Retinal detachments were produced in domestic cats by injecting fluid between the retinal pigment epithelium and neural retina. Retinas were allowed to remain detached for 30 or 60 days at which time the animals were killed. Tissue areas from detached and attached retinal regions from the same eye were processed for correlative biochemical and structural analysis, i.e. SDS-PAGE and Western blot...

BACKGROUND Ocular toxoplasmosis is a potentially blinding cause of posterior uveitis. Retinal detachment is rare complication of ocular toxoplasmosis. AIM To report the clinical course and prognosis of retinal breaks and detachments occurring in patients with ocular toxoplasmosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study was a retrospective, non-comparative case series of five patients with ocular t...

Cataract surgery is the most frequent surgical intervention, with approximately 700,000 operations per year in Germany alone. One of the most serious complications is retinal detachment, with a reported incidence rate of pseudophakic retinal detachment of 0.75-1.65%. We report the case of a patient who suffered from a simultaneous bilateral pseudophakic retinal detachment. Interestingly, the bi...

126 cases of retinal breaks treated in our department by photocoagulation during a period of 10 years (1963-1973) were selected for a close annual follow-up. Eliminated from the study were cases of macular holes, breaks which developed in an eye after retinal detachment surgery, and cases in which a close follow-up was impossible for various reasons. The study includes symptomatic retinal break...

All RDs are accompanied by some loss of visual function but this will vary depending upon the type of detachment, its size, and retinal location, making it difficult to ascribe one set of symptoms to the condition (Box 71.3). Diagnosing RD is complex with many qualifications. Abnormal vision is the only reliable symptom of RD. But the types of abnormal vision are large and varied: light flashes...

*corresponding author: [email protected] purpose: to compare the visual and anatomical outcomes and complications of two surgical methods in patients with pseudophakic / aphakic retinal detachment (pard) using propensity score analysis. methods: in this study, the propensity score matching was used as a new approach to control confounding factors. propensity score was calculated using the...
