Intraocular haemorrhage as a complication of pneumoencephalography.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ocular fundi of 20 patients were examined before and after pneumoencephalography. In four of these, fresh venous retinal haemorrhages were seen, and a further patient had developed an exudate. Possible reasons for a rise in retinal venous pressure include bodily inverting the patient, compression of the thorax, the use of positive pressure respiration, and the air injection itself. It may be advisable to take steps to limit the effects of such possible causative factors.

Good functional recovery following intervention for delayed suprachoroidal haemorrhage post bleb needling: a case report
INTRODUCTION Bleb needling is a recognised procedure in the management of patients with failing trabeculectomies. Suprachoroidal haemorrhage can occur as an unusual complication. We report a pseudophakic man who had early surgical intervention for this complication. This intervention may have contributed to the good recovery of his visual acuity and the minimum changes to his visual fields. C...

In the last trimester of an uncomplicated pregnancy a woman developed a spontaneous vitreous haemorrhage. She was later diagnosed as having HELLP syndrome, a recently described disorder comprising haemolytic anaemia, elevated liver enzymes, and a low platelet count in women with severe pre-eclampsia or eclampsia. We believe this rare complication of pregnancy to be the cause of the intraocular ...

Myelography and pneumoencephalography are invasive procedures with many complications. We report two cases of esotropia that developed 8 and 7 days after a Pantopaque myelogram and a pneumoencephalogram, respectively . Fortunately , the esotropia was temporary in both cases. This rare complication, of which very few radiologists are aware, was presumably secondary to the lumbar puncture perform...
متن کاملRetinal haemorrhage as a complication of gas encephalography and gas myelography. Prospective study using oxgen gas with a discussion of pathogenetic mechanisms.
Seventy patients, submitted to oxygen encephalography and oxygen myelography, were examined by retinal funduscopy to establish the incidence of intraocular haemorrhages, a complication reported to be frequent by other investigators. We did not discover any retinal haemorrhages. Pathogenetic factors influencing intracranial or intraocular venous pressure or both are discussed, particularly the e...
متن کاملExpulsive choroidal haemorrhage: an experimental study.
The closure of 2 or more vortex veins in rabbits' eyes results in a persistent rise in intraocular pressure. In these circumstances a small opening into the anterior chamber at the corneoscleral limbus resulted in an iris prolapse, while a larger limbal wound was immediately followed by a massive choroidal expulsive haemorrhage. It appears from this experimental study that a definite and persis...
