Stickler syndrome (SS) is an autosomal dominant inherited genetic disorder that presents with hearing loss, a cleft palate, epiphyseal dysplasia, and degeneration, similar to arthritis well known be associated rhegmato-genous retinal detachments. A particular group of physical features called Pierre Robin sequence also common in people stickler syndrome. includes glossoptosis, micrognathia. We ...

This retrospective observational case series on eyes from three patients was done to elucidate the developmental mechanism of spontaneous reattachment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (SRRRD). The study eyes of each patients showed evidence of retinal break and diffuse retinal pigmentary change. Ultrasound biomicroscopic examination revealed vitreous fibers attached to the area around the r...

PURPOSE To assess the impact of phacoemulsification performed one week before pars plana vitrectomy versus combined phacovitrectomy on postoperative anterior segment status and final functional and anatomical outcomes in phakic patients affected by complex rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. METHODS The authors retrospectively reviewed the records of 59 phakic patients affected by complex rheg...

Aim of Study: To assess the preoperative risk factors implicated in increasing the risk of surgical failure in primary retinal detachment surgery using the 23-G vitrectomy platform. Methods: Eighty eyes suffering from primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were treated with 23-gauge transconjunctival vitrectomy. A comprehensive ophthalmological examination including the duration of the detac...

PURPOSE To investigate the expression profile of intravitreous cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment associated with choroidal detachment (RRDCD) in comparison with patients with only rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). METHODS Twenty RRDCD patients and 30 RRD patients were included in this case-control study. A multiplex bead-based ...
