Impact of OCT scan-patterns in identifying morphological features of lamellar macular holes and macular pseudoholes.

Aim: To evaluate the impact of the optical coherence tomography (OCT) scan patterns on the detection of the features associated with lamellar macular hole (LMH) and macular pseudohole (MPH).

Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of 100 consecutive eyes with LMH (=41) and MPH (=59) having at least three of the following OCT features, which include mandatory criteria for the diagnosis of LMH and MPH: Epiretinal membrane, epiretinal proliferation, verticalization, intraretinal cystoid spaces, foveoschisis, irregular foveal contour, foveal cavity with undermined edges, and ellipsoid line disruption. Primary outcome measurement was the detection frequency of the features in three different OCT scan patterns: 1) volume scan; 2) six radial scans (R6); and 3) vertical and horizontal radial scans (R2).

Reattachment of Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment via Fibrin Tissue Adhesive.

Purpose: To manage reattachment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment using tissue adhesive (fibrin glue) in five patients.

Methods: Five eyes of five patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were treated with 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy and the application of fibrin glue (Tisseel Lyo) into the break under air without laser photocoagulation or cryopexy.

Results: The median age of patients was 64 (range, 46-82) years, and the median duration of symptoms was 15 (range, 7-60) days.

Idiopathic Isolated Cilioretinal Artery Occlusion Treated with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.

Cilioretinal artery occlusion (CLRAO) is a rare event which has been reported in association with various systemic diseases. We report a case of idiopathic isolated CLRAO treated successfully with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy. A 26-year-old man presented with sudden, painless vision loss and an inferior hemivisual field defect in the left eye.

Helvacioglu reproducibility index: a new algorithm to evaluate the effects of misalignments on the measurements of retinal nerve fiber layer by spectral-domain OCT.

Aim: To evaluate the effect of misalignment on the measurements of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Methods: A total of 42 eyes from 21 healthy young subjects underwent RNFL measurements with RTVue spectral-domain OCT (Optovue Inc., Fremont, California, USA).

Outcomes of 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy in vitreoretinal diseases.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the efficiency and reliability of the 23-gauge (23G) transconjunctival vitrectomy system and examine possible complications of this surgical technique in a variety of vitreoretinal conditions along with early postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) changes.

Materials And Methods: A total of 350 eyes of 324 patients having undergone 23G transconjunctival vitrectomy were included in this prospective study. A total of 150 (46.
