From May 2017 to March 2020, 62 MHRD patients with PS(62 eyes) were enrolled in the study. Patients were divided into 23 G PPV combined with PS marginal retina intraoperative photocoagulation group(combined group) and conventional surgery group(conventional group), with 31 eyes in each. Triamcinolone acetonide and indocyanine green were used to remove the epiretinal membrane and the posterior macular inner limiting membrane(ILM). In the combined group, 2 to 3 rows of retinal photocoagulation were performed on the edge of the PS. The patients were followed up for an average of 8.34±3.21 mo. The first retinal reattachment rate, macular hole closure rate, Duration of silicone oil tamponade, best corrected visual acuity(BCVA) and average number of operations were observed and compared between the two groups.RESULTS: The first retinal reattachment rates of the eyes in the combined group and the conventional group were 96.7%(29/31) and 67.7%(21/31), respectively(χ~2=6.613, P=0.010). The macular hole closure rates in the combined group and the conventional group were 74.2%(23/31) and 67.7%(21/31), respectively(χ~2=0.128, P=0.721). The Duration of silicone oil tamponade of the patients in the combined group was lower than that of the routine group(t=-41.962, P≤0.001). Postoperative log MAR BCVA values of patients in the combined group and the conventional group were 1.27±0.12 and 1.26±0.11, compared with the log MAR BCVA before surgery, each group was improved(t=19.947, t=-19.517, P≤0.001, P≤0.001). There was no significant difference in the log MAR BCVA between the eyes of the two groups(t=-0.394, P=0.695). The average numbers of operations on the eyes in the conventional group and the combined group were 2.39±0.62 and 2.06±0.25 times, the combined group had fewer operations on average(t=-2.705, P=0.009). CONCLUSION: Intraoperative PPV treatment of MHRD with PS combined with PS marginal endolaser photocoagulation can effectively increase the rate of retinal reattachment after the first operation, reduce the number of repeated operations, and reduce the postoperative duration of silicone oil tamponade.展开更多

Methods: Eight children with morning glory syndrome (mean age 8.0±2.8 years; range 5~13 years) were included; all patients had unilateral eye disease and were initially misdiagnosed as having bilateral squint or amblyopia, with best corrected visual acuity <6/60. Five patients could not cooperate with the fundus examination and one patient had lens opacities.B-ultrasound confirmed that all eight patients had retinal detachment and optic disc dysplasia.All patients underwent standard 3-port pars plana vitrectomy surgery . (20G for three cases and 23G for five cases).At surgery,all patients were confirmed to have morning glory syndrome,macular hole, and proliferative retinal detachment;.two cases had a funnel shaped bulge. All the retinal detachments involved the macular area, and macular hole was detected in the abnormal expansion excavation of the optic disk. The epiretinal membrane and subretinal membrane were completely removed during surgery. Combined photocoagulation in the abnormal expansion excavation of the optic disk, and silicone oil tamponade were also performed. Results:All eyes achieved anatomical resolution of retinal detachment.After follow-ups ranging from eight months to four years,the visual function for all patients was improved by postoperative refractive correction associated with vision training. Best corrected visual acuity was 6/600 to 6/30 at the final follow-up, no retinal detachment recurred, and no silicone oil fluid entered the subretinal space. The silicone oil was successfully removed postoperatively after a mean of 1.5 years. Conclusion:Vitrectomy with peripapillary photocoagulation and silicone oil tamponade is effective in treating the proliferative retinal detachment associated with macular hole in children with morning glory syndrome.

In this study, we evaluated the possible role of dopamine in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment(RRD) by comparing the amount of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid(DOPAC), a surrogate index of retinal dopamin levels, in the vitreous sample of patients affected by RRD with those affected by macular pucker and vitre ous hemorrhage. Our results showed that significantly higher levels of DOPAC were found in the vitreou sample of patients affected by RRD compared with those affected by vitreous hemorrhage and macula pucker(P = 0.002). Specifically, no trace of the substance was found in vitreous hemorrhage and macula pucker samples. A slightly significant positive correlation was found among DOPAC and post-operativ best corrected visual acuity(r = 0.470, P = 0.049). No correlation was found between DOPAC and the day elapsed between diagnosis and surgery(P = 0.317). For the first time our findings suggest that DOPAC i released in RRD, but not in other retinal diseases such as vitreous hemorrhage and macular pucker. More over, we showed a correlation between visual acuity outcome and the amount of DOPAC in the vitreous This might have a potential, although still unknown, implication in the pathogenesis of the disease and/o in the associated photoreceptors loss. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Rome Tor Ver gata University Hospital(R.S.92.10) on September 24, 2010.展开更多

