PURPOSE To examine the incidence and pattern of iris transillumination defects in patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) with and without vascular dysregulation, in comparison to controls. METHODS We prospectively examined 24 patients with POAG (M/F 10:14; mean age 59 +/- 14, range 21-76 years) and 23 controls (M/F 10:13; mean age 52 +/- 15, range 25-86 years). Vascular dysregulatio...

In contrast to size, the association of morphological characteristics of intracranial aneurysms with rupture has not been established in a systematic manner. We present an analysis of the morphological variables that are associated with rupture in anterior communicating artery aneurysms to determine site-specific risk variables. One hundred and twenty-four anterior communicating artery aneurysm...

AIM To examine a possible relationship between the variable vascular geometry of vertebrobasilar joint angle and basilar bifurcation angle as well as the diameters of these blood vessels. METHODS The study included 60 adult patients, of both sexes, who were divided into two groups. One group (30) consisted of patients without aneurysm of vertebrobasilar tree, and another group (30) of patient...

In order to study peripapillary perfusion, one randomly selected eye of 34 healthy volunteers and 40 glaucoma patients (27 suffering from primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) 10 from normal pressure glaucoma (NPG) and three from other types of glaucoma) was studied with a Heidelberg Retina Flowmeter. Temporal flow adjacent to the disc edge was significantly higher than the nasal flow (p < 0.01). ...

vascular lesions rise from abnormalities in blood vessels or endothelial proliferation . capillary hemangiomas are formed by small capillaries surrounded by a layer of endothelial cells in a connective tissue stroma . various treatments are used for these conditions like excisional surgery , sclerotherapy, and recently laser irradiation. in this case study, we report successful treatment of int...

purpose : to report clinical and pathologic result of a young patient with isolated cavernous hemangioma of conjunctiva case report : a 26-year-old man who presented with smooth, red, lobular surface mass was seen in the bulbar conjunctiva in temporal side with engorged episcleral and conjunctival vessels around the lesion. excisional biopsy was performed. pathologist confirmed the diagnosis of...

purpose: to evaluate visual outcomes and intraocular pressure (iop) after single-site phacotrabeculectomy with mitomycin c in patients with senile cataract and primary open angle glaucoma (poag), pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (pxg), or chronic angle closure glaucoma (cacg). methods: in this retrospective study, patients older than 50 years who had significant cataracts (bcva £ 20/60) and uncontrol...

Ophthalmologic complications of nonocular surgeries are rare events, but can lead to irreversible conditions low visual acuity. They often associated with spine, heart and neck surgery, however they occur after procedures on other systems. The main local causes ischemic optic neuropathies, vascular occlusions, cortical lesions, acute angle-closure glaucoma. We report two cases sudden acuity sec...

hemangioma of the ovary is reported in a 66 years old woman. vascular tumors of the female genital tract are rare, especially those of the ovaiy. most cases are discovered incidentally. the case presented here was missed clinically.

Secondary hemifacial spasm (HFS) occurs by a conflict between the facial nerve and intracranial pathology, such as cerebellopontine angle tumor or vascular abnormality like arteriovenous malformation (AVM) aneurysm. HFS caused AVM is rare, optimal combination of treatment options has not been established. with without microvascular decompression (MVD) was provided in previous studies, outcomes ...
