INTRODUCTION Brilliant blue G is a new dye used for staining the internal limiting membrane to ease its peeling in cases like a macular hole. CASES Three patients presented with full-thickness idiopathic macular hole. They underwent pars planavitrectomy, Brilliant Blue G (BBG) stained internal limiting membrane peeling and fluid gas exchange. OBSERVATIONS Postoperatively,the macular hole cl...

OBJECTIVE To determine the pattern of functional and anatomical responses after intravitreal triamcinolone (IVTA) for macular edema in diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion, uveitis, and macular telangiectasia. MATERIAL AND METHOD A Retrospective interventional study was carried out between January 2004 and July 2006. Thirty-eight eyes from 36 patients who had undergone an IVTA injecti...

The purpose of this paper is to report a series of macular holes that developed after demarcation laser photocoagulation for subclinical retinal detachments. This observational case series consists of three eyes from three patients seen between 2005 and 2012. Delayed idiopathic macular hole formation occurred following demarcation laser photocoagulation for subclinical retinal detachment. Demar...

We present the case of a 10-year-old girl with a six months history of disseminated asymptomatic, brown pigmented macules on the trunk and proximal parts of the extremities. The clinical picture, histological findings, and the course of disease were similar to those of idiopathic eruptive macular pigmentation. The cutaneous lesions gradually disappeared over the next two years without any treat...

Indications of the surgical management of macular hole are based on the presence of a fullthickness defect (stage 2 or higher). Once this defect has developed, the potential for spontaneous resolution is low. Since the initial report by Kelly NE, the surgical technique of idiopathic macular hole has been improved (Kelly & Wendel, 1991). Currently, the most standard surgical technique for the tr...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlations between aqueous concentrations of interleukin 1β, 6, 8, 10, 12p (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12p), and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and the parameters of macular edema acquired by optical coherence tomography (OCT) in patients with choroidal neovascularization. METHODS IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12p, and TNF-α in the aqueous humor samples of 17 ...

64 Indian Dermatology Online Journal | Volume 9 | Issue 1 | January‐February 2018 Sir, We laud Subhadarshini et al.[1] for publication of their interesting case of idiopathic eruptive macular pigmentation in an Indian male. As they have pointed out this case differs from others described earlier in two aspects, namely, the persistence of lesions unchanged for 16 years and an aggravation thereaf...