But it was not clear about the correlations between anteroposterior traction, posterior vitreous cortex (PVC) and MH-RD. The vitreous status in highly myopic eyes were analyzed to explore the effect of PVC in the role of MH-RD formation. Methods Sixteen consecutive highly myopic eyes with RD due to MH were retrospectively analyzed from January 2009 to April 2009. The preoperative examinations for detecting posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) and vitreoretinal traction included B-mode ultrasonography and optical coherence tomography (OCT). The residual PVC and PVD were confirmed intraoperatively during triamcinolone acetonide (TA) assisted vitrectomy. Results Under ultrasonography, the preoperative PVD patterns were stratified as: complete PVD in three (19%) eyes, partial PVD in eight (50%) eyes, and no PVD in five (31%) eyes. OCT confirmed vitreoretinal traction and no complete PVD in 10 (63%) eyes, including anteroposterior traction in four eyes and tangential traction in six eyes. During TA-assisted vitrectomy, it was confirmed that no complete PVD existed in 16 eyes, including six eyes (38%) finally diagnosed of partial PVD, and five (31%) eyes with vitreoschisis. Anteroposterior vitreoretinal traction around MH is always in conjunction with partial PVD (67%), and high proportion (80%) of vitreoschisis is associated with tangential vitreoretinal traction. Comparing with the precision of TA staining of PVD diagnosis, the coincidence rate of ultrasonography was 69% (P=0.02), and that of OCT was 63% (P 〈0.01). Conclusions The residual PVC due to partial PVD or vitreoschisis may cause the anteroposterior or tangential traction of macular area, which contributes to the formation of MH and subsequent RD in highly myopic eyes. And it is necessary to realize the vitreoretinal relationship and assess the status of PVC synthetically for surgery by combined ultrasonography and OCT preoperatively and TA staining intraoperatively.展开更多

All patients underwent general ophthalmologic examinations, fundus examination and optical coherence tomography(OCT). The RB and/or lattice degeneration were recorded.Results: Totally 183 eyes of 167 patients were included. The sex ratio of men to women was 1:2.88. A total of 17 eyes were pseudophakic and 166 eyes were phakic. RB and/or lattice degeneration were found in 62 eyes(33.88%). The prevalence of RB and/or lattice degeneration was similar between men and women(P=0.344>0.05). There was no statistical difference between the pseudophakic eyes and phakic eyes(P=0.138>0.05). All of the RB and/or lattice degeneration were located near or anterior to the equator. The inferior quadrants and the vertical meridian were af ected more often than the superior quadrants and the horizontal meridian.Conclusions: We identified a high incidence of RB/lattice degeneration in cases of full-thickness MH. Carefully examination of the peripheral retina and prophylactic treatment of RB and/or lattice degeneration are critical.展开更多

Methodology: This is a retrospective analytical study, carried out in a specialized liberal center in Lomé. It was based on the analysis of OCT images of the retina, carried out with patients between October 2012 and October 2014. The variables collected were the socio-demographic characteristics, which were the various pathologies of the vitreoretinal interface. Results: 303 eyes of 164 patients were analyzed. The population was predominantly female (sex ratio = 0.95) aged 9 to 84 years with an average of 52.93 years. 121 eyes (39.9%) had posterior vitreous detachment with 66.1% in the 50 - 70 age group. 42 eyes (13.86%) presented vitreomacular traction with 66.6% in the 50 - 70 age group. 31 eyes (10.23%) presented an epi-retinal membrane with 61.2% in the 50 - 70 age group. 33 eyes (10.89%) had a full-thickness macular hole with 69.6% in the 50 - 70 age group. 4 eyes had a lamellar hole and 1 eye had a pseudo hole. Conclusion: OCT is an excellent tool for non-invasive exploration of the vitreoretinal interface. It gives precise information on the various pathologies of this interface. The need to evaluate the functional impact of these abnormalities, calls for other studies, especially prospective studies to assert their reality of those disease.展开更多

