Iridociliary Body Metastasis of Atypical Carcinoid: Case Management with Intravitreal Anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Injections.

We report a rare case involving a 52-year-old female diagnosed with an atypical bronchial carcinoid tumor with metastases to the mediastinum, hilar lymph nodes, breast, and pancreas. In additional, the patient had metastases to the iris and ciliary body, resulting in progressive vision loss in her left eye. Treatment was successful by intravitreal injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor.

A Case of Refractory Childhood Glaucoma Secondary to Weill-Marchesani Syndrome: Management with Combined CO Laser-Assisted Sclerectomy Surgery and Trabeculectomy.

A 2-year-old girl was diagnosed as Weill-Marchesani syndrome with typical systemic features of short stature, short and stubby hands and feet, language disorders and mental retardation. He developed bilateral angle closure glaucoma, ectopia lentis and suffered visual loss from the ocular features of Weill-Marchesani syndrome. The child was successfully treated by combined CO laser-assisted sclerectomy surgery and trabeculectomy.

Phacoemulsification, Intraocular Lens Implantation, Goniosynechialysis, and Pseudo-Pupilloplasty for Refractory Acute Primary Angle Closure with Atonic Dilated Pupil.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of prompt phacoemulsification, intraocular lens implantation, visco-goniosynechialysis, combined with pseudo-pupilloplasty for refractory acute primary angle closure (APAC) with atonic dilated pupil and to describe a feasible method of pupilloplasty. Methods A consecutive series of refractory APAC patients who had atonic dilated pupil and undergone prompt phacoemulsification combined with pseudo-pupilloplasty at our center were retrospectively analyzed. Pseudo-pupilloplasty referred to a method of pupilloplasty which included 4.

[Application of Ultrasound Biomicroscopy in Longterm Follow-up Post Modified CO Laser-assisted Sclerectomy Surgery].

Objective To observe the role of ultrasound biomicroscopy(UBM)in two-year post-operative follow-up for primary open-angle glaucoma patients with modified CO laser-assisted sclerectomy surgery(CLASS).Methods This was a case series study.A combination of modified CLASS and preoperative laser iris management was administered to 28 eyes.

Comparison of aqueous humor levels of PlGF and VEGF in proliferative diabetic retinopathy before and after intravitreal conbercept injection.

Aims: The aim of this paper is to observe the change of aqueous humor levels of placenta growth factor (PlGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) patients before and one week after intravitreal conbercept injection.

Methods: A prospective case series study was conducted in 24 active PDR patients (24 eyes). All the patients had received 0.

Bilateral Choroidal Occlusion in Antiphospholipid Syndrome Associated with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

This article reports a rare case of bilateral choroidal occlusion that occurred in a 24-year-old woman with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). This young lady concurred with aorta ventralis thrombosis and bilateral iliac artery occlusion when presented, and experienced a rapid deterioration of vision. She also has a history of recurrent miscarriage.

[Peripapillary choroidal thickness in primary open angle glaucoma and normal subjects measured by enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography].

Objective: To compare peripapillary choroidal thickness (CT) between primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and normal subjects using enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT).

Methods: This research was a cross-sectional study. A 360-degree 3.

[Analysis of fundus fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography and choroidal thickness in central serous chorioretinopathy].

Objective: To evaluate the characteristics of choroidal thickness changes and abnormalities in choroidal circulation in cases of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).

Methods: This was a case control study, we measured the bilateral choroidal thickness in 21 patients with unilateral CSC and 24 eyes of 24 age- and sex-matched normal subjects using enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT). The choroid was measured from the posterior edge of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) to the choroid-scleral junction at 500 µm intervals of a horizontal section from 3 mm temporal to the fovea to 3 mm nasal to the fovea.

[Expression of Nogo-A, NgR mRNA and protein in the retina of rats with chronic elevated intraocular pressure].

Objective: To investigate the expression of Nogo-A and its receptor NgR mRNA and protein in the retina of rats with chronic elevated intraocular pressure (IOP).

Methods: Experimental study. Rat chronic ocular hypertension (OHT) was induced by obstructing episcleral veins and temporal limber veins.

[Novel exploration of emergency treatment for ueitic acute angle closure glacuma].

Objective: To explore the effects of anterior chamber paracentesis plus pupillary block relief under slit-lamp microscope for the emergency treatment of uveitic acute angle closure glaucoma (ACG).

Methods: In early stage, 14 uveitc acute ACG patients received anterior chamber paracentesis plus pupillary block relief while another 10 uveitc acute ACG patients underwent laser peripheral iridectomy (LPI). The intraocular pressure (IOP), degree of Tyndall, degree of pupillary block and severe adverse events were recorded at each observation timepoint.

Factors related to prognosis of refractory glaucoma with diode laser transscleral cyclophotocoagulation treatment.

Objective: To evaluate the predictive factors of refractory glaucoma treated with diode laser transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (TSCP) in a midterm observation.

Methods: Fifty-four consecutive patients (54 eyes) with refractory glaucoma were enrolled and underwent TSCP (power of 1.5-2.

[Long-term outcomes of laser peripheral iridectomy for primary angle closure glaucoma].

Objective: To explore the long-term efficacy and safety of laser peripheral iridectomy for primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG).

Methods: It was a retrospective case series study. Data were collected from those patients who received laser peripheral iridectomy (LPI) for acute or chronic PACG from April 1992 through October 2002 at the Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

[Effects of central corneal thickness and corneal curvature on measurement of intraocular pressure with Goldmann applanation tonometer and non-contact tonometer].

Objective: To investigate the effects of central corneal thickness (CCT) and corneal curvature (CC) on intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements by the Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) and the non-contact tonometer (NCT).

Methods: One hundred and twenty patients were recruited from the clinic of Peking Union Medical College Hospital. The CCT was measured by ultrasound pachymetry and the mean radius of CC by using Canon PK-5 refractometer.
