This report describes a case of retinal racemose hemangioma that first presented as vitreous hemorrhage. The authors present the 47-year-old woman with sudden 5-day painless visual loss in her left eye. At visit, best-correct acuities were 20/20 right eye and hand motions eyes. Ultrasonography showed an attached retina massive Pars plana vitrectomy was performed dilatation large vessels [...]

BACKGROUND The surgical case of a dropped intraocular lens inside the vitreous cavity constitutes a real challenge for the operating surgeon. Herein, we describe a case series where an alternative optical rehabilitation technique for late intraocular lens-bag complex dislocation has been used. METHODS A modern vitrectomy device was used to remove the capsule with the dropped intraocular lens ...

BACKGROUND To investigate the anatomic and functional outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with partial tamponade of filtered air for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) caused by superior retinal breaks. METHODS Retrospective, comparative, consecutive case series study. Patients with RRD caused by superior retinal breaks undergone PPV with partial tamponade (Group A) and whole tampona...

come clinically visible, resulting in the blue appearance of the sclera. We report the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in 4 eyes of 3 patients with OI. Scleral buckling surgery, pneumatic retinopexy, and primary vitrectomy are the standards for repair of uncomplicated rhegmatogenous retinal detachments. In patients with OI, however, the thin sclera provides an increased risk of s...

PURPOSE To investigate the outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for chronic diabetic traction macular detachment (CTMD). METHODS Ninety-six eyes that underwent PPV for CTMD of at least 6 months duration were retrospectively analyzed. Retinal reattachment rate, final vision, and prognostic factors for poor visual outcome were the main outcome measures. RESULTS All eyes had long-standing T...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of vitrectomy and internal limiting membrane peeling for treatment of macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion (RVO). METHODS Nine cases of visual loss due to macular edema caused by central retinal vein occlusion or branch retinal vein occlusion underwent pars plana vitrectomy with removal of the preretinal hyaloid, peeling of the internal limiting me...

BACKGROUND The aim of present study is to determine the long-term results of patients who undergo pars plana vitrectomy after retained nucleus into the vitreous. SETTING Service of Ophthalmology, Hospital Universitari St Joan, Reus (Barcelona), Spain. METHODS Retrospective, noncomparative, consecutive case series. Medical records were reviewed of all patients who underwent pars plana vitrec...

PURPOSE To investigate the clinical findings and outcomes of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in Stickler syndrome on affected and fellow eyes that underwent prophylactic retinopexy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Chart review of 70 eyes (62 patients). Incidence of RRD, postoperative visual acuity, and risk factors were evaluated. RESULTS Twenty-two patients (35%) had RRD in the fellow eye, 37...

OBJECTIVE To present a new surgical approach for the management of posteriorly dislocated lens by using a combination of 20-gauge (20G) and 23-gauge (23G) pars plana vitrectomy. DESIGN An interventional case series METHODS This technique was performed on six patients (five men, one woman; mean age, 66.67 years; range, 66-72 years). Two 23G trans-conjunctival sclerotomy ports were created fo...

BACKGROUND Dislocated lens fragments in the vitreous cavity can cause potentially serious complications. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the visual outcome of patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for posteriorly dislocated lens fragments after cataract phacoemulsification. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted on all consecutive cases (60 patients) with pars pla...
