A 28-year-old man with an anterior mediastinal mass underwent total thymectomy. The surgical specimen showed multilocular cysts and nodules. On microscopic examination, the were lined by squamoid epithelium, consistent thymic tumors showing two different histologic features identified. One tumor component was composed of sheets monotonous, oval-to-round nuclei pale cytoplasm indistinct cell bor...

PURPOSE To investigate the relationship between spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) findings and visual outcomes following resolution of macular edema in central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). METHODS Patients with recent onset CRVO who had undergone SD-OCT and fluorescein angiography (FA) exams on the day of initial presentation were included. All patients had resolution of...

purpose : to report a patient with branch retinal vein occlusion (brvo) and serologic evidence of primary cytomegalovirus (cmv) infection case report : we have reported a 27-year-old male with a complaint of sudden decrease in right eye vision starting a few days before. results : immunoglobulin g (igg) seroconversion indicated primary cmv infection. conclusion : involvement and obstruction of ...

BACKGROUND Predicting how patients with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) will respond to intravitreal anti-VEGF is challenging. The purpose of this study was to identify pre-treatment clinical features in CRVO that predict visual acuity (VA) following intravitreal ranibizumab. METHODS Medical records, fundus images and optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans of treatment naïve patients ...

Purpose Retinal ischemia has been traditionally assessed by fluorescein angiography, visualizing perfused vessels. However, this method does not provide any information about nonperfused vessels, and although it is often assumed that vessels in ischemic areas regress, we know little about how nonperfused retinal vessels change over time. Here, we aim to learn more about the long-term fate of no...

PURPOSE To report micro- and ultrastructural features of internal limiting membranes (ILMs) in various maculopathies and to evaluate the effects of indocyanine green (ICG) and triamcinolone acetonide (TA) on epiretinal proliferations associated with ILM and on retinal cleavage plane. METHODS ILMs from various maculopathies were evaluated regarding presence or absence of membrane-associated ce...

PURPOSE To study the long-term clinical outcome through assessment of anatomical and functional results, as well as complications of eyes affected with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) that underwent radial optic neurotomy (RON). METHODS Retrospective, observational and descriptive study of 47 eyes corresponding to 47 patients affected by CRVO. All the eyes underwent RON performed by the...

We developed a new surgical treatment in which a microneedle is used for retinal endovascular cannulation to treat eyes with central retinal vein occlusion by flushing thrombus out of the central retinal vein as it passes through the lamina cribrosa. The eyes of 12 consecutive patients (12 eyes) with central retinal vein occlusion were successfully treated using this novel treatment. At 24 week...

A retrospective study of 95 patients with retinal vein occlusion was carried out to determine the clinical presentation and pattern of distribution in the local Malaysian population. There was no significant difference found in its distribution with regards to sex. In comparing branch retinal vein occlusion with central retinal vein occlusion, no significant differences were found in its racial...

a 41-year-old man was referred with a complaint of visual loss in his left eye and his best corrected visual acuity was 20/80. slit lamp examination showed arborizing conjunctival vessels and dry eye. fundus examination and fluorescein angiography revealed a non-ischemic central retinal vein occlusion. cardiovascular, rheumatologic, and hematologic work up showed no abnormal findings. an ascert...
