Ah Ran Cho_SCIENTIFIC POSTER 2015 A branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) by a septic embolus in bacterial endogenous endophthalmitis has not been previously reported. The authors present the first case of a patient with bilateral simultaneous BRAO by evident septic emboli as a complication of nephrogenic Klebsiella endophthalmitis. A 50 year-old Asian female with a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus transferred to a tertiary care...

Purpose: To report a clinical case of surgical treatment of acute hemi-central retinal artery occlusion. Methods: A 52 years old female with hemi-central retinal artery occlusion due to calcific emboli (CE) on her right eye (RE) was operated on the 7th day after the event. The combined procedure that included phacoemulsification, intraocular lens implantation, pars plana vitrectomy and embolectomy followed fluid/air exchange was performed....

Maha Shahin_RETINA PHOTO 2015 A healthy 40-year-old man with history of amaurosis fugax in the left eye. 2 days later, he developed scotoma. Examination revealed retinal whitening along the course of one of the cilioretinal arteries and scattered retinal hemorrhages. On fluorescein angiogram of the affected eye, the cilioretinal arteries filled normally. There was marked delay in the filling of the central retinal vein. The patient had no...

The author describes optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings in a patient with central retinal artery occlusion by conducting a retrospective review of one case. Central retinal artery occlusion shows a distinct pattern on OCT images. In the acute phase, OCT images demonstrate the increased reflectivity and thickness of the inner retina and a corresponding decrease of reflectivity in the outer layer of the retina and retinal pigment...

Advantage: Various modes of pharmacological intervention like posterior subtenon triamcinolone, intravitreal triamcinolone and bevacizumab, have been seen to be useful in macular edema in BRVO. However, use of triamcinolone has risk of cataract and glaucoma development while bevacizumab is an expensive drug. Intravitreal diclofenac has been found to be effective in decreasing diabetic macular edema but has not been used in macular edema...

 Advantages:  Translumenal YAG laser embolysis (TYE) is an easy to perform and quick method to recannulate a branch of CRA occluded by an embolus visible on the optic disc surface.  The embolus is broken into small parts inside the vessel.  This is a non-invasive...

 Advantages:  This case series illustrates the fundus autofluorescence and HD-OCT features of acute and long-standing retinal artery occlusions. Methods: The colour photographs, autofluorescence and HD-OCT of three subjects with occlusions of...

Giuseppe Donvito, Liuzzi Francesco, Giovanni Colonna (Gioia Del Colle, Italy) Advantages: Demonstrate the possibility of reopening a retinal artery after iatrogenic closure. Methods: Immediate and prolonged massage of the eye, I accompanied by intravenous therapy with Sulodexide and topical timolol maleate 0.5%, may help the reopening of a retinal artery accidentally closed after the coagulation of a macro aneurism whose exudation was...

Hussein Elgendy, MD (Jeddah, Saudi Arabia), Arshad Menkabo, MD (Jeddah, Saudi Arabia) PURPOSE: To show the value of early intervention in cases of central retinal artey occlusion. METHODS: A 65years hypertensive diabetic patient presented with an acute CRAO in the right eye leading to a diminution of vision to counting fingers at 1 meter of seven hours duration. Flouresciene angiography documented the occlusion, ocular massage, sublingual...
