  • Macular Coloboma

    Jul 17 2024 by Anubhav Chauhan

    This is fundus photograph of a 30 year male depicting a Macular coloboma in the right eye. The patient had a sharply defined large, yellowish white, coarsely pigmented, atrophic, round crater like defect at the macula. Spectral domain optical coherence tomography confirmed our diagnosis. The serology testing such as serum IgM, IgG for toxoplasma and cytomegalovirus was negative. His systemic examination was normal.

  • Rare Bilateral Choroidal Metastasis from Occult Primary Lung Cancer

    May 5 2021 by Deependra Vikram Singh, MD FASRS

    Fundus photographs and OCT scans of a 73-year-old non-smoker Indian male who presented to our retina clinic in 2013 with blurred vision in left eye for past 2 weeks. BCVA was 20/20 in right eye and 20/40 in left eye. Slit lamp exam was unremarkable for both eyes with no cells in aqueous or anterior vitreous. Fundus examination revealed creamy yellow choroidal lesions in both eyes. Lesion in right eye was one disc diameter (DD) in size and was located close to fovea (Fig-1a). Lesion in the left eye was bigger with a size of 2 DD located superior to fovea (Fig-1b). OCT scan for left eye revealed neurosensory detachment involving fovea (Fig-1c). Fundus fluorescein angiography was inconclusive for right eye and showed late hyper fluorescence the choroidal lesion in left eye. Patient underwent detailed systemic work up for malignancy that revealed primary lung non-small cell carcinoma. He had widespread metastasis affecting liver and brain. Palliative chemotherapy and radiotherapy were initiated 4 weeks after he presented to us. The choroidal lesions show progression on fundus picture and OCT scans done at 4 weeks follow up after initial presentation (Fig – 1d, e, f). The lesions in both eyes show regression at 4 weeks and 12 weeks follow up after initiation of therapy. Unfortunately, patient succumbed at 13 weeks follow up due to disease progression. The case demonstrates rare bilateral choroidal metastasis from primary lung cancer and also highlights that lesions can be asymptomatic till they develop neurosensory detachment as evident from asymptomatic lesion in right eye despite proximity to fovea and symptomatic lesion in left eye with NSD.

  • "Untouched" Intra-ocular Foreign Body - Course Over 7 Years!

    Jul 7 2020 by Deependra Vikram Singh, MD FASRS

    25-yr-old male presented to our retina clinic in 2007 with history of Hammer and chisel injury to left eye 2 months back. On examination BCVA in left eye was 20/20. Slit-lamp examination revealed iris hole and fundus examination showed an encapsulated metallic intraocular foreign body (IOFB) close to inferior arcade in left eye. Patient was advised Vitreous surgery with IOFB removal. Patient, however did not turn up for Surgery and revisited our clinic after seven years in 2014. On examination his BCVA was 20/20 in left eye and IOFB has reduced in size with brown siderotic deposits seen over IOFB capsule. Examination revealed posterior sub-capsular cataract but no siderotic changes with intraocular pressure (IOP) also being recorded as normal. In view of good visual acuity and no siderotic changes, he was advised regular follow up and ERG. Since most IOFBs would get timely removed by vitreous surgery, this Image capturing the natural course of a metallic IOFB is rare.

Preop VA was a doubtful light perception. Borders of the retinotomy are stable at 6 months under 1300 Cs Silicon oil with some pigmented PVR developping the edges. Macula appears spared. Silicon oil emulsification droplets are well visualized beneath the superior temporal arcade.

  • 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 FVRS

    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.

  • Amelanotic Melanoma

    Aug 12 2025 by César Adrián Gómez Valdivia, MD

    This FAF image reveals a hypoautofluorescent mass with areas of dense hyperautofluorescent stippling—a classic pattern suggestive of an amelanotic choroidal melanoma. Amelanotic melanoma is a rare variant of uveal melanoma, accounting for only a minority of cases. Unlike pigmented melanomas, these lesions lack melanin, making them more challenging to detect on conventional color fundus imaging. FAF Characteristics: • Central hypoautofluorescence: due to loss or compression of the RPE • Peripheral hyperautofluorescent speckling: consistent with lipofuscin accumulation or RPE disruption • Often associated with subretinal fluid or orange pigment seen clinically Location: Juxtapapillary, with potential optic nerve involvement—a factor that complicates both diagnosis and

  • Angiographic Storm: Fluorescein Leakage in Retinal Vasculitis

    Nov 17 2025 by SHRADDHA RAJ SHRIVASTAVA

    This left eye montage fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) image of a 19 year old male with idiopathic retinal vasculitis, having skip vasculitic lesions predominantly involving retinal veins. There are areas of blocked fluorescence due to intraretinal hemorrhages, the involved veins have filling defects and occlusions, leading to formation of numerous collateral channels. The inflamed vessels also show perivascular fuzzy hyperfluorescent stain due to leakage of dye. We can also see multiple peripheral capillary non perfusion (CNP) areas, with a 'hot disc', suggestive of ongoing inflammation.
