RESUMO
PURPOSE: Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is a common retinopathy that is often observed until resolution. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on timing of CSCR recovery. METHODS: An IRB-approved retrospective review was conducted on patients that had been diagnosed with a new-onset, symptomatic case of CSCR. Patients were either observed only (13 untreated eyes) or treated with topical bromfenac or nepafenac (14 eyes) over an average of about a 4-5 week follow-up period. RESULTS: There was no statistical significance between central macular thickness (CMT) and visual acuity of treatment and control groups at the initial presentation. However, at the follow-up visit, CMT reductions in the treatment group were significantly higher than in the control group (p<0.006). CONCLUSION: Use of topical NSAIDs in the treatment of acute CSCR leads to a faster rate of reduction in the subretinal fluid volume over a follow-up period of a few weeks.

The authors present a case of congenital pupillary-iris-lens membrane with goniodysgenesis, a unilateral, sporadic, and congenital anomaly with the presence of a vascularized pupillary membrane on the iris surface that further adheres to the posterior embryotoxon. Early diagnosis and treatment is vital to prevent complications such as amblyopia and glaucoma.

This case report describes a 23-day-old infant with significant infarct in the right middle cerebral artery territory associated with intraparenchymal hemorrhage within the infarct, subdural hygroma, and bilateral intraocular hemorrhage. The features, severity, and timing of the pathology are suggestive of Terson syndrome that has occurred during the peripartum period.
