Detection of circulating tumor cells in patients with small choroidal melanocytic lesions

1402-06-02 in /by

This article discusses the detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in patients with small choroidal melanocytic lesions. Choroidal melanoma is a type of cancer that affects the eye, and early detection is crucial for improving patient outcomes. Currently, the primary method for diagnosing choroidal melanoma is through a biopsy, which involves taking a tissue sample. […]

Increased risk of glaucoma development in patients with central serous chorioretinopathy: results of a 11-year population-based cohort study

1402-06-02 in /by

Purpose: To investigate whether patients with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) have increased risk of developing glaucoma. Methods: Patients diagnosed with CSC between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2018 were included in this study using data from the Taiwanese National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD). The CSC cohort was matched with a non-CSC cohort using the propensity […]

Peripapillary Hyperreflective Ovoid Mass-Like Structures (PHOMS)

1402-06-02 in /by

Introduction Peripapillary Hyperreflective Ovoid Mass-Like Structures (PHOMS) are homogenous rounded structures, recently described in latest studies regarding Optic Nerve Head (ONH) evaluation. They were traditionally considered as a subtype of Optic Disc Drusen (ODD). However, the Optic Disc Drusen Studies (ODDS) Consortium, a group of fellowship trained neuroophthalmologists and researchers, ellaborated a recent work using […]
