Bilateral papilledema associated with retinal hemorrhagic appearance as earliest sign of spinal cord tumor

Federico Giannuzzi

A 57-year-old obese patient admitted to our ophthalmic department complaining of bilateral sense of eye swelling and mild blurring vision. The anterior segment and pupillary reflex were normal on ophthalmological testing. Likewise, eye movements were preserved and she did not report diplopia in any position of gaze. Dilated fundus examination revealed bilateral hemorrhagic papilledema, pre-retinal hemorrhages in both eyes, dot and blot hemorrhages in the peripheral retina. Visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes. Routine hematological investigations revealed increased both Von Willebrand factor and ristocetin factor and LAC positivity. The lumbar puncture (LP) showed elevated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteins. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with contrast of brain and spinal cord showed signs of intracranial hypertension and the presence of two lesions in continuity with each other respectively located at T12-L1 and L1-L2. Radiologic features were compatible with the diagnosis of ependymoma. A surgical procedure was conducted and confirmed the diagnosis after anatomical pathology analysis.

Isolated Foveal Hypoplasia

Ilkay Kilic Muftuoglu

A-60-year-old female patient without remarkable ocular and/ or systemic history referred for a routine eye examination. Best corrected visual acuties were 20/25 in both eyes. SD-OCT scan cutting through the center revealed lack of foveal pit. In OCT-A slabs, FAZ was not appreciated at superficial and deep capillary plexus levels. She was diagnosed as isolated foveal hypoplasia.

We report the case of an uncomplicated choroidal osteoma in a 27-year-old woman, with no medical history, presented to our department with sudden onset visual loss in her right eye (RE). Opthalmological evaluation revealed a best corrected visual acuity of 4/10 and normal anterior segment in the RE. Fundus examination revealed a slightly elevated, round shaped, yellowish-orange coloured lesion. Choroidal osteoma is a rare and benign ossifying tumor, affecting mostly Caucasian females, in early twenties. This affection is often unilateral, occurring in an apparently healthy eye. It is generally located in juxta or peri-papillary areas. Diagnosis is based on clinical examination, aided by multimodal imaging, including optical coherence tomography (OCT), OCT-angiography and ultrasonography. Choroidal neovascularisation represents its main complication.

Bilateral Candida albicans chorioretinitis

Andrea Saitta

A case of an immunocompromised 30-year-old woman with bilateral Candida albicans chorioretinitis. (A) In the right eye structural OCT shows a highly reflective lesion involving the full-thickness retina and protruding into the vitreous. The hyperreflective dots in the posterior vitreous are infiltrating inflammatory cell. (B) In the left eye structural OCT shows two juxtapapillary lesions originating at the retinal pigment epithelium/choroid layer and penetrating into the neurosensory retina. Subretinal fluid is present. The hyperreflective dots in the posterior vitreous are infiltrating inflammatory cell.

Syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinitis

Daniela Bacherini Giovanni Romualdi Fabrizio Giansanti

A case of 49 y.o. man, caucasian, with no history of drugs and systemic disease, referred to our emergency room due to a sudden para central scotoma in his left eye. Our multimodal imaging allowed us to diagnose a syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinitis, confirmed few days later with serological exams (qualitative TPHA +).
