We present a brief description of acute retinal necrosis, rare and severe condition that is accompanied by rapid development inflammatory occlusive events in the vasculature preceding peripheral necrotizing retinitis. Despite successful etiotropic conservative therapy, disease complicated proliferative vitreoretinopathy with high risk detachment, leading to irreversible loss sight. clinical cas...

PURPOSE To determine levels of the chemokines CCL1/I-309, CCL2/MCP-1, CCL3/MIP-1alpha, CCL4/MIP-1beta, CCL7/MCP-3, CCL8/MCP-2, CXCL5/ENA-78, CXCL6/GCP-2, CXCL10/IP-10, and CXCL11/I-TAC in the vitreous humor and serum, from patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with no PVR (RD), and to investigate the ...

BACKGROUND Syphilis is a reemerging sexually transmitted disease that can lead to any type of intraocular inflammation. Prognosis of syphilitic uveitis after appropriate therapy is classically regarded as favorable. However, visual threatening complications may develop, rarely including rhegmatogenous/tractional retinal detachment (R/T RD) and proliferative vitreoretinopathy. FINDINGS We repo...

AIM To present the anatomical and functional outcomes of surgery in cases of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment complicated (at presentation) by proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective study of the cases operated upon by a single surgeon between October 2012 and September 2014. RESULTS A total of 49 eyes of 49 patients had PVR at presentation (12 cases with ...

PURPOSE To report causes of failure, management options, and outcomes after reoperations for recurrent retinal detachment in silicone oil-filled eyes. METHODS One hundred eighteen silicone oil-filled eyes with recurrent retinal detachment were managed with revision of vitrectomy with membrane surgery with or without silicone oil removal, just scleral buckling, or both. Anatomical success was ...
