1/2. Ocular decompression retinopathy after resolution of acute primary angle closure glaucoma.A patient presented with acute primary angle closure glaucoma with markedly elevated intraocular pressure. Two weeks after laser peripheral iridotomy and resolution of the acute attack, the patient was noted to have developed scattered retinal haemorrhages. The haemorrhages resolved over time with no visual sequelae. This is the first reported case of ocular decompression retinopathy after resolution of acute primary angle closure glaucoma.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = haemorrhage (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/2. Angle-closure glaucoma in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus.A patient is described known with ITP, who developed an attack of angle-closure glaucoma secondary to posterior scleritis. This condition reacted well to corticosteroid treatment and antiglaucomaleus therapy serologically SLE was highly probable. In fundo there was the picture of a central retinal vein occlusion. Later the patient developed neovascularisation of the optic disc, which did not diminish after panretinal photocoagulation. In spite of cryocoagulation, a vitreous haemorrhage resulted.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = haemorrhage (Clic here for more details about this article) |
