Effect of Macular Internal Limiting Membrane Peeling on Single Surgery Success Rates of Vitrectomy for Uncomplicated, Primary Macula-Off Retinal Detachment.

To determine the anatomic and visual outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy for uncomplicated, primary macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) with and without internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling. This retrospective chart review comprised 129 patients with uncomplicated, primary macula-off RRD presenting between January 1, 2016, and May 31, 2021. Thirty-six patients (27.

Cilioretinal Artery Occlusion in Posterior Scleritis Secondary to Ankylosing Spondylitis.

The authors describe the case of a 25-year-old male who presented with a cilioretinal artery occlusion secondary to posterior scleritis. The patient had a history of juvenile spondyloarthritis that evolved into ankylosing spondylitis. Cilioretinal artery occlusion is a rare complication of posterior scleritis, having only been described once previously in the literature.

Pneumatic Vitreolysis With Intravitreal Air for Focal Vitreomacular Traction.

Purpose: To determine whether pneumatic vitreolysis with intravitreal air is effective for focal vitreomacular traction (VMT).

Methods: We conducted a retrospective consecutive case series of 20 eyes from 19 individuals with focal VMT who underwent pneumatic vitreolysis with intravitreal air (January 2017 to November 2018). We analyzed patients via spectral-domain optical coherence tomography before intravitreal air injection and at 1 month.

Relentless Placoid Chorioretinitis With Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion and Secondary Peripheral Retinal Neovascularization.

Purpose: We report a case of relentless placoid chorioretinitis (RPC) that developed branch retinal vein occlusion and peripheral retinal neovascularization in one eye.

Methods: A case report is presented.

Results: A 33-year-old healthy man presented with decreased visual acuity (20/150) in both eyes.

PHACOVITRECTOMY FOR PRIMARY RHEGMATOGENOUS RETINAL DETACHMENT REPAIR: A Retrospective Review.

Purpose: To analyze the single surgery success rate and anterior segment complications related to phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation in a series of patients undergoing phacovitrectomy for all types of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

Methods: We performed a retrospective interventional case series on 302 eyes undergoing phacovitrectomy for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair between November 1, 2016, and February 2, 2019, in Edmonton, Canada. Primary outcomes included single surgery retinal reattachment rate and anterior segment complications.

Effects of intravitreal bevacizumab in Gram-positive and Gram-negative models of ocular inflammation.

Background: Exogenous endophthalmitis is a potential complication of intraocular surgery and frequently results in visual impairment. Current treatment involves administration of intravitreal (IVT) antibiotics with or without vitrectomy surgery. Evidence for the use of adjunctive anti-inflammatory agents is conflicting.

Inner, outer, and full-thickness retinal folds after rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair: A review.

Partial-thickness folds of the inner retina and outer retina, as well as full-thickness retinal folds, may occur after the repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Although these can look similar on clinical examination, imaging with optical coherence tomography facilitates differentiation. With optical coherence tomography analysis, inner retinal folds exhibit corrugations of the inner retina while outer retinal folds display hyperreflective lesions located just above the retinal pigment epithelium that may extend into the outer nuclear layer.

NOVEL PATIENT POSITIONING APPARATUS FOR RETINAL SURGERY IN A CASE OF SEVERE KYPHOSIS.

Purpose: To describe a novel patient positioning apparatus for intraocular surgery capable of accommodating patients with thoracic kyphosis.

Methods: Case report.

Results: A 60-year-old man presented with a macula-off retinal detachment and severe ankylosing spondylitis.

VEGF-A is increased in exogenous endophthalmitis.

Objective: Exogenous endophthalmitis is an ophthalmologic emergency defined by panocular inflammation. Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) contributes to inflammation by promoting chemotaxis of monocytes and granulocytes and by increasing vascular permeability. The purpose of this article is to determine if VEGF-A is elevated in the vitreous samples obtained from individuals with exogenous endophthalmitis.

MASSIVE SUBRETINAL GAS AFTER VITRECTOMY SURGERY: MECHANISM AND MANAGEMENT.

Purpose: To describe the complication of subretinal gas after pars plana vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, as well as its management.

Methods: The presence of subretinal gas was noted on postoperative Day 1 after pars plana vitrectomy for a chronic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Resolution of subretinal gas was facilitated by an infusion line and external sclerotomy to expand the vitreous cavity.

A case of isolated Susac occlusive retinal vasculitis.

Susac syndrome is characterized by encephalopathy, sensorineural hearing loss, and branch retinal artery occlusion. Additional ocular findings include arteriolar wall hyperfluorescence and Gass plaques. We present a 51-year-old Caucasian woman with ophthalmologic findings indicative of Susac syndrome in the setting of tinnitus and migraine with aura.
