Case Presentation summary A 38-year-old Ethiopian man with a history of anterior uveitis in the right eye for 7 months presented to his retina specialist with anterior chamber inflammation, vitritis, optic disc edema, and a yellow focus of chorioretinitis in the right eye. His prior workup was also notable for a history of antinuclear antibody positivity. The patient was promptly referred to th...

Vitreous hemorrhages are important clinical manifestations of proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Non-cleared vitreous hemorrhages could lead to hemosiderosis bulbi and glaucoma. Here, we describe the case of a type 2 diabetic patient presenting anterior segment and vitreous hemorrhages that resolved three days after treatment with a single intravitreal injection of dobesilate.

We retrospectively assessed the diagnostic value of cerebral arteriography for the search of an etiology in 102 patients with nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhages evaluated between 1980 and 1985. Arteriography was diagnostic in 22 of 50 non-hypertensive patients and in only 6 of 47 hypertensive patients. Five patients with a bleeding diathesis had normal arteriography. From the total group, w...

Primary angiitis of the CNS is histopathologically characterized by ischemic lesions and small petechial hemorrhages. Unlike CT or conventional MR imaging, gradient-echo MR imaging depicts these chronic petechial hemorrhages. We herein report the case of biopsy-proved primary angiitis of the CNS in a 42-year-old man; whom gradient-echo MR imaging revealed multiple petechial hemorrhages in the c...

Among 800 neonates screened for cerebral bleeding, perinatal sonography identified 35 preterm neonates with intraparenchymal hemorrhage (IPH). The observed IPHs were categorized in five general groups: classical grade-IV hemorrhage (16 patients), grade-IV hemorrhage with coexisting but anatomically separate hemorrhages (four patients), grade-IV hemorrhage with later development of secondary par...

Cerebral hemorrhages are one of the most important causes of death in hypertensive subjects in Japan. Throughout the world, however, there have been a few studies of the pathogenesis of cerebral hemorrhages. In this paper, cerebral hemorrhages were produced by experimental renal hypertension. The fibrinoid necrosis of the small arteries and arterioles in the brain seemed to be the primary patho...
