1/121. Pseudo-Fleischer ring after hyperopic laser in situ keratomileusis.A 37-year-old woman had bilateral hyperopic laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Six months postoperatively, an epithelial pigmentation ring pattern was identified on both corneas. The appearance of the ring pattern was similar to the iron deposits of the Fleischer ring of keratoconus. While corneal iron deposits in various patterns have been reported after other forms of ocular therapeutic and refractive surgery, this is the first report of the association between hyperopic LASIK and a corneal iron line, which we have called the "pseudo-Fleischer ring."- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = pigment (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/121. Pre-Descemet's membrane hemorrhage after secondary intraocular lens implantation.A 6.0 x 4.0 mm pre-Descemet's membrane hemorrhage with very sharp borders appeared at the temporal portion of the cornea. There was no hyphema in the anterior chamber on the first day after secondary intraocular lens implantation. The hemorrhage resolved almost totally in 1 year without intervention, leaving slight, deep pigmentary changes and minimal diffuse corneal edema.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = pigment (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/121. Postoperative descemet membrane detachment with maintenance of corneal clarity after trabeculectomy.This case report describes an unusual complication of descemet membrane detachment after anterior chamber reformation to treat a flat anterior chamber and hypotony from a trabeculectomy. This large descemet membrane detachment was unexpectedly associated with a clear cornea. Treatment was conservative, and the descemet membrane detachment spontaneously resolved in 6 months.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1460.8073098531keywords = detachment (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/121. Keratopathy and pachymetric changes after photorefractive keratectomy and vitrectomy with silicone oil injection.We present a man who, after bilateral excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) for high myopia in the right eye, had repeated retinal detachment surgery with lensectomy and injection of silicone oil. visual acuity fluctuated in accordance with significant central corneal thickness diurnal variation. The case illustrates the possibility of PRK as a predisposing factor for keratopathy after retinal detachment surgery with silicone injection in an aphakic eye.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 431.49863648553keywords = detachment, retinal detachment (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/121. Compound nevus of the cornea simulating a foreign body.PURPOSE: To report a corneal nevus, without conjunctival involvement, that clinically simulated a metallic foreign body. methods: Case report with clinicopathologic correlation. RESULTS: A 22-year-old man developed a superficial pigmented lesion of his left cornea. It was suspected to be a chronically retained foreign body, but a melanocytic neoplasm could not be excluded. The lesion was removed by lamellar keratectomy and proved histopathologically to be a compound nevus of the cornea, without conjunctival involvement. CONCLUSIONS: Melanocytic nevus can rarely occur in the cornea. Involvement of the cornea by a melanocytic lesion does not necessarily imply a malignant melanoma.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = pigment (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/121. Pre-Descemet's hematoma in a patient of congenital glaucoma with Descemet's detachment: a unique form of hemorrhage.A unique form of anterior segment hemorrhage called Pre-Descemet's hematoma is a previously unreported type of hemorrhage in which blood collects in the narrow space between the corneal stroma and detached Descemet's membrane, which in our case was because of congenital glaucoma associated with Haab's straie.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 834.74703420175keywords = detachment (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/121. Cataract surgery and intraocular lens implantation in anterior megalophthalmos.Six eyes of 4 patients with anterior megalophthalmos, 2 men and 2 women ranging in age from 32 to 47 years, had extracapsular cataract extraction or phacoemulsification and standard posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation. All had a family history of anterior megalophthalmos. Follow-up was from 6 to 30 months. All patients had a preoperative visual acuity of worse than 20/60, which improved to 20/20 in 5 eyes. Zonular dehiscence was observed during surgery in 3 cases, leading to vitreous loss in 1 case that developed a retinal detachment after 3 months.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 215.74931824277keywords = detachment, retinal detachment (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/121. descemet membrane detachment after viscocanalostomy.PURPOSE: To report a case that developed a large descemet membrane detachment after viscocanalostomy. methods: Case report. A 60-year-old man with primary open-angle glaucoma underwent viscocanalostomy RE. One day after surgery, a small, localized detachment of descemet membrane was present at the operation site. Six months after surgery, he had a large superior descemet membrane detachment involving his visual axis. RESULTS: The descemet membrane remained attached after descemetopexy with sodium hyaluronate and air. Final visual acuity was 20/80, and intraocular pressure was 17 mm Hg without medication. CONCLUSION: Detachment of the descemet membrane should be recognized as a potential complication of viscocanalostomy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1460.8073098531keywords = detachment (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/121. New corneal findings in human T-cell lymphotrophic virus type 1 infection.PURPOSE: Human T-cell lymphotrophic virus type 1 is a rna retrovirus that primarily affects CD4 T-cells. Human T-cell lymphotrophic virus type 1 infection is the established cause of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma, an aggressive malignancy of CD4 T-cells, and two nonneoplastic conditions: human T-cell lymphotrophic virus type 1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis and human T-cell lymphotrophic virus type 1 uveitis. Other reported ophthalmic manifestations of human T-cell lymphotrophic virus type 1 infection include lymphomatous and leukemic infiltrates in the eye and ocular adnexa in patients with adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma, retinal pigmentary degeneration, and neuro-ophthalmic disorders in patients with human T-cell lymphotrophic virus type 1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis and keratoconjunctivitis sicca, episcleritis, and sclerouveitis in asymptomatic human T-cell lymphotrophic virus type 1 carriers. This report describes the ocular findings in three Jamaican patients with human T-cell lymphotrophic virus type 1 infection and adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma. methods: The clinical records of three patients with human T-cell lymphotrophic virus type 1 infection and adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma examined at the National eye Institute were reviewed. Each patient had one or more complete ophthalmic evaluations. RESULTS: All three patients had corneal abnormalities, including corneal haze and central opacities with thinning; bilateral immunoprotein keratopathy; and peripheral corneal thinning, scarring, and neovascularization. All three patients had elevated serum immunoglobulin levels. CONCLUSIONS: We believe that the novel corneal findings in these patients are most likely a consequence of the hypergammaglobulinemia induced by the human T-cell lymphotrophic virus type 1 infection or the T-cell malignancy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.6180949119824keywords = retinal pigment, pigment (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/121. Retrocorneal membrane after penetrating keratoplasty.Retrocorneal membranes after penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) is a well known complications, resulting from unintentional retention of the host Descemet's membrane (DM), or donor DM detachment. We describe for the first time the formation of a retrocorneal inflammatory membrane that mimics donor DM detachment or retained recipient DM, and discuss the differential diagnosis of a retrocorneal membrane after PKP. Two patients who underwent PKP and subsequently developed a retrocorneal membrane are described. In both patients' eyes a retrocorneal membrane was observed immediately following penetrating keratoplasty. While the first patient's membrane persisted for 33 months in the presence of a clear graft, the second patient's membrane disintegrated and dissolved within two weeks following treatment with topical steroids. The first case describes a patient with retained Descemet's membrane, while in the second case, it turned out that the retrocorneal membrane was actually an inflammatory membrane.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 417.37351710088keywords = detachment (Clic here for more details about this article) |