文摘AIM: To observe the clinical effect of pars plana vitrectomy(PPV) and silicone oil filling surgery combined with intraoperative posterior scleral staphyloma(PS) marginal retinal photocoagulation in the treatment of high myopic macular hole retinal detachment(MHRD) with PS.METHODS: This was a retrospective clinical study. From May 2017 to March 2020, 62 MHRD patients with PS(62 eyes) were enrolled in the study. Patients were divided into 23 G PPV combined with PS marginal retina intraoperative photocoagulation group(combined group) and conventional surgery group(conventional group), with 31 eyes in each. Triamcinolone acetonide and indocyanine green were used to remove the epiretinal membrane and the posterior macular inner limiting membrane(ILM). In the combined group, 2 to 3 rows of retinal photocoagulation were performed on the edge of the PS. The patients were followed up for an average of 8.34±3.21 mo. The first retinal reattachment rate, macular hole closure rate, Duration of silicone oil tamponade, best corrected visual acuity(BCVA) and average number of operations were observed and compared between the two groups.RESULTS: The first retinal reattachment rates of the eyes in the combined group and the conventional group were 96.7%(29/31) and 67.7%(21/31), respectively(χ~2=6.613, P=0.010). The macular hole closure rates in the combined group and the conventional group were 74.2%(23/31) and 67.7%(21/31), respectively(χ~2=0.128, P=0.721). The Duration of silicone oil tamponade of the patients in the combined group was lower than that of the routine group(t=-41.962, P≤0.001). Postoperative log MAR BCVA values of patients in the combined group and the conventional group were 1.27±0.12 and 1.26±0.11, compared with the log MAR BCVA before surgery, each group was improved(t=19.947, t=-19.517, P≤0.001, P≤0.001). There was no significant difference in the log MAR BCVA between the eyes of the two groups(t=-0.394, P=0.695). The average numbers of operations on the eyes in the conventional group and the combined group were 2.39±0.62 and 2.06±0.25 times, the combined group had fewer operations on average(t=-2.705, P=0.009). CONCLUSION: Intraoperative PPV treatment of MHRD with PS combined with PS marginal endolaser photocoagulation can effectively increase the rate of retinal reattachment after the first operation, reduce the number of repeated operations, and reduce the postoperative duration of silicone oil tamponade.

Compared to preoperative BCVA,.the mean postoperative BCVA in the eyes with anatomical success was significantly improved (P = 0.007, Wilcoxon signed rank test). Conclusion:.As a primary or secondary procedure,.PPV combined with ILM peeling and usage of retinal tamponade serves as an effective method for MHRD in highly myopic eyes.
文摘Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of vitrectomy with peripapillary photocoagulation and silicone oil tamponade for the proliferative retinal detachment associated with macular hole in children with morning glory syndrome. Methods: Eight children with morning glory syndrome (mean age 8.0±2.8 years; range 5~13 years) were included; all patients had unilateral eye disease and were initially misdiagnosed as having bilateral squint or amblyopia, with best corrected visual acuity <6/60. Five patients could not cooperate with the fundus examination and one patient had lens opacities.B-ultrasound confirmed that all eight patients had retinal detachment and optic disc dysplasia.All patients underwent standard 3-port pars plana vitrectomy surgery . (20G for three cases and 23G for five cases).At surgery,all patients were confirmed to have morning glory syndrome,macular hole, and proliferative retinal detachment;.two cases had a funnel shaped bulge. All the retinal detachments involved the macular area, and macular hole was detected in the abnormal expansion excavation of the optic disk. The epiretinal membrane and subretinal membrane were completely removed during surgery. Combined photocoagulation in the abnormal expansion excavation of the optic disk, and silicone oil tamponade were also performed. Results:All eyes achieved anatomical resolution of retinal detachment.After follow-ups ranging from eight months to four years,the visual function for all patients was improved by postoperative refractive correction associated with vision training. Best corrected visual acuity was 6/600 to 6/30 at the final follow-up, no retinal detachment recurred, and no silicone oil fluid entered the subretinal space. The silicone oil was successfully removed postoperatively after a mean of 1.5 years. Conclusion:Vitrectomy with peripapillary photocoagulation and silicone oil tamponade is effective in treating the proliferative retinal detachment associated with macular hole in children with morning glory syndrome.

