Bilateral Release of Falciform Retrolental Adhesion by Scleral Buckling in Familial Exudative Vitreoretinopathy.

September 2019
Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) can often present with retinal falciform folds, and rarely with retrolenticular adhesive radial retinal folds. Management of advanced FEVR-associated tractional falciform folds with retrolenticular adhesion to the peripheral retina in the literature has been limited to vitrectomy with or without lensectomy. The authors describe a unique surgical management of a case of bilateral FEVR-associated tractional radial folds with nonaxial retrolenticular adhesion treated with scleral buckling with deferred laser, avoiding the complications associated with vitrectomy and lensectomy on ocular development.

- - The SUPPORT trial revealed that maintaining lower oxygen saturation levels in premature infants reduced retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) but led to higher mortality rates compared to higher saturation levels.
- - A study compared the outcomes of a biphasic oxygen protocol (different saturation targets based on age) with static targets (constant saturation levels) in a neonatal intensive care unit, covering data from 2010 to 2017.
- - Results indicated that the incidence of any ROP and type 1 ROP increased after switching to the static SUPPORT standards, with significant differences noted in the rates before and after the change.
Purpose: To determine the incidence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) over a 2-year period before and after a change in the practice of oxygen supplementation.
Design: Nonrandomized, retrospective study.
Participants: All infants in a single Level III neonatal intensive care unit between the years of 2005 and 2007.
Purpose: To determine the diagnostic yield of tests commonly used for vitreous fluid analysis in eyes with suspected intraocular infection or malignancy.
Design: Noncomparative interventional case series.
Participants: Forty-four consecutive patients (45 eyes) treated from 1998 through 2006 with posterior segment inflammation who underwent pars plana vitrectomy for diagnostic purposes.
Purpose: To compare the anatomic outcomes of lens-sparing vitrectomy (LSV) with those of combined LSV and scleral buckle (SB) in surgical repair of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) stage 4 retinal detachment.
Design: Retrospective, interventional, consecutive case series.
Methods: Twenty-one eyes of 15 patients with stage 4 ROP detachment were enrolled.
