Neurotrophic keratitis (NK) is a rare degenerative disease of the cornea caused by an impairment of corneal sensory innervation, characterized by decreased or absent corneal sensitivity resulting in epithelial keratopathy, ulceration, and perforation. The aetiopathogenesis of corneal sensory innervation impairment in children recognizes the same range of causes as adults, although they are much...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the effectiveness and usefulness of contact topical anesthesia in strabismus surgery in adult patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS A prospective study was conducted on 20 patients undergoing strabismus surgery using contact topical anesthesia and sedation with remifentanil. The intensity of pain was recorded using a numeric pain rating scale at the time of anesthesia implementa...

Purpose: To determine whether the changes in the ocular alignment following general anesthesia, maintained with two different inhalational anesthetic agents, sevoflurane and desflurane, can be used as a predictor for surgical outcomes in children with esotropia. Methods: The authors obtained digital photographs of 42 children with esotropia; 21 patients underwent strabismus surgery with general...

Measurements of the temperature of the various parts of the rabbit eye under both local and general Nembutal anesthesia were made ivith the thermistor as the temperature-measuring device at a room temperature of 22 to 24° C, and a relative humidity of 33 to 53 per cent. The equipment and its calibration are described in detail. The existence of a temperature difference of 6° C. (corrected for t...

The main objective of this study was to compare the effects of ketamine and xylazine in aging rats when coadministered intraperitoneally at high anesthetic doses. Three groups (n=6 rats/group) consisting of rats at 3, 6 and 12 months of age were used. During anesthesia, animals were monitored for heart rate, respiratory frequency, blood oxygen saturation, and rectal temperature. The corneal and...

Furthermore, it aims document successful regression CRS through medical treatment alone. We present five-day-old infant who was referred our facility as case. patient presented with bilateral white corneal opacity, which observed shortly a...

Enucleation is one of the most frequently performed orbital surgeries. Indications for enucleation include a blind, painful eye; ocular neoplasia; severe corneal or intra-ocular infection; and ocular trauma not amenable to surgical repair. Several publications recommend that equine enucleation only be performed under general anesthesia. However, per several recent reports, enucleation can be pe...

OBJECTIVE To describe a surgical modification of deep lamellar endothelial keratoplasty (DLEK) and posterior lamellar keratoplasty (PLK) procedures, to facilitate surgery on standing horses under-sedation. ANIMALS STUDIED Four client-owned horses, for which the owners declined surgery under general anesthesia, underwent standing corneal lamellar keratoplasty procedures for the treatment of de...

Background: Silicone is used a temponarding agent vitreoretinal procedures and have to be removed according the duration temponard required it associated with complications like development acceleration cataract devlopment , secondary open ...

Rabbits are widely used as laboratory animals for experimental surgery. Anesthesia of rabbits may present complications unless the method is easy to apply and safe to use. In present study, effects of different dosages of vitamin C on thiopental sodium induced anesthesia in 25 male New Zealand white rabbits were studied. In the animals that had not received vitamin C treatment before thiopental...
