Exundative* hyphaema after cataract extraction
نویسنده
چکیده
Therapeutic procedures recommended include miotics (Rychener, I944), hot and cold compresses (Kushner, 1959), and anterior chamber irrigation with proteolytic enzymes (Podos, Liebman, and Pollen, I964; Sinskey and Kricheskey, I962; Scheie, Ashley, and Weiner, 196I; Pierse and Legrice, I964). Sinskey and Kricheskey (I959) observed that neither miotics nor mydriatics had any detectable effect on the absorption of 51Cr. labelled red cells injected into the anterior chamber of rabbits. Cole and Byron (I964) suggested a combination of enzymatic irrigation of the anterior chamber and intravenous administration of urea, and Kwitko and Costenbader (I962) advised intravenous urea in the treatment of every case of hyphaema with a sustained increase in intraocular pressure. Ahuja and Kaothalkar (i 969) discussed the effect of urea, sucrose, sorbitol, and glycerol on the resorption of hyphaema using radioactive blood injected into the anterior chamber of rabbits.

LESSON OF THE MONTH Transient monocular visual loss due to uveitis-glaucoma-hyphaema (UGH) syndrome
Uveitis-glaucoma-hyphaema (UGH) syndrome is an unusual cause of transient monocular visual loss which may follow cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation. If misdiagnosed as amaurosis fugax, patients may undergo unnecessary investigations and inappropriate treatment with aspirin. (J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry 1998;65:131–132)

متن کاملVitreous haemorrhage after cataract extraction.
One hundred eyes undergoing intracapsular cataract extraction and 100 undergoing extracapsular extraction were examined prospectively within one week postoperatively and again at 6-10 weeks postoperatively. Indirect ophthalmoscopy showed vitreous haemorrhage in 36% of the intracapsular group and 13% of the extracapsular group. Vitreous haemorrhage was significantly related to the occurrence of ...
متن کاملWarfarin and cataract extraction.
Ten cataract extractions were performed on eight patients for whom warfarin was not discontinued prior to surgery. Three were complicated by hyphaema. No retrobulbar haemorrhages occurred in the four cases given a local anaesthetic. Cataract surgery can be performed successfully without discontinuing warfarin.
