Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a vision-threatening disorder. Although successful repair of RRD, incomplete visual recovery, color vision defects, or persistent metamorphopsia may be still persist. Recent advances in retinal imaging have improved resolution to survey retinal pathologic changes. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) is a non-contact real-time system w...

Epiretinal membrane (ERM) is a disorder of the vitreomacular interface characterized by symptoms of decreased visual acuity and metamorphopsia. The diagnosis and classification of ERM has traditionally been based on clinical examination findings. However, modern optical coherence tomography (OCT) has proven to be more sensitive than clinical examination for the diagnosis of ERM. Furthermore, OC...

The epiretinal membrane (ERM) is semitransparent; fibrocellular membrane found on the inner surface of the internal limiting membrane (ILM) at the macula [1]. ERM most commonly take place in the elderly population and can lead to distortion, blurring of vision, and in some patients severe vision loss [13]. ERM formation may lead to visual inconveniences, such as metamorphopsia, photopsia, blurr...

A 60-year-old woman with a past medical history of branch retinal vein occlusion presented with decreased vision and metamorphopsia in her left eye. A fundus examination revealed a tortuous retinal vein with a few retinal hemorrhages in the inferotemporal quadrant. Optical coherence tomography revealed a partially separated posterior vitreous membrane pulling up the fovea. The patient refused s...

PURPOSE To describe a case of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in a female diagnosed with Beals-Hecht syndrome. METHODS A retrospective, interventional case is described in a 26-year-old female complaining of metamorphopsia and visual loss in her left eye (counting fingers). The fluorescein angiogram and the optical coherence tomography supported the diagnosis of CNV. Intravitreal ranibizum...

281 ISSN 1758-2008 10.2217/NPY.12.37 © 2012 Future Medicine Ltd Neuropsychiatry (2012) 2(4), 281–289 Summary The Alice in Wonderland syndrome refers to a set of symptoms characterized by perceptual distortions, such as visual distortions (i.e., metamorphopsia), body image and time distortions. The Alice in Wonderland syndrome has been described consistently over the past five decades in various...

A 16-year-old Caucasian female with a 6-month history of decreased visual acuity and metamorphopsia in the left eye is reported. The fundus of the left eye revealed a well defined lesion in the macula region. Diagnosis of choroidal osteoma was established using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT), fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), indocyanine green angiography (ICG), and B-sc...

PURPOSE To report a case of retinal capillary hemangioma treated with verteporfin photodynamic therapy combined with intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide. METHODS A 15-year-old female presented with metamorphopsia in the left eye for 7 days. Examination showed peripheral endophytic retinal capillary hemangioma, macular edema, and a best-corrected visual acuity of 20/50. The hemangioma and mac...

Visual pseudohallucinations are reported on in a patient with a left lower quadrantanopia due to a right parietotemporal surgical defect after tumour removal. Besides metamorphopsia, he hallucinated the lower half of human figures which were limited to within the borders of the anopic defect and appeared “amputated” at the hip with one forearm and hand appearing from above in correct anatomical...
