mydriasis/edema

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of prophylactic administration of nepafenac 0.1% in maintaining mydriasis and in preventing postoperative macular edema following cataract surgery. METHODS This was a prospective, randomized, single-masked comparative study in 60 patients undergoing

OBJECTIVE To determine the effectiveness of methazolamide for improving visual acuity and macular edema in patients with retinitis pigmentosa. METHODS Seventeen subjects with retinitis pigmentosa and chronic macular edema participated in a prospective, placebo-controlled, double-masked, crossover

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of intracameral mydriatic solution, as compared to preoperative topical mydriatics, in patients undergoing manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS) under peribulbar anesthesia. To assess the sustainability of intracameral

OBJECTIVE To present 4 cases of unilateral mydriasis associated with orthognathic surgery and to review the differential diagnosis and management related to this condition. METHODS Four cases of unilateral mydriasis associated with orthognathic surgery were identified from the authors' institutional

BACKGROUND Lasting bilateral mydriasis and absence of pupillary light reflex following severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) are considered signs of irreversible brainstem damage and have been strongly associated with poor outcome. METHODS A young female patient presented with severe TBI, contusions,

OBJECTIVE To determine the relationship between foveal (retinal) thickness and visual acuity in diabetic macular edema through optical coherence tomography (OCT) mapping software. METHODS Cross-sectional descriptive study. METHODS The Retina Clinic of Al-Shifa Trust Eye Hospital, Rawalpindi, from

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the accuracy of 3 spectral-domain (SD) optical coherence tomography (OCT) devices (Topcon 3D-1000 [Topcon]; Cirrus HD [Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc], and Spectralis OCT [Heidelberg Engineering]) before and after mydriasis for the diagnosis of diabetic macular

BACKGROUND Diabetic macular edema (DME) is the main cause of moderate vision loss in type 2 diabetes. Diagnosis is achieved by dilated fundus examination or by measuring retinal thickness. However, it can be identified in nonmydriatic retinography (NMR) with hard exudates as a surrogate marker or

This article reports the case of a 10-year-old child with an exacerbation of asthma requiring mechanical ventilation. His immediate course was complicated by significantly elevated arterial CO(2) tensions and a unilateral dilated pupil. A computed tomography scan of his brain failed to demonstrate

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in children. Malignant cerebral edema is described to occur more often in children than in adults. Its infratentorial analogous, a malignant cerebellar edema, has not been reported yet. A 10-year-old boy fell from a height

OBJECTIVE Neurological deterioration, typically attributed to cerebral edema, is a rare but life-threatening complication in the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). We report the case of a child with DKA who became comatose but demonstrated acute obstructive hydrocephalus, instead of cerebral

OBJECTIVE To establish a screening and treatment method for fovea-threatening diabetic macular edema (DME) using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). In order to maintain good visual acuity (VA), focal/grid laser treatment for screened fovea-threatening DME was evaluated based on

OBJECTIVE To quantify the macular edema induced by intracameral mydriatics in phacoemulsification surgery. METHODS University hospital eye clinic, Umeå, Sweden. METHODS In a randomized study of 22 patients, 11 patients were given 150 muL of a mixture of phenylephrine 1.5% and lidocaine 1%

A case of severe head injury associated with fulminant pulmonary edema considered as neurogenic which developed within short time after the injury was presented. A five-year-old boy who had no previous history of cardiopulmonary disease was struck on his right frontal region by car accident at 15.30
