Purpose: To report the results of combined ab externo and ab interno revision with mitomycin C (MMC) of failed filtering blebs in glaucoma patients.
Methods: Glaucoma patients with a failed trabeculectomy who had undergone internal and external revision with MMC in the last 6 years with at least 12 months of follow-up were considered. All study patients followed the same protocol in the operating room: injection of 0.
The clinical efficacy of rituximab therapy in systemic mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma with both periocular and intraocular involvement is described. Ophthalmic examination and radiologic imaging demonstrated tumor with bilateral periorbital, lacrimal, and subconjunctival infiltration, a pseudohypopyon in one eye, and extensive systemic lymph node involvement. Lymph node biopsy confirmed the pathologic findings of a low-grade MALT lymphoma.

Methods: Twenty-five eyes from 25 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma were submitted to a diurnal curve on the same day, 5 measurements, 2.5 hours apart, from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm.
Violation of the ISNT rule in Nonglaucomatous pediatric optic disc cupping.
Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci
February 2010
Purpose: To determine whether nonglaucomatous optic disc cupping in children violates the ISNT rule (which states that for normal optic discs the neuroretinal rim width is greatest in the order inferior >or= superior >or= nasal >or= temporal).
Methods: Digital ocular fundus photographs from a random cohort of children with large optic disc cups of nonglaucomatous origin were analyzed in masked fashion by using computer graphic software. The diameter and perimeter of each optic disc and optic cup and the width of the neuroretinal rim were drawn and measured.
Differences in optical coherence tomography of the macula in advanced glaucoma and after a retinal artery occlusion.
Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging
November 2007
Background And Objective: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was used to evaluate the macular thickness in eyes with advanced glaucoma compared with eyes following a retinal artery occlusion.
Patients And Methods: Ten patients with a retinal artery occlusion and 10 patients with severe glaucoma were evaluated with OCT using the macular thickness map protocol.
Results: The median thinnest macular sector was 183 microns (range: 152 to 223 microns) in patients with glaucoma versus 143 microns (range: 98 to 177 microns) in patients with arterial occlusion (P = .
We describe a clinical scenario in which a child was treated for glaucoma and aqueous misdirection with surgical placement of a tube shunt. The child then suffered extrusion of the tube through the cornea, a rare complication of such procedures. This complication has only been seen in children, and thus, young patients with tube shunts need careful and frequent monitoring, especially during the first year of the post tube shunt period to ensure that they have not developed this complication.

Design: Prospective randomized clinical trial.
Methods: Glaucoma or ocular hypertension patients receiving a combined treatment of timolol 0.
Purpose: To investigate the efficacy of bleb needle revision with high-dose mitomycin C in reviving failed filtering blebs after 1 year.
Patients And Methods: We reviewed the charts of 44 patients with one eye that had undergone bleb needle revision with a mixture of 0.1 mL of mitomycin (0.
