We describe a 27-year-old gentleman who presented with sudden loss of left vision after a football match. As there was no improvement with previous treatment, he was referred to us for second opinion three weeks after initial presentation. Examination showed a quiet left eye with large whitish lesion with fluid level in the macula. It posed a dilemma in diagnosis as possibility of infectious cause could not be ruled out.Pars plana vitrectomy with vitreous biopsy was done and it showed old organised blood from premacular haemorrhage resulted from valsalva retinopathy.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death around the world, being the top cause of cancer-related deaths among men and the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths among women in Singapore. Currently, no screening programme for lung cancer exists in Singapore. Since there is mounting evidence indicating a different epidemiology of lung cancer in Asian countries, including Singapore, compared to the rest of the world, a unique and adaptive approach must be taken for a screening programme to be successful at reducing mortality while maintaining cost-effectiveness and a favourable risk-benefit ratio. This review article promotes the use of low-dose computed tomography of the chest and explores the radiological challenges and future directions.
