Best vitelliform macular dystrophy (BVMD) or Best disease. Is the most common autosomal dominant macular dystrophy. It involves the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), and leads to a characteristic bilateral yellow “egg-yolk” appearance of the macula as you can see in this image. Essentially, BVMD is considered to have 6 clinical stages: Previtelliform, Vitelliform, Pseudohypopyon, Vitelleruptive, Atrophic and Choroidal neovascularization. As the disease progresses, patients may experience a slow, bilateral decrease in visual acuity, central scotoma, or metamorphopsia. With secondary CNV, visual decline can be rapid, however.

The enucleation specimen in (A) shows a diffuse melanoma infiltrating the choroid and ciliary body. In the center, a large area of necrosis and hemorrhage is present (*) and the retina is infiltrated (arrows). Note hypopyon in the anterior chamber and the cataractous lens.

Condition/keywords: enucleation, mushroom-shaped

May 18 2020 by McGill University Health Centre

This enucleation specimen shows multiple irregular chorioretinal scars, surrounded by hyperplastic retinal pigment epithelium (arrowheads). Some adherent membranes are present in the vitreous cavity (arrow). The lens has a total cataract and the anterior chamber is filled with whitish material that corresponds to hypopyon.

Condition/keywords: toxoplasmosis uveitis, uveitis

In lens-induced uveitis, lens protein in the anterior chamber causes a zonal granulomatous response, which occurs usually 1 day to 3 weeks after capsule rupture. This may be associated with sympathetic ophthalmia. This enucleation specimen shows an indented cornea, accompanied by complete hypopyon occupying the anterior chamber with intense vitreitis. Note that the translucent vitreous has become whitish, and the lens surface is irregular with decoloration of the peripheral areas (arrows).

Condition/keywords: uveitis

34-year-old white male injured while taking apart wooden pallets with a hammer in each hand and no protective eye-wear; he did not notice what hit his eye; just said his eye hurt and teared for four days before calling an eye doctor; his vision was 20/400 sc and IOP 6; the anterior chamber was deep with minimal cell and no hypopyon; and conjunctival/scleral laceration was present near the lateral rectus insersion; the vitreous was quiet; in the temporal portion of the fundus and full thickness laceration was seen with surrounding hemorrhage and what appeared to be an eyelash vs other (possibly a staple, from the wooden pallet). During surgery 2 eyelashes were pulled from the area of the laceration; the lateral rectus muscle was disorganized; after primary closure, a ppv was performed, the object in the picture was removed with forcepts; laser partial afx and gas; antibiotics injected at 1/2 dose.
