The effect of ocular dominance on choroidal structures.

This study aimed to compare the dominant and non-dominant eyes of healthy individuals in terms of CT and CVI values to assess the effect of ocular dominance on choroidal morphology. Three hundred eyes of 150 individuals were included in this study. All patients underwent routine ophthalmological examinations and hole-in-the-card tests to determine the dominant eye.

Is temporary clamping of the bilateral common iliac artery beneficial in reducing intraoperative blood loss in patients with segmental resected anterior placenta percreta?: A prospective observational study.

Objective: The aim of our study was to investigate whether temporary clamping of the bilateral common iliac artery (BCIA) has a role in reducing intraoperative blood loss in patients with segmentally resected anterior placenta percreta or not.

Methods: This prospective observational study included patients with anterior placenta percreta who underwent cesarean segmental resection either with BCIA temporary clamping or without clamping between October 2022 and September 2023.

Results: A comparison of demographic, obstetric, and surgical parameters and the need for transfusion (except for postoperative erythrocyte suspension transfusion) between the two groups revealed no significant difference (P > 0.

Decreased choroidal vascularity index and subfoveal choroidal thickness in vitamin D insufficiency.

Background: To present the effects of vitamin D insufficiency on the choroidal vascularity index, central choroid and central macula.

Methods: 42 eyes of 42 patients with vitamin D insufficiency and 51 eyes of 51 age- and sex-matched healthy subjects were included in this retrospective, cross-sectional, and comparative study. The macular layer was examined using the retinal mapping mode of the spectral domain Optical coherence tomography (Optovue RTVue XR, Optovue Inc.

The effect of baseline intraocular pressure and anterior segment parameters on intraocular pressure after intravitreal bevacizumab injection.

Purpose: We aimed to compare the predictive effect of pre-injection intraocular pressure (IOP) and anterior segment parameters on post-injection IOP values after intravitreal bevacizumab injection for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (NVAMD) in phakic and pseudophakic patient groups.

Material And Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study included 65 eyes of 65 treatment-naive NVAMD patients. Patients were divided into two groups according to their lens status (35 phakic and 30 pseudophakic patients).

Impact of Valsalva manuever on choroidal vascularity index, central choroid and central macula.

Background: Evaluation of the effects of the Valsalva maneuver on choroidal vascularity index, central choroid and the central macula.

Methods: Eighty-four eyes of 42 healthy volunteers were evaluated in this prospective study. The central macular layer was assesed using the retinal map mode of the spectral domain OCT (Optovue RTVue XR, Optovue Inc.

Vascular changes in macula, optic disc, and choroid in Wilson's disease: A cross-sectional optical coherence tomography angiography study.

Purpose: To evaluate the changes in the retinal and optic disc (OD) microcirculation in patients with Wilson's disease (WD) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).

Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional comparative study included 35 eyes of 35 WD patients (study group) and 36 eyes of 36 healthy participants (control group). The patients with WD were divided into subgroups based on the presence of Kayser-Fleischer rings.

THE ROLE OF OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY ANGIOGRAPHY IN PATIENTS WITH PREECLAMPSIA.

Purpose: To investigate the changes in the microvascular structure of the retina and optic disk by comparing the optical coherence tomography angiography findings in preeclamptic patients with those in healthy pregnant women and healthy nonpregnant women and also to evaluate the preeclamptic patients after delivery by showing whether the changes are permanent or not.

Methods: Fifty preeclamptic, 50 healthy pregnant, and 50 healthy nonpregnant women enrolled in three groups (preeclamptic pregnant women group, healthy pregnant women group, and nonpregnant women group; respectively). Patients in the preeclamptic pregnant women group were evaluated at three different time points including up to 3 hours before delivery (Group 1), 2, or 3 days after delivery (Group 2), and 6 weeks after delivery (Group 3), and compared with each other.

Isolated Superior Ophthalmic Vein Thrombosis Associated with Orbital Cellulitis: Case Report.

Superior ophthalmic vein thrombosis (SOVT) is a rare clinical entity that may be associated with sino-orbital disease. The clinical presentation of SOVT may include signs of venous congestion, such as unilateral ptosis, chemosis, ophthalmoplegia, and eyelid swelling, with or without fundus findings. This case report describes a case of SOVT associated with orbital cellulitis diagnosed with magnetic resonance imaging and treated using anticoagulant therapy, antibiotherapy, and a corticosteroid.
