The central retina vessel density and foveal avascular zone values of 792 healthy adults using optical coherence tomography angiography.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: To determine normal macular vessel density (VD) and foveal avascular zone (FAZ) values using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) analysis in healthy adults. SUBJECTS/METHODS: As part of the Prospective Epidemiological Research Studies in Iran (PERSIAN) Organizational Cohort study at Mashhad University of Medical Sciences (POCM), we conducted a cross-sectional study using 3 × 3 and 6 × 6 mm OCTA scans to evaluate the VD of the macular superficial capillary plexus (SCP), deep capillary plexus (DCP), and the FAZ area in healthy adults. RESULTS: The study included 792 participants, with a mean age of 39.8 ± 6.8 years. There were 359 males with a mean age of 39.9 ± 7.8 years and 440 females with a mean age of 39.4 ± 6 years. The mean values of various parameters were measured, including the right eye whole image SCP and DCP VDs, FAZ area, FAZ perimeter, and fovea VD in a 300 µm wide zone around FAZ (FD). These values were found to be 45.9 ± 2.6%, 50.2 ± 3%, 0.3 ± 0.1mm2, 2.1 ± 0.4 mm, and 50.4 ± 3.3%, respectively. Females and younger participants had significantly higher mean values of whole image SCP and DCP VDs. Additionally, all FAZ parameters had significantly higher values in females, while younger participants had significantly higher mean FD values. Simple linear regression analyses showed that age was negatively correlated with right eye SCP and DCP VDs. CONCLUSION: Our study established standard SCP and DCP VD values influenced by age and gender. Age correlates negatively with both, DCP VDs correlate negatively with height and weight, and SCP VDs correlate positively with diastolic blood pressure.

Optic nerve head alterations after COVID-19: an optical coherence tomography angiography-based longitudinal study.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate longitudinal changes in peripapillary vessel density (VD) following coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) using optical coherence tomography angiography. METHODS: As part of a prospective longitudinal observational study, we studied healthy individuals with a history of mild COVID-19 confirmed via real-time polymerase chain reaction. After recovery, we used the Optovue RTVue XR Avanti machine to perform optic nerve head (ONH) imaging. We also assessed the VD of all vessels and of small vessels in the disc and the radial peripapillary capillary (RPC) network at 1 and 3 months post-recovery. RESULTS: We included 17 patients (34 eyes; mean age: 36.9 ± 10.2 years, range: 24-62 years) who had recovered from COVID-19. No changes were observed in the ONH parameters. However, there was a noticeable trend of increased small vessel VD values in the RPC. These increases were significant for the peripapillary whole, superior hemifield, inferior-temporal, temporal-superior, and superior-temporal small vessels. Moreover, the evaluation of all vessel VD values in the RPC revealed a significant decrease in the inside disc and a significant increase in a grid-based inferior region. CONCLUSION: COVID-19 may affect VD of the RPC in the ONH, and should be considered in ONH evaluations.

Clinical characteristics and management outcome of acute infectious endophthalmitis.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the demographics, clinical characteristics, and management outcomes of patients with acute infectious endophthalmitis (AIE). METHODS: This retrospective chart review was conducted on all patients admitted with the clinical diagnosis of infectious endophthalmitis from 2017 to 2022. Demographic data, patients' clinical characteristics, the type of acute infectious endophthalmitis (post-operative, post-traumatic, bleb-associated, and endogenous endophthalmitis), the type of surgical procedure in the post-operative cases, the microbiologic analysis results of vitreous samples, therapeutic measures, and visual outcomes of patients were recorded. RESULTS: In this study, 182 participants, including 122 male (67%) and 60 (33%) female, were involved. The mean age of patients was 54.56 ± 21 years, with a range of 1-88 years old. The most prevalent type of AIE was post-operative (59.9%), followed by endogenous (19.2%), post-traumatic (17%), and bleb-associated (3.8%). The most common type of intraocular surgery in the post-operative subgroups of AIE patients was phacoemulsification (57.8%). The median (interquartile range) of the primary and final BCVA of patients was 1.5 (1.35, 1.85) and 0.65 (0.35, 1.35), respectively. Vitreous haziness grade (OR, 2.89; 95% CI, 1.11-5.74; p = 0.009) and the primary VA (OR, 60.34; 95% CI, 2.87-126.8; p = 0.008) revealed statistical significance for final vision loss. CONCLUSION: AIE is a devastating condition with poor visual outcomes, which presents with acute inflammatory signs and symptoms regardless of its type. However, prompt and appropriate treatment leads to visual recovery to a functional level in many patients.

