To describe a patient whose initial sign of giant cell arteritis was a branch retinal artery occlusion. ⋯ Although a rare cause of branch retinal vascular occlusion, giant cell arteritis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a non-embolic branch retinal artery occlusion in elderly patients.
-
To repair iridodialysis in a traumatized eye with minimal surgical manipulation. ⋯ Compared with other procedures, this technique is simple and provides the least amount of ocular manipulation for iridodialysis repair.
-
To provide a practical review for the ophthalmologist of advances in neuroimaging of the visual pathways. ⋯ A practical approach for selection of the most appropriate imaging modalities by the ophthalmologist is suggested on the basis of the anatomic location and type of disease suspected.
-
To examine patient outcomes from golf-related ocular injuries. ⋯ Although unpredictable and difficult to avoid, proper golf etiquette and safety may diminish the incidence of golf-related ocular injures.
-
To determine the prevalence of vision-threatening retinal hemorrhages in infants after venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and possible correlation between retinal hemorrhages and brain hemorrhages, thrombocytopenia, carotid reanastomosis, or death after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. ⋯ Retinal hemorrhages observed after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation are not necessarily caused by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation; some hemorrhages may be benign and related to parturition. Children who undergo venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation are at low risk for vision-threatening retinal hemorrhage.
