Recurrent annular peripheral choroidal detachment after trabeculectomy.

We report a challenging case of recurrent flat anterior chamber without hypotony after trabeculectomy in a 54-year-old Black male with a remote history of steroid-treated polymyositis, cataract surgery, and uncontrolled open angle glaucoma. The patient presented with a flat chamber on postoperative day 11, but had a normal fundus exam and intraocular pressure (IOP). Flat chamber persisted despite treatment with cycloplegics, steroids, and a Healon injection into the anterior chamber.

Optical coherence tomography changes in macular CMV retinitis.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis characteristically causes peripheral retinitis with associated vasculitis. It rarely begins in the macula or causes macular necrosis exclusively. We report a case of unilateral macular CMV retinitis in a 65-year-old immunosuppressed patient and document changes in the macula during treatment through optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Trabeculectomy: the limitations for registrar training.

Background: Trainee exposure to glaucoma surgery was analysed and outcomes compared with those of consultant cases.

Design: Retrospective review was carried out at Princess Alexandra Hospital and Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, two major tertiary teaching hospitals in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

Participants: Two hundred and forty-eight consecutive public patients undergoing primary trabeculectomy surgery between 2003 and 2010.

Augmented vertical rectus [corrected] transposition for the treatment of strabismus in Möbius syndrome.

Möbius syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by bilateral facial nerve palsy and abducens nerve palsy. It is associated with a wide spectrum of systemic and ocular manifestations; esotropia is commonly the reason for ophthalmic referral. There are few published studies in the literature on strabismus surgery in Möbius syndrome.
