Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the incidence and outcomes of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD) in 50 patients with Knobloch syndrome over a 40-year period.
- It finds that 48% of patients experienced RD, primarily in young children, with a significant portion linked to macular holes.
- The overall success rates for surgeries were low, with only 36% achieving single-surgery success, highlighting the challenges in treating RD in this patient population.
Purpose: To evaluate the outcomes of surgical intervention in eyes with neovascular glaucoma (NVG) and poor vision, comparing the Ahmed glaucoma implant with cyclophotocoagulation (CPC).
Patients And Methods: This study is a double-armed cohort retrospective review of medical records of patients with NVG who had a visual acuity of 20/200 or less and underwent one of the two procedures as a primary intervention: Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) or cyclophotocoagulation (CPC). The study was conducted at King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from January 2014 to June 2019, with a total study period of 1 year.
Purpose: To present the profile of a large cohort of children with persistent fetal vasculature (PFV) and identify their predictors of poor visual outcome in a tertiary eye hospital in Saudi Arabia.
Methods: This was a single-center study. Medical records of children diagnosed with persistent fetal vasculature between January 1990 and January 2020 at King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital (KKESH), Riyadh, were reviewed.
Purpose: To report the outcomes of medical and surgical management in patients diagnosed with aqueous misdirection syndrome (AMS).
Patients And Methods: A retrospective chart review of all cases diagnosed with AMS at a single tertiary care eye center during the period from 2014 to 2021. Outcome measures were anatomical success (deepening of the anterior chamber (AC)), functional success (improvement in visual acuity), and treatment success (control of intraocular pressure (IOP)).

Middle East Afr J Ophthalmol
February 2022
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the outcomes of two frequently used surgical valves in treating refractory glaucoma.
Methods: This was a retrospective and nonrandomized study comparing patients aged 18 years or older who underwent implantation using standardized surgical techniques.
Results: A total of 86 patients were included in the study, 48 in the Ahmed group and 38 in the Baerveldt group.
Background: Medical services at trauma centers regularly encounter severe burn patients but prehospital care of these patients in Saudi Arabia is comparatively unexplored. This study evaluates the knowledge and experience of physicians working in trauma centers of Qassim province of Saudi Arabia for the management of patients with burn injuries.
Methods: This is a cross sectional study performed on 204 physicians working in the trauma centers of Qassim province.
Saudi women's physical activity habits during pregnancy.
Womens Health (Lond)
September 2020
Background: Despite many benefits of physical exercise to women during pregnancy, the majority of Saudi women do not engage in an adequate amount of activity because of common barriers such as fatigue, lack of motivation, and childcare. The purpose of this study was to estimate the proportion of Saudi women who get adequate exercise during pregnancy as well as to evaluate their knowledge of, attitude toward, and barriers to physical exercise during pregnancy.
Methods: This study had a cross-sectional design.
