[THE CHALLENGE OF DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT IN PEDIATRIC RETINAL DETACHMENT].

Retinal detachment is visually impairing in children and adults. The treatment for retinal detachment is challenging, especially in children. There are many etiologies for retinal detachment such as retinal detachment due to retinal tear (rhegmatogenous), tractional retinal detachment and exudative detachment.

Long-term silicone oil tamponade in eyes with complicated retinal detachment.

Purpose: To report the visual and anatomic outcomes of eyes with exceedingly long-term silicone oil tamponade.

Methods: A retrospective chart review of 43 eyes of 41 patients with silicone oil tamponade for 5 years or more. Rates of retinal reattachment, visual acuity, and complications are presented.

Microcystoid Macular Changes in Association With Idiopathic Epiretinal Membranes in Eyes With and Without Glaucoma: Clinical Insights.

Purpose: To describe the clinical and surgical significance of microcystoid macular changes in the inner nuclear layer in patients with idiopathic epiretinal membranes, with and without glaucomatous optic neuropathy.

Design: Retrospective case series.

Methods: Clinical charts and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography images of 264 eyes of 234 consecutive patients diagnosed with idiopathic epiretinal membranes were reviewed and analyzed.

Lamellar Macular Hole: Two Distinct Clinical Entities?

Purpose: To investigate whether lamellar macular holes can be divided into different subgroups.

Design: Retrospective observational case series.

Methods: In this institutional study, clinical charts and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of 102 eyes of 90 consecutive patients diagnosed with lamellar macular hole were reviewed.

Topical tacrolimus for the management of acute allergic conjunctivitis in a mouse model.

Background: Acute allergic conjunctivitis is a constantly challenging condition that often requires steroids for effective management. Alternative treatment options are needed due to the potential side effects of steroids. Tacrolimus has been used for vernal/atopic conjunctivitis.

[Neuro-ophthalmology and interventional neuro-radiology--co-treatment for carotid cavernous sinus fistula].

Carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCFs) are abnormal arteriovenous communications in the cavernous sinus. In many cases of CCF's the primary signs are ocular manifestations, which include: pulsatile proptosis, orbital bruit, chemosis and conjunctival injection, elevated intraocular pressure, venous stasis retinopathy, and cranial nerve pareses. Patients in whom the fistula causes arterial drainage into the cerebral veins and sinuses are at risk for intracranial hemorrhage.

Pneumatic retinopexy for the repair of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment: a 10-year retrospective analysis.

Objective: To assess the outcome and risk factors for failure of pneumatic retinopexy (PR) in eyes with primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).

Methods: Data of patients who underwent PR for the repair of primary RRD, from January 1, 2000, through June 30, 2011, were retrieved from medical records and retrospectively analyzed. Patients with a follow-up time of less than 4 months were contacted and invited for examination.

Party foam-induced eye injuries and the power of media intervention.

Purpose: To describe the clinical features and treatment outcome of eye injuries sustained as a result of contact with artificial snow spray ("party foam"/"silly string") during 2 consecutive Israeli Independence Day celebrations.

Design: Retrospective, multicenter, consecutive case series.

Setting: Institutional.
