  • Metamorphopsia

    Oct 15 2013 by Maurice F. Rabb

    A 38 year old lady presented with metamorphopsia in the left eye of two days' duration. Vision was 20/30 OD and 20/40 OS. Pigmentary changes were seen in the posterior pole consistent with pattern dystrophy. A year later she had acute loss of vision in the right eye to 20/100 but no subretinal neovascularization was evident. Subsequently this recovered to the level of 20/50.

  • A rare case of a 45-year-old male with choroidal neovascular membrane in Familial Dominant Drusen (Doyne Honeycomb Drusen) in both eyes treated with intravitreal injections.

    Nov 30 2022 by SHRADDHA ASHOK CHANDORKAR, DNB DO

    A 45-year-old man presented with diminution of vision in both eyes with metamorphopsia, which was painless and gradually progressive in nature. BCVA at presentation were 6/40 and 6/36 for the right and left eye respectively. Anterior segment examination of both eyes was unremarkable. IOP were within normal limits. Fundus examination showed bilateral numerous yellowish white round closely spaced lesions extending radially from the vascular arcades till the periphery associated with an elevated grayish macular choroidal neovascular membrane (CNV) with multiple drusen in the macular area and posterior pole. Impression was Familial Dominant Drusen (Doyne Honeycomb Drusen) associated with CNVM, both eyes. Color fundus photograph and autofluorescence showed Familial Dominant Drusen with CNVM. Subsequently , the patient underwent periodic intravitreal injections of Ranibizumab in both eyes under guarded visual prognosis, for which he tolerated well.

  • Best Disease

    Apr 24 2024 by Marcelo Zas, MD PhD

    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.

  • Choroidal Osteoma With Active CNVM

    Apr 10 2020 by Dipak Nag, MBBS, FCPS, MSc, FRF

    A 12-year-old boy visited our clinic for sudden, painless blurring of vision and metamorphopsia in left eye that he noticed 7 days back. His BCVA was 6/60 in left eye. Anterior segment examination was unremarkable. On fundus examination of his left eye showed a yellow-white lesion at the macula with well-defined geographic border and diffuse and mottled depigmentation of the overlying pigment epithelium, of which an elevated gray-green areas at the center with subretinal hemorrhage around. The right eye was found normal.

  • Circumscribed Choroidal Hemangioma

    Jul 3 2020 by Dhaivat Shah

    A 30-year-old young male presented with drop in vision in right eye since 1 year (6/60). Fundus examination revealed choroidal hemangioma superotemporal to macula. Choroidal hemangioma is an unusual benign vascular tumor of the choroid. It can be circumscribed solitary or diffuse tumor with the later having other systemic associations. Circumscribed choroidal hemangiomas (CCHs) are usually unilateral, unifocal hamartomatous vascular tumor affecting people in second to fourth decade. It appers as round to oval, orangish-red mass in posterior pole with smooth homogenous surface mostly present in macular and peripapillary area. Hyperopic shift is seen in sub-foveal tumors in contrast to para-foveal ones which are usually asymptomatic or present with metamorphopsia or photopsia and diminished vision secondary to exudative retinal detachment. B-scan shows highly reflective tumor without any shadowing or acoustic solidity with high anterior A scan spike. EDI-OCT here depicts a smooth gently sloping choridal mass with compressed choriocapillaries and enlarged medium and large choroidal vessels. Over a period of time structural abnormalities of the outer retina can be visualised. Ancillary testing using Fluorescein Angiography shows lacy hyper-fluorescence during early arterial phase followed by increased hyper-fluorescence due to progressive profuse leakage from pin point foci during arterial and venous phase. Indocyanine green angiography shows lacy diffuse fluorescent tumor in early phase followed by hypo-fluorescent tumor due to dye wash out in late phase. Intrinsic auto-fluorescence is also seen in CCHs from lipofuscin and fresh sub-retinal fluid. Tumor is relatively hyper-intense with respect to vitreous in T1-weighted images in iso-intense in T2-weighted images of MRI. Asymptomatic cases need no treatment, while patients showing vision loss with presence or absence of exudative retinal detachment can be treated with photodynamic therapy which is preferred treatment due to site specific action. Selective occlusion of choroidal neovascularization can be achieved while the neurosensory retinal layers and Bruch membrane are almost unaffected, leaving retinal function intact. Green or rarely red wavelength laser photocoagulation is used to create a chorioretinal adhesion and resolve the SRF. Other treatment modalities include Transpupilary thermotherapy, external beam irradiation, proton beam therapy, brachytherapy and gamma knife.

    A 23-year-old male with a history of direct exposure to sunlight on several occasions, presenting blurred vision, comes for evaluation due to metamorphopsias of 3 months' evolution. The fundus photograph shows the presence of an epiretinal membrane. The OCT shows a hyperreflective line at the vitreomacular interface that causes traction to the layers of the inner retina, as well as distortion in the architecture of the macular region, with the presence of subfoveal detachment of the RPE.
