Retrospective long-term surgical results of internal limiting membrane-sparing vitrectomy for pediatric optic disc pit maculopathy.

Background: Pediatric optic disc pit maculopathy (ODPM) is a rare condition that threatens children's visual development. Current treatments, such as pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling, are effective but controversial in pediatric cases due to potential complications. The efficacy and safety of ILM-sparing vitrectomy in pediatric ODPM patients remain underexplored.

SURGICAL OUTCOMES OF TRACTIONAL MACULOPATHY ASSOCIATED WITH FAMILIAL EXUDATIVE VITREORETINOPATHY IN CHILDREN.

Purpose: To evaluate the surgical outcomes of pediatric familial exudative vitreoretinopathy complicated by tractional maculopathy.

Methods: Retrospective case series. Chart review of 14 children (15 eyes) diagnosed with tractional maculopathy-complicated familial exudative vitreoretinopathy who received vitrectomy.

Retinal honeycomb appearance and its role in patients with X-linked retinoschisis.

Background: To investigate the clinical characteristics of retinal honeycomb appearance in a large cohort of patients with X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) and to determine whether it is associated with complications like retinal detachment (RD) and vitreous hemorrhage (VH).

Methods: A retrospective observational case series. A chart review of medical records, wide-field fundus imaging, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) was performed on 78 patients (153 eyes) diagnosed with XLRS at Beijing Tongren eye center between Dec 2017 and Feb 2022.

Novel transscleral sutureless subretinal fluid drainage using a 25-gauge trocar-cannula with a self-closing valve in patients with advanced Coats disease.

Aim: To assess surgical outcomes of a novel method of transscleral drainage of subretinal fluid using a 25-gauge trocar-cannula with a self-closing valve (DTV) in patients with severe exudative retinal detachment (ERD) in Coats disease.

Methods: Retrospective consecutive cases of 20 patients (20 eyes) of severe ERD due to Coats disease (stage 3B) in total 156 Coats patients between June 2015 and April 2019 were included in this study. The participants were aged 1 to 10y with a mean age of 3.

Outcomes of secondary sulcus intraocular lens implantation in unilateral anterior persistent fetal vasculature.

Aim: To evaluate the surgical results of sulcus intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in children with unilateral anterior persistent fetal vasculature (PFV) underwent primary vitrectomy combined with lensectomy and preservation of the peripheral anterior capsule.

Methods: Twenty-two eyes of 22 children with unilateral anterior PFV who underwent sulcus secondary IOL implantation were analyzed. Main outcome measures were preoperative and postoperative visual acuity, and complications both intraoperatively and postoperatively.

The role of intravitreal ranubizumab in the treatment of familial exudative vitreoretinopathy of stage 2 or greater.

Aim: To evaluate the role of intravitreal ranubizumab (IVR) in the treatment of familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) of stage 2 or greater either as primary or an ajunct to conventional treatments.

Methods: Retrospective, non-controlled clinical study. Thirty patients (37 eyes) diagnosed with FEVR were enrolled.
