Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol
October 2006
Background: To report a case of non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) observed after uncomplicated scleral buckle placement.
Methods: A 57-year-old man presented with a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment of the left eye. He underwent uncomplicated scleral buckle placement and C3F8 injection.

A minimally invasive method for repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment following treatment of retinoblastoma is described. Two children with retinoblastoma developed rhegmatogenous retinal detachments following treatment with a combination of chemotherapy and cryotherapy. Each eye underwent a non-drainage scleral buckling procedure without retinopexy of the retinal break.

Methods: Thirteen eyes of 12 consecutive patients were identified from a computerized patient database. All eyes were operated on by the same surgeon and received 4 mg of unaltered, commercially available triamcinolone acetonide intravitreally, before silicone oil injection.
A case of subretinal hemorrhage associated with cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis in a human immunodeficiency virus-positive woman is described. The patient was found to have an exudative retinal detachment involving the fovea, subretinal hemorrhage, cotton wool spots, and active CMV retinitis temporal to the exudative detachment. No evidence of systemic coagulopathy was found.

Design: Retrospective chart review.
Methods: A retrospective chart review of 155 eyes of 137 consecutive patients treated for acute PVD-related retinal tears was performed.
Objective: To report a case of a pseudohypopyon that developed after intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide for choroidal neovascularization from age-related macular degeneration.
Methods: Observational case report.
Results: A 62-year-old woman received an intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide for the treatment of a choroidal neovascular membrane that developed as a result of age-related macular degeneration.
Peripapillary congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium.

May 2004
Purpose: To describe a patient with pressure alopecia following vitreoretinal surgery.
Design: Case report.
Methods: An 11-year-old boy underwent vitreoretinal surgery for left retinal detachment.
Purpose: To determine the risk and clinical characteristics of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD) in the fellow phakic eyes of patients with a pseudophakic retinal detachment (PPRD) in one eye.
Methods: The authors conducted a computer-generated chart review to find 64 consecutive patients with a PPRD in one eye and were phakic in the fellow eye. The clinical information was collected on all patients to investigate the risk and clinical characteristics of RD in the fellow eyes while still phakic.
Purpose: To report a clinicopathologic correlation of an unusual benign lymphocytic iris mass in a patient who had no systemic lymphoproliferative disease.
Methods: Case report.
Results: A 49-year-old man developed a circumscribed, tan lesion in his left iris.
