All patients' medical history and clinical features were recorded. The examinations included best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), fundus examination, and routine eye examinations. Posterior coats thickness (PCT) was determined by B-scan ultrasound, the CT was measured by enhanced depth imaging spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) and clinical data were compiled and analyzed.RESULTS: After application of extensive exclusion criteria, 23 patients with PS remained (13 females, 10 males). The average age at presentation was 29.5±9.24 years old. Ocular pain and blurred vision were the two most common complained symptoms by patients. Anterior scleritis occurred in 12 patients, which was confirmed by ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) examination. Despite all patients displaying serous retinal detachment in their macula, no fluorescein leakage was observed in the macular area. Optic disc swelling was documented in 10 of the 23 eyes. From B-scan ultrasound examination, the PCT in creased with fluid in Tenon's capsule demonstrated as a typical T-sign. The average PCT was 2.51±0.81 mm in the PS-affected eyes and only 1.09±0.29 mm in the unaffected eye (P<0.0001). The subfoveal CT was 442.61 ±55.61 μm, which correlated with axis length (r=-0.65, P=0.001) and PCT (r=0.783, P<0.001). The BCVA and IOP did not correlate with either CT or PCT.CONCLUSION: PS with serous retinal detachment presented a variety of symptoms, such as pain, visual loss, and physical indicators. Typical T-sign detected by B-scan ultrasound is a useful confirmatory sign for PS diagnosis. Pathological increases in CT might be a potential predictive factor for inflammation.展开更多

METHODS： In this cross-sectional study, DME was classified by OCT as diffuse retinal thickness（DRT）, cystoid macular edema（CME） and serous retinal detachment（SRD） and the relationship between the systemic risk factors and DME patterns was evaluated. RESULTS： Of the 57 patients with DME, 21（36.8%） had DRT, 24（42.1%） had CME and 12（21.0%） had SRD. Microor macro-albuminuria was significantly higher in the DRT pattern（61.9%） compared with the SRD（50.0%） and CME patterns（25.0%; P=0.040）. Hemoglobin A1 c（Hb A1 c） level was significantly higher and patients were younger in the DRT pattern group（P=0.034, P=0.032）. Best corrected visual acuity was the worst and central macular thickness was the thickest in the CME pattern group. CONCLUSION： Micro-or macro-albuminuria may be more frequent and Hb A1 c level may be higher in patients with DRT. These patients are also seen to be younger than patients with non-DRT.展开更多

Methods: A retrospective and observational case series study was performed at two centers of ophthalmology in Rosario-Argentina from January 2016 to December 2017. Eight eyes of 5 patients diagnosed with dome-shaped macula with subfoveal hyporeflective zone seen in optical coherence tomography (OCT) were included. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), OCT, fluorescein angiography (FA), differential diagnoses, clinical course and different treatments were reviewed. Results: Baseline visual acuity ranged from 20/25 to 20/200. OCT revealed that the retinal choroidal macular complex had a convex shape and exhibited foveal neurosensory retinal detachment in all cases. FA showed mild diffuse hyperfluorescence due to changes in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). No sign of leakage was observed. Different treatments were used, including intravitreal antiangiogenic drugs, oral spironolactone, melatonin and observation. Follow-up time was between 6 and 18 months. BCVA and OCT findings remained unchanged after different options of treatment. Conclusions: DSM is an unusual entity, which can be confused with other maculopathies that cause neurosensory retinal detachment and do not respond to different types of treatment. Hence, in our opinion, observation is a reasonable approach for this disorder.展开更多
