Background: We describe a case of traumatic ocular endophthalmitis caused by Nocardia kruczakiae after vegetable trauma in an immunocompetent child.
Findings: A 5-year-old boy suffered from a trauma with a palm tree leaflet. Two months later, he was diagnosed with traumatic infectious uveitis and intumescent cataract with anterior capsule rupture.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine how common pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXF) is in patients set for cataract surgery and its relationship with factors like pupil dilation, lens hardness, intraocular pressure, glaucoma, age, and sex.
- Conducted at Ourense University Hospital in Spain, researchers examined 1,763 eyes from 1,093 patients between January 2013 and July 2013, identifying PXF through specific white deposits on the lens.
- Results showed that 21.6% of eyes had PXF, which was more frequent in older patients, and those with PXF had harder cataracts, higher intraocular pressure, smaller pupils, and a higher prevalence of glaucoma compared to those without PXF
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of intracameral phenylephrine (IPH) administered as prophylaxis against intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS) and to analyze the ability of IPH to reverse IFIS.
Design: Prospective, multicenter, randomized, comparative case series of fellow eyes.
Participants: Forty-two patients receiving tamsulosin who underwent cataract surgery between January and April 2011.
Purpose: To evaluate the characteristics of and risk factors for spontaneous late in-the-bag intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation and to analyze the outcomes of surgical correction.
Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Complejo Hospitalario Orense, Orense, Spain.
Methods: In this retrospective single-surgeon interventional case series, the surgical database of a referral center was searched for cases of late spontaneous in-the-bag IOL dislocation between 2005 and 2009.
