Retinal Cases & Brief Reports
|August 25, 2022
Summary
A novel finding in myopia: ridge-shaped peripapilla, a distinct optic disk morphology, can cause peripapillary subretinal fluid. This condition involves scleral thickening and retinal pigment epithelium atrophy.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Retinal Imaging
- Myopia Research
Background:
- Myopia is a common refractive error with various ocular complications.
- Peripapillary abnormalities can affect visual function and require detailed investigation.
Observation:
- A case report details a 6-year-old girl with myopia presenting with an unusual fundus appearance.
- The patient exhibited a ridge-shaped elevation temporal to the optic disk with pigmentary changes.
Findings:
- Spectral domain optical coherence tomography revealed subretinal fluid, thinned choroid, and scleral protrusion.
- Fluorescein angiography indicated retinal pigment epithelium atrophy without choroidal neovascularization.
- The findings suggest scleral protrusion caused choroidal changes and subsequent subretinal fluid.
Implications:
- This case introduces 'ridge-shaped peripapilla' as a new descriptor for a specific optic disk morphology in myopic eyes.
- Understanding this entity is crucial for diagnosing and managing peripapillary subretinal fluid in myopic patients.

Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.

00:49The Tongue and Taste Buds
37.2K
The surface of the tongue is covered with various small bumps called papillae, which either distribute what has been ingested (filiform papillae) or contain the sensory taste (or gustatory) receptor cells (fungiform, circumvallate, and foliate papillae). Embedded within each taste-related papilla are the taste buds—clusters of 30 to 100 gustatory receptor cells.

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
2.5K
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

01:16Accessory Structures of the Skin: Hair and Hair Follicles
2.5K
Hair and hair follicles are integral components of the integumentary system. Hair is a filamentous structure composed mainly of a protein called keratin. It is found on the surface of the skin throughout the body, except for areas such as the palms of the hands and soles of the feet.
Hair is a keratinous filament growing out of the epidermis. It is primarily made of dead, keratinized cells. Hair strands originate at the epidermal penetration called the hair follicle. The hair shaft is the part...

02:13Determining the Plane of Cell Division
3.4K
Positioning the cell division plane is a critical step during development and cell differentiation, particularly during mitosis when the plane is essential for determining the size of the two daughter cells. The cell division plane is perpendicular to the plane of chromosome segregation, but different types of organisms have different cell division mechanisms to suit their morphology and function.

Archaeal surface appendages are highly specialized structures essential for environmental adaptation, encompassing roles in adhesion, biofilm formation, and motility. Among these appendages, pili and archaella stand out for their distinct morphologies and functionalities, enabling archaea to thrive in diverse and often extreme environments.Pili: Adhesion and Biofilm FormationPili are filamentous structures assembled from pilin protein subunits, primarily contributing to adhesion and biofilm...
