Peribulbar anaesthetic blocks were administered to 70 patients and the intraocular pressure (IOP) measured immediately before and within 1 minute of the injections. In 10 patients IOPs were recorded at 1 minute intervals for 15 minutes after injection and then compared with the IOPs recorded in 60 patients after 5 or 10 minutes of Honan balloon ocular compression. The IOP rose significantly aft...

To evaluate in intraoperative complications of MSICS performed by Junior Residents and to compare the incidences major first six months training versus last training. It is a retrospective type study. From March 2018 February 2019 total 293 manual SICS were conducted Department Ophthalmology. Each patients underwent detailed ophthalmological examination preoperatively under peribulbar anesthesi...

The effect of peribulbar anaesthesia on optic nerve function in 20 patients, before and after cataract surgery, was measured. All the patients had decreased visual acuity. Five (25%) had no perception of light. Seventeen (85%) developed a relative afferent pupil defect (RAPD). No patients saw the operating instruments. Seven (35%) had improved visual acuity immediately postoperatively. Patients...

AIM Two prospective studies were carried out in order to investigate (1) the rise in intraocular pressure (IOP) following peribulbar anaesthesia with a fixed volume of anaesthetic agent administered by a single surgeon, and (2) the efficacy of ocular compression with the Honan balloon for lowering IOP. Glaucomatous eyes were excluded from both studies. METHODS In study group 1, 36 eyes of 36 ...

IMPORTANCE The histopathologic diagnosis of alopecia areata (AA) may be difficult in the chronic stage in which the presence of a peribulbar lymphocytic infiltrate is not definite. An eosinophilic infiltrate has been reported as a relatively common histopathologic finding and a helpful diagnostic feature in AA. OBJECTIVE To investigate the frequency and diagnostic usefulness of an eosinophili...
