Spontaneous retinal reattachment and novel vitreoretinal phenotype in muscle eye brain disease determined by fundus multimodal imaging.

IntroductionMuscle eye brain disease (MEB) is a rare, multi-systemic autosomal recessively inherited disorder of relevance to ophthalmologists. The aim of this report is to describe a novel ocular phenotype for a genetically confirmed MEB patient using retinal multi-modal imaging.Case descriptionWe report a case of 18-year-old male patient that was referred to our tertiary unit for management of retinal detachment.

DEXAMETHASONE IMPLANT VERSUS TOPICAL CARBONIC ANHYDRASE INHIBITORS IN PATIENTS WITH BILATERAL RETINITIS PIGMENTOSA-RELATED CYSTOID MACULAR EDEMA: A Prospective, Paired-Eye Pilot Study.

Purpose: To compare within-subject efficacy and safety of intravitreal dexamethasone implant and topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitors in the treatment of retinitis pigmentosa-related cystoid macular edema.

Methods: Patients with bilateral retinitis pigmentosa-related cystoid macular edema were treated with intravitreal dexamethasone implant in one eye and topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitors in the contralateral eye. The primary endpoint was a change in central macular thickness.

Data on the differentiation among () spp., () and () in Brazilian clinical samples using real-time PCR.

This article contains the data regarding species identification in human and canine clinical samples from a Brazilian region endemic for () spp., () and () , using a previously developed approach involving two qPCR assays (qPCR-ML and qPCR-ama). The data are related to the article "Real-time PCR to differentiate among () subgenus, () and () : application on Brazilian clinical samples" [1], and include also details of clinical evaluation/diagnosis of human patients and primer sequences used in the qPCR assays.
