Pseudonystagmus in trochlear nerve palsy.

We present the case report of a patient who presented with intermittent diplopia and left hypertropia associated with an apparent left superior oblique palsy. After dissociation with cover testing, he showed conjugate rhythmic vertical eye movements present in all gazes, thought to represent rapid rhythmically alternating fixation. The vertical rhythmic movement resolved after strabismus surgery.

Direct transretinal removal of subfoveal perfluorocarbon liquid: the role and timing of internal limiting membrane peeling.

Purpose: To describe a case series including 4 patients undergoing direct transretinal aspiration of subfoveal perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) and internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling after macula-off retinal detachment surgery.

Methods: Four patients who had undergone vitreoretinal surgery due to primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were further treated because of retained subfoveal PFCL. Direct transretinal aspiration of PFCL through a self-sealing foveal retinotomy was performed in all cases using a 41-G needle placed on the top of the bubble.

Scleral buckling in phakic uncomplicated primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment: long-term outcomes.

Purpose: Scleral buckling (SB) is a surgical technique that has been used successfully to treat retinal detachments for the last 6 decades. The aim of this study was to report the long-term anatomical and functional outcomes of SB surgery in phakic patients with uncomplicated primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (PRRD). This article also outlines the benefits of SB compared to pars plana vitrectomy, such as reducing the risk of developing cataract, high intraocular pressure, and glaucoma, in addition to reducing surgical cost.

Endoresection technique with/without brachytherapy for management of high posterior choroidal melanoma: extended follow-up results.

Purpose: To evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of endoresection for high posterior choroidal melanoma.

Methods: Retrospective nonrandomized interventional case series. Forty-one patients had endoresection as primary treatment for posterior choroidal melanoma.
