BACKGROUND Suprachoroidal gas injection has been reported as a complication of pneumatic retinopexy, and the usefulness of B-scan ultrasonography has been reported. A case of suprachoroidal gas injection as a complication of pars plana vitrectomy confirmed by computed tomography (CT) is presented here. METHODS A 64-year-old woman developed a vitreous hemorrhage due to a retinal tear secondary...

PURPOSE to evaluate the results of pars plana vitrectomy with peeling of the inner limiting membrane (ILM stained with infracyanine green (IfCG) in 26 patients with diabetic macular edema, and to identify which factors are associated with a better postoperative visual outcome. PATIENTS AND METHODS 26 patients with diabetic macular edema were included in the study. A pars plana vitrectomy with...

The clinical course in 50 eyes was analysed after pars plana vitrectomy for progressive diabetic fibrovascular proliferations. Patients were assigned to pars plana vitrectomy if progression of proliferations occurred despite a photocoagulation treatment with a mean number of 3500 burns and additional peripheral cryoablation. All cases had visual impairment because of fibrovascular tissue coveri...

INTRODUCTION Macular oedema is the main cause of visual impairment following retinal vein occlusion. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the anatomical and functional outcome of pars plana vitrectomy and internal limited membrane (ILM) peeling for macular oedema secondary to retinal vein occlusion. CLINICAL PICTURE This pilot study is a prospective nonrandomised series of 11 eyes of 11 ...

Objective: The evaluation of intraocular pressure (IOP) after vitreoretinal surgery is critical to ensure the normal function of the eye. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidences and risk factors of early postoperative IOP elevation after vitreoretinal surgery. Method: Data were collected and retrospectively analyzed from 150 patients (150 eyes) who received vitreoretinal surge...

Aim: This study is to investigate the clinical outcomes of 23-gauge Pars Plana Vitrectomy (23G PPV) for the management of Posterior Capsule Rupture (PCR) with vitreous loss in phacoemulsification

Vitreous floaters are common. Most every ophthalmologist treating adults sees new and existing patients with a chief complaint of floaters in the office on a daily basis. Yet, treatment options for bothersome floaters have traditionally been quite limited. Robert Machemer introduced pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in the early 1970s, and with the progressively decreasing gauge size, the idea of PPV...

Early elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) following pars plana vitrectomy is a common complication of vitreoretinal surgery and severe pressure elevation may result in visual loss. To investigate the mechanism of IOP elevation following pars plana vitrectomy, a retrospective review of 119 patients (132 eyes) who had undergone vitreoretinal surgery was performed. Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) w...

Advanced diabetic retinopathy with vitreous hemorrhage or tractional retinal detachment (TDR) is an important cause of severe visual loss in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), frequently representing an indication for pars plana vitrectomy in diabetic patients. In these cases, surgery is not free from complications such as intraoperative vitreous hemorrhage and retinal rupt...

AIM The purpose of this study is to report a case of endogenous endopthalmitis caused by Scedosporium apiospermum with a favorable outcome and review previously reported cases, their treatment regimens and outcomes. METHODS An 83-year-old man with diabetes mellitus, no other immunocompromising risk factors, and a history of S. apiospermum endopthalmitis in the left eye developed endopthalmiti...
