amblyopia/hemorrhage

Amblyopia is most effectively treated, in most cases, during the first and second decade of life. Generally, the earlier the treatment, the higher probability of success. The frequency of vision loss in the good eye in patients with monocular amblyopia is between 0.1 and 0.2%. This case report

BACKGROUND A pre-macular accumulation of blood is termed a hemorrhagic macular cyst and may be found both in eyes with Terson's syndrome and in shaken baby syndrome. In this study, we report on our experience and results of vitreoretinal surgery for treatment of pre-macular hemorrhagic cyst in eyes

OBJECTIVE Intra-ventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is one of the most serious complications of preterm infants. Significant numbers of the surviving infants with severe IVH go on to develop post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH). The management of PHH remains a very challenging problem for both

Oculomotor nerve disease is a common cause of diplopia. When strabismus is present, absence of diplopia has to induce the research of either uncovering of visual fields or monocular suppression, amblyopia or blindness. We describe the case of a 41-year-old woman presenting with right oculomotor

OBJECTIVE To report ocular complications of a persistent hyaloid artery. METHODS We studied eight patients with persistent hyaloid artery. RESULTS Seven patients showed strabismus and very low visual acuity (< or = 0.12) of one eye. Despite correction of refractive errors, cataract surgery and

OBJECTIVE To describe the occurrence of unilateral retinal hemorrhages in four cases of documented child abuse, including a case in which retinal hemorrhages were an incidental finding on routine examination. METHODS Case reports. RESULTS Three children, 5 to 17 months of age, with suspected child

Perinatal macular haemorrhage has been suggested as being a cause of amblyopia and strabismus. 39 of 48 children with macular haemorrhage after birth were examined at the age of 5 years. The study comprised visual acuity with E-test types and cycloplegic refraction. Binocular function was evaluated

OBJECTIVE Our purpose was to assess anatomical and functional outcomes of vitrectomy in pediatric cases of Terson syndrome. METHODS A total of 11 eyes of seven children diagnosed with Terson syndrome secondary to traumatic brain injury and 17 eyes of 12 children diagnosed with Terson syndrome

Background. Delayed postoperative suprachoroidal hemorrhage (DSCH) may occur following intraocular surgery for the treatment of glaucoma. It is considered to be a rare and debilitating event if not managed appropriately. Reported herewith is a case of Primary Congenital Glaucoma followed by DSCH

OBJECTIVE To report pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) of a vitreous hemorrhage (VH) as a complication of a persistent hyaloid artery (PHA) in three children. A persistent hyaloid artery is result of incomplete regression of embryonic hyaloid vascular system, and is mostly seen as the fibrotic remnants of

Ten infants with macular hemorrhage in the neonatal period were tested to assess visual acuity, stereopsis, and ocular position. Contrast sensitivity was examined in three of them. The duration of hemorrhages was 1 month in four patients, 1.5 months in one patient, 2 months in two patients, 3 months
