Ciliary body suturing using intraocular irrigation for traumatic cyclodialysis: two case reports.

Background: We report two cases (two eyes) of traumatic cyclodialysis with prolonged decrease of intraocular pressure that were successfully treated with surgery by ciliary body suturing using intraocular irrigation.

Case Presentation: This study involved a 17-year-old Japanese boy (patient 1) and a 31-year-old Japanese man (patient 2) in whom cyclodialysis was sustained in one eye after blunt-force ocular trauma from a thrown ball. Because the hypotony maculopathy in both patients did not resolve after conservative treatment, ciliary body suturing was performed.

Investigation of scleral thermal injuries caused by ultrasonic pars plana phacoemulsification and aspiration using pig eyes.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the thermal injuries caused by ultrasonic pars plana phacoemulsification and aspiration (PPPEA) using pig eyes.

Method: Using a 20-gauge (G) vitrectomy system (Accurus, Fragmatome; Alcon Laboratories) in both the 'open-tip' and 'closed-tip' techniques, PPPEA was performed in pig eyes and the subsequent thermal injuries generated around the scleral wound were measured by infrared thermal imaging (thermography). Post surgery, the state of the scleral wound was observed under a microscope, and a tissue slice containing the scleral wound was then prepared and observed under an optical microscope.

Case Report of a Family Affected by Stickler Syndrome in Which Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment Occurred in Five Eyes of Three Siblings.

Purpose: Stickler syndrome is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder that is well known to be highly associated with the development of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. In this study, we report the case of a family affected by Stickler syndrome in which rhegmatogenous retinal detachment developed in 5 eyes of 3 siblings.

A case of silicone oil adhered to the retinal surface via perfluorocarbon liquid.

Background: Perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) is widely used as an intraoperative heavy tamponade to flatten the retina and is replaced with silicone oil (SO) at the end of the surgery. Due to the long tamponade period, the SO is known to remain attached to the retina at the time of removal, and is commonly termed "sticky oil". The aim of this present study was to report a case of SO stickily attached to the retina via PFCL without tamponade period.
