  • Peripheral Exudative Hemorrhagic Chorioretinopathy

    Dec 17 2025 by Virginia Gebhart

    77 year old female with amelanotic choroidal lesion with subretinal hemorrhage at the base and exudate inferiorly. Lesion has decreased on exam, photos and ultrasound after 4 months. Ultrasound showed irregular lesion that is regressing, variable internal reflectivity, and no venous pulsations. Findings most consistent with PEHCR. Will continue to observe.

  • Leber’s Miliary Aneurysm

    Dec 12 2025 by KANWALJEET HARJOT MADAN, M.S. (Ophthalmology); FAICO (Vitreous - Retina)

    A 34 year-old male presented with decrease vision in right eye for 3 months. Anterior segment exam was normal. Fundus exam in RE revealed presence of macular edema which was evident on OCT. Multiple retinal vascular aneurysmal dilatations with telangiectasia of the retina blood vessels noted superiorly which was evident on FFA. These aneurysms were multiple, tiny and leaky on FFA. He was diagnosed to have Leber’s miliary aneurysms. It is a rare, typically unilateral eye condition, often seen in young males, characterized by multiple tiny, leaky aneurysms in the retinal blood vessels, leading to deposits of hard exudates and potential vision loss, especially if it affects the macula. It is considered a milder form of Coats' disease.

  • Cracking the Angioid Streaks Mystery

    Nov 26 2025 by SHRADDHA RAJ SHRIVASTAVA

    Left eye pseudocolor fundus photo showing hyperpigmented irregular lines emanating from the disc in a radiating fashion. Surrounding the angioid streaks and at the posterior pole, we can see numerous dot-like hypopigmented deposits along with a grayish-green membrane with exudates at the macula. The image is suggestive of Angioid Streaks with CNVM.

  • All That Glows Yellow Isn’t Mellow: Coats' Disease Unveiled

    Nov 4 2025 by SHRADDHA RAJ SHRIVASTAVA

    Montage fundus image of an 11 year old boy diagnosed with left eye Coats' disease (stage 3A1), reveals a hyperemic disc and surrounding intra-retinal exudates superior to the disc. There is a single fibroglial nodule at the macula causing submacular fibrosis with exudation. We can see areas of pigmentary changes and RPE atrophy in posterior pole and mid-peripheral retina supero-temporally. There is massive yellowish subretinal exudation in all the quadrants, which are associated with telangiectatic aneurysmal capillary dilation, more prominently seen in the nasal periphery. Supero-nasally we can also see an orange-red elevated vaso-proliferative mass with overlying dilated capillaries, which has likely developed secondary to untreated long standing disease. We can also see associated extrafoveal subtotal exudative retinal detachment in the inferior and nasal quadrants.

  • Fluorescein Angiography (FA) of a Primary Retinal Vasoproliferative Tumor

    Jun 29 2025 by Marcelo Zas, MD PhD

    We present a case of a 33-year-old male patient, who presented with decreased visual acuity in his right eye with 20/80, presenting a primary retinal vasoproliferative tumor in the lower temporal quadrant. The fluorescein angiography findings are: 1. Early hyperfluorescence due to its rich intrinsic vascularity and often has dilated feeding arterioles and draining venules. 2. Marked progressive leakage from the tumor vessels. 3. The late leakage often obscures fine vascular details in the late phase and corresponds to exudation and macular edema seen clinically. 4. Staining of surrounding exudates, RPE disturbances and gliosis. 5. In our case also a marked peripheral capillary closure in the areas adjacent to the tumor and in other quadrants as well.

    Jun 24 2025 by Marcelo Zas, MD PhD

    We present a case of a 33-year-old male patient, who presented with decreased visual acuity in his right eye with 20/80, presenting a primary retinal vasoproliferative tumor in the lower temporal quadrant. The tumor is associated with serous retinal detachment, hard exudation, neovascularization and telangiectasias. Lipid exudates extend toward the macula, indicating macular involvement, which may contribute to decreased visual acuity. Oi was normal with 20/20 of BCVA. The patient was treated initially with IV anti-VEGF therapy and cryotherapy.