文摘AIM:To study and compare the predisposing factors and clinical features of pediatric,adult,and elderly rhegmatogenous retinal detachment(RRD).METHODS:This is an observational analytic crosssectional study in which patients with RRD admitted for surgery during 6mo period were divided into 3 age groups:pediatric(<18y),adult(18-60y),and elderly(>60y).Patients’demographic data,clinical features,RRD predisposing factors/features including myopia(axial length≥26.5 mm),aphakia/pseudophakia,blunt trauma,peripheral retinal degenerations,history of RRD in the fellow eye,and surgical interventions/findings were recorded and analyzed.RESULTS:Totally 142 patients(142 eyes)were studied:26(18.31%)pediatrics,86(60.56%)adults,and 30(21.13%)elderly.Elderly patients had a significantly higher intraocular pressures and cataracts compared to the other 2 groups(P=0.04).The RRD extent was larger in pediatric group(mostly 4 quadrants)compared to adults and elderly(mostly 2 quadrants),but it was not statistically insignificant(P=0.242).There were not statistically significantly differences in proliferative vitreoretinopathy(PVR)rate,posterior vitreous detachment(PVD)rate,number,site,shape,and size of breaks in three groups.All three groups had macular detachment in all eyes.Myopia and peripheral retinal degenerations were found to be more significant in adults(P=0.049,P=0.035,respectively),while blunt trauma was higher but insignificant in pediatric eyes(P=0.052).Pars plana vitrectomy(PPV)with silicone oil as a tamponade was the most used surgery in all groups.CONCLUSION:There are no significant difference in PVR rate in pediatric eyes but a significant higher rate of total RRD.Blunt trauma is more frequent in pediatrics eyes while myopia and/or peripheral retinal degenerations are more frequent in older ages.The rate of PPV as a choice for surgery is similar among all age groups.
文摘Dopamine and its receptors have been widely studied in the neurological conditions and in the retina. In this study, we evaluated the possible role of dopamine in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment(RRD) by comparing the amount of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid(DOPAC), a surrogate index of retinal dopamin levels, in the vitreous sample of patients affected by RRD with those affected by macular pucker and vitre ous hemorrhage. Our results showed that significantly higher levels of DOPAC were found in the vitreou sample of patients affected by RRD compared with those affected by vitreous hemorrhage and macula pucker(P = 0.002). Specifically, no trace of the substance was found in vitreous hemorrhage and macula pucker samples. A slightly significant positive correlation was found among DOPAC and post-operativ best corrected visual acuity(r = 0.470, P = 0.049). No correlation was found between DOPAC and the day elapsed between diagnosis and surgery(P = 0.317). For the first time our findings suggest that DOPAC i released in RRD, but not in other retinal diseases such as vitreous hemorrhage and macular pucker. More over, we showed a correlation between visual acuity outcome and the amount of DOPAC in the vitreous This might have a potential, although still unknown, implication in the pathogenesis of the disease and/o in the associated photoreceptors loss. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Rome Tor Ver gata University Hospital(R.S.92.10) on September 24, 2010.
文摘Background It was well known that tangential vitreoretinal traction and epiretinal membrane play important roles during the formation of macular hole (MH) associated with retinal detachment (RD) in highly myopic eyes. But it was not clear about the correlations between anteroposterior traction, posterior vitreous cortex (PVC) and MH-RD. The vitreous status in highly myopic eyes were analyzed to explore the effect of PVC in the role of MH-RD formation. Methods Sixteen consecutive highly myopic eyes with RD due to MH were retrospectively analyzed from January 2009 to April 2009. The preoperative examinations for detecting posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) and vitreoretinal traction included B-mode ultrasonography and optical coherence tomography (OCT). The residual PVC and PVD were confirmed intraoperatively during triamcinolone acetonide (TA) assisted vitrectomy. Results Under ultrasonography, the preoperative PVD patterns were stratified as: complete PVD in three (19%) eyes, partial PVD in eight (50%) eyes, and no PVD in five (31%) eyes. OCT confirmed vitreoretinal traction and no complete PVD in 10 (63%) eyes, including anteroposterior traction in four eyes and tangential traction in six eyes. During TA-assisted vitrectomy, it was confirmed that no complete PVD existed in 16 eyes, including six eyes (38%) finally diagnosed of partial PVD, and five (31%) eyes with vitreoschisis. Anteroposterior vitreoretinal traction around MH is always in conjunction with partial PVD (67%), and high proportion (80%) of vitreoschisis is associated with tangential vitreoretinal traction. Comparing with the precision of TA staining of PVD diagnosis, the coincidence rate of ultrasonography was 69% (P=0.02), and that of OCT was 63% (P 〈0.01). Conclusions The residual PVC due to partial PVD or vitreoschisis may cause the anteroposterior or tangential traction of macular area, which contributes to the formation of MH and subsequent RD in highly myopic eyes. And it is necessary to realize the vitreoretinal relationship and assess the status of PVC synthetically for surgery by combined ultrasonography and OCT preoperatively and TA staining intraoperatively.
文摘Dear Sir, I am Dr. Hui Li, from the Department of Ophthalmology of Shanghai Tenth People’s Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University in Shanghai, China. I write to report a case of neovascularized pigment epithelial detachment (PED) successfully treated with vitrectomy.