Development, comparison, and internal validation of prediction models to determine the visual prognosis of patients with open globe injuries using machine learning approaches.

INTRODUCTION: Open globe injuries (OGI) represent a main preventable reason for blindness and visual impairment, particularly in developing countries. The goal of this study is evaluating key variables affecting the prognosis of open globe injuries and validating internally and comparing different machine learning models to estimate final visual acuity. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We reviewed three hundred patients with open globe injuries receiving treatment at Khatam-Al-Anbia Hospital in Iran from 2020 to 2022. Age, sex, type of trauma, initial VA grade, relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD), zone of trauma, traumatic cataract, traumatic optic neuropathy (TON), intraocular foreign body (IOFB), retinal detachment (RD), endophthalmitis, and ocular trauma score (OTS) grade were the input features. We calculated univariate and multivariate regression models to assess the association of different features with visual acuity (VA) outcomes. We predicted visual acuity using ten supervised machine learning algorithms including multinomial logistic regression (MLR), support vector machines (SVM), K-nearest neighbors (KNN), naïve bayes (NB), decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), bagging (BG), adaptive boosting (ADA), artificial neural networks (ANN), and extreme gradient boosting (XGB). Accuracy, positive predictive value (PPV), recall, F-score, brier score (BS), Matthew correlation coefficient (MCC), receiver operating characteristic (AUC-ROC), and calibration plot were used to assess how well machine learning algorithms performed in predicting the final VA. RESULTS: The artificial neural network (ANN) model had the best accuracy to predict the final VA. The sensitivity, F1 score, PPV, accuracy, and MCC of the ANN model were 0.81, 0.85, 0.89, 0.93, and 0.81, respectively. In addition, the estimated AUC-ROC and AUR-PRC of the ANN model for OGI patients were 0.96 and 0.91, respectively. The brier score and calibration log-loss for the ANN model was 0.201 and 0.232, respectively. CONCLUSION: As classic and ensemble ML models were compared, results shows that the ANN model was the best. As a result, the framework that has been presented may be regarded as a good substitute for predicting the final VA in OGI patients. Excellent predictive accuracy was shown by the open globe injury model developed in this study, which should be helpful to provide clinical advice to patients and making clinical decisions concerning the management of open globe injuries.

Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Aflibercept Biosimilar (P041) Compared with Originator Product in Patients with Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the noninferiority of biosimilar aflibercept (P041, CinnaGen) to the originator aflibercept (AFL, Regeneron) in terms of efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity. DESIGN: This was a phase Ш, 52-week, multicenter, randomized, double-masked, and active control trial involving eyes in a 1:1 ratio. SUBJECTS: Patients with active subfoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to age-related macular degeneration randomized into the 2 groups of P041 and AFL. METHODS: Patients received an injection of aflibercept every 4 weeks for 3 doses, followed by administration every 8 weeks up to week 48. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcome was the noninferiority analysis of eyes maintaining vision at week 52. Secondary outcomes included the changes in visual acuity and retinal thickness, safety evaluation, and immunogenicity during the study. RESULTS: In total, 168 eyes of 168 patients were included. At week 52, the proportion of patients maintaining vision was 94.44% in the P041 group compared with 94.52% in the AFL group. The 95% confidence interval (CI) for the difference of maintaining vision from baseline did not exceed the predefined noninferiority margin of 10% (difference, -0.0008; 95% CI, -0.074 to 0.074; P = 0.98). Secondary outcomes indicated similar results in both arms (all P > 0.05). Safety measured outcomes and immunogenicity were similar between the 2 study groups. CONCLUSIONS: Biosimilar aflibercept was noninferior to AFL in eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration. Other efficacy and safety findings also indicated the similarity of 2 products.

