  • Retinal Emboli and Resolution

    Jun 17 2021 by Jonathan S Chang, MD, FASRS

    This patient developed a cerebral vascular accident and underwent neuroendovascular thrombectomy. Following the thrombectomy the patient noted transient blurred vision. During that time the patient was also noted to have significant left carotid artery disease. Top row widefield photos are color (left) and red free (right) of left eye fundus showing small scattered emboli, especially superonasally, inferiorly and inferotemporally. Bottom row color (left) and red free (right) widefield photos taken five months after presentation, showing resolution of some of the emboli, but persistence of the superonasal embolus.

  • Bilateral Calcific Retina Arteriolar Occlusions in a Patient with Metastatic Ovarian Carcinoma

    Dec 10 2020 by McGill University Health Centre

    47-year-old female with cough and fever. Imaging showed a right pulmonary infiltrate. Transbronchial needle biopsy revealed lymphangitic spread of papillary adenocarcinoma with psammoma bodies. MRI of thyroid, CT of abdomen and pelvis were negative. gynecologic evaluation negative at that time . The patient had bilateral floaters, VA: 20/40 OD and 20/20 OS. Fundus examination showed retinal arteriolar sheathing and a flat choroidal lesion OS and vitritis OD. Fluorescein angiogram showed staining of left superior temporal retinal arterioles and bilateral midperipheral patchy hyperfluorescence at RPE The patient vision in the OD deteriorated to 20/400, and in the OS 20/50. Four months later a new choroidal lesion was diagnosed OS. An abdominal mass consistent with a cystadenoma of the ovary was diagnosed. After a year patient developed systemic metastasis. Autopsy: Metastatic adenocarcinoma to the lung, both adrenals, para-aortic lymph nodes, left hip, right breast, occipital skin, serosal surface of liver, pituitary. In almost all metastatic lesions psammoma bodies were found. Presumptive diagnosis is a primary tumor of the ovary.
