    Cancer-associated retinopathy and its clinical features; [Kanser ilişkili retinopati ve klinik özellikleri]
    (Gazi Eye Foundation, 2017) Ayhan Z.; Ünlü B.; Seymenoǧlu G.; Saatçi A.O.
    Purpose: To report the clinical features of a case with cancer-related retinopathy and review the disease. Method: Retrospective case report. Results: A 65-year-old woman was presented to us with a history of bilateral gradual vision deterioration and nyctalopia for three months'duration. She was previously diagnosed to have a neuroendocrine tumor in 2008 and received a multitude of systemic therapies including surgical resection, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. On examination, her best-corrected visual acuity was 0.3 with normal anterior segment and normal looking posterior pole OU. Bilateral peripheral consantric narrowing was present at the visual field test and depressed scotopic responses was revealed at the ERG test. The diagnosis was cancer-associated retinopathy. Unfortunately, she died in three months time due to multiple metastasis. Conclusion: Cancer-associated retinopathy should be considered in differential diagnosis of patients presenting with progressive vision loss and nyctalopia. © 2017 Gazi Eye Foundation.

    Efficacy of topical brinzolamide treatment in posterior microphthalmos-related macular cystoid lesions: A case series
    (Turkish Ophthalmology Society, 2020) Engin C.D.; Ekinci U.B.; Selver A.; Saatçi A.O.
    The aim of this study was to report the outcome of topical brinzolamide 1% treatment on macular cystoid lesions resembling retinoschisis in 4 patients diagnosed with posterior microphthalmia. The medical records of 4 patients with a clinical diagnosis of posterior microphthalmia who had started topical brinzolamide 1% treatment were reviewed. Visual acuity, central foveal thickness, and cystoid lesion area percentage were used to evaluate treatment response. In the follow-up, there was a decrease in central foveal thicknesses and cystoid lesion area percentages in both eyes of 3 of the patients. However, 1 patient showed increases in both parameters. Visual acuity remained stable in 5 eyes and increased in 3 eyes. Topical brinzolamide treatment may have some positive effects on macular cystoid lesions in selected cases. © 2020 by Turkish Ophthalmological Association Turkish Journal of Ophthalmology, published by Galenos Publishing House.
