A simplified practical technique for biopsy of retina and choroid has been developed in dogs. A 270 degree circular scleral flap of 3 mm diameter is raised. The risks of chorioretinal bleeding and vitreous loss are greatly reduced by intravenous mannitol and controlled hyperventilation, with hyperoxygenation and transient, systemic hypotension under general anesthesia. Rreasonable ultrastructur...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study is to describe a system for color photograph evaluation in uveitis and report baseline morphologic findings for the Multicenter Uveitis Steroid Treatment (MUST) Trial. Four-hundred seventy-nine eyes of 255 subjects with intermediate, posterior, and panuveitis had stereoscopic color fundus photographs obtained by certified photographers and evaluated by cer...

Aicardi syndrome is defined by the clinical triad of infantile spasms, agenesis of the corpus callosum, and pathognomonic chorioretinal lacunae. Almost all patients are females with severe cognitive and physical disabilities. All of the cases reported in the literature have had early-onset seizures. Most cases of Aicardi syndrome exhibit very slow development, even when seizures are eventually ...

CLINICAL CASE We report the case of an 81-day-old female infant who was brought to the Emergency Department because of a seizure. At 20 weeks of gestational age she was diagnosed to have agenesis of the corpus callosum, with this being confirmed later by magnetic resonance imaging. Ophthalmological examination of the fundus showed peripapillar chorioretinal lesions (lacunar chorioretinopathy) i...

guttata and a slightly up-drawn pupil in both eyes (Figure 2). Intraocular pressure was normal. Indirect ophthalmoscopy revealed a normal retina in the right eye and several peripheral inferior chorioretinal scars in the left eye. The nature of the chorioretinal scars could not be resolved. She had neurologic signs and symptoms suggestive of multiple sclerosis. There were no other family member...

Retinal detachment (RD) is a condition that requires urgent ophthalmic surgery. Existing methods of RD vitreoretinal correction cause numerous complications and bring inconvenience to patients due the need for vitrectomy postoperative tamponade. Therefore, surgical treatment are promising, which allow forming strong chorioretinal adhesion in short period time after surgery, but damage retina as...

PURPOSE The aim of this article is to investigate the effect of transcorneal electrical stimulation (TES) on chorioretinal blood flow in healthy human subjects. METHODS The chorioretinal blood flow of 10 healthy subjects was measured before and after TES by laser speckle flowgraphy and expressed as the square blur rate (SBR). The chorioretinal blood flow was determined before and immediately ...

PURPOSE To report the chorioretinal coloboma, and its association with increased risk of retinal detachment (RD) and choroidal neovascularization (CNV). METHODS This retrospective case series included eyes with chorioretinal coloboma diagnosed between 1995 and 2014 with a focus on RD and CNV as related complications. Cases of CNV were managed with laser photocoagulation or intravitreal inject...

PURPOSE To analyze indocyanine green (ICG) angiographic findings of chorioretinal folds. METHODS Eight patients (9 eyes) in whom chorioretinal folds had been diagnosed were enrolled in this study. Color photography, fluorescein angiography (FA) and ICG angiography (IA) were performed. RESULTS Indocyanine green angiography demonstrated choroidal venous congestion and a filling delay of the c...
