PURPOSE To report the immediate complication of dense vitreous hemorrhage after intravitreal injection of tissue plasminogen activator and gas for treatment of two cases of sudden submacular hemorrhage associated with retinal arterial macroaneurysm. METHODS Case reports. RESULTS Two patients, a 67-year-old woman and a 92-year-old man, presented with sudden vision loss related to submacular ...

An alternative theory is proposed to explain the brain edema and hemorrhage that may occur after resection of high-flow intracerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVM's). This theory, termed "occlusive hyperemia," is based on a retrospective analysis of operative dictations along with postoperative imaging studies (191 angiograms and 273 computerized tomography scans) in 295 cases of intracereb...

A total of 165 camels of different ages were castrated through a small, prescrotal midline incision between January, 2010 and December, 2011. The incision was closed with one interrupted, horizontal mattress suture using USP-2 chromic catgut. In 14/165 animals (8.5%) postoperative infection (sepsis) developed, which healed in two to three weeks after open wound management. The remaining 151 ani...

BACKGROUND Postoperative hemorrhage is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality following liver resection. It typically presents early within the postoperative period, and conservative management is possible in the majority of cases. We present a case of late post-hepatectomy hemorrhage associated with overt abdominal compartment syndrome resulting from a localized functional compartment ...

To clarify the effect of surgery on the prevention cerebral hemorrhage in adult moyamoya disease, we compared postoperative courses between superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) anastomosis and conservative therapy. The study subjects were 30 adults with moyamoya disease. Unilateral STA-MCA anastomosis was conducted in 7 of these 30 cases, and bilateral STA-MCA anastomosi...
