TL;DR: Hemorrhagic disciform degeneration centered in the fovea with serous detachment of the overlying neuroepithelium developed in two patients with fundus flavimaculatus and there was no evidence of other diseases associated with subretinal neovascularization.
Abstract: • Hemorrhagic disciform degeneration centered in the fovea with serous detachment of the overlying neuroepithelium developed in two patients with fundus flavimaculatus. Fluorescein angiography disclosed the presence of subretinal neovascular membranes. There was no evidence of other diseases associated with subretinal neovascularization. Fundus flavimaculatus must be added to the growing list of diseases associated with subretinal neovascularization.

TL;DR: The possibility of occult dural arteriovenous fistulae should be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients with a choroidal detachment, proptosis, and a red eye.
Abstract: • Abnormalities in the choroidal circulation developed in two patients with arteriovenous fistulae in the area of the cavernous sinus. Fluorescein angiography in both patients revealed delayed filling of their choroidal circulation. In the first patient, this was associated with a central serous detachment of the retina secondary to a retinal pigment epithelial defect. In the second patient, a large choroidal detachment and serous retinal detachment, which resolved spontaneously developed. High venous pressure, low mean arterial pressure, and subsequent tissue hypoxia are postulated to be the cause of the altered choroidal circulation. The possibility of occult dural arteriovenous fistulae should be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients with a choroidal detachment, proptosis, and a red eye.

TL;DR: A model of multifocal septic choroiditis with serous retinal detachment after intracarotid injection of Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus faecalis with microabscesses in the inner choroids and subretinal space is described.
Abstract: The present study describes a model of multifocal septic choroiditis with serous retinal detachment after intracarotid injection of Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus faecalis. The fundus lesions occurred mainly in the tapetal area and, on ophthalmoscopic examination, were more extensive after S. aureus than after S. faecalis injection. On histopathologic examination there were microabscesses in the inner choroid and subretinal space, disrupting the outer retina but sparing the inner retina.
