Intravitreal bevacizumab for prevention of early postvitrectomy hemorrhage in diabetic patients: a randomized clinical trial.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of preoperative intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) injection on the rate of early (< or =4 weeks) postvitrectomy hemorrhage in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).

Design: Prospective, randomized, double-masked clinical trial.

Participants: Sixty-eight eyes of 68 patients undergoing pars plana vitrectomy for management of PDR complications.

Characteristics and outcomes of choroidal neovascularization occurring after macular hole surgery.

Purpose: To study the characteristics and outcomes of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) developing after surgery for idiopathic macular holes.

Methods: Retrospective, noncomparative case series. Search of diagnostic and procedure databases of four participating institutes identified nine eyes of eight patients with CNV after surgery for idiopathic macular hole.

Perforating follicular hybrid cyst of the tarsus.

Follicular hybrid cysts are cutaneous tumors that arise from different portions of the hair follicle. We describe a follicular hybrid cyst of the tarsus that contained features of pilomatricoma and steatocystoma and perforated the palpebral conjunctiva. The unusual location and histopathologic features are discussed.

Ocular manifestations of electrical injury: a case report and review of the literature.

Purpose: To report a case of electrical shock resulting in multiple ocular manifestations, including anisocoria, acute bilateral iritis, bilateral cataracts, and macular cyst formation, and to provide a review of the literature on electrically induced ocular injuries.

Methods: Case report and review of the literature.

Results: The case presented demonstrates a sequential occurrence of anisocoria, bilateral cataract formation, iritis, and macular cyst formation, with resolution following medical and surgical treatment.
