[Orbital cellulitis and endophthalmitis after cataract surgery].

Orbital cellulitis with endophthalmitis is an extremely uncommon complication following ocular surgery. We report the case of 38 year-old man who developed orbital cellulitis and endophthalmitis after extracapsular extraction and posterior chamber implant placement for cataract secondary to radiotherapy. Phacoextraction was performed under general anaesthesia and was uneventful.

Frequency, characteristics, and risk factors of late recurrence of retinal detachment.

Purpose: To evaluate the frequency, characteristics, causes, and risk factors of late recurrent retinal detachments (LRRD).

Methods: The authors retrospectively analyzed 445 eyes operated consecutively for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment between 1990 and 2003 by the same surgeon. Only eyes with complete reattachment after a minimum follow-up of 6 months were included.
