Peripheral Retinal Neovascularization with Vitreous Hemorrhage in HIV Retinopathy
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of peripheral retinal neovascularization and vitreous hemorrhage in the setting of HIV retinopathy that can serve to extend the clinical spectrum of this condition. A 53-year-old African-American woman with AIDS was referred for decreased vision in the left eye and was found to have peripheral retinal neovascularization and vitreous hemorrhage. She had a workup that was negative for etiologies of retinal ischemia. Peripheral laser photocoagulation was used to treat areas of nonperfusion. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of peripheral retinal neovascularization and vitreous hemorrhage in the setting of HIV retinopathy, and it can serve to extend the clinical spectrum of this condition.

Intravitreal bevacizumab treatment for retinal neovascularization and vitreous hemorrhage in proliferative diabetic retinopathy
PURPOSE To report the short term anatomical and visual acuity response after intravitreal injection of bevacizumab in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy. METHODS Ten eyes having proliferative diabetic retinopathy were treated with at least one intravitreal injection of bevacizumab, 1.25 mg in 0.05 mL.

PURPOSE To analyze differences in ultra-widefield fluorescein angiography (UWFFA) findings between patients with recurrent postvitrectomy diabetic vitreous hemorrhage (PVDVH) and patients with non-PVDVH (NPVDVH). METHODS Patients were categorized as PVDVH when vitreous hemorrhage recurred after diabetic vitrectomy. Age-matched control diabetic patients in whom vitreous hemorrhage did not recu...

Prospective examination of the ocular fundi was carried out in the newborn female sibling of a girl with incontinentia pigmenti and bilateral retinopathy. At age 3 months the new baby's peripheral retina was found to be avascular in both eyes. At age 2 years progressive vascular proliferation at the watershed area between normal and abnormal retina led to bilateral vitreous haemorrhage. The new...

Retinal neovascularization is observed in progression of diabetic retinopathy. New vessels grow into the vitreous cavity in proliferative diabetic retinopathy, resulting in traction retinal detachment and vitreous hemorrhage. To overcome the catastrophic visual loss due to these complications, efforts have been focused on the treatment of retinal neovascularization. In this study, we demonstrat...
متن کاملClinical and histopathologic features of canine oxygen-induced proliferative retinopathy.
PURPOSE In previous studies the morphologic features of the acute vaso-obliterative and vasoproliferative stages of oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) were quantified and described in the dog model of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). In the present study the sequelae of these events were examined using fluorescein angiography and histologic, enzyme, and immunohistochemical techniques. METHODS ...
