  • Prepapillary Vascular Loop

    Jul 4 2025 by KANWALJEET HARJOT MADAN, M.S. (Ophthalmology); FAICO (Vitreous - Retina)

    This is the fundus picture of right eye of a young 32 years female depicting pre papillary vascular loop. A prepapillary vascular loop is a congenital anomaly of the optic disc that presents as an elevated and twisted bundle of vessels projecting into the vitreous cavity. It is a benign condition, usually unilateral but can be bilateral. It is asymptomatic and discovered during routine eye examination. This anomaly can sometimes cause complications like branch retinal artery occlusion, vitreous hemorrhage, or sub retinal hemorrhage.

  • Eye of the Hurricane

    Apr 9 2025 by Gustavo Uriel Fonseca Aguirre

    Ultrasound biomicroscopy of a post-operative eye (status post trabeculectomy and phacoemulsification) reveals a patent ostium on the right side, along with an intraocular lens in position. A hyphema is observed displaying small convection currents, creating a circular motion pattern due to the temperature gradient between the iris and cornea. Notably, the blood flow can be seen circulating toward the trabeculectomy site.
