Sectoral retinitis pigmentosa

Sectoral retinitis pigmentosa is an autosomal dominant and usually associated with acceptable visual acuity. 

The fundus examination shows pigment clumps and chorioretinal atrophy only in sectoral with almost normal optic disc configuration and vessel diameter.

Perimetry will show scotoma corresponding to the dispersion of pigmentary clumps.

OCT shows outer retinal degeneration and RPE thining in the area of pigmentary clumps.

    Really This goes far beyond the commenting! It wrote his thoughts while reading the article amazingly :) Scintillating Scotoma gif

    This was a kind of informative post about sectoral retinitis pigmentosa, and I really do appreciate it. I liked how you explained the condition in a clear and easy to understand way even when it gets a bit detailed, especially what it means for vision and why early diagnosis matters so much. Stuff like this is valuable, not just for patients but also for students, and honestly anyone doing related healthcare research may find Nursing Dissertation Help useful too, since it can help explore the topic in a deeper, more practical way.

    I was reading sectoral retinitis pigmentosa and it was interesting to learn about a condition that many people may not even know exists. Reading detailed topics like this reminds me how much research and careful understanding students need in academic work. During busy semesters many students look for academic assignment help services provider while trying to balance coursework and deadlines. It really shows how important good planning and study support can be when academic pressure starts increasing.

Von Hippel-Lindau

Von Hippel-Lindau in a young female, BCVA, is CF in her left eye. Findings are normal, and BCVA is 20/20. Drop a comment below 👇 telling how would you approach and manage this case ?! I would perform intravitreal AntiVEGF combined with laser treatment. Fundus image showing Von Hipple-Lindau

Cellophane maculopathy

Caused by an epiretinal membrane, clinically, it appears as a sheen abnormal foveal reflex which features epiretinal membrane, due to inflammatory mediators and proliferation of glial cells secondary to a partial separation of posterior cortical vitreous. Fundus image shows cellophane maculopathy OCT features a hyperreflective band covering the inner retinal layers, causing minimal disturbance of inner retinal tissues. OCT cross-section shows epiretinal membrane  Cellophane maculopathy itself in individuals with good visual acuity may not need any interventions, but it is warranted to do a detailed peripheral retinal exam to rule out retinal tear or hole However, an epiretinal membrane may proliferate further and cause additional tangential traction. Thus, it may induce macular pucker or lamellar/pseudo hole and increase disturbance of inner retinal tissues, macular thickness, and reduction of vision. These patients may require pars plana vitrectomy to remove the epiretinal membran...

Adult-onset vitelliform macular dystrophy

One of the most common pattern dystrophies similar to best occurs in adulthood, as it appears as oval or yellowish macular material, originated from the debris of photoreceptors, or the RPE phagocytosis failure. Fundus image showing Adult-onset vitelliform macular dystrophy  On OCT, it appears as subretinal vitelliform material accumulation but above the RPE with intact ellipsoid zone and thus explains good visual acuity without an increase in retinal thickness. OCT cross-section showing Adult-onset vitelliform macular dystrophy Fluorescein angiography typically shows hypo-fluorescence at the area of vitelliform accumulation surrounded with hyper-fluorescence increases intensity in late phases; however, it may show liner, patchy, or ring-like, which is inconsistent with visual acuity. Adult-onset vitelliform macular dystrophy itself does not warrant any treatment; however, a regular follow up to monitor any progression to choroidal neovascularization. How would you approa...
