Combined Ahmed Glaucoma Valve Placement, Intravitreal Fluocinolone Acetonide Implantation and Cataract Extraction for Chronic Uveitis.

Purpose: To report the outcomes of combined Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) placement, intravitreal fluocinolone acetonide implant, and cataract extraction procedure in the treatment of chronic noninfectious uveitis.

Patients And Methods: Retrospective case series of patients with chronic noninfectious uveitis who underwent AGV placement, intravitreal fluocinolone acetonide implantation, and cataract extraction in a single surgical session performed at 1 institution from January 2009 to November 2014. Outcome measures included intraocular pressure (IOP) and glaucoma medication use.

Occult nonmetallic intraocular foreign bodies presenting as fulminant uveitis: a case series and review of the literature.

Intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) can complicate globe trauma and are associated with a high incidence of severe vision loss. Occult IOFBs present a particular challenge as they are not diagnosed promptly and tend to present with advanced complications, including endophthalmitis and retinal detachment. In this report, we present three cases of occult nonmetallic IOFBs presenting as fulminant uveitis, and we also review the literature.

Uveitis in human immunodeficiency virus-infected persons with CD4+ T-lymphocyte count over 200 cells/mL.

Background: Introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy has altered the course of disease for persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus by elevating CD4+ T-lymphocyte levels. Changes in the spectrum of systemic diseases encountered in human immunodeficiency virus-positive individuals are reported in the general medical literature.

Design: Retrospective case series.

Enterobacter cloacae Postsurgical Endophthalmitis: Report of a Positive Outcome.

We report a positive outcome of postcataract endophthalmitis caused by Enterobacter cloacae, which has previously resulted in poor outcomes in endophthalmitis. A 67-year-old man underwent uncomplicated cataract surgery. On the morning of postoperative day (POD) #1, he had significant anterior chamber inflammation without pain, hypopyon, or vitritis but then rapidly developed hypopyon and worsening visual acuity.

Cytomegalovirus retinitis in the absence of AIDS.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate systemic and ophthalmic features associated with Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis in immunocompetent patients.

Design: Retrospective chart review.

Participants: Nine patients with CMV retinitis who were clinically immunocompetent at the time of diagnosis.

A diagnostic dilemma: infectious versus noninfectious multifocal choroiditis with panuveitis.

Background: The objective of this study was to report a diagnostic dilemma in a patient with multifocal choroiditis. This is a case report study.

Findings: A 68-year-old female presented with new onset of floaters in both eyes and diagnosed with bilateral panuveitis.

Aqueous and vitreous concentrations following topical administration of 1% voriconazole in humans.

Objective: To determine the penetration of 1% voriconazole solution into the aqueous and vitreous following topical administration.

Methods: A prospective nonrandomized study of 13 patients scheduled for pars plana vitrectomy surgery. Aqueous and vitreous samples were obtained and analyzed after topical administration of 1% voriconazole every 2 hours for 24 hours before surgery.
