摘要:

We reviewed 1,136 cases of retinal detachment in 1,073 patients. Late recurrence was defined as the reappearance of subretinal fluid after at least 6 months of clear, total reattachment. Fifty-one patients (4.75%) had a late recurrence. New or reopened peripheral breaks were either definitely observed or presumed to be present in 40 eyes (78.5%), and none were definite peripheral holes or retinal dialyses. Three macular holes reopened after having initially been managed by vitrectomy. One additional macular hole occurred as a new break. Late severe proliferative vitreoretinopathy occurred in the last 7 cases. Only vitrectomy for initial detachment and lens extraction after reattachment correlated with late recurrence. Vitrectomy was still a significant risk factor when macular holes were excluded.

摘要:

The authors analysed accidents of ophthalmological interest obtaining information from the database of the INAIL (National Insurance Institute for Professional Casualties) concerning the period of 1986–1991. The INAIL registers all casualties that cause work disabilities exceeding 3 days. The investigation included all job types grouped into two major categories: agriculture (16% of all insured labour) and industry/craftsmanship (84%). Over 78% of the cases examined were in the industry/craftsmanship category. Approximately 22% of the cases were in the agriculture category. Every year in Italy, about 6% of regularly employed workers suffer casualties. The incidence of casualties of ocular interest has been a stable 0.37% in the years examined; 2.88% of these casualties produce permanent consequences (1/10,000 workers per year). The risk is 3 times higher in agriculture.

摘要:

We present an unusual case of a craniopharyngioma with a visual field deficit related to optic tract compression by the anterior cerebral artery. The presentation and management of this case are described. Previous cases of visual field deficits associated with craniopharyngiomas are reviewed.

摘要:

A case of a 12-year-old girl will be presented with Andogsky syndrome (juvenile cataract and atopic dermatitis), in whom complementary symptoms such as birdlike tapered fingertips and independent toes were found as other genodermatoses.

摘要:

In this work we describe a case of papillophlebitis type II according to Hayreh in a young woman affected by psoriatic arthritis. On the basis of an analysis of the patient’s HLA system – B7, DR7 (characteristics of psoriatic arthritis) and B51 (present in 81% of patients affected by Behçet’s syndrome) – we hypothesize that this may be a case of an ‘Overlap syndrome’. In rheumatology, this term usually refers to the presence in a single patient of characteristic features of two or more diseases. In fact, papillophlebitis is a complication which has never been described in psoriatic arthritis, while, in Behçet’s syndrome, retinal vasculitis is well known.

摘要:

Purtscher’s retinopathy is a rare complication after trauma to the chest or bone fractures. We report about a patient, which we examined 6 months after a serious car accident. Visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes. Examination with the Amsler grid revealed a paracentral scotoma in the left eye. In the fluorescein angiography of the left eye performed with a scanning laser ophthalmoscope we found capillary dropout, which corresponded well to the scotoma. Measured by digital image analysis, the area of the foveal avascular zone was eccentrically enlarged by a factor of 4. The mean perifoveal intercapillary area was also enlarged in the corresponding quadrant. This reflects that focal capillary dropout may result in scotoma rather than in a decrease in visual acuity as reported in other diseases.
