OBJECTIVE A review was performed on all patients with Stickler syndrome that had been treated in our Centre since it was diagnosed, in order to evaluate the risk of suffering a retinal detachment (RD). METHODS A total of 14 patients, diagnosed by clinical criteria, were included. The following variables were evaluated: age, gender, ocular background, follow-up, initial and final visual acuity...

PURPOSE To report the prevalence of retinal detachment (RD) and results of prophylaxis against detachment from a giant retinal tear in a large cohort of patients with type 1 Stickler syndrome. DESIGN Retrospective study. PARTICIPANTS Two hundred four type 1 Stickler syndrome patients. METHOD Pedigrees and individuals with type 1 Stickler syndrome were identified from the vitreous research...

Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is an important cause of visual impairment and one of the most common ocular emergencies threatening vision. Timely surgical intervention is crucial to prevent permanent visual loss. The fundamental principles used in the surgical management of RD are the identification and subsequent closing of all retinal breaks, and relieving vitreous traction on the r...

BACKGROUND Silicone oil tamponade is more frequently reserved for cases of complex retinal detachment. We describe the effects of different variations in oil ratios with the relatively unknown technique of double oil tamponade. METHODS Retrospective case note review of nine patients with complex rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD). All cases had both superior and inferior breaks, mostly wi...

PURPOSE To determine the cellular consequences of retinal detachment in retinoschisin knockout (Rs1-KO) mice, a model for retinoschisin in humans. METHODS Experimental retinal detachments (RDs) were induced in the right eyes of both Rs1-KO and wild-type (wt) control mice. Immunocytochemistry was performed on retinal tissue at 1, 7, or 28 days after RD with antibodies to anti-GFAP, -neurofilam...

eurpaSe To analyse anatomical and functional results of retinal detachment swery in cases complicated by proliferative vitreoretinopatby in childhood. M&Q& Thirty six consecutive cases of retinal detachment complicated by PVR stages Cl and more in childhood were analysed retrospectively. All the cases associated scleral buckling, pars plana vitrectomy, complete membrane peeling, injection of li...

purpose: to compare the safety, efficacy, and visual results of laser in situ keratomileusis (lasik) in eyes with and without previous scleral buckling surgery in the same individuals. methods: in a prospective clinical trial, 14 eyes of 7 patients with myopic refractive error and history of scleral buckling in one eye, underwent lasik surgery in both eyes according to a standard surgical proto...
