PURPOSE To report a case of anterior segment ischemia (ASI) with rubeosis iridis after circular buckling surgery in a highly-myopic patient which was successfully treated with a second intravitreal bevacizumab injection. METHODS Case report and review of the literature. DISCUSSION ASI is a rare but potentially serious complication of posterior segment surgery. Finally it leads to neovascula...

Acute posterior wall myocardial infarction (PMI) occurs in up to 20% of cases of acute myocardial infarction (MI), with the vast majority occurring along with inferior or lateral acute MI.1 A true PMI is considered more rare, with an incidence of approximately 3.3%.2 The term PMI is used for necrosis of the part of the left ventricle located beneath the atrioventricular sulcus.3 The majority of...

Fractures of the pelvic ring have been well studied, and the biomechanical relationship between the anterior and posterior elements is an important concept to understand these complex injuries. The vast majority of these injuries are due to trauma. However, in rare circumstances, autogenous bone graft harvesting may lead to an unstable pelvic ring. In this case report, we describe a rare compli...

ALTHOUGH prophylactic peripheral iridectomy is probably one of the most satisfactory operations in the whole of surgery if carefully performed on carefully selected cases, we have the clinical impression that posterior synechiae in the part of the pupil related to the iridectomy can be a common complication. Posterior synechiae following peripheral iridectomy were mentioned by Lowe (1962). The ...

Anterior cervical discectomy with or without fusion has been commonly used for cervical disc disease since the description by Smith and Robinson in 1958. In this report, surgical technique, advantages, and disadvantages of the posterior approach, known as the posterior keyhole laminotomy-foraminotomy, are reviewed and motion versus fusion surgery discussed. Between 1996 and 2004, the keyhole la...
