Retrospective analysis of preoperative videokeratographyindicated the existence of high posterior corneal elevation.Conclusion: This article is the first case report of a bilateral corneal ectasia after PRK for low myopia in patients withnormal placido topography. Even if there is no direct proof to demonstrate whether posterior corneal elevation orthin cornea was the risk factor responsible for the evolution of keratoconus, the safety of the PRK procedure inpatients with isolated posterior elevation must be considered.}, keywords = {Ectasia,PRP,Keratoplasty}, url = {https://jors.journals.ekb.eg/article_28320.html}, eprint = {https://jors.journals.ekb.eg/article_28320_17aa62a829c400111ce90286c3845896.pdf} } @article { author = {TP, Vignesh and Kohli, Piyush and Kumar, Jayant and Shah, Vedang}, title = {MANAGEMENT OF PAPILLARY RETINAL CAPILLARY HEMANGIOMAS - CASE REPORT AND REVIEW OF LITERATURE}, journal = {Journal of Ophthalmology and Related Sciences}, volume = {3}, number = {1}, pages = {6-9}, year = {2019}, publisher = {Research Institute of Ophthalmology}, issn = {2090-9047}, eissn = {2536-9466}, doi = {10.21608/jors.2019.28321}, abstract = {Background: Retinal capillary hemangiomas (RCH) are rare, benign, vascular tumours characterized by capillary andglial cell proliferation. We report the management of a patient with a unilateral endophytic papillary RCH withexudations and serous retinal detachment.Methods: Case reportResults: A 46-year old female presented with papillary RCH without association with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome.She was given two doses of intravitreal bevacizumab following which the serous detachment resolved. When theedema recurred again, she was given a dose of 4mg intravitreal triamcinolone acetate. The edema resolved and didnot recur till the end of three months. She was given the option of photodynamic therapy, however, she did notconsent for the procedure due to the high costs involved.Conclusion: Intravitreal injections can be used as a temporary remedy for the treatment of macular edema causedby RCH. However, currently there is no ideal definitive treatment available for papillary RCH.

OCT imaging at baseline and at 2 and 4 years follow up did not reveal any changein the retinal structures. A focal excavation of the choroid along with a small subretinal cleft was also seen. Fundusautofluorescence imaging exhibits a central hypofluorescence along with a hyperfluorescent border corresponding tothe lesion. OCTA segmentation of the choriocapillaris vasculature showed increased density of the choroidalvasculature suggestive of its role in the pathogenesis of this lesion.
