OBJECTIVES To retrospectively analyse inflammatory involvement of the ophthalmic arteries in patients with GCA utilizing high-resolution MRI. METHODS A cohort of 50 patients with GCA who had been examined by 1.5 or 3T high-field MRI was analysed retrospectively in a consensus reading for possible involvement of the ophthalmic arteries. In 43 patients, entire orbits were within the field of vi...

We present new results of observations of the 6708 Å line in twelve CP stars made with three telescopes: the ESO CAT telescope, the Crimean Observatory (CrAO) 2.6-m telescope, and the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT). Unique profile and wavelength variations of the line at 6708 Å were discovered in two stars, HD 60435 and HD 83368. We present arguments in favour of the identification of this feat...

© 2017 Journal of ophthalmic and Vision research | published by Wolters KluWer medKnoW A 5‐year‐old girl presented to the emergency department with a 6‐day history of sudden painless vision loss in the right eye without any history of prior trauma, pain, infection, malignancy, or other known systemic diseases. Her best corrected visual acuity was no light perception (NLP) in the right eye and 2...

Postoperative visual loss is a devastating perioperative complication. The commonest aetiologies are anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (AION), posterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (PION), and central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO). These appear to be related to certain types of operation, most commonly spinal and cardiac bypass procedures; with the rest divided between: major trauma causing ...

• Making the correct ophthalmic diagnosis Acute visual loss is when the known duration of visual loss is short, to be distinguished from when the patient accidentally discovers a longer-standing visual loss. The elderly patient (the group most affected by CRAO), is frequently unaware of the loss of vision in one eye, until they happen to close the other eye (i.e., a foreign body in the “good” e...

BACKGROUND Blindness after spinal surgery is a rare complication, but it is serious, irreversible and incurable. Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is rare after spinal surgery and ophthalmoplegia is even rarer. CASE A 52-year-old male patient complained of loss of vision in right eye immediately after cervical spine surgery. On examination, the patient's visual acuity in right eye was a...

BACKGROUND Ocular vascular occlusions following intraocular procedures are a rare complication. We report a case series of patients with retinal vascular occlusions or anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) after anterior and posterior segment surgery and demonstrate possible risk factors. METHODS Observational case series. RESULTS In ten patients, vascular occlusions were observed withi...

Purpose. To present a series of retinal disease cases that were imaged by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in order to illustrate the potential and limitations of this new imaging modality. Methods. The series comprised four selected cases (one case each) of age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), diabetic retinopathy (DR), central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO), and bran...

results this review explores the relationship between metabolic syndrome, including all its components, and various ocular conditions such as retinopathy, central retinal artery occlusion, cataract and elevated intraocular pressure. context metabolic syndrome (metabolic syndrome x) is a prevalent cluster of risk factors that include high bmi, hypertension, insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. i...
