Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography findings in idiopathic lamellar macular hole.

Background: To evaluate demographic, functional, and morphological parameters of idiopathic lamellar macular hole (ILMH).

Methods: Observational longitudinal retrospective study. Optical coherence tomography examinations and corresponding clinical charts of a series of consecutive patients affected by ILMH, between January 2010 and March 2015, from the database of the Department of Ophthalmology of Trento Hospital, Italy, have been collected and examined.

Lamellar macular hole in high myopic eyes with posterior staphyloma: morphological and functional characteristics.

Purpose: To study morphological and functional characteristics of myopic lamellar macular hole (LMH) with posterior staphyloma.

Methods: Retrospective observational longitudinal study. Forty myopic eyes affected by LMH and posterior staphyloma have been examined.

Morphological and clinical characteristics of myopic posterior staphyloma in Caucasians.

Purpose: We aimed to study the morphological characteristics of myopic posterior staphyloma in Caucasians and to evaluate the correlation between posterior staphyloma, myopic macular lesions and visual acuity.

Methods: Ninety eyes of 67 consecutive patients affected by high myopia associated with posterior staphyloma were recruited between January 2012 and December 2013. Posterior staphyloma was classified according to Curtin's criteria.

Dysautonomia and Clinical Outcome in Vegetative State.

A dramatic disorder tentatively attributed to diencephalic-hypothalamic damage or dysfunction, dysautonomia, affects recovery from brain injury. Its incidence, correlation with etiology, and relevance as a predictor of outcome were retrospectively surveyed in 333 patients in vegetative state (VS) for more than 2 weeks at admission. Outcome was assessed according to the Glasgow Outcome Scale.