Fulminant endogenous endophthalmitis caused by Brucella melitensis, a case report.

Key Clinical Message: Ocular brucellosis is a potential cause of endogenous endophthalmitis in endemic areas, which can be associated with sight-threatening complications. Abstract: To report a patient with unusual fulminant endogenous endophthalmitis due to Brucella melitensis. A 25-year-old woman with a history of fever and right shoulder pain from 4 months ago and a positive Wright test presented with acute panuveitis in her right eye. All laboratory tests were unremarkable except for the positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test of the vitreous sample for B. melitensis. Despite the therapeutic efforts, including multiple vitreoretinal surgeries, and intravitreal and systemic antibiotics, the patient's final follow-up examination after 6 months revealed hand motion vision, hypotonia, and pre-phthisis bulbi status. The fellow eye was entirely normal. Brucella endogenous endophthalmitis can be fulminant and result in poor visual outcomes. It is suggested to consider ocular brucellosis as a potential cause of endogenous endophthalmitis in endemic areas.

Clinical characteristics and management outcomes of acute retinal necrosis.

This study investigates patient's clinical characteristics and management outcomes of PCR-positive Acute Retinal Necrosis (ARN). The patient's clinical characteristics of the disease, and therapeutic approaches were assessed. Data from the medical records of 40 eyes of 40 patients were analyzed. The mean ± standard deviation (SD) of the age of the patients was 47.8 ± 14.1 years (16-84 years old). The median follow-up time was 160 days, with a range of 120-370 days. The mean ± SD of patients' primary and final BCVA was 1.24 ± 0.78 and 1.08 ± 0.86 LogMAR, respectively. The final BCVA increased significantly after the treatment in the last follow-up period in patients who did not undergo PPV (p = 0.029). Although, vision changes were not statistically significant in patients who underwent PPV (p = 0.549). 75% of our patients had a positive aqueous PCR for VZV, and the second most common causative agents were CMV and HSV (10% for each). Besides, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) occurred in 25% of our patients. Our analysis showed that the presenting visual acuity and RRD occurrence are the significant prognostic factors for final blindness in ARN.

Traumatic crystallin lens dislocation is a common complication following open globe injuries. Wound repair, lensectomy, and prophylactic antibiotic administration are essentials in the management.

Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease with a unilateral presentation in a patient with marijuana overuse: Role of multimodal imaging in suspected patients.

Key Clinical Message: Harada disease could uniquely present with only unilateral symptoms, as was seen in our patient. However, multimodal imaging including ICG angiography could show bilateral involvement. Considering the immunomodulatory effects of Cannabis, the absence of inflammatory findings and the unusual presentation of the disease, in our case, may have been caused by the use of marijuana. Abstract: To report a patient addicted to marijuana with the diagnosis of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease with a unilateral presentation. A 24-year-old man presented to us with painless decreased vision in his right eye (RE) and photophobia 3 days ago. No history of significant family or past medical history was documented. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) of the RE showed multiple areas of subretinal fluid in the macula. Indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) revealed round hypocyanescent dark dots (HDD) of similar size, evenly distributed in both eyes. With the diagnosis of VKH disease, anti-inflammatory treatment was started. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of suspected VKH in a patient with marijuana overuse. Regarding the complex effects of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the active ingredient of marijuana, on the vascular and immune systems, reaching a definite conclusion is not possible. This report shows the value of multimodal imaging in patients with unusual presentations.

Hypertensive retinopathy and Purtscher-like retinopathy in a child with complement 3 glomerulopathy.

We report the case of a 15-year-old boy with hypertensive retinopathy and Purtscher-like retinopathy eventually diagnosed with complement 3 glomerulopathy (C3G). The patient presented with bilateral severe painless visual loss and posterior pole cotton wool spots, optic disk and macular edema, and macular star-shaped hard exudate depositions, arterial narrowing, and venous tortuosity, indicative of hypertensive retinopathy (with an initial blood pressure of 210/130 mm Hg) and Purtscher-like retinopathy. He was subsequently diagnosed with C3G based on results of a kidney biopsy. There was a mild visual improvement on follow-up examination, and optic disk swelling and subretinal fluid and cotton wool spots resolved.

