Transretinal puncture with a 41G cannula for posterior residual subretinal fluid in fovea-off retinal detachments treated by vitrectomy VS fluid tolerance VS other conventional drainage techniques: a comparative study.

Purpose: To compare functional and anatomical outcomes between posterior drainage of residual fluid using a 41G cannula, fluid tolerance (R-SRF), and conventional complete drainage methods, including removal through peripheral retinal breaks (PRB), perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL), and posterior retinotomy (PR).

Methods: In this retrospective, multicenter study, we evaluated cases for visual acuity (VA) at 3 months of follow-up. Secondary outcomes included surgical success, postoperative metamorphopsia, shifts, full-thickness folds (FTF), optical coherence tomography (OCT) parameters, and safety.

The AflibeRcept use in rEal life study for the treatment of diabetiC macular oedema In the French overseas territories: A 12 months follow-up Study - The RECIF Study.

Purpose: The incidence and severity of diabetes is particularly high in the French overseas territories (FOT). The RECIF study evaluated real life management of diabetic macular oedema (DME) treated by aflibercept in FOT.

Methods: A prospective, noncomparative, multicentric, non-interventional, study that evaluated functional and anatomical results of patients treated by aflibercept.

Clinical Study on the Initial Experiences of French Vitreoretinal Surgeons with Heads-up Surgery.

: To evaluate the initial experience of four experienced vitreoretinal surgeons, in France, with a three-dimensional (3-D) system, and to explore the potential advantages and disadvantages of this technology. We also report anatomical surgical outcomes of full-thickness idiopathic macular holes (MH) and primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), by using traditional microscopy and heads-up method. : Four French retinal surgeons performed several types of ophthalmic surgeries with this new technology.

Influence of new societal factors on neovascular age-related macular degeneration outcomes.

Background: To assess the impact of unstudied societal factors for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) on functional outcomes after anti-VEGFs.

Methods: Charts of 94 nAMD patients treated in the Monticelli-Paradis Centre, Marseille, France, were reviewed. Phone interviews were conducted to assess societal factors, including transportation, living status, daily reading and social security scheme (SSS).

Ten years follow-up after surgery for a foveal detachment due to optic disc pit: a case report of outer retinal layer healing.

Background: To report a case of complete progressive visual recovery and healing of outer retinal layers after vitrectomy for foveal detachment associated with optic disc pit.

Case Presentation: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) follow-up was performed on a 15-year-old boy with deep optic disc pit and foveal detachment, before and for 10 years after vitrectomy with gas. The foveal detachment was successfully reattached with complete reapplication of the retina.

Symptomatic Moyamoya disease: clinical features and outcome after indirect bypass surgery in four French adults.

Background: There are a few reports of moyamoya disease (MMD) in the European Caucasian adult population. We present the clinical manifestations, the neuroradiological aspects, the treatment, and the outcome after surgical revascularization of four French patients with MMD.

Patients And Methods: We identified four adults (age >18 years; three women and one man) with MMD who underwent digital subtraction catheter angiography at our institution from 1997 through 2006.

Dumbbell-shaped epidural capillary hemangioma.

We report a case of a purely epidural capillary hemangioma of the thoracic spine with foraminal extension. Epidural hemangiomas are rare; only a few cases of dumbbell-shaped ones have been reported, and all were cavernous. MR imaging showed characteristic findings of a capillary hemangioma, which are also consistent with other epidural lesions such as neuromas or meningiomas.

Retinal detachment after phacoemulsification: a study of 114 cases.

Purpose: To analyze the features of retinal detachment (RD) occurring after cataract surgery performed by Kelman phacoemulsification (KPE) and to identify any potential correlations between KPE intraoperative complications and the features of RD (incidence apart) as well as the final visual outcome.

Design: Interventional consecutive case series.

Methods: Retrospective review of 114 eyes of 114 consecutive patients with RD occurring after KPE and followed for 6 months or more after surgery.

[Comparative study for ruptured aneurysms treated by surgery and endovascular method].

The management of intracranial aneurysms has truly evolved after the introduction of the endovascular treatment. In this paper we compare patients that were operated or embolized for intracranial aneurysms. Between 1995 and 1999, 78 grade I to III ruptured aneurysms were treated in our service: 52 patients were operated, 21 were embolized and 5 were submitted to combinated endovascular and surgical treatment.
