Ocular traumas often cause severe and permanent vision loss. These patients should be approached systematically in general ophthalmic aspects, the necessary imaging methods applied especially cases where posterior segment cannot visualized. In this review, systematic approach steps for with trauma are discussed.

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com posterior segment FBs is derived from metal fragments. A vegetative FB such as wood may reach inner part of eye but is located usually in the anterior segment [3,4]. Animal matter such as cilia can be carried along with denser matter to the posterior segment [1,2,5]. Ocular damage caused by intraocular foreign bodies (IOFB) can occur by two mechanis...

The aim of our research was to explore possible correlation between eye aperture diameter and occurrence of complications in the posterior eye segment after Nd-YAG capsulotomy. In the study, we analyzed 120 eyes of the patients who experienced opacities in the posterior capsule or developed secondary cataract after the surgery. All patients underwent Nd-YAG laser posterior capsulotomy. Thereaft...

PURPOSE To determine the direction of blood flow in the circle of Willis using a 3-D phase contrast MR angiographic (MRA) technique with high spatial resolution. SUBJECTS Fifty healthy subjects and 15 patients with occlusive disease were studied using 3-D phase contrast MRA. RESULTS In the 50 normal subjects, 39 (78%) had detectable flow in one or both posterior communicating arteries. In 2...

Scheimpflug cross-sectioning anterior segment imaging offers significant advantages over traditional placido based curvature analysis and ultrasound pachymetry. The accurate measurement of both the anterior and posterior corneal surfaces and the anterior and posterior lens allows for the creation of a three-dimensional reconstruction of the anterior segment. Changes on both the posterior cornea...

The efficacy of drug delivery to the posterior segment by systemic, local or topical routes is hindered by the blood-retinal barrier, tight intercellular junctions and scantly vascularized spaces. Although intravitreal injection has proved effective for delivery of therapeutic agents into the vitreous cavity and retina, it is impractical for frequent or sustained dosing. Intravitreal sustained ...

BACKGROUND Anterior lumbar disc replacements are used to restore spinal alignment and kinematics of a degenerated segment. Compared to fusion of the segment, disc replacements may prevent adjacent segment degeneration. To resolve some of the deficiencies of anterior lumbar arthroplasty, such as the approach itself, difficulty of revision, and postoperative facet pain, 360° motion preservation s...

The case of a 40-year-old-man who presented to our clinic with bilateral blindness as a consequence of bomb blast injuries is reported. He had a completely opaque cornea, partially damaged posterior segment and perception of light in the right eye, while a clear cornea, totally damaged posterior segment and no light perception in the fellow eye. His corneas were successfully swapped which gave ...
