Iris transillumination defects in patients with primary open angle glaucoma.
PURPOSE To examine the incidence and pattern of iris transillumination defects in patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) with and without vascular dysregulation, in comparison to controls. METHODS We prospectively examined 24 patients with POAG (M/F 10:14; mean age 59 +/- 14, range 21-76 years) and 23 controls (M/F 10:13; mean age 52 +/- 15, range 25-86 years). Vascular dysregulatio...
متن کاملAngle-closure glaucoma associated with ciliary body detachment in patients using topiramate.
erally, involvement of the surgical margin by tumor cells on histopathologic examination is an indication to repeated surgical resection with wider margins, especially in immunosuppressed patients. In summary, we described a 56year-old patient with liver transplantation who developed aggressive conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma that invaded the brain and led to death despite orbital exentera...
متن کاملAngle-closure glaucoma associated with occult annular ciliary body detachment.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the role of annular ciliary body detachment in the development of postoperative angle-closure glaucoma. DESIGN Case series. SETTING Tertiary care glaucoma referral center. METHODS High-resolution, anterior segment ultrasound biomicroscopy, ophthalmoscopy, and B-scan ultrasonography were performed on 6 eyes of 6 patients with a clinical diagnosis of postoperative mali...
متن کاملAnterior Segment Scleral Fluorescein Angiography in the Evaluation of Ciliary Body Neoplasm: Two Case Reports
INTRODUCTION Anterior segment tumors can be difficult to detect until tumor growth is substantial enough to cause local signs or symptoms. Earlier detection may result in improved outcomes, particularly the ability to option for globe-conserving therapy. Multiple diagnostic modalities such as ultrasound or optical coherence tomography exist to aid for earlier detection of ciliary body tumors, b...
متن کاملScleral biomechanics and glaucoma--a connection?
I ntraocular pressure (IOP) is well known to play an important role in the pathogenesis of some forms of glaucoma. Furthermore, significant, sustained pressure reduction is known to be beneficial in the clinical management of glaucoma patients. 1 Less well understood is the mechanism by which elevated IOP leads to the loss of retinal ganglion cells that is the hallmark of glaucomatous optic neu...
