Ocular Cicatricial Pemphigoid and Solid Tumors: Review with Case Series
Ocular cicatricial pemphigoid (OCP) is a chronic autoimmune condition characterized by recurrent conjunctival inflammation and progressive cicatrization, affecting nearly 70% of mucous membrane pemphigoid patients and potentially leading to blindness. Literature suggests an association between OCP and malignancy.
The Application of Artificial Intelligence in Epiretinal Membrane from Detection to Prognosis Prediction
Epiretinal membrane (ERM) is a prevalent vitreoretinal interface disorder characterized by fibro-cellular proliferation on the inner retinal surface. The prevalence increases markedly with age, and progressive membrane contraction distorts retinal architecture, producing metamorphopsia and irreversible visual impairment thereby significantly impairing patients' quality of life. This highlights the need for more accurate and efficient diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a promising tool to address such challenges. This review summarizes and evaluates recent studies on the applications of AI in ERM management, identifying current limitations and future research directions.
Epidemiology, Associations, and Treatment of Acute Exudative Polymorphous Vitelliform Maculopathy (AEPVM)
Acute Exudative Polymorphous Vitelliform Maculopathy (AEPVM) is a rare retinal disorder characterized by serous subretinal detachments that progress to vitelliform lesions. In this review, we aim to summarize current knowledge of etiologies and treatments for AEPVM and its association with primary and recurrent melanoma.

Intraocular Tuberculosis: Current Insights and Emerging Therapeutic Paradigms
Intraocular tuberculosis (OTb) is a sight-threatening manifestation of Mycobaterium tuberculosis infection. It is characterized by a wide spectrum of clinical phenotypes, including anterior uveitis, posterior uveitis, retinal vasculitis, and choroiditis. Diagnosis remains challenging due to its diverse clinical presentations and the absence of standardized criteria. This review summarizes current knowledge on the clinical spectrum, diagnostic modalities, and emerging management strategies for OTb.
