CHOROIDAL DETACHMENT

Persistent choroidal detachment.

Recurrent choroidal detachment.

CHOROIDAL detachment following intra-ocular operation is a complication often encountered, but associated with other conditions or alone it is rare. It has been reported after orbital cellulitis, intra-ocular foreign body, tenonitis, scleritis, certain systemic diseases, and has also apparently occurred spontaneously. This report concerns a man who, at the age of 63, developed a choroidal detac...

Choroidal detachment after filtering surgery.

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to report the treatment and outcome of eight cases of choroidal detachment, which occurred several days to many years after trabeculectomy. METHODS This is a retrospective study of eight cases of choroidal detachment after trabeculectomy with or without cataract extraction reviewed at CGMH, Keelung, from 2002 to 2004. One eye with idiopathic scleromalac...

Choroidal detachment in aphakic uveitis.

The presence of choroidal detachment in an eye is a familiar finding most commonly seen after intraocular operation, when it occurs with a shallow or absent anterior chamber and ocular hypotony. Fuchs (I900) quoted an incidence of only 4-7 per cent. after cataract extraction, but a more accurate figure is the 59 per cent. given by Venco and Giardini (I947) relating to the immediate postoperativ...

Pneumatic retinopexy for retinal detachment associated with severe choroidal detachment.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of pneumatic retinopexy as an initial management of retinal detachment associated with hypotony, severe choroidal detachment, and vitritis. METHODS Retrospective, interventional, noncomparative case series. We included nine eyes from nine patients (six women and three men) with retinal detachment associated with hypotony, severe choro...
