Third nerve palsy and serous retinal detachment with preeclampsia.

Hypertens Pregnancy

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Graduate School of Comprehensive Human Sciences, University of Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan.

Published: May 2006

Visual disturbances occur more frequently during preeclampsia than during pregnancy in general, but visual disturbances due to cranial nerve palsy are rare. We present the case of a 35-year-old preeclamptic woman with left third nerve palsy and left serous retinal detachment. The patient complained of visual disturbance and double vision soon after cesarean section. Left third nerve palsy and left serous retinal detachment were diagnosed by urgent ophthalmologic evaluation. Aneurysm and organic brain lesion were ruled out by diagnostic imaging. By 2 months postpartum, the visual disturbance had improved spontaneously.

Introduction: A hybrid approach with very high-power short-duration (vHPSD) posteriorly and ablation-index guided HPSD (50 W) anteriorly seems to be an optimal balance between efficiency and effectiveness for point-by-point pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). The aim of the current study is to compare vHPSD/HPSD ablation to cryoballoon ablation (CBA) in patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF).

Methods And Results: In this retrospective single-center study, we identified 110 consecutive patients who underwent their first PVI with either vHPSD/HPSD (n = 54) or CBA (n = 56).

Anatomical Characterization of the Motor Branch to the Fourth Lumbrical: A Cadaver Study.

J Hand Surg Am

January 2025

Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL.

Purpose: The branching pattern of the deep motor branch of the ulnar nerve (DBUN) in the hand is complex. The anatomy of the motor branch innervating the fourth lumbrical (4L), where paralysis results in a claw hand deformity after ulnar nerve injury, is not well defined. This cadaver study focused on mapping and defining anatomical landmarks in relation to the motor branch to the 4L.

Bell's palsy (BP) is a neurological disorder characterized by sudden unilateral peripheral facial paralysis. The etiology in children remains largely unknown, and standardized management strategies are lacking. The aim of this retrospective cohort study is to evaluate clinical features, laboratory markers, and therapeutic options associated with recovery to identify potential prognostic factors and validate therapeutic strategies, with a particular focus on the role of corticosteroids and vitamin supplementation.

December 2024

Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Kansai Medical University, Shinmachi 2-5-1, Hirakata 573-1010, Osaka, Japan.

Parotid surgery is generally performed with the naked eye or using surgical loupes. However, this approach has technical disadvantages. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the use of an exoscope with that of loupe for parotidectomies.

Objective: To report ocular examination findings before and after total ear canal ablation and lateral bulla osteotomy (TECALBO) and ventral bulla osteotomy (VBO) in cats and dogs.

Methods: At The Ohio State University and MedVet Columbus, ophthalmic examinations were performed on client-owned animals for which a TECALBO or VBO was indicated. Examination findings and postoperative complications relating to ophthalmic and/or neuro-ophthalmic diseases were recorded prior to surgery (T0) and at 1 day (T1), 2 to 3 weeks (T14), and ± 2 months (T60) postoperatively.
