Combined sewing machine technique cyclopexy With transscleral diode cyclophotocoagulation for complete posttraumatic cyclodialysis
To describe an alternative technique used in massive post-traumatic cyclodialysis. Classic techniques such as direct cyclopexy are performed ab externo and entail a higher risk of endophthalmitis or ciliary body hemorrhage. Therefore we present a case report using combined sewing machine technique cyclopexy with transscleral diode cyclophotocoagulation for complete post-traumatic cyclodialysis.
Rosai-Dorfman-Destombes disease in adolescence with hearing and vision loss involvement: A multidisciplinary approach
To report a rare case of Rosai-Dorfman-Destombes (RDD) disease in a teenage girl exhibiting mild fever, night chills, vertigo, and progressive bilateral vision and hearing loss. Case report of a 15-year-old girl who underwent extensive ophthalmic multimodal imaging and a comprehensive workup evaluation. Multiple choroid lesion masses in both eyes associated with systemic multifocal lymphadenopathy, involvement of the paranasal sinuses, and unusual intracranial manifestations well-shown by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and whole-body PET-scan. The PET-Scan and MRI imaging showed dural-based intracranial lesions, choroid-plexus signaling, and meningeal spread, as well as a focus on the paranasal sinuses, which helped determine the best biopsy location for a definitive diagnosis through immunohistochemistry. Here we describe a rare condition of RDD disease with bilateral visual and hearing loss associated with bilateral multiple choroid masses and neurological symptoms in an adolescent female patient. A definitive diagnosis relied on histological assessment, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary evaluation. RDD should be considered in the differential diagnosis of choroidal metastasis, tuberculosis, and other lymphoproliferative diseases.
Impact of anti-VEGF treatment-free interval during the first year on 5-year outcomes in eyes with branch retinal vein occlusion
This study aims to analyze the impact of longest treatment-free interval (TFI) between anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) injections during the first year of treatment on 5-year best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and recurrence of macular edema (ME) in eyes with ME secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).

Epiretinal large disc of lyophilized amniotic membrane without retinotomy or PFCL for highly myopic macular hole retinal detachment
Spontaneous globe rupture from an intraocular melanotic schwannoma
Melanotic schwannoma (MS) is a rare neoplasm composed of Schwann cells with melanosomes in various maturation stages. While MS is typically observed in spinal nerve roots or peripheral nerves, their involvement in intraocular structures is uncommon. Here, we present a case of spontaneous globe rupture as the presenting feature of intraocular extension of a MS.

Assessing scleral thickness in patients with POAG and myopia by using OCT
The aim of the study is to utilize swept-source OCT for imaging the rear sclera near the ONH, calculating the thickness of the SL and lamina, and examining how these measurements correspond to various metrics.
Subacute onset rhino-orbital mucormycosis caused by Cunninghamella in a Chinese leukemia patient: A case report and literature review
We herein report a case of subacute-onset rhino-orbital mucormycosis (ROM) in an acute leukemia patent caused by the rare but most lethal pathogenic fungus - Cunninghamella. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of ROM caused by Cunninghamella reported in China.
