Terson Syndrome in Two Infants: Case Report and Literature Review.

We report the presentation and outcome of Terson syndrome in four eyes of two infants in a tertiary hospital in Saudi Arabia. This is a retrospective report of two infants with Terson syndrome due to accidental traumatic head injuries. Intraoperative screenshots of the posterior pole were taken for both cases.

Post-operative face-up or face-down positioning after silicone oil tamponade in retinal surgery: Results of a retrospective study.

Objective: To compare the complications related to silicone oil, and anatomical and functional outcomes in patients nursed in different postoperative positionings after pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil injection in retinal surgery.

Methods: The retrospective cohort study was conducted at the Department of Ophthalmology, King AbdulAziz Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and comprised data of patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade from January 2016 to October 2022. The patients were divided into two groups depending on how they were nursed in the postoperative period.

Long-term peripheral retinal vascular behavior in retinopathy of prematurity patients treated with ranibizumab intravitreal injection as monotherapy using fluorescein angiography.

Background: Few challenges are faced with the introduction of anti-VEGF agents as a modality of treatment for retinopathy of prematurity. The clinical behavior and time course of regression post injection differ compared to post laser ablation. This study aims to evaluate the long-term peripheral retinal vascularization outcome of Ranibizumab intravitreal injections monotherapy in the treatment of retinopathy of prematurity.

Novel coronavirus disease pandemic and ophthalmologist's perspectives.

Ophthalmologists are among those healers facing a higher risk of acquiring novel coronavirus disease 2019, called COVID-19, during their professional duties since they have close physical contact with their patients. Some patients with COVID-19 may present with or may develop conjunctivitis during the course of the illness. The ocular secretions and tears have been identified to have positive results to COVID-19 tests and as such could be a source of spread.

Retinal re-detachments after removal of silicone oil: Frequency and timings in a retrospective clinical study.

Objective: To analyse anatomical outcome after removal of silicone oil endotamponade in complicated cases of retinal detachment with reference to frequency and timings, and to study factors affecting the outcome.

Methods: The retrospective study was conducted at one public-sector and one private-sector hospital in Karachi, and comprised data related to patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil endotamponade for complicated retinal detachment and subsequent removal of silicone oil between 1996 and 2015. The surgery had been carried out by both active and passive methods.

Fungal endophthalmitis in a case of granulomatosis with polyangitis.

A 70-year-old immuno-compromised man, due to multiple comorbidities, particularly granulomatosis with polyangitis (GPA) and its related treatment, presented with generalized weakness, odynophagia and loss of taste sensation. After a complete evaluation, a diagnosis of right frontal lobe brain abscess was made. The patient then developed headache and sudden painful loss of vision in the right eye.

Student perception and post-exam analysis of one best MCQs and one correct MCQs: A comparative study.

Objective: To find differences between One-Correct and One-Best multiple-choice questions with relation to student scores, post-exam item analyses results and student perception.

Methods: This comparative cross-sectional study was conducted at the Dow University of Health Sciences, Karachi, from November 2010 to April 2011, and comprised medical students. Data was analysed using SPSS 18.

Clinical pattern of Retinoblastoma in Pakistani population: Review of 403 eyes in 295 patients.

Objective: To document clinical pattern of retinoblastoma in Pakistani population.

Methods: This retrospective study, which was conducted at Department of Ophthalmology, Dow University of Health Sciences, Karachi, reviewed clinical records of patients with retinoblastoma from 1997 to 2012. Staging of disease was done by referring to retinal diagrams, RetCam images, and first magnetic resonance imaging.

Anatomical and functional outcomes of retinectomies in retinal detachments complicated by proliferative vitreoretinopathy.

Purpose: To study anatomical and functional outcomes of retinectomies in rhegmatogenous retinal detachments complicated by proliferative vitreoretinopathy.

Methods: This is a retrospective interventional consecutive case series of eyes with rhegmatogenous retinal detachments complicated by advanced proliferative vitreoretinopathy and managed by relaxing retinectomy over a period of seventeen years. Three-port pars plana vitrectomy included core vitrectomy and removal of all epi-retinal membranes.

Comparison of efficacy of storage of amniotic membrane at -20 and -80 degrees centigrade.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of storage of amniotic membrane at -20 and -80 degrees centigrade.

Study Design: Interventional quasi-experimental study.

Place And Duration Of Study: Department of Ophthalmology, Unit 1, Dow University of Health Sciences and Civil Hospital, Karachi, from January 2009 to December 2010.

Macular thickness by age and gender in healthy eyes using spectral domain optical coherence tomography.

Purpose: To determine normal macular thickness and its variation by age and gender in healthy eyes using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).

Methods: In this cross-sectional analysis, two hundred and twenty eyes of 220 healthy subjects underwent raster scanning using Topcon SD-OCT system, at the Department of Ophthalmology, Dow University of Health Sciences and Civil Hospital Karachi, Pakistan. Macular thickness from all 9 regions of the ETDRS map was documented for each subject.
