Acute subretinal macular haemorrhage following an accidental electrical shock

Accidental macular hole following neodymium:YAG posterior capsulotomy.

INTRODUCTION Posterior capsular opacification (PCO) is the commonest complication of cataract surgery, occurring in up to one-third of patients in a period of five years. The treatment of choice is the Neodymium:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy. This treatment can be associated with several complications, some of them severe. A rare complication of this procedure is the accidental induced macula...

Multimodal imaging of macular subretinal deposits following intravitreal ocriplasmin injection

Purpose Ocriplasmin is effective in closing macular holes due to vitreomacular traction. We present a case of macular subretinal material deposition observed with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and multimodal imaging, following successful closure of a macular hole following intravitreal ocriplasmin injection. Observations An 81-year-old male presented with decreased vis...

Neuropsychological dysfunction in severe accidental electrical shock: two case reports.

There has been a relative absence of studies that have longitudinally examined the neuropsychological profiles of women who have sustained severe accidental electrical shocks. A case is reported of a college-educated woman who received an estimated 120-V electrical shock. Neuropsychological assessments conducted at 2 months, and at 1 and 2 years postinjury, revealed a diversity of deficits indi...

Orthostatic hypotension following acute intracerebral haemorrhage.

BACKGROUND Blood pressure regulation may be impaired following acute stroke. Typically, there is overactivity of the sympathetic nervous system and underactivity of the parasympathetic system resulting in transient hypertension. Orthostatic hypotensive responses in acute stroke are less well documented. CASE REPORT We present a case of severe persistent orthostatic hypotension (OH) following ...