Epidemiology and Clinical Course of Pediatric Uveitis in a Tertiary Referral Center in Northeastern Iran.

PURPOSE: To describe the distribution, clinical findings, treatment, complications, and visual outcomes of pediatric uveitis at a tertiary referral ophthalmic center. METHODS: The medical records of all patients ≤18 years diagnosed with and managed as uveitis from August 2016 to August 2021 were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS: Of the 97 patients, 52.6% were female, and the mean age at the onset was 10.5 ± 4.6 years (6 months to 18 years). Uveitis cases were predominantly anterior (33 [34%]), chronic (59 [60.8%]), bilateral (63 [64.9%]), and non-infectious (80 [82.5%]). A total of 36.1% (35 patients) of cases were idiopathic, and the most frequent systemic associations were juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), 16 [16.5%]) and Behcet's disease (15 [15.5%]). Most patients (74 [76.3%]) experienced ocular complications, including vasculitis (29 [29.9%]), posterior synechiae (23 [23.7%]), and cataracts (22 [22.7%]). Patients with uveitis of all anatomic locations experienced an improvement in best-corrected visual acuity during the follow-up period (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: The most prevalent systemic associations were JIA and Behcet's disease. Ocular Behcet is a common etiology of pediatric uveitis in northeastern Iran. A timely and appropriate treatment could result in satisfactory visual outcomes.

An intelligent decision support system for acute postoperative endophthalmitis: design, development and evaluation of a smartphone application.

BACKGROUND: Today, clinical decision support systems based on artificial intelligence can significantly help physicians in the correct diagnosis and quick rapid treatment of endophthalmitis as the most important cause of blindness in emergency diseases. This study aimed to design, develop, and evaluate an intelligent decision support system for acute postoperative endophthalmitis. METHODS: This study was conducted in 2020-2021 in three phases: analysis, design and development, and evaluation. The user needs and the features of the system were identified through interviews with end users. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The list of clinical signs of acute postoperative endophthalmitis was provided to ophthalmologists for prioritization. 4 algorithms support vector machine, decision tree classifier, k-nearest neighbors, and random forest were used in the design of the computing core of the system for disease diagnosis. The acute postoperative endophthalmitis diagnosis application was developed for using by physicians and patients. Based on the data of 60 acute postoperative endophthalmitis patients, 143 acute postoperative endophthalmitis records and 12 non-acute postoperative endophthalmitis records were identified. The learning process of the algorithm was performed on 70% of the data and 30% of the data was used for evaluation. RESULTS: The most important features of the application for physicians were selecting clinical signs and symptoms, predicting diagnosis based on artificial intelligence, physician-patient communication, selecting the appropriate treatment, and easy access to scientific resources. The results of the usability evaluation showed that the application was good with a mean (± SD) score of 7.73 ± 0.53 out of 10. CONCLUSION: A decision support system with accuracy, precision, sensitivity and specificity, negative predictive values, F-measure and area under precision-recall curve 100% was created thanks to widespread participation, the use of clinical specialists' experiences and their awareness of patients' needs, as well as the availability of a comprehensive acute postoperative endophthalmitis clinical dataset.

Uveitis including Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome following inactive covid-19 vaccination: a case series.

BACKGROUND: Currently, large populations have been vaccinated against COVID-19. The whole inactivated Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccine has been the main available COVID-19 vaccine in Iran. Ocular inflammatory reactions have been reported following vaccination. The present case reports aim to introduce four cases of uveitis after the Sinopharm vaccine administration. CASE PRESENTATION: Our first reported case is a 38-year-old woman with a positive medical history of inactive ulcerative colitis. Active uveitis had developed following the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccination. The remaining three cases were healthy individuals who developed the first episode of uveitis, after the COVID-19 vaccine administration. Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome was the final diagnosis in one of the aforementioned cases. All four patients demonstrated favorable responses to corticosteroid treatment. CONCLUSION: These observations are in line with incoming reports from all around the world and raise concerns about the possibility of post-vaccination uveitis development, especially in cases with a previous history of auto-immune systemic diseases or inactive uveitis.

Developing an Echocardiography-Based, Automatic Deep Learning Framework for the Differentiation of Increased Left Ventricular Wall Thickness Etiologies.

AIMS: Increased left ventricular (LV) wall thickness is frequently encountered in transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). While accurate and early diagnosis is clinically important, given the differences in available therapeutic options and prognosis, an extensive workup is often required to establish the diagnosis. We propose the first echo-based, automated deep learning model with a fusion architecture to facilitate the evaluation and diagnosis of increased left ventricular (LV) wall thickness. METHODS AND RESULTS: Patients with an established diagnosis of increased LV wall thickness (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), cardiac amyloidosis (CA), and hypertensive heart disease (HTN)/others) between 1/2015 and 11/2019 at Mayo Clinic Arizona were identified. The cohort was divided into 80%/10%/10% for training, validation, and testing sets, respectively. Six baseline TTE views were used to optimize a pre-trained InceptionResnetV2 model. Each model output was used to train a meta-learner under a fusion architecture. Model performance was assessed by multiclass area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). A total of 586 patients were used for the final analysis (194 HCM, 201 CA, and 191 HTN/others). The mean age was 55.0 years, and 57.8% were male. Among the individual view-dependent models, the apical 4-chamber model had the best performance (AUROC: HCM: 0.94, CA: 0.73, and HTN/other: 0.87). The final fusion model outperformed all the view-dependent models (AUROC: HCM: 0.93, CA: 0.90, and HTN/other: 0.92). CONCLUSION: The echo-based InceptionResnetV2 fusion model can accurately classify the main etiologies of increased LV wall thickness and can facilitate the process of diagnosis and workup.

Subfoveal choroidal thickness following pars plana vitrectomy in tractional diabetic macular edema.

PURPOSE: To evaluate changes in subfoveal choroidal thickness (SCT) in cases of tractional diabetic macular edema (DME) after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). METHODS: This prospective study included 31 eyes of 31 patients who underwent PPV for the management of tractional DME. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), SCT, and central macular thickness (CMT) were measured before the operation, as well as one, three, and six months following the surgery in the operated eyes and at baseline, as well as six months in the fellow eyes. RESULTS: The SCT decline in eyes with tractional DME was statistically significant six months postoperatively (P = 0.009). A statistically significant decline was observed in the CMT values one, three, and six months postoperatively in eyes with tractional DME (P = 0.02, P < 0.001, and P < 0.001, respectively). There was a statistically significant improvement in the visual acuity of the affected eyes three (P = 0.047) and six months (P = 0.017) postoperatively. CONCLUSION: After PPV for the treatment of tractional DME, a statistically significant decrease in the CMT values is detectable from the first month after surgery, followed by the improvement of BCVA from the third month. It is worth mentioning that a decrease was found in the SCT six months postoperatively.

Response to Comments on 'Acute Bilateral Neuroretinitis and Panuveitis in A Patient with Coronavirus Disease 2019: A Case Report'.

PURPOSE: to respond to comments on our case report on COVID associated neuroretititis. METHODS: We gathered up to date statistics about the prevalence and incidence of epidemic retinitis in Iran and specifically our region, north-east of Iran. RESULTS: Our response to Kawal et al comments includes 3 items. First, the PCR result of the vitreous specimen was positive for COVID-19. Secondly, the clinical course of the patient's illness was typically similar to our numerous COVID patients and we were in the middle of the second peak of COVID at the time. Thirdly, although other causes of epidemic retinitis such as west nile river are relatively rare in our region, we had a significant rise in the incidence of epidemic retinitis in the peak of COVID. So, the most probable cause may be COVID-19. CONCLUSION: Although the ocular findings of our patient was similar to epidemic retinitis caused by other well-known organisms, we believe that based on positive vitreous sample PCR for COVID, typical clinical course of systemic illness, being in the peak of COVID pandemic with significant increase of similar patients during this period, our patient had COVID associated neuroretinitis/ epidemic retinitis.

