This chapter of Pediatric Ocular Congenital Vasculopathies focuses on the clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, diagnostic examination, and treatment of persistent fetal vasculature, incontinentia pigmenti, and Norrie disease.

In this video, Dr. Pedro Acevedo describes how to use a smartphone to capture retinal images. This method is particularly helpful in the evaluation of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and for use in telemedicine.

In this 1-Minute Video, Dr. Audina Berrocal offers pearls for diagnosing familial exudative vitreoretinopathy.

Coat's disease is a telangiectatic exudative retinopathy affecting young males. SRF drainage is done for stages 3-4 with or without adjuvant therapies. Traditionally, SRF drainage is done via transcleral route after a conjunctival peritomy. In this video we demonstrate transconjunctival techniques of SRF drainage with a 26G needle by: a) indirect ophthalmoscope guidance and b) method of active infusion. Advantages of transconjunctival SRF drainage are: 1) No chance of retinal incarceration as in cut down techniques of drainage; 2) Avoids shifting of fluid as globe is not moved and drainage is complete; 3) Posterior drainage is possible under direct visualisation; 4) No lens related complications as Anterior chamber maintainer is not used; 5) Minimally invasive as no peritomy is required.

This retrospective analysis reviewed the short-term risk of retinal detachment among infants requiring treatment for type 1 ROP.

In this surgical video, Dr. Khalid Sabti performs transscleral drainage of subretinal fluid in a 14-year-old patient with Coats disease and progressive vision loss

This paper describes the importance of scleral buckle in successful repair of pediatric rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).

Drs. Epley and Orge moderate this virtual journal club with Drs. Donahue, Repka, and Wallace. Articles included: Surgical Treatment of Intermittent Exotropia, Amblyopia Improvement with Spectacles Alone, and Retinopathy of Prematurity Treatment with Low-Dose Bevacizumab.

In this AAO 2018 interview, Dr. Antonio Capone Jr. describes the diagnosis and surgical treatment of patients with crunch detachment after anti-VEGF therapy for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).
