A 29-year-old female with a history of diabetes mellitus type 1, presented with proliferative diabetic retinopathy OU and tractional retinal detachment OD. The patient underwent retinal detachment repair with pars plana vitrectomy, endolaser and silicone oil placement. After one month of her surgery, the patient presented with retinal fibrosis and traction. The image on the top shows the OCT of the fibrosis post op, that was not present in the pre op (OCT image on the bottom).

Fluorecein and ICG angiography of a 80-year-old male with peripheral exudative hemorrhagic chorioretinopathy affecting his right eye. Patient noted only mild floaters for a couple weeks OD on 10/5/2020. The physician strongly suspects that the lesion is subretinal blood (likely from PEHCR) rather than choroidal melanoma. There is blocking on FA and ICG with a definite lack of intrinsic vessels within the mass lesion. He will monitor closely, as the patient is monocular with a history of multiple surgeries (which the family believes PPV for "scar tissue") OS mostly in 2013. His family also reports remembering possibly being told there was a "small mass" in the left eye at one point in their surgical course. The physician believes that it's possible this was a bleed related to PEHCR as it typically exists as a bilateral condition.

22-year-old female presented with painless blurry vision OD > OS for one week. On exam, she exhibited moderate vitritis, papillitis and broad placoid chorioretinitis OD and multifocal placoid peripheral chorioretinitis OS (without vitritis or papillitis). The anterior segment was unremarkable OU. Serum RPR and confirmatory treponemal Ab were both positive. Neuroimaging and CSF studies were unremarkable. A 2 week course of IV penicillin was initiated. The placoid lesions had resolved five days after beginning treatment.

Bergmeister's papilla is a small tuft of glial tissue which arises from the center of the optic disc, and represents a remnant of the fetal hyaloid artery. The hyaloid artery provides nutrition to the lens during development, and runs forward to the lens from the optic disc. At birth the hyaloid artery regresses, and is normally completely regressed by the time of birth. Bergmeister's papilla is frequently observed as an incidental clinical finding if this artery has an incomplete regression posteriorly. However, in the severe forms it can be associated with cataracts, persistence of the primitive vitreous, microphthalmia, vitreous hemorrhages and sometimes tractional retinal detachment, due to contraction of the residual fibro vascular tissue. Therefore, careful monitoring of vitreous thickening in the peripapillary areas, both by examining the ocular fundus, and especially by SD-OCT, is of considerable importance. Here we have one such of a 30 year old young male who came in for a routine checkup, in whom we noted a Bergmeister’s papilla. Due to its benign nature, patient was reassured and was asked to follow up yearly.
