Orbital tumor recurrence is a rare but serious complication in children with retinoblastoma, leading to a high risk of metastasis and death. Therefore, we assume that these recurrences have to be detected and treated as early as possible. Preliminary studies used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to evaluate postsurgical findings in the orbit. In this study, we assessed the diagnostic accuracy of high-resolution MRI to detect orbital tumor recurrence in children with retinoblastoma in a large study cohort.
To study the characteristics of subfoveal abnormalities secondary to idiopathic epiretinal membranes (ERM) using improved-resolution spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD OCT) and their evolution after surgery.
To investigate the relationship between the microstructure of β-zone peripapillary atrophy (PPA) and the subsequent visual field (VF) progression in eyes with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), including highly myopic eyes.
To describe dendritiform keratopathy associated with exposure to polyquaternium-1, a common preservative found in contact lens solutions and tear replacement products.
The prevalence of myopia is rapidly increasing worldwide.1 High myopia, a severe form of myopia, is strongly associated with various ocular complications, among which foveal retinoschisis, foveal retinal detachment (RD), and macular hole (MH) are partly caused by vitreous traction, and these 3 conditions are known as myopic traction maculopathy (MTM).2 Recently, we developed a quantitative analysis method to measure the local curvature of Bruch's membrane using optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans.
To evaluate the risk of and risk factors for retinal neovascularization (NV) in cases of uveitis.
