A 73-year-old woman with macular pucker underwent a pars plana vitrectomy with membrane peeling. Additionally the patient suffers from diabetic retinopathy after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus sixteen years ago. Prior to the procedure she was treated with a series of intravitreal Bevacizumab-injections due to diabetic macular edema. There was no history of a proliferative DRP. During the vitrectomy a branch of an obliterated NVE spontaneously detached and floated freely in the vitreous. The 3D shot was captured via Alcon’s NGENUITY® 3D Visualization System in form of photograph and video providing an outstandingly detailed image of the branched NVE.

Peri-papillary vascular loops (PVL) are rare congenital vascular malformations, which are usually detected as accidental finding during routine fundus examination. They can often be confused with tributary vein occlusion or racemose hemangioma. Although benign and asymptomatic, they can be rarely associated with vitreous hemorrhage and arterial occlusion. We herein present a case of a 60-year-old hypertensive male, who was diagnosed elsewhere to have a tributary vein occlusion and was referred to us. FFA was advised to rule out neovascularization, surrounding capillary non perfusion and mass lesion (hemangioma). On FFA, the arterial loop showed a slightly delayed filling (3-5 seconds) as compared to the other arterial vessels and the original vessel appeared to be a branch arising from central retinal artery. The choroidal filling was delayed in the area supplied by the loop. A cilioretinal artery was also noted. The patient was diagnosed to have a Peri-papillary vascular arterial loop (PVL), likely to be congenital in origin. The patient was reassured and was advised yearly follow up. These loops are usually accidental findings discovered during routine fundus examination. Since these vessels are looped and tortuous, they exhibit a slower and laminar blood flow, which make them more prone for arterial occlusions. The vitreous in this area tends to be adherently attached, so during PVD induction, it is likely to cause a tear and hemorrhage leading to vitreous hemorrhage. Until and unless there is a break, this hemorrhage tends to resolve on its own and does not warrant treatment. If there is an evident break, it can be dealt with laser barrage.

24 hours post op fundus photograph of a 43-year-old man who had perforating injury to the right eye with a small piece of plastic while he was hammering. OD LP, subconjunctival hemorrhage, clear cornea, hyphema, irido and ciclodyalisis as well as a luxated lens with traumatic cataract and a dense vitreous hemorrhage. B-US showed rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with a tear and a big inferior hemorrhagic choroidal detachment. 360 peritomy revealed 2-entry scleral wounds were found in zone II (M V and M VI) and closure was performed. 25 G PPV was performed with the infusion canal placed in the AC through the limbus. Lensectomy and removal of a dense recent vitreous hemorrhage revealed a white detached retina with an exit wound through the temporal inferior segment of the optic nerve with a nasal GRT and sub retinal hemorrhage as well as temporal inferior choroidal, PVD was induced and PFOs helped stabilizing the retina while vitrectomy and sub-retinal hemorrhage was removed through the GRT. Fluid air exchange was made and 360 endolaser over the buckle indentation was done and silicon oil was used as endotamponade. This picture was taken 24 hrs after the surgery.

Dark-field slit microscopy was performed on fresh, unfixed, post-mortem human eyes that had undergone dissection to peel off the sclera, choroid, and retina. The vitreous body remains attached to the anterior segment which is seen below, while the posterior pole is above in these images. The top panel demonstrates the absence of internal vitreous structures that scatter light in youth (left image from an 11 year-old girl, right image from a 14 year-old boy. The middle panel demonstrates light scattering from linear, fibrous structures that have an antero-posterior orientation with insertions into the vitreous base peripherally and the posterior vitreous cortex, typical in middle age (left image from a 56 year-old and right image from a 59 year-old). The bottom panel illustrates advance fibrous liquefaction in old age (88-year-old subject). [From Sebag J, Niemeyer M, Koss M: Anomalous PVD and vitreoschisis. In: Vitreous – in Health & Disease (J.

This is a fundus photo in the eye of a young phakic patent who presented with a 6 month history of "difficulty seeing at night" and subjective nasal "blurriness" in the left eye. There was a chronic temporal RD, OS, extending to the arcades (Mac on). This photo is week 1 s/p Pneumatic retinopexy with SF6 gas and laser retinopexy to temporal breaks (6 holes, lattice); no PVD. As you can see, there is a "bleb" of viscous schlieren given the chronic nature of this RD that persist posterior to the breaks and temporal to the macula. This type of sub retinal fluid may take months to years to resorb.

Condition/keywords: chronic retinal detachment, pneumatic retinopexy
