Newly Recognized Serous Macular Detachment in Retinal Vascular Disease Serous macular detachment has only recently been recognized to occur in a significant number of eyes with retinal vascular leakage, including diabetic macular edema,1,2 branch retinal vein occlusion,3–5 central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO),6 and hypotony maculopathy.7 These serous retinal detachments associated with retinal...

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading health concern and a major cause of blindness. DR can be complicated by scar tissue formation, macular edema, and tractional retinal detachment. Optical coherence tomography has found that patients with DR often have diffuse retinal thickening, cystoid macular edema, posterior hyaloid traction, and tractional retinal detachment. Newer imaging techniques ca...

AIM To determine the frequency of ciliary body or retinal breaks and retinal detachment in eyes with atopic cataract. METHODS The records of 106 eyes (74 patients) with atopic cataract that underwent cataract extraction were reviewed. The frequency of ciliary body or retinal breaks and retinal detachment was classified by their presence preoperatively and postoperatively, and by cataract type...

BACKGROUND To describe the clinical features, visual outcomes, and therapeutic complications of patients with retinal capillary hemangiomas. METHODS A retrospective, non-comparative, observational case study of patients diagnosed with retinal capillary hemangiomas was conducted. Twelve patients (13 eyes) at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital of Kaohsiung from July 1987 to June 2001 were reviewed. P...

PURPOSE To determine the risk of new retinal tear or detachment following cataract surgery in eyes that had undergone successful repair of phakic retinal tear or detachment. METHODS A computerized search of records of patients evaluated at the Barnes Retina Institute from 1990 to 2000 for a diagnosis of phakic retinal tear or detachment was accomplished. The records of successfully treated pa...

Introduction: To highlight the therapeutic dilemma in managing complications high myopia patient with complicated cataract after vitrectomy who previously had refractive surgery.
 Case Report: A 37-years old man, presented half right eye view was being blocked by a black curtain for one week before admission. He history of on both eyes and underwent phakic intraocular lens (PIOL) implantat...

PURPOSE To determine the natural history of asymptomatic, clinical rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. DESIGN Single observer, prospective, consecutive, observational case series. METHODS Consecutive patients were included who were referred to the author's clinical practice with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment extending greater than two disk-diameters posterior to the equator. Patients who...

For 6 weeks the parents of a 4-year-old girl had noticed a difference between the two eyes of their child. Ophtalmological examination revealed leukocoria. This finding raised clinical suspicion of retinoblastoma. MRI was performed. On T2 weighted images a hypointense mass relative to the vitreous humor was evident. There were several hypointensities compatible with calcifications. An area of r...
