Woman presents with white retinal lesions
A 41-year-old Japanese-Caucasian woman was referred to the New England Eye Center for evaluation of retinal lesions in both eyes. Three weeks prior, she developed blurred vision, vertigo, headache, swollen neck glands, sore throat and malaise. She presented to an outside emergency department where she had a normal MRI of the brain and orbits and a positive throat culture for Streptococcus. She was seen by a consulting ophthalmologist who noted 20/200 vision in each eye with “white round patches surrounding the macula with areas of dot hemorrhages” in both eyes. She was treated with intravenous hydration and oral amoxicillin for presumed streptococcal pharyngitis and discharged with ophthalmology follow-up. She was an otherwise healthy woman without a significant medical, ocular or family history of disease.
Choroidal mass noted in right eye of middle-aged woman
A 55-year-old woman was referred to the New England Eye Center for evaluation of a lesion in the right eye noted incidentally during an annual eye exam. She denied any change in vision, photopsias or eye pain. She had undergone uncomplicated cataract surgery in both eyes 1.5 years before presentation. She denied any other ocular history.
Young woman referred for bilateral retinal masses
A 25-year-old woman was referred for evaluation and management of bilateral retinal masses, which were initially identified by a local retinal specialist. The patient otherwise had no ocular history, and she had no visual complaints at that time. She denied changes in vision, eye pain, flashes or floaters.
Woman referred for progressive blurred vision, difficulty with night driving
A 55-year-old woman was referred to the New England Eye Center with symptoms of progressive blurred vision and difficulty with night driving, noticed primarily in the right eye. The vision changes started 4 to 5 days prior and seemed to be slowly worsening. She denied any eye redness, pain, metamorphopsia, scotomas, flashes or floaters. She was on no medications. Her medical and family histories were unremarkable.