文摘Background: The purpose is to investigate the relationship between full-thickness macular hole(MH) and retinal break(RB) and/or lattice degeneration.Methods: Patients diagnosed as full-thickness MH and referred to Dr. Lin Lu from January 2009 to December 2013 were evaluated. All patients underwent general ophthalmologic examinations, fundus examination and optical coherence tomography(OCT). The RB and/or lattice degeneration were recorded.Results: Totally 183 eyes of 167 patients were included. The sex ratio of men to women was 1:2.88. A total of 17 eyes were pseudophakic and 166 eyes were phakic. RB and/or lattice degeneration were found in 62 eyes(33.88%). The prevalence of RB and/or lattice degeneration was similar between men and women(P=0.344>0.05). There was no statistical difference between the pseudophakic eyes and phakic eyes(P=0.138>0.05). All of the RB and/or lattice degeneration were located near or anterior to the equator. The inferior quadrants and the vertical meridian were af ected more often than the superior quadrants and the horizontal meridian.Conclusions: We identified a high incidence of RB/lattice degeneration in cases of full-thickness MH. Carefully examination of the peripheral retina and prophylactic treatment of RB and/or lattice degeneration are critical.
文摘Purpose: To identify the pathologies of the vitreoretinal interface by Optical Coherence Tomography OCT of the retina in Lomé. Methodology: This is a retrospective analytical study, carried out in a specialized liberal center in Lomé. It was based on the analysis of OCT images of the retina, carried out with patients between October 2012 and October 2014. The variables collected were the socio-demographic characteristics, which were the various pathologies of the vitreoretinal interface. Results: 303 eyes of 164 patients were analyzed. The population was predominantly female (sex ratio = 0.95) aged 9 to 84 years with an average of 52.93 years. 121 eyes (39.9%) had posterior vitreous detachment with 66.1% in the 50 - 70 age group. 42 eyes (13.86%) presented vitreomacular traction with 66.6% in the 50 - 70 age group. 31 eyes (10.23%) presented an epi-retinal membrane with 61.2% in the 50 - 70 age group. 33 eyes (10.89%) had a full-thickness macular hole with 69.6% in the 50 - 70 age group. 4 eyes had a lamellar hole and 1 eye had a pseudo hole. Conclusion: OCT is an excellent tool for non-invasive exploration of the vitreoretinal interface. It gives precise information on the various pathologies of this interface. The need to evaluate the functional impact of these abnormalities, calls for other studies, especially prospective studies to assert their reality of those disease.
文摘AIM: To evaluate the long-term anatomical and visual outcomes of drusenoid pigment epithelial detachment(D-PED) in intermediate age-related macular degeneration(AMD) eyes treated with 577 nm yellow subthreshold micropulse laser(SML).METHODS: In this retrospective study, 21 eyes of 16 patients with D-PED in intermediate AMD were consecutively included and assessed.All the eyes were treated with 577 nm SML in several sessions according to D-PED growth status.The logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution(logMAR) best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA) were assessed at the initial visit and after treatment.Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography(SD-OCT) was performed to evaluate the D-PED lifecycle by volumetric calculations.Regression analysis was used to determine the breakpoint, growth, and collapse rate of the D-PED lesions.The progression to advanced AMD was also documented.RESULTS: All the eyes were treated with SML for 2.9±1.0 sessions.The mean follow-up period was 25.3±12.6 mo.The BCVA was stable from the baseline to final visit.All the eyes were categorized into two groups according to the anatomical changes of the D-PED lesion: the collapse group(n=6, 28.6%) and non-collapse group(n=15, 71.4%).The change in logMAR BCVA did not differ significantly between the collapse group 0.00(-0.31, 0.85) and non-collapse group 0.00(0.00, 0.00;P=1).Regression analysis showed that the growth rate was significantly higher in the collapse group(0.090±0.095 mm;/mo) than in the non-collapse group(0.025±0.035 mm;/mo;P<0.001).One eye(4.8%) developed macular neovascularization at 11 mo after SML treatment in the non-collapse group.Three eyes(14.3%) developed geographic atrophy(GA) in the collapse group.CONCLUSION: Compared to the natural course of D-PED reported by previous studies, our results preliminarily show that SML can alleviate visual loss and possibility of progression to advanced AMD in eyes with D-PED in intermediate AMD.A controlled clinical trial needs to further verify the benefit of the intervention.
