Bilateral Exudative Retinal Detachment in HELLP Syndrome

The HELLP syndrome is a pregnancy complication, life-threatening for mother and child, characterized by hypertension, elevated liver enzymes and low platelets. Blurred vision is the most common visual complaint. A rare case of bilateral exudative retinal detachment associated with the HELLP syndrome is described in a 30-year-old Caucasian woman at 33 weeks' gestation. The retinal detachment did...

Bilateral exudative retinal detachment with choroidopathy in malignant hypertension.

[Bilateral third cranial nerve palsy secondary to lung carcinoma metastasis].

CLINICAL CASE A 58 year-old man with a known diagnosis of a large cell lung carcinoma, developed a progressive diplopia. His examination revealed a double oculomotor nerve palsy with dilated and poorly reactive pupils. A cranial magnetic resonance showed an unique and solitary lesion in the midbrain, which presumably affected to both oculomotor nucleus and fasciculus. There were not found addit...

Bilateral Choroidal Folds in a Diabetic Patient

Abstract In this presentation, a case of bilateral choroidal folds in patient with diabetic retinopathy was reported. By our knowledge, this case presentation is the first report of choroidal folds in diabetic retinopathy, which bilateral symmetric and horizontal folds arranged in macula. The thick choroid that is developed in diabetics may be a cause of these folds but the source of differenc...

Bilateral retinal detachment following carotid-cavernous fistula.

Cases of the third type are usually commoner in men, but Meadows (1951) has described nine cases of fistulous aneurysm arising spontaneously in middle-aged women. The sequence of events appears to be the development of an aneurysig of the internal carotid artery as it lies within the cavernous sinus bathed in venous blood. This aneurysm is small and silent, a large one being less likely to rupt...

Bilateral Simultaneous Retinal Detachment in Pseudophakia

Cataract surgery is the most frequent surgical intervention, with approximately 700,000 operations per year in Germany alone. One of the most serious complications is retinal detachment, with a reported incidence rate of pseudophakic retinal detachment of 0.75-1.65%. We report the case of a patient who suffered from a simultaneous bilateral pseudophakic retinal detachment. Interestingly, the bi...
