CASE REPORT A 70-years-old woman presented with a one week history of progressive loss of vision in the right eye (RE) diagnosed as retinal detachment from 7 to 1 o' clock with retinal break at the 10.30 o' clock associated. Gadolinium enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the brain and orbits with fat suppression showed a convexity meningioma. Scleral buckling with a segmental spon...

The 'fishmouth phenomenon' seen in some previously treated retinal detachments is associated with large horeshoe tears and scleral buckling techniques. A method of treating patients with this complication is described in which scleral buckling with implant or explant is not used. The technique utilises intravitreal air tamponade with cryopexy and gives good results. The incidence of patients de...

If the ocular media are clear, indirect binocular ophthalmoscopy allows retinal detachment and retinal tear identification and treatment under direct visualization. However, if opacities are present preventing direct fundus examination, ultrasonography becomes the most important tool for evaluating the posterior segment. In addition, ultrasonography can be useful in retinal tear treatment by gu...

Retinopathy of prematurity is a vasoproliferative retinopathy occurring primarily, but not exclusively, in premature infants. The condition is a major cause of pediatric blindness in developed countries. Although acute retinopathy of prematurity regresses spontaneously for more than 90% of infants, a chronic or late proliferative phase follows in some eyes whereby tractional retinal detachments...

Many clinical entities may be associated with the development of peripheral retinal neovascularization. In this paper, we review the mechanisms of normal and abnormal angiogenesis in the retina. Specific disease entities associated with peripheral proliferative retinopathies are discussed. These include vascular disease with ischemia, inflammatory diseases with possible ischemia and a variety o...

Seven patients with macular hole retinal detachment were treated by intravitreal gas injection with or without release of subretinal fluid. Macular buckling, diathermy, cryopexy, or vitrectomy were not used. The patients were placed prone for eight hours a day until the gas had absorbed. In five of the seven patients the retina became reattached within three days and remained reattached with fo...

introduction: there are different methods to repair retinal detachment. in this trial the retinopexy in repairmen of retinal regmatogenesis rd is compared with other methods in qazvin teaching hospitals during 1993-2003. methods: this out come study was conducted on 47 patients with s/b and retinal break cryopexy (group i) , 30 patients undergoing s/b with barrier laser photocoagulation around ...
