Purpose: To evaluate the presence of choroidal neovascularization (CN) and their sequels in patient bearing angioid streaks (AE).
Methods: Case records of patients assisted from 1976 to 2006 at the Instituto Suel Abujamra located in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, were analyzed retrospectively. Age, skin color; patient complaints at the first evaluation, visual acuity, fundoscopic aspects with special attention to disciform lesions to active or scarred subretinal CN were considered.
Purpose: To evaluate the behavior of the scotopic Oscillatory Potentials (OP) of total field electroretinogram (ERG) in hypertensive retinopathy.
Methods: Forty-four patients (n=44) were submitted to clinical evaluation and subdivided in to 2 groups: hypertensives (HT) and normotensives (NT). The hypertensives patients were maintained under placebo during the period of the study.
Purpose: To describe the relation between visual results and macular morphology through optical coherence tomography (OCT) in patients submitted to removal of the idiopathic epiretinal membranes.
Methods: Ten eyes of ten patients with diagnosis of idiopathic epiretinal membranes underwent standard 20-G pars plana vitrectomy. Posterior hyaloid attachments were identified and dealt with.
The authors report a case of a patient with coronary insufficiency who developed central retinal artery occlusion following cardiac catheterism through the brachial artery and cineangiocoronography. This procedure can lead to embolic phenomena like that which was reported.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFPurpose: To evaluate the anatomy of idiopathic macular hole (IMH) using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and to construct a prognostic index that can be correlated with the visual outcomes and the anatomical closing.
Methods: Prospective study, in which 22 eyes with IMH had been evaluated through OCT in the daily postoperative period of IMH surgery. The Prognostic of Macular Hole Index (PMHI) was created which was correlated with the anatomical result and the postoperative visual acuity (VA) six months after surgery.