Acute effects of coffee consumption on the microcirculation of macula and optic nerve head.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the acute changes in retinal vasculature following coffee consumption. Methods: This is an interventional case series. The subjects were 22 healthy young adults. They were asked to rest in a silent room for 15 min; then, their heart rate, blood pressure, and arterial oxygen saturation pressure were measured with a single patient monitoring system. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCT-A) imaging of the disc and macula were performed for both eyes of the subjects. These measurements were repeated 45 min after drinking a cup of 450 ml of coffee containing a standard dose of 130 mg of caffeine. Macular and optic nerve head neurovasculature changes were assessed. Results: The results of our study did not show a significant change in peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and neural structural and vascular parameters of the optic nerve head. Although assessments of macular vasculature showed a significant decrement in superficial (p = 0.01) and deep vessel density (p = 0.05) at parafovea, vessel densities (VDs) at the fovea, and deep capillary plexus at perifovea showed no significant change. Conclusion: Consuming one cup of coffee (150 mg caffeine) statistically changes central foveal thickness and parafoveal blood flow but likely does not have a clinical impact in healthy young adults.

Acute retinal necrosis. Management and visual outcomes: a case series.

BACKGROUND: The present study reports the functional and anatomical outcomes of eyes with acute retinal necrosis(ARN). METHODS: This is a retrospective case series conducted at a tertiary Eye Hospital from March 2015 to March 2020. Medical records of patients with clinical and laboratorial-Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)-diagnosis of ARN were reviewed. To identify factors related to the outcomes of visual acuity(VA) and retinal detachment (RD) over time, Cox proportional hazards regression modeling and survival analyses were used. RESULTS: Twenty-three eyes of 23 patients (16 male, 7 female) were reviewed. Based on the PCR results, 16 cases (69.6%) had Varicella zoster virus, 3 cases (13%) had Cytomegalovirus, 1 patient (4.3%) had Herpes simplex virus associated ARN, and 1 case (4.3%) had negative PCR. The incident rate for ≥ 2-line VA gain was 0.28/eye-year (EY) (95% CI 0.21 ± 0.26) while the rate of severe vision loss was 0.09/eye-year (95% CI 0.05 ± 0.08). The RD development was observed at a rate of 0.43/eye-year (0.42 ± 0.02), which occurred in 9 eyes with a mean time of 100 days after the initial presentation of ARN. Patients' age was the only factor associated with 2-line or more gain in VA over time with a hazard ratio of 0.921 (95% CI 0.854-0.993, P = 0.032). CONCLUSIONS: Generally, although being crucial, treatment is not highly effective in improvement of VA and decrease of RD development, as well as vision loss, in patients with ARN. However, treatment prevents fellow eye involvement efficiently. Younger age is associated with better response to treatment and more chance to achieve better VA.

Intraocular lymphoma masquerading as unilateral hypopyon anterior uveitis: a case report.

PURPOSE: To report an unusual case of unilateral anterior segment large B-cell intraocular lymphoma (IOL) presenting as a recurrent hypopyon anterior uveitis. CASE PRESENTATION: A 55-year-old female was referred because of recurrent unilateral anterior hypopyon uveitis with partial response to topical corticosteroid. All of the laboratory tests, review of systems and ocular sampling results were unremarkable. Given a high concern for masquerades syndromes, cytological specimens were obtained 3 times and the last sample showed large B cell lymphoma. First, it appeared confined to the eye and initially responded favorably to local chemotherapy (methotrexate and rituximab) but later went on to develop systemic involvement. CNS lymphoma was detected on the third brain MRI 6 months following ocular involvement. At this time, systemic chemotherapy was started. In the last 18 months' follow-up, visual acuity was 20/30 in the right eye without posterior segment or fellow eye involvement. CONCLUSION: Unusual presentation of intraocular lymphoma as a unilateral isolated anterior hypopyon uveitis should be kept in mind. This report emphasizes the importance of precise work-ups and multiple ocular biopsies to confirm the diagnosis of intraocular lymphoma.
