AIM To report 7 year results of ophthalmic plaque radiotherapy for exudative macular degeneration. METHODS In a phase I clinical trial, 30 patients (31 eyes) were treated with ophthalmic plaque irradiation for subfoveal exudative macular degeneration. Radiation was delivered to a mean 2 mm from the inner sclera (range 1.2-2.4) prescription point calculated along the central axis of the plaque...

BACKGROUND Vasoproliferative tumours of the retina (VPTR) are benign tumours of unknown origin, occurring mostly in otherwise healthy patients. VPTR may be associated with other chorioretinal diseases, such as uveitis. The tumours, which histologically represent reactive gliovascular proliferations, are characterised by a pink to yellow appearance on funduscopy and are accompanied by exudative ...

Present study has been carried out to determine the efficacy of percutaneous needle peritoneal biopsy in the diagnosis of exudative ascites of unknown aetiology. METHODS It is a descriptiv...

We read with interest the recent study of Gattoussi et al. investigating the association between vitreomacular adhesion (VMA) and AMD. The authors did not find any statistically significant associations of VMA with any stage of AMD. This result is in contrast to other previous studies that have found an association between VMA and exudative AMD, suggesting that VMA might be a risk factor for ch...
