Purpose: To report a case of peripapillary subretinal hemorrhage and vitreous hemorrhage after riding a roller coaster.Case summary: A 15-year-old female visited our clinic complaining of blurred vision in her left eye after repetitive roller coaster riding. The initial best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 1.0 (right eye) and 0.4 (left eye). The light reflex, relative afferent pupillary defect, and intraocular pressure were within the normal range. On fundus examination, the patient was found to have a peripapillary subretinal hemorrhage, subhyaloid hemorrhage, and vitreous hemorrhage in her left eye. The BCVA of her left eye improved to 1.0 from 0.4 without any treatment after 2 weeks. The peripapillary subretinal hemorrhage and vitreous hemorrhage were completely absorbed after 7 months. Conclusions In the case of unexplained retinal hemorrhage in healthy patients without other retinal or systemic diseases, a detailed medical history should be collected to determine the possibility of disorders related to damages from riding a roller coaster.

Epidermolysis bullosa simplex with mottled pigmentation (EBS-MP) is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by nonscarring blistering after minor trauma, reticulated pigmentation, and palmoplantar hyperkeratosis. EBS-MP is caused by a mutation in the KRT5 or KRT14 gene encoding the keratinocyte intermediate filament. A 14-year-old girl presented with reticulated hyperpigmentation of the trunk and both extremities, which was observed 9 years ago.Additionally, punctate hyperkeratotic papules were observed on both the palms and soles. She had a history of being diagnosed with EBS as a baby. Skin biopsies were performed on both the hyperpigmented and hyperkeratotic papules. Based on the clinical and histopathological findings, the patient was diagnosed with EBS-MP, and next-generation sequencing was performed. Genetic screening identified a p.P25L mutation in the KRT5 gene.Herein, we report a case of p.P25L mutation in the KRT5 gene in a patient with EBS-MP.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a multi-organ disease impacting the respiratory system and various organs, has recently been linked to diverse cutaneous manifestations. COVID toes, a cutaneous sign of COVID-19 infection, is relatively common in children and young adults, although its clear association with COVID-19 has not been widely reported. This report presents the case of a 1-year-old infant with COVID toes. The patient exhibited violaceous discoloration in the distal toes. Further, the patient exhibited no symptoms of COVID-19 infection and the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was negative for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2); therefore, the patient was initially diagnosed with frostbite. However, the infant’s condition deteriorated despite treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and a warm-water bath. After a skin biopsy and serum SARS-CoV-2 test, the patient was diagnosed with COVID toes and treated with systemic steroids, photobiomodulation therapy, and dressing. This case underscores the importance of recognizing chilblain-like lesions in pediatric patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, emphasizing the need for awareness of COVID toes among healthcare professionals.
