Abstract Background Postoperative endophthalmitis (PSE) is a severe ocular complication that can lead to irreversible vision loss or even globe atrophy. The Endophthalmitis Vitrectomy Study (EVS) historically guided PSE management but increasingly questioned due advances in pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) techniques and its narrow focus on cataract surgery. This study aimed compare PPV followed by intravitreal antibiotic injection at the end of surgery (PPV + IVAIES) with alone (IVAI) managing...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To evaluate 810-nm subthreshold diode micropulse (SDM) laser in patients with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). PATIENTS METHODS: Prospective, randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled pilot trial. Patients were randomized to SDM treatment (group 1) or sham procedure 2). Primary outcome measure was change best corrected visual acuity (BCVA); secondary macular thickness after 3 months. Laser performed along the detached area. At 3-month visit, all...
A retinopatia da prematuridade é uma das principais causas de cegueira na infância, havendo cerca 50.000 crianças cegas pela doença em todo o mundo. deficiência visual causada dá-se função descolamento retina tracional. O exame rotina prematuros possibilita a identificação formas graves doença, cujo tratamento por fotocoagulação ou crioterapia pode reduzir significativamente (ROP). seguir serão apresentadas as diretrizes brasileiras para e daqueles com forma grave (ROP), recomendadas...
To determine the effects of lens status on success rate primary pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment using either perfluoropropane gas (C3F8) or silicone oil (SO) tamponade.A retrospective chart analysis was made 97 eyes from 92 patients with no proliferative vitreoretinopathy that were treated 23-gauge PPV. Eyes included in this phakic (n = 28), pseudophakic 41), subject to simultaneous phacoemulsification, intraocular implantation, and PPV during repair 28)....
To describe the morphologic characteristics of commotio retinae using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography and to evaluate its utility in prognosis follow-up.Consecutive patients with underwent complete ophthalmic examination, color fundus photography, tomography, autofluorescence, near-infrared autofluorescence.There were 11 eyes (8 men), a mean age 30.8 ± 12.1 years. The follow-up ranged from 9 days 6 months. Spectral-domain identified hyperreflectivity underneath inner/outer...
To assess the sensitivity and specificity of retinopathy prematurity score (ROPScore) weight, insulin-like growth factor-1, algorithm in predicting risk developing severe (prethreshold type 1) a sample preterm infants Brazil. Retrospective analysis medical records (n=288) with birth weight ≤1500 g and/or gestational age 23-32 weeks neonatal unit Southern Brazil from May 2013 to December 2020 (92 months). The incidence confirmed was 6.6%. ROPScore showed 100% sensitivity, 44.6% (95%...
We report a case of patient with bilateral partial retrolental leukocoria and clear lenses. Binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy identified peripheral retina atrophy in both eyes laser photocoagulation was performed order to prevent retinal detachment eyes. Ophthalmic B-scan ultrasound doppler echography disclosed microphthalmia axial length 17.85 mm the right eye 18.27 left eye, multiple tubular stalks fibrovascular tissue, attached posterior surface lens, connecting optic nerve, consistent...
Abstract Background/Objectives Postoperative endophthalmitis is a rare but severe complication of cataract surgery. Intracameral moxifloxacin prophylaxis has been widely adopted, concerns remain regarding bacterial resistance and clinical outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the impact intracameral on incidence, microbiological patterns, antibiotic resistance, visual outcomes in university hospital setting, with comparison private cohort. Subjects/Methods retrospective cohort analyzed...
The results of a patient with exudative age-related macular degeneration who received an intravitreal injection ziv-aflibercept (Zaltrap; Sanofi-Aventis, Paris, France) in the right eye are described. A complete ocular examination as well color fundus photography, optical coherence tomography, fluorescein angiography, microperimetry, full-field electroretinography, and multifocal electroretinography were performed repeated 1 month later. experienced subjective objective improvement visual...
To describe the ocular findings of two infants with congenital Zika syndrome born in São Paulo state, Brazil, outside primary outbreak region.Two female were submitted to a complete screening for infectious diseases, as well examination, fundus photography, and optical coherence tomography retina. One was ultrasound.Both children showed positive serology virus, other diseases ruled out. On one newborn had extensive bilateral macular chorioretinal atrophy hyperpigmented borders associated...
AbstractPurpose. To evaluate the potential benefit and complications of indocyanine green-mediated photothrombosis (IMP) in management patients with persistent central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). Methods. Interventional noncomparative case series. Eleven CSC presenting subretinal fluid optical coherence tomography (OCT) four months after presentation decrease visual acuity (VA) were submitted to a single IMP session 2 mg/kg body weight ICG application 5.6 W/cm light at 810 nm. A...
To investigate the histologic and clinical effects of subretinal injection patent blue (PB) trypan (TB) in rabbits.Dutch-belted rabbits (n=8) were vitrectomized followed by 2.4 mg/ml PB (285 mOsm) 1.5 TB (312 mOsm); balanced salt solution (BSS) (300 served as control. Animals examined 6, 12, 24 hr 14 days after procedure fluorescein angiography (FA) indirect ophthalmoscopy; for retinal toxicity, evaluation studies performed light transmission electron microscopy.FA examination demonstrated...
We retrospectively evaluated a heavy silicone oil (HSO) as long-term intraocular endotamponade agent to treat complicated RD by inferior PVR in 25 eyes of patients. Patients underwent PPV and injection Oxane HD an internal tamponade agent. A comparison preoperative postoperative BCVA at month 1, 6, last visit was made the group which HSO removed not removed. Statistical calculations were performed using Wilcoxon test. The from 11 patients after mean 26.55 ± 21.38 months. remained inside...
Background. To describe the standard autofluorescence (FAF), near infrared (NIA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) patterns in central serous chorioretinopathy, correlating them with fluorescein angiography. Methods. Cross-sectional observational study, which patients at least seven months of CSC underwent ophthalmologic examination, fundus photography, FAF, NIA, angiography (FA), spectral-domain OCT. Results. Seventeen eyes thirteen were included. The presentation features a mottled...
To investigate the relationship between retinal sensitivity and persistence of subretinal fluid then to analyze microperimetry as a prognostic predictor acute central serous chorioretinopathy.A prospective observational study. Fourteen eyes 14 patients presenting with first episode chorioretinopathy were enrolled underwent ocular examination, spectral domain optical coherence tomography, MAIA performed. After three months follow-up, without any treatment, visual acuity tomography macular...
