    Abstract Purpose: To report a case of unilateral cytomegalovirus (CMV) panuveitis with occlusive vasculitis following injection of intravitreal dexamethasone implant in a patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
    Methods: Observational case report.
    Results: A 60-year-old immunocompetent male with well-controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus was treated with intravitreal dexamethasone implant for recurrent uveitis that was responsive to steroids. 3 months after implantation, patient develops panuveitis with occlusive vasculitis. Anterior chamber tap confirms diagnosis of cytomegalovirus retinitis. Intravitreal foscarnet and oral valganciclovir led to quiescent disease.
    Conclusions: Patients treated with local immunosuppressants should be monitored carefully to assess treatment response and complications, even in the absence of frank immunodeficiency. Quantitative viral PCR can be an effective way to monitor treatment response to antiviral therapy.

    Abstract Proliferative vitreoretinopathy is a disease process that follows the proliferation of ectopic cell sheets in the vitreous and/or periretinal area, causing periretinal membrane formation and traction, in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachments. Currently, vitreous surgery is the standard treatment; however, the results aren't satisfactory given the vision loss that ensues and that redetachment is relatively common. It is becoming clearer that there exists an interplay between various cytokines/growth factors, matrix proteins, and the different cell types that drive the undesirable formation of periretinal membranes. This fundamental understanding is aiding in identifying different adjunct agents that can block the cellular events intrinsic to proliferative vitreoretinopathy. In this review, we describe the current understanding on the pathogenesis and discuss how the fundamental understanding of the biochemical/molecular events is instrumental in developing the novel treatment strategies that are also highlighted.

    Abstract Choroidal metastasis represents the most common form of intraocular malignancies. It may occur in up to 10% of patients with systemic metastasis with almost half of the patients developing central nervous system disease. The most common primary sites of ocular metastasis are breast cancer in women and lung cancer in men. In most cases, these lesions tend to be asymptomatic and are not evaluated by an ophthalmologist. The diagnosis is generally made by the history of present or prior malignancies and an ophthalmological examination with slit-lamp biomicroscopy and indirect ophthalmoscopy. As with other malignancies, management may vary with each patient. Small tumors, that do not compromise the vision and that have responded previously to systemic treatment, may be closely observed. For larger lesions and for symptomatic ones, external beam radiation offers an excellent alternative to save the eye and stabilize vision. Bevacizumab (Avastin), a potent monoclonal antibody that has also been employed for the treatment of ocular vaso-proliferative diseases, has been used in the treatment of choroidal metastasis and has shown promising results.

    Abstract Experimental uveitis models were developed in an effort to elucidate the pathogenesis of human uveitis. The therapeutic effects of numerous anti-inflammatory agents including corticosteroids and immunomodulatory agents including biologic response modifiers have been investigated in both experimental and human uveitis. Monoclonal antibodies to tumor necrosis factor alpha and anti-interleukins, among others, demonstrate efficacy and are employed in the treatment of uveitis refractory to conventional immunomodulatory agents.
