Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare ocular and systemic parameters between proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) cases with postoperative vitreous hemorrhage (PVH) and those without PVH after 25-gauge vitrectomy, and to investigate the predictors of PVH.
Methods: The medical records of 106 eyes of 78 consecutive patients who underwent primary 25-gauge vitrectomy were reviewed.
Results: The incidences of early and late PVH were found to be 18.9 % (20/106 eyes) and 17.9 % (19/106 eyes) respectively. On multiple logistic regression analysis, intraoperative bleeding from new vessels on the disc was identified as the most important factor, with the greatest odds ratio, for the development of early PVH (odds ratio = 3.395, P = 0.134), while the HbA1c level was identified as the most important significant factor, with the greatest odds ratio, for the development of late PVH (odds ratio = 1.403, P = 0.014).
Conclusions: Early PVH tends to occur in severe PDR cases, while late PVH tends to occur in cases with poor diabetic control.

Transcorneal Vitrectomy in Eyes with Regressed Retinoblastoma.
Retina
June 2024
Roski Eye Institute, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, USA.
Purpose: Current treatments for retinoblastoma facilitate globe salvage but can result in vitreoretinal disorders that may require surgery. There is controversy on surgical approaches in eyes with retinoblastoma. Here we describe a transcorneal vitrectomy approach that avoids the use of chemotherapy or cryotherapy.

Methods: In this retrospective observational study, patients with a diagnosis of retinal detachment with undetected retinal breaks were enrolled. Standard three-port 25-gauge (G) core and peripheral pars plana vitrectomy was performed.
Vitreous Cytokine Profile in an Eye with a Vasoproliferative Tumor.
Retin Cases Brief Rep
December 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, NYU Langone Health, New York, NY.
Purpose: We present a patient with a primary vasoproliferative tumor (VPT) accompanied by vitreous haze and an epiretinal membrane (ERM). We report for the first time the vitreous cytokine profile from an eye with a primary VPT to explore the relationship between intraocular inflammation and these tumors.
Methods: Retrospective chart review of a single patient case.
