2/35. Nd:YAG laser treatment for premacular subhyaloid haemorrhage.PURPOSE: Premacular subhyaloid haemorrhage produces sudden, profound visual loss which may be prolonged if untreated. Nd:YAG laser treatment can create a posterior hyaloidotomy enabling rapid diffusion of subhyaloid haemorrhage into the vitreous gel. This study was performed to assess the results of Nd:YAG laser hyaloidotomy and to compare the outcome with similar conservatively managed cases. methods: Nd:YAG laser hyaloidotomy was performed in 6 patients with premacular subhyaloid haemorrhage. The aetiologies were Valsalva retinopathy, macroaneurysm, branch retinal vein occlusion, proliferative diabetic retinopathy (2 cases) and idiopathic. Four patients with premacular subhyaloid haemorrhage were managed conservatively. The aetiologies were Valsalva retinopathy (2 cases), macroaneurysm and proliferative diabetic retinopathy. RESULTS: Nd:YAG laser hyaloidotomy achieved rapid resolution of subhyaloid haemorrhage in all treated patients. visual acuity improved to 6/9 or better in 4 patients, but was limited by ischaemic diabetic retinopathy in 2 patients. No patient had evidence of damage to the retina or choroid from treatment. Among the conservatively managed cases, 3 patients had slow resolution of the subhyaloid haemorrhage over 3-6 months. One patient with diabetic retinopathy demonstrated little improvement at 18 months. CONCLUSION: Nd:YAG laser hyaloidotomy is a safe and effective procedure. It achieves rapid resolution of premacular subhyaloid haemorrhage with restoration of visual function, preventing the need for vitreoretinal surgery.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.2keywords = haemorrhage (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/35. Post-traumatic scedosporium inflatum endophthalmitis.This is the first documented case of post-traumatic scedosporium inflatum endophthalmitis and only the second of S. inflatum endophthalmitis occurring in a non-immunocompromised individual, to the authors' knowledge. A case is reported of a 57-year-old woman who, while chopping wood, had a wood chip hit her in the right eye. This caused a penetrating corneal injury with uveal prolapse and damage to the crystalline lens. There were also vitreous and suprachoroidal haemorrhages. No detectable intraocular foreign material was retained. The clinical manifestation of infection was delayed, but once established, it was very destructive. The initially indolent endophthalmitis eventually led to loss of all light perception and panophthalmitis which required enucleation. The responsible strain of S. inflatum was found to be resistant to all antifungal medication in vitro.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = haemorrhage (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/35. A ruptured retinal arterial macroaneurysm presenting as subhyaloid haemorrhage.We report a case of ruptured retinal arterial macroaneurysm with overlying subhyaloid haemorrhage. Both subhyaloid haemorrhage and subsequently the macroaneurysm was treated with argon laser photocoagulation.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.2keywords = haemorrhage (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/35. Terson's syndrome presenting as an ophthalmic emergency.PURPOSE: To report an unusual case of Terson's syndrome caused by a ruptured intracranial aneurysm presenting as an ophthalmic emergency with visual loss, without any neurological features at the time of presentation. methods: Case report. A 38-year-old man was referred to the eye emergency department with sudden loss of vision in both eyes. Vitreous haemorrhage was noted in both eyes. There was no history of loss of consciousness or headaches and no signs of meningeal irritation at presentation. The patient subsequently developed progressive neck stiffness and headache. RESULTS: Neuro-imaging studies revealed a subarachnoid haemorrhage resulting from a ruptured carotid-ophthalmic artery aneurysm. CONCLUSIONS: It is important to consider Terson's syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition, in any patient presenting with bilateral vitreous haemorrhage. Some patients may not show any headache, neurological deficits or signs of meningeal irritation at presentation but may develop them later on.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.6keywords = haemorrhage (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/35. Shaking infant trauma induced by misuse of a baby chair.A 2 month old infant presented with bilateral subdural haemorrhages and bilateral subhyaloid haemorrhage. The parent admitted to forceful bouncing of the child in a baby rocker. Experiments showed that violent rocking in the chair could produce extreme alternating acceleration/deceleration forces in excess of those induced by shaking alone. Such handling could not be interpreted as accidental mismanagement and the abusive nature of the process was graphically shown in video recordings of the experiment. Prosecution resulted in a conviction for cruelty, and a suspended sentence.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.4keywords = haemorrhage (Clic here for more details about this article) |

From minimal background diabetic retinopathy to profuse sight threatening vitreoretinal haemorrhage: management issues in a case of pregestational diabetes and pregnancy.Deterioration of retinopathy is a recognized complication of pregnancy in Type 1 diabetes.

8/35. Unilateral frosted branch angiitis with vitreous haemorrhage.Idiopathic retinal frosted branch angiitis is a rare bilateral condition and presents with an acute reduction of vision. Unilateral affection is rare. We report an unusual case of unilateral frosted branch angiitis where the patient developed total vitreous haemorrhage.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = haemorrhage (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/35. Vanishing retinal arterial aneurysms: a case report.An 18-year-old woman with retinal vasculitis developed multiple retinal arterial aneurysms over a period of 3 years. Subsequently she developed macular oedema, peripheral neovascularisation, and vitreous haemorrhage and was treated with systemic steroids, laser photocoagulation, and vitreoretinal surgery. No systemic cause for vasculitis was found. Serial fluorescein angiography demonstrated gradual resolution of the arterial aneurysms over the subsequent 7 years.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = haemorrhage (Clic here for more details about this article) |

Terson's syndrome as the sole presentation of aneurysmal rupture.The authors report a rare case of aneurysmal haemorrhage that presented with Terson's syndrome without any classical features of subarachnoid haemorrhage.
