This case series includes three consecutive cases who presented with retinal detachment (RD) in acquired retinoschisis due to giant outer lamellar tears. Preoperative widefield optical coherence tomography (WF-OCT) was used for diagnosis and intra-operative optical coherence tomography (iOCT) was used to confirm the ex …

Subfoveal pigment epithelial detachments (PEDs) have been reported to develop full-thickness macular hole (FTMH). The response to treatment has been varied in different reports, with most cases having persistent PED even after successful surgical closure of the macular hole. Here, we report an unusual case of nonneovas …

Characteristic features of Noonan syndrome include dysmorphic facies, short stature, and congenital cardiac defects. Pathogenic variants in PTPN11 are one of the common causes and may result in optic nerve head anomalies. We describe the optic nerve findings in two families with Noonan syndrome due to pathogenic varian …
