OBJECTIVES To determine the clinical relevance of exudative retinal detachment (ERD) and the rate of ERD resolution after plaque radiotherapy of posterior uveal melanomas. METHODS Retrospective, nonrandomized study of 135 consecutive patients with posterior uveal melanoma treated by iodine 125 plaque radiotherapy. Extent of ERD and tumor thickness were assessed before radiotherapy and at post...

purpose: to evaluate the anatomical and functional outcomes of surgical management of retinal detachments associated with choroidal colobomas methods: in this retrospective study, 31 eyes of 31 patients with coloboma-related retinal detachments enrolled. all the eyes underwent standard three-port pars plana vitrectomy with internal tamponade with nonheavy silicon oil in 24 (77.4%) or 20% sulfur...

purpose: to compare the anatomical results of scleral buckling surgery with and without retinopexy in the management of phakic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (rd). methods: in this retrospective, nonrandomized, interventional, comparative case series, data of 71 phakic eyes of 71 patients with rhegmatogenous rd that had undergone scleral buckling were evaluated. the procedure in 41 consecuti...

Canine monocytic ehrlichiosis (CME) is a tick-borne disease caused by the rickettsia Ehrlichia canis. Ocular lesions are a common feature of the disease and can be present in all stages. The purpose of this retrospective study was to determine the prevalence, type and response to treatment of ocular lesions associated with monocytic ehrlichiosis in 46 affected dogs presented to the Autonomous U...

BACKGROUND Severe vision-impairing ocular inflammation is rarely reported following extensive laser. Previous cases have involved retinal photocoagulation for diabetic retinopathy resolving over days. This report documents a rare instance of this where encircling retinopexy/cerclage was done as fellow eye retinal detachment prophylaxis in a patient with no overt comorbidities. RESULTS A panuv...

AIM: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of retinal laser coagulation in children with Coats disease.
 MATERIAL AND METHODS: The included 118 patients who were examined and treated from January 2017 December 2021; 102 them boys (86.6%) 16 girls (13.4%). All had unilateral disease. underwent a comprehensive ophthalmological examination. Laser was performed 113 using green (532...

purpose: to evaluate the effect of radiation with ruthenium-106 (ru-106) plaques in the control of retinal vasoproliferative tumors methods: this study is a retrospective, interventional nonrandomized case series. seven eyes of seven patients (four males and three females) with retinal vasoproliferative tumors were enrolled. the eyes were treated by ru-106 plaques with mean apex dose of 39 gy (...

PURPOSE To report a case of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in the late stage, despite the fact that it had previously been halted after intravitreal injection of an antimicrobial agent against endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis (EBE). CASE This study involved a 62-year-old male who had previously been diagnosed with septicemia due to liver abscess and the detection of Klebsiella pneumoni...

Purpose To describe the first published case of X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) detachment with retinal vasoproliferative tumor (RVPT) and provide a literature review of the subject. Observations The authors describe a case of a 17 year old male with X-linked retinoschisis who presented with a retinal detachment and a retinal vasoproliferative tumor. The patient was treated with pars plana vitr...

Retinal detachment (RD) is a serious condition that may lead to permanent loss of vision. Most RDs result from a tear(s) in the retina, through which liquefied vitreous enters the sub-retinal space. Rarely, however, exudative retinal detachment (ERD) occurs due to an underlying ocular or systemic condition that produces excess subretinal fluid in the absence of tears and/or tractional pull [1]....
