Plasma Rich in Growth Factors in Macular Hole Surgery.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of PRGF (plasma rich in growth factors) as an adjuvant to PPV (pars plana vitrectomy) in recurrent, persistent, or poor prognosis MH (macular hole). Patients with MH were treated with PPV plus adjuvant therapy (PRGF membrane (mPRGF) and injectable liquid PRGF (iPRGF)). The anatomical closure of MH and postoperative BCVA (best-corrected visual acuity) were evaluated.

The history of pneumatic retinopexy: have we come full circle?

The historical literature on the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) was reviewed from 1911 to the present, focusing on the role of intravitreal air and gas. The history of the pneumatic retinopexy (PnR) technique is described from its original roots to the current day procedure. The treatment of RRD has evolved tremendously over the past century.

DEVELOPMENT OF CHOROIDAL NEOVASCULARIZATION AFTER TREATMENT WITH PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY IN A 5-YEAR-OLD FEMALE WITH CHOROIDAL OSTEOMA.

Purpose: To describe a patient with a choroidal osteoma treated with photodynamic therapy to prevent tumor growth in whom choroidal neovascularization (CNV) developed after being treated with photodynamic therapy.

Methods: Case report.

Results: A 5-year-old Hispanic woman presented with an asymptomatic choroidal osteoma, temporal to the macula of her right eye.

Implantation of a Trifocal Intraocular Lens in High Myopic Eyes with Nasal-Inferior Staphyloma.

Purpose: To assess visual outcomes in high myopic eyes with nasal-inferior staphyloma implanted with a pseudophakic trifocal intraocular lens (IOL).

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the visual outcomes of 50 eyes of 45 patients who had cataract surgery after AT LISA trifocal IOL implantation. Twenty-five eyes diagnosed with posterior staphyloma (nasal-inferior, type IV and V), and 25 eyes as long eyes.

Bilateral fungal infection inducing a serpiginous-like picture.

Purpose: To report the clinical findings of a patient who presented with an atypical bilateral fungal retinitis that was established by retinochoroidal biopsy.

Methods: Case report.

Results: A 56-year-old systemically healthy man presented with progressive visual loss in his left eye for 3 weeks.

Visual and Anatomic Outcomes in Perforating Ocular Injuries.

Purpose: This article reports the presentation, management, and outcomes in patients suffering perforating ocular injuries.

Methods: A retrospective review was conducted at a single ophthalmology Level 1 trauma center. Patients with evidence of traumatic ocular perforation, with surgical intervention attended by a single vitreoretinal surgeon (W.

Treatment of recurrent myopic macular hole using membrane of plasma rich in growth factors.

Purpose: To describe the case of a patient with a recurrent large myopic macular hole (MH), who was successfully treated with a plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) membrane.

Case Report: A 71-year-old patient presented a myopic MH in his right eye. One month later, pars plana vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling was performed, achieving closure of the MH.

Acute retinal toxicity associated with a mixture of perfluorooctane and perfluorohexyloctane: failure of another indirect cytotoxicity analysis.

Aims: To report new information related to acute retinal toxicity of Bio Octane Plus, a mixture of 90% perfluorooctane (PFO) and 10% perfluorohexyloctane.

Methods: This retrospective, descriptive case series reports the occurrence of acute retinal toxicity after vitreoretinal surgery in which Bio Octane Plus (batch number 1605148) was used as an endotamponade. Cytotoxicity biocompatibility tests and chemical analyses by Fourier-transformed infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) of the presumed toxic product were performed.

Rationale: Report the clinical findings and management of a case of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy associated with choroidal nevus which received combination therapy.

Patient Concerns: Decreased visual acuity in a woman with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy and choroidal nevus.

Diagnoses: Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy and choroidal nevus.
