Evaluation of Pentacam-Scheimpflug imaging of anterior segment parameters in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome and pseudoexfoliative glaucoma.

Background: The aim was to evaluate anterior segment parameters in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXS) or pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (PXG) with the Pentacam-Scheimpflug imaging system.

Methods: Eighty eyes of 53 patients with PXS (Group 1), 80 eyes of 57 patients with PXG (Group 2) and 80 eyes of 45 control cases (Group 3) were included in the study. Anterior chamber depth, volume (ACV), angle (ACA) width, central corneal thickness (CCT), central 3.

Vitreous vascular endothelial growth factor level during gestation.

Purpose: To evaluate the vitreous VEGF level alterations and its correlation with its plasma level if any, in gestation.

Methods: The blood and vitreous sampling procedures were performed before, during (20-23 days of gestation), and after gestation (2 months after birth) from seven White New Zealand rabbits. Blood samples were centrifuged then supernatants and vitreous samples were stored at -80 degrees C until assay.

Surgical excision, cryotherapy, autolimbal transplantation and mitomycin-C in treatment of conjunctival-corneal intraepithelial neoplasia.

Purpose: To report surgical excision, cryotherapy, autologous conjunctival-limbal transplantation and topical mitomycin C (MMC) in the patient with extensive conjunctival-corneal intraepithelial neoplasia.

Methods: Case report and literature review.

Results: A 75-year-old woman was referred to our department with the diagnosis of conjunctival-corneal neoplasia.
