A Case of Accidental Macular Injury by Nd: YAG Laser and Subsequent 6 Year Follow-Up
Here, we report the case of a patient who sustained Nd: YAG laser macular injury with subsequent 6 year follow-up evaluation. A 23-year-old female was accidentally exposed to a Q-switched Nd: YAG laser without protective goggles. Upon initial evaluation, the best-corrected visual acuity of her affected eye was 20/100 OD. Fundoscopic examination revealed a macular laser burn and vitreous hemorrh...
متن کاملHuman Neural Plasticity
Neuroscience research in slice preparations and animal models within the last decade has shown that neural plasticity is a ubiquitous mechanism by which the brain represents and encodes its dynamic sensory world. This workshop considered how dynamic sensory representations are modified by experience, new methods for imaging those representations in human subjects, and applications of human neur...
متن کاملVitrectomy and Microperimetry of an Accidental Macular Hole Caused by Nd:YAG Laser
A 31-year-old man sustained a 1,064-nm Q-switched Nd:YAG laser injury to his left eye. One month after the injury, the fundus and optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination demonstrated a full-thickness macular hole of approximately 820 μm in diameter. After vitrectomy and internal limiting membrane peeling, OCT showed closure of the hole and a marked thinning of the foveal depression. Afte...

متن کاملMechanisms of neural plasticity following brain injury.
Brain insults cause rapid cell death, and a disruption of functional circuits, in the affected regions. As the injured tissue recovers from events associated with cell death, regenerative processes are activated that over months lead to a certain degree of functional recovery. Factors produced by new neurons and glia, axonal sprouting of surviving neurons, and new synapse formation help to re-e...
