Retinal Vascular Occlusions
The hallmark of clinical presentation in the retinal occlusive disease is painless loss of vision, which can be asymptomatic, gradual with only mildly reduced visual acuity, or sudden and reduced to counting fingers depending on the extent of the irrigation area of the affected vessel. The clinical presentation aids in distinguishing the type of the occlusion, which may be classified according ...
متن کاملHeterozygous Hemoglobin Sherwood Forest Causing Polycythemia
Hemoglobin (Hb) Sherwood Forest is a rare high-affinity hemoglobin first described in 1977, arising from an Arg to Thr substitution at codon 104 of the beta chain. This hemoglobin variant has been identified in few individuals and has been associated with a compensatory erythrocytosis in the homozygous state. Prior scarce case reports have noted that heterozygotes for this variant are phenotypi...
متن کاملHomocysteine in Retinal Vascular Occlusions
Elevated plasma homocysteine (hcys) has been associated with a greater risk of heart disease and stroke. A number of studies have suggested that hcys may be a contributing factor to development of various ocular disease. Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) is one of the most common vision-threatening retinal vascular diseases, affecting primarily elderly patients. Several studies have demonst...
متن کاملThe "hot stroke" and transient vascular occlusions.
Two patients with left middle cerebral artery (MCA) distribution infarctions fulfilled the "hot stroke" criteria on sequential 99m Tc pertechnetate flow and static gamma camera studies. The radioisotopic finding of a paradoxical relative increased flow to the affected hemisphere correlated with serial angiography showing multiple MCA branch occlusions becoming patent with a vascular blush and e...
متن کاملPosterior Segment Diabetic Macular Oedema
Diabetic macular oedema (DMO) is a leading cause of vision loss in the working-age population worldwide. Corticosteroid drugs have been demonstrated to inhibit the expression of both the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene and other anti-inflammatory mediators, such as prostaglandins. Triamcinolone, fluocinolone and dexamethasone are the main steroids that have been studied for the t...
