The relationship between retinal detachment and posterior lens capsule rupture in pseudophakic patients was studied. Records of patients with pseudophakic retinal detachment who were admitted to Siriraj Hospital from 1992 to 2004 were reviewed. The patients were divided into 2 main groups: 1) The study group (pseudophakic retinal detachment) 79 eyes (78 cases) which was subdivided into group 1a...

purpose: to determine the prevalence of ocular manifestations in marfan’s syndrome. methods: this cross-sectional study was performed on 43 patients referred to ophthalmology clinics of yazd medical university over 27 months. common ocular manifestations of marfan’s syndrome including lens dislocation, corneal disorders, retinal conditions, glaucoma were evaluated. results: the study included 2...

Background: To report the clinical features and prophylactic treatment methods for retinal pathology in Stickler syndrome (SS) patients (pts). Methods: A retrospective non-comparative interventional case series. Results: The median age of the pts was 12 (range 0.2-68) years. Systemic features of SS were present in 23 pts. High myopia was present in 19 pts. Treatment was by laser retinopexy and ...

Since the first vitrectomy surgery was used for treatment of vitreoretinal diseases, surgical techniques and instrumentation have been rapidly improved in the past decades. However, there are complicated vitreoretinal diseases that cannot be successfully treated, even with state-of-the-art surgeries. The outcomes of some complicated cases are still poor due to different reasons and debates stil...

PURPOSE To describe changes in the localization patterns and levels of rod and cone photoreceptor proteins after experimental retinal detachment (RD). METHODS Cat retinas were detached for 1, 3, 7, or 28 days, at which time the eyecups were placed in fixative for immunocytochemical analysis or homogenized for biochemistry. Immunocytochemistry was performed using 19 probes for molecules known ...

Aim: To study the functional and anatomic outcomes of retinectomy of 180° or more in eyes with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD) with advanced proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) Grade D. Materials and methods: A retrospective analysis of 51 eyes that underwent pars-plana vitrectomy (PPV) with 180° or more of retinectomy for RD with PVR Grade D was done. Main outcome measures included re...

We present a case of retinitis pigmentosa with vitreoretinal traction-associated retinal detachment. The retinal detachment was detected in the nasal periphery. No retinal breaks and no active vascular leakage were observed by fundus scopy and fluorescein angiography, respectively. However, 8 months later, the tractional retinal detachment was spontaneously resolved with posterior vitreous deta...

Abstract Background Treatment of recurrent retinal detachment (re-RD) following vitrectomy (post-gas/air tamponade and post-silicone oil removal) is challenging. Previously reported treatment commonly revision pars plana (PPV) combined with tamponade, which invasive a burden both economically emotionally when compared scleral buckling (SB). The purpose this study to report anatomical functional...

Newly Recognized Serous Macular Detachment in Retinal Vascular Disease Serous macular detachment has only recently been recognized to occur in a significant number of eyes with retinal vascular leakage, including diabetic macular edema,1,2 branch retinal vein occlusion,3–5 central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO),6 and hypotony maculopathy.7 These serous retinal detachments associated with retinal...

PURPOSE To test the effect of Palomid 529, an inhibitor of the Akt/mTOR pathway, on Müller cell proliferation, subretinal glial scar formation, and photoreceptor survival after experimental retinal detachment (RD). METHODS Palomid 529 (600 microg) in balanced salt solution or balanced salt solution alone was injected intravitreally immediately after RD into the right eyes of 12 rabbits. Ten m...
