    Abstract Endogenous Candida endophthalmitis (ECE) has been established with microscopic histopathology, both by autopsy and experimentation, to primarily originate from and involve the choroid. Zhuang et al. examined a series of patients with ECE using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) imaging and present a new classification scheme. The authors conclude the majority of lesions are primarily retinal in location without report of choroidal involvement. This discrepancy may be explained by posterior shadowing artifact and lack of discernment from associated retinal findings like infarction. These considerations are necessary in reviewing SD-OCT, characterizing ECE, and proposing new classification systems.

Fundus examination and multimodal imaging revealed blunted foveal reflexes and optical gap with subfoveal ellipsoid zone loss in both eyes, right greater than left. Full field electroretinography results were within normal limits while the Arden ratio on electro-oculography was abnormal in both eyes, right more so than left.

    Abstract Purpose: To analyze intravitreal antifungal injections performed at a tertiary center to determine (1) risk factors increasing fungal endophthalmitis likelihood at the time of patient presentation, (2) prognostic factors at presentation, and (3) validity of American Academy of Ophthalmology (Academy) ophthalmologic Candida septicemia (candidemia) screening guidelines.
    Design: Single-center, retrospective clinical case-control study.
    Methods: Clinical course, visual outcome, and final diagnosis were analyzed for 75 patients (81 eyes) receiving intravitreal antifungal injections between 2014 and 2021. Features were compared between fungal endophthalmitis and clinically similar diseases (masquerades).
    Results: Fungal endophthalmitis was more likely than masquerade based on injection in emergency department or inpatient setting (P = .0002) vs outpatient, greater visual acuity (P = .049), artificial indwelling line present (P = .0004), sepsis within past 6 months (P = .0002), prior/current hepatitis C diagnosis (P = .044), total parenteral nutrition (P = .0028), complicated diabetes mellitus (P = .035), actively treated cancer (P = .021), immunosuppressive medication within past year (P = .035), immunocompromising condition number (P = .031), and delayed pain (P = .0094) and vision loss (P = .020) onset. Visual acuity at presentation correlated with visual outcome (R
    Conclusions: Many conditions can mimic fungal endophthalmitis, but certain risk factors should raise its suspicion. Regardless of diagnosis, presenting vision correlates with final vision. Lastly, no patients with fungal endophthalmitis were asymptomatic or identified by screening, further supporting current Academy candidemia screening guidelines.

    Abstract Purpose: To report multimodal imaging features of a novel MFSD8/CLN7 pathogenic variant associated with bilateral and symmetric non-syndromic macular dystrophy.
    Methods: A 63-year-old female patient presented complaining of a gradual subjective decline in visual acuity in both eyes over the previous months. This patient underwent a comprehensive ophthalmological assessment, including multimodal retinal imaging and electrophysiological testing. Given suspicion for a hereditary retinal disorder, genetic testing was pursued.
    Results: The eye examination revealed blunted foveal reflexes and no lesions or abnormalities in the equatorial or anterior retinal periphery. Multimodal imaging showed a bilateral and almost symmetrical subfoveal interruption of the outer retinal layers including an optical gap. Genetic testing revealed that the MFSD8/CLN7 gene exhibited a homozygous variant, specifically p.Ala484Val (c.1451C>T). This variant was identified as the likely causative factor for the condition.
    Conclusion: We herein describe the clinical findings of a previously unreported homozygous variant in the MFSD8/CLN7 gene, resulting in a non-syndromic form of bilateral central macular dystrophy.

    Abstract Torpedo lesions in the retina are rare, and their clinical significance has not been well established. This case series highlights patients with atypical torpedo lesions with varying orientations and pigmentation patterns. We describe the first documented case of an inferiorly oriented lesion, to our knowledge, and add to the few previous descriptions of double-torpedo lesions.
