To compare the number of eye surgical procedures performed in Italy 2 months following beginning lockdown (study period) because COVID-19 epidemic with those two earlier same year (intra-year control) and period 2019 corresponding to (inter-year control).Retrospective analysis carried out at 39 Academic hospitals. A distinction was made between elective urgent procedures. Intravitreal injections were also considered. Percentages for all incidence rate ratios (IRR) rhegmatogenous retinal...
To analyze epidemiology, clinical features, and surgical outcomes of type III acute acquired concomitant esotropia (Bielschowsky (BE)).
Purpose: To evaluate the peripapillary area in eyes of patients with Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (iNPH) before and after shunt surgery. Methods: Twenty iNPH were prospectively recruited. Enhance depth imaging-optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) was performed to image region. Using a 360-degree 3.4 mm diameter circle scan, choroidal thickness (PPCT) manually measured compared 20 healthy-age-matched controls. PPCT assessed at least 6 months from VP surgery 12 patients. Results:...
There is an ongoing debate on whether encircling scleral buckling (SB) procedure for the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) may cause impairment in choroidal blood flow. The aim this study was to compare vascularity index (CVI) and subfoveal thickness (CT) between eyes that had undergone SB with unoperated fellow (FEs).Thirty patients treated unilateral RRD were included. Demographic clinical characteristics as well enhanced depth imaging-optical coherence tomography scans...
Abstract Purpose To evaluate changes in peripapillary vascular blood flow indices (PVBFI) patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) using OCT angiography (OCTA) technology. Methods Patients TAO and control subjects matched for age sex were included the study. Eye examination, Clinical Activity Score (CAS) evaluation OCTA scan analysis (Topcon ImageNet 6; DRI Triton, Topcon Corporation) performed. In particular, PVBFI of superficial capillary plexus (SCP), deep (DCP), outer retina...
A 41-year-old man presented to the emergency department complaining of decrease vision in his left eye. Initial examination was consistent with retrobulbar optic neuritis, and an intravenous drip methylprednisolone started. On third day, fundus revealed appearance multiple Purtscher-like cotton-wool spots posterior pole nasally disc, slight retinal whitening around fovea, cherry-red spot. The patient reported flu-like symptoms, he tested positive at PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test for...
Abstract Backgrounds To report the long-term surgical outcomes and impact on daily life activities of strabismus surgery in patients with Thyroid Associated Orbitopathy (TAO) without previous orbital decompression. Methods Patients who underwent for TAO were retrospectively reviewed. The primary outcome was to evaluate influence decompression related surgery. Surgical success defined by resolution diplopia a post-operative deviation < 10 prism diopters (PD). secondary clinical features,...
To describe a case of bilateral multifocal chorioretinitis as the only presentation acute West Nile virus (WNV) infection in absence neurological involvement.
Abstract Purpose Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is associated with an increased prevalence of open-angle glaucoma, attributed to variations the gradient between intraocular and intracranial compartments at level lamina cribrosa (LC). As ocular biomechanics influence behavior LC, a lower corneal hysteresis (CH) has been higher risk glaucomatous optic nerve damage, in this study we compared iNPH patients healthy subjects. Methods Twenty-four eyes 24 non-shunted were...
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) can sometimes affect the eyelids and in particular eyelid margin, where it often be misdiagnosed, mimicking other benign, more common diseases. Dermoscopy may provide additional diagnostic criteria for an earlier diagnosis of margin BCC, although dermoscopic features BCC affecting this anatomical site have seldom been reported. We highlight peculiar presence linear vessels perpendicular to BCCs margin. Our article represents first report these findings a series
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the effect long-lasting botulinum A toxin injections on ocular surface parameters and further investigate relationship between these duration treatment. Methods: In retrospective study, patients with unilateral hemifacial spasm who were receiving for at least 1 year analyzed. Healthy contralateral eyes acted as controls. examination included Ocular Surface Disease Index questionnaire, Schirmer test type I, tear film break-up time (TFBUT),...
The present study aims to investigate the choroidal morphology and microvascular structure in eyes of patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) compared healthy age-matched individuals, assess iNPH before after shunt surgery using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). primary objective was ventriculo-peritoneal (VP) age sex-matched individuals. secondary compare a mean 56 days from surgery. Eighteen consecutive diagnosed 18 controls were prospectively recruited between...
