A case of choroidal neovascular membrane in Enhanced S-Cone Syndrome treated with Aflibercept
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PURPOSE: Enhanced S-cone syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the NR2E3 gene that presents with night blindness, cystoid macular edema, subretinal fibrosis characteristic of electroretinogram changes, and in a subset of patients with choroidal neovascular membranes. METHODS: A retrospective chart review was conducted of a single case presentation. RESULTS: An 18-year-old male patient presented with a 6 days decline in left eye vision. Ancillary testing revealed foveomacular schisis in the right eye and an active choroidal neovascularization in the left eye. Further testing confirmed a diagnosis of enhanced S-cone syndrome. Treatment with intravitreal aflibercept injections resulted in regression of choroidal neovascularization and improvement in visual acuity. CONCLUSION: Intravitreal aflibercept demonstrates to be a successful therapy in patients presenting with choroidal neovascularization secondary to enhanced S-cone syndrome.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
