Retinal pigment epithelial tear after intravitreal bevacizumab injection.

PURPOSE: To report two cases of a retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) tear after intravitreal bevacizumab injection for exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD). DESIGN: Observational case series. METHODS: Two patients presented with occult choroidal neovascularization secondary to AMD. Both patients received intravitreal bevacizumab injections. RESULTS: The first patient developed a RPE tear shortly after a third intravitreal bevacizumab injection. The second patient developed a RPE tear 10 days after a second intravitreal bevacizumab injection. CONCLUSIONS: Although RPE tears may occur spontaneously as part of the natural history of exudative AMD, patients may develop visually devastating RPE tears after repeat intravitreal bevacizumab injection. Further studies are needed to determine the incidence of RPE tears after intravitreal bevacizumab injections.

Bone from an orbital floor fracture causing an intraocular foreign body.

PURPOSE: To describe the ophthalmoscopic and radiologic findings of a patient who sustained blunt orbital trauma. A piece of bone from the fractured orbital wall caused an intraocular foreign body. DESIGN: Case report. METHODS: An 18-year-old man underwent full ophthalmoscopic examination 1 week after sustaining blunt ocular trauma to the right eye while playing basketball. B-scan ultrasonography and computed tomography of the orbits were also performed. RESULTS: Visual acuity, intraocular pressure, and anterior segment examination were normal. Funduscopic examination revealed a fragment of bone that had penetrated the sclera, choroid, and retina. A hole in the sclera was visible. No treatment was performed. Three months later, the patient had no ocular complaints or complications as a result of this injury. CONCLUSION: Bone from a patient's orbit may cause an intraocular foreign body that may be followed conservatively in certain circumstances.

Optical coherence tomography of chronic solar retinopathy.

PURPOSE: To describe the optical coherence tomographic findings in eight eyes of four patients with chronic solar retinopathy. All patients had a history of sun gazing months to years prior to presentation. DESIGN: Retrospective case series. METHODS: Patients were examined using biomicroscopy performed by two or more experienced vitreoretinal specialists. All eight eyes had optical coherence tomography performed at the time of initial examination. RESULTS: All patients had a history of sun gazing and decreased vision in both eyes. On biomicroscopy, all eyes had a small, irregularly-shaped lamellar defect in the foveal center. No posterior vitreous detachment was present in any eye. Optical coherence tomography revealed a hyporeflective space at the level of the outer neurosensory retina and retinal pigment epithelium in all eyes. CONCLUSION: Optical coherence tomography demonstrates a characteristic hyporeflective space in the outer retina in patients with chronic solar retinopathy. These findings correlate with the histopathology of this condition and may be a useful clinical tool in confirming its diagnosis.
