1/14. Total iris expulsion through a sutureless cataract incision due to vomiting.PURPOSE: To present a case of isolated total iris expulsion through a self-sealing cataract incision 2 weeks postoperatively due to vomiting. methods: Ophthalmological examination included visual acuity assessment, tonometry, slit-lamp examination, fundus ophthalmoscopy and ultrasound examination. RESULTS: A 65-year-old woman experienced sudden visual loss during an episode of vigorous vomiting 2 weeks after uncomplicated phacoemulsification cataract surgery with a sutureless corneal incision. Clinical examination showed a dense anterior chamber haemorrhage. When the blood had cleared, isolated total aniridia was seen. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first reported case of aniridia after cataract surgery due to vomiting.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = haemorrhage (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/14. Traumatic hyphaema in a haemophiliac.A case is presented of a 9-year-old haemophiliac boy who sustained a traumatic hyphaema with secondary haemorrhage. Conservative management was successful in preventing complications, and normal vision was retained.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = haemorrhage (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/14. The medical management of retrobulbar haemorrhage complicating facial fractures: a case report.A case of delayed retrobulbar haemorrhage following an orbital floor fracture is reported. Virtual total loss of vision occurred; however, intense medical therapy produced such a dramatic response that surgical decompression was not necessary. On 6 month follow-up the patients visual function was entirely normal in all respects.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = haemorrhage (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/14. Medical and surgical management of spontaneous hyphaema secondary to immune thrombocytopenia.The medical and surgical management of an unusual case of spontaneous 'black ball' hyphaema complicated by secondary haemorrhage, raised intraocular pressure and corneal blood staining, and secondary to immune thrombocytopenia is presented. The literature is reviewed with particular reference to the aetiology and treatment of spontaneous hyphaema and the role of intravenous immunoglobulins in the preoperative management of patients with thrombocytopenia who present for routine or emergency ocular surgery.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = haemorrhage (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/14. Spontaneous hyphaema and corneal haemorrhage as complications of microbial keratitis.Hyphaema developed spontaneously in 16 of 458 patients with microbial keratitis treated at two centres on the East and West Coasts of the united states. Chronic corneal conditions were often present, and three cases had rubeosis iridis. Inflamed iris vessels were assumed to be the source of the haemorrhage. The hyphaemas tended to persist longer than is usual, particularly when coincident with a hypopyon. Recurrent hyphaemas are reported in two patients from outside this series. Spontaneous corneal haemorrhage was seen in three cases. Subepithelial bleeding settled rapidly, but a combined midstromal and pre-Descemet's haematoma cleared more slowly. Anterior segment bleeding was significantly associated with advanced age, female sex, infection with Gram-positive organisms, and hypopyon.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6keywords = haemorrhage (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/14. Haemolytic glaucoma occurring in phakic eyes.The occurrence of haemolytic glaucoma in phakic eyes due to ghost cells has not previously been reported. Three cases of haemolytic glaucoma occurring over two years after massive vitreous haemorrhage in patients with an intact lens iris diaphragm are described. In one case there was histological confirmation of the presence of ghost cells in the anterior chamber. The mechanism proposed for the passage of ghost cells to the anterior chamber is through a defect in the anterior hyaloid face, created as the vitreous liquefies and degenerates. The reported cases were satisfactorily treated by trabeculectomy with anterior chamber washout, which management has not previously been reported in haemolytic glaucoma.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = haemorrhage (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/14. Transient monocular obscuration--?amaurosis fugax: a case report.A 73-year-old white man with pseudophakia experienced repeated bouts of transient visual loss associated with erythropsia and colour desaturation. A diagnosis of atheromatous carotid vascular disease was considered, prompting carotid angiography, during which time the patient experienced transient aphasia. Subsequent examination during an episode of visual loss showed that a spontaneous anterior chamber haemorrhage was the cause of the visual complaints.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = haemorrhage (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/14. anterior chamber haemorrhage in the newborn after spontaneous delivery. A case report.A case report is presented of anterior chamber haemorrhage occurring in one eye in a newborn after spontaneous delivery. At the age of two weeks the anterior chamber was clear but the vitreous cloudy. At the age of five weeks the vitreous had also cleared. The infant's later development was normal and there were no disorders in the function of the eye.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = haemorrhage (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/14. Transient open-angle glaucoma associated with sickle cell trait: report of 4 cases.Four black patients, all with sickle trait (SA), developed transient open-angle glaucoma with blood in Schlemm's canal. In 3 patients the condition followed blunt trauma, while in the fourth no antecedent trauma was described. The intraocular pressure became normal in all 4 cases with the resolution of the haemorrhage from the trabecular meshwork and Schlemm's canal.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = haemorrhage (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/14. Vascular tufts of the pupillary border causing a spontaneous hyphaema.In 3 patients a spontaneous haemorrhage in the anterior chamber originated from vascular tufts at the pupillary border. These vascular tufts were hardly visible by slitlamp observation, but could be visualized well with fluorescein angiography. The patients were aged 50 years or more and in 2 of them the vascular tufts were found in both eyes. The haemorrhages disappeared spontaneously under conservative therapy and only in 1 case caused a transient glaucoma. Of 115 randomly chosen out-patients, 4 cases were found with the same vascular tufts on the pupillary border, but without any symptom. All the patients who had vascular tufts, with or without haemorrhage in the anterior chamber, were in the sixth decade or older. We think that these vascular lesions are caused by cardiovascular diseases and by elevated venous pressure caused by intrathoracic processes. Diabetes and intraocular diseases were excluded in our patients.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3keywords = haemorrhage (Clic here for more details about this article) |
