Argon laser treatment of senile retinoschisis.

Nanophthalmic uveal effusion syndrome after prophylactic laser treatment.

PURPOSE We report a case of nanophthalmic uveal effusion syndrome (NUES) with total exudative retinal detachment (RD) after prophylactic argon laser (AL) treatment. The RD subsided and eventually resolved with i.v. steroid therapy. METHODS A 45-year-old woman was referred to us with NUES and total exudative RD after prophylactic AL treatment for retinoschisis performed elsewhere. The patient ...

Case report: pneumatic retinopexy for the treatment of progressive retinal detachment in senile retinoschisis.

Retinoschisis is an abnormal separation of the retinal layers and is asymptomatic in most cases. Enlargement of the area of retinoschisis and retinal tear and detachment are possible complications of the disease, and the treatment of retinoschisis is controversial. In this case report, we present a case of retinal detachment associated with senile retinoschisis in which pneumatic retinopexy was...

Successful treatment of discoid lupus erythematosus with argon laser.

Vascular lesions with telangiectasias on visible areas, such as the face, are common in discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE); however, an efficient management of these skin lesions can sometimes be difficult. Since argon laser light is able to specifically coagulate vascular structures, it has been used in the treatment of various vascular skin malformations. Therefore, we addressed the issue whet...

Treatment of senile disciform macular degeneration: a single-blind randomised trial by argon laser photocoagulation. The Moorfields Macular Study Group.

Retinoschisis and macular detachment associated with acquired enlarged optic disc cup

We describe a case of maculopathy consisting of macular retinoschisis and serous macular detachment occurring in a patient with an acquired enlarged optic disc cup, similar to the maculopathy observed in congenital optic nerve abnormalities, mainly optic nerve pits and colobomas, without vitreomacular traction nor angiographic leak. Pars plana vitrectomy with argon laser endophotocoagulation an...
