purpose : evaluating the effects of memantine on visual function after scleral buckling for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (rrd) methods : in a double blind prospective randomized clinical trial, 61 patients with clinical diagnosis of less than 4 weeks macula-off rrd who had successful scleral buckle surgery had been selected and divided into two randomized groups. thirty of them received 5 ...

PURPOSE To identify the unique pathologic findings of retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP) in optical coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS Retrospectively, 29 eyes of 25 patients with age-related macular degeneration and complicated RAP were analyzed. All 29 eyes had choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in the area of pigment epithelial detachment (PED) or adjacent to it, which was visible wi...

We present a brief description of acute retinal necrosis, rare and severe condition that is accompanied by rapid development inflammatory occlusive events in the vasculature preceding peripheral necrotizing retinitis. Despite successful etiotropic conservative therapy, disease complicated proliferative vitreoretinopathy with high risk detachment, leading to irreversible loss sight. clinical cas...

A consecutive series of 114 eyes (112 patients) undergoing pars plana vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment not complicated by severe proliferative vitreoretinopathy is presented (follow up 1 to 4 years; mean 19 months). The indications for vitrectomy fell into two main groups: (1) where the retinal view was poor and vitrectomy was required to clear media opacities to allow identific...

Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment associated with choroidal detachment (RRDCD) is a complicated and serious type of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). In this study, we identified differentially expressed proteins in the vitreous humors of RRDCD and RRD using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) combined with nano-liquid chromatography-electrospray ion trap-mass sp...

to review the available data regarding the current management of non-complex rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and to propose a new decision-making algorithm aimed to improve the single surgery success rate for mid-severity rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, this study performed. an online review of pubmed database was performed, searching for all available manuscripts regarding anatomical and ...

Fifty patients with retinal detachment accompanied by vitreous haemorrhage, perforating eye injuries, intraocular foreign bodies, massive preretinal retraction,.giant tears greater than 180 degrees, and proliferative retinopathies underwent pars plana vitrectomy, cryocoagulation, scleral buckling, and intravitreal gas injection. Intraoperative complications included minimal to moderate bleeding...

Retrobulbar anesthesia (block) is used for many ocular surgeries, whereas it is well known that this procedure has complications such as for retrobulbar hemorrhage, globe perforation, optic nerve injury and brain stem anesthesia. In this report, we present a unique case in the literature of isolated exudative retinal detachment (RD) secondary to iatrogenic retrobulbar hemorrhage. A 73-year-old ...
