ISSN: 1573-2630Keywords: chorioretinal folds ; age-related macular degeneration ; occult choroidal neovascularizationSource: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: MedicineNotes: Abstract Chorioretinal folds are most commonly idiopathic. Radial chorioretinal folds can be a sign of choroidal neovascularization. A case of bilateral radial chorioretinal folds as a presenting sign of age-related macular degeneration is reported. This patient has maintained good visual acuity in one eye in which the only sign of occult choroidal neovascularization is the presence of chorioretinal folds and minimal leakage on fluorescein angiography.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1573-2630Keywords: corneal scarring ; microendoscopy ; intra-ocular surgerySource: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: MedicineNotes: Abstract A new microendoscope is introduced for intraocular use. The probe diameter measures 0.96 mm. The resolving power is 360,000 pixels. Initial experiments on porcine eyes show the image quality to be excellent. This new endoscope may be helpful in lacrimal duct surgery, in cases of hazy corneas with intraocular pathology, for removal of intraocular foreign bodies, and in the diagnosis of tumors of the ciliary body or orbit.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 1994Staff ViewISSN: 1573-2630Keywords: fiberoptic endoilluminator ; light retinopathy ; operating microscope ; wavelengthSource: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: MedicineNotes: Abstract We are presenting the state of knowledge concerning intraoperative light-induced retinal injury, considered to be a combination of photic retinopathy and retinal photocoagulation. It may arise from retinal light exposure to the operating microscope or to the fiberoptic endoilluminator. Ultraviolet and short-wavelength visible light are more dangerous than longer wavelength light. Many risk factors may facilitate the onset of this iatrogenic disease following surgery. Many aspects of the retinal damage are still poorly understood. Many mild light-induced retinal injuries probably remain undiagnosed in routine postoperative examination. Current appropriate light filters are not the definitive solution. Appropriate precautions should be taken during both anterior segment and vitreoretinal surgery.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 1994Staff ViewISSN: 1573-2630Keywords: anterior chamber cyst ; intraocular cilia ; penetrating eye injurySource: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: MedicineNotes: Abstract We herein describe a patient in whom two intraocular eyelashes and an anterior chamber cyst embedded into the anterior surface of the iris was detected following penetrating eye injury. After a one year asymptomatic period, the patient was hospitalized because of uveitic reaction in the anterior chamber which may be due to cyst development. The lashes and cyst were removed surgically, and examined pathologically. There was no complication in one year follow-up period.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1573-2630Keywords: anterior proliferative vitreoretinopathy ; epiretinal membranes ; immunohistochemistry ; inflammation ; pathology ; retinal detachment ; traumaSource: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: MedicineNotes: Abstract Anterior proliferative vitreoretinopathy is characterized by epiretinal proliferation that extends anteriorly over the vitreous base, and may, in addition to the cells usually contributing to proliferative vitreoretinopathy, also contain cells of ocular structures located in that area. We examined 11 complete globes with aPVR that were enucleated after previous severe trauma or perforating injuries (n=8) and complicated retinal detachment (n=3) by a panel of immunohistochemical markers. We found presence of RPE, glial cells, macrophages and fibrocytes, as consistently reported in PVR membranes. In addition, T-cell lymphocytes were present in 6 of the cases, and cells expressing the common leucocyte antigen on 8 cases. Cells staining positive for the intracytoplasmic contractile filamentα-smooth muscle actin were present in 5 cases and cells staining for desmin in one case. Collagen type IV was part of most of the membranes, and vessels with leakage of plasma factors were present in more than half of the cases.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1573-2630Keywords: blue-green Argon laser ; trabeculoplasty ; trabeculoretraction ; chronic open angle glaucomas ; treatment failuresSource: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: MedicineNotes: Abstract The effects of trabeculoplasty, or Argon laser trabeculoretraction (A.L.T.R.) resulting from a study pursued over two years in 194 eyes, over 3 years in 45 eyes, and over 4 years in 22 eyes, show early and late failures. 151 phakic patients (76 women and 75 men aged between 25 and 93 with an average of 67 years) were treated. After a follow-up of two years we have an intra-ocular pressure (I.O.P.) drop of 6.93 mmHg and a failure rate of 28%; after a follow-up of 3 years the I.O.P. drop is 6.30 mmHg and the failure rate 36%; after a follow-up of 4 years the I.O.P. drop is 7.87 mmHg and the failure rate 41%. The initial medical treatment could be decreased in less than 50% of the cases. The frequency of failure is more important in the presurgical glaucoma with an intra-ocular pressure higher than 28 mmHg and submitted to maximum tolerated medical therapy. A.L.T.R. gives good results in combined mechanism glaucoma and after failure of trabeculectomy; a two-year follow-up shows similar efficacy in primary open angle glaucoma (P.O.A.G.) and in pigmentary glaucoma, bad results in myopic or in aphakic glaucoma (12 cases not included in this study) and ‘escape’ in pseudo-capsular glaucoma. The total study conducted over 4 years shows 10% new failure cases per year. The results obtained by A.L.T.R. seem to persist around 5 years and might be effective for a period not exceeding 10 years. The A.L.T.R. can then be considered as a new drug-like treatment to be added to the various other glaucoma treatments.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -
