Microcystic macular degeneration from optic neuropathy.
Sir, We read with great interest the article by Gelfand et al. (2012) in the June issue of Brain. The authors described in detail vacuolar macular changes in the inner nuclear layer of patients with multiple sclerosis. This ‘microcystic macular oedema’ was associated with decreased visual acuity and a higher disability score. We found similar microcysts in the macular inner nuclear layer of a 1...

متن کاملThe expanding spectrum of aetiologies causing retinal microcystic macular change.
In this issue of Brain, John Kisimbi et al. (2013) describe spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings in a cohort of patients with Tanzanian endemic optic neuropathy, a disorder of unknown aetiology, leading to severe bilateral subacute optic neuropathy. They describe severe retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thinning and concomitant microcystic macular changes in 12.5% of this ...
متن کاملLeber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy Associated with Bilateral Macular Holes
Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) causes visual loss, predominantly in healthy young men. We recently examined a patient who previously had bilateral macular holes and subsequently developed LHON at 74 years of age. Although his central scotomas were initially attributed to the macular holes, his visual acuity declined following an initial improvement after operative closure of the macul...
متن کاملOptic neuropathy and macular chorioretinal folds caused by orbital cherubism.
microscopy illustrated in the text is consistent with anaplastic large cell lymphoma. The case we report is also of the T-cell type. Of the 2 cases reported by Coupland et al, only 1 was ALK positive. Initial symptoms of conjunctival lymphoma may include a mass, irritation, ptosis, epiphora, blurred vision, proptosis, or diplopia; thus, the diagnosis requires a high index of clinical suspicion....
