TL;DR: From the data presented it is the feeling of the authors that cases with obstruction of the central retinal artery alone and NLP acuity in the involved eye are most unusual, and additional complicating factors should be suspected, particularly abnormalities of the choroidal circulation and the optic nerve.

TL;DR: Forty-one patients representing 43 eyes with retinal telangiectasia and subretinal exudates (Coats' Disease) were managed between 1966 and 1980 and it is stressed that the disease can be controlled with aggressive treatment.

TL;DR: The clinical and fluorescein angiographic features of seven patients with unilateral, large retinal vessels supplying or draining the macular region, both inferior and superior to the horizontal raphe, are described and it is suggested that these congenital anomalies be referred to as retinal macrovessels.
Abstract: • The clinical and fluorescein angiographic features of seven patients with unilateral, large retinal vessels supplying or draining the macular region, both inferior and superior to the horizontal raphe, are described. All patients had good vision, although two patients also had a concomitant foveolar cyst in the involved eye. Four of the seven eyes had small perifoveolar arteriovenous communications, while three eyes did not. Four eyes also showed abnormal areas of retinal capillary nonperfusion. In addition, delayed drainage of dye from the enlarged vessels was a commonly encountered feature. It is suggested that these congenital anomalies be referred to as retinal macrovessels .

TL;DR: A 66-year-old woman receiving anticoagulant therapy experienced a spontaneous massive subretinal hemorrhage that led to blindness and intractable glaucoma in the involved eye and necessitated enucleation.
Abstract: A 66-year-old woman receiving anticoagulant therapy experienced a spontaneous massive subretinal hemorrhage that led to blindness and intractable glaucoma in the involved eye and necessitated enucleation. Clinical and histopathological observations suggested that the bleeding originated from blood vessels within an area of disciform macular degeneration. If the patient had not been receiving anticoagulant therapy the hemorrhage would presumably have been more limited.

TL;DR: The occurrence of these multiple anomalies in the same patient lends further support to the theory that optic disc colobomas and optic nerve hypoplasia represent a spectrum of developmental anomalies of the optic nerve.
Abstract: The case of a 21-year-old woman with an optic nerve head coloboma and optic pit in one eye, a hypoplastic optic nerve head in the second eye, and a small retinochoroidal coloboma in each eye is presented. The probable etiology is some unknown insult involving several ocular embryonic structures and occurring during the 11-mm to 20-mm stage of development. The occurrence of these multiple anomalies in the same patient lends further support to the theory that optic disc colobomas and optic nerve hypoplasia represent a spectrum of developmental anomalies of the optic nerve.
