Leber's miliary aneurysms in a 63-year-old woman: concurrence of regression and active lesions

Abstract:
We examined a 63-year-old woman with retinal telangiectasia, aneurysms, a ring of fatty exudate, and pigmented chorioretinal atrophic lesions in the right eye. Leber's miliary aneurysm was diagnosed, although this disorder is known to have a high incidence mainly in young boys. The pigmented chorioretinal scars appear to be sequelae of spontaneously regressing retinal lesions.

01:26Aneurysm III: Interprofessional Care
Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended.

01:30Leishmaniasis
Leishmaniasis is a protozoal disease caused by species of the genus Leishmania and transmitted through the bite of infected female sandflies. The parasite exists in two principal morphological forms during its life cycle. A sandfly acquires intracellular amastigotes from an infected reservoir host, such as a dog. Within the sandfly, these forms differentiate into motile, flagellated promastigotes. During a subsequent blood meal, promastigotes are injected into the human host, where they...
