With the rapid development of ophthalmic imaging methods, there are many ways of examination in the diagnosis and treatment of fundus diseases, such as FFA, ICGA, FAF, OCT and emerging blood vessels by OCT angiography in recent years. Multi-model image can understand the changes of anatomical structure and function of different levels and parts of the fundus from different aspects. A variety of imaging examinations are combined and complemented each other, which makes us have a further understanding of the location and pathological changes of many fundus diseases. But at the same time, the emergence of multi-modal images also brings a series of problems. How to standardize the use of multi-modal imaging platform to better serve the clinic is a problem that ophthalmologists need to understand.
ObjectiveTo analyze the reasons for the failure of scleral buckling (SB) in the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, and observe the efficacy and safety of re-buckling.MethodsThis was a retrospective non-comparative clinical research. From July 2014 to June 2020, patients with first-time SB failure who visited the Beijing Tongren Hospital were included in this study. There were 42 patients, including 30 males and 12 females, with the average age of 29.40±16.13 years, and they were all monocular. The retinal detachment range＜1, 1-2 and＞2 quadrants were 9, 22 and 11 eyes, respectively. The macula was involved in 38 eyes. The average logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.99±0.57. Forty eyes and 2 eyes were performed 1 and 2 SB, and all the retina were not reattached. All patients were under general anesthesia, according to the conditions during the operation, re-freeze and located the holes under indirect ophthalmoscope. And selected the new external pressure material or retained the old one in combination with the other operations to reattaced the retina. The average follow-up time was 31.93±18.97 months. The reasons for the failure of the first surgery based on the records of this surgery were analyzed. The visual acuity changes, the rate of retinal reattachment and the occurrence of complications were observed. The visual changes were compared by paired t test.ResultsThe top three reasons for the failure were: 16 case of the displacement of the compression spine (38.10%); 9 cases of missing the retinal holes and 9 case of improper selection of compression substances (account for 21.43%, respectively); 6 cases of insufficient height of compression spine (14.29%). All of retina were reattached (100%, 42/42). The average logMAR BCVA was 0.52±0.40. The difference of logMAR BCVA between before and after surgery was statistically significant (t=6.106, P=0.000). There were a slight increase in intraocular pressure in 8 eyes, the average intraocular pressure was 25.00±2.61 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa). No serious complications occurred after surgery.ConclusionsThe position deviation of the compression spine, the missed hole during the operation, the improper selection of external compression material, and the insufficient height of the compression spine are the main reasons for the failure of SB. After adjusting the reasons for the failure, there is still a higher rate of retinal reattachment.
In the research process of uveal melanoma (UM), the Collaborative Ocular Melanoma Study (COMS) is a landmark and outstanding clinical study. Its research conclusions are the foundation for today's UM clinical work and guidelines. COMS is the first and largest randomized clinical trials conducted to date, comparing the survival outcomes of two or more treatment regimens for primary malignant intraocular tumors with high reliability. Its research design, methods, and conclusions are still widely cited in this day. Learning from the research experience of COMS, summarizing research data based on Asian populations, and studying treatment methods suitable for Asian UM patients is a powerful supplement to COMS data, but also an expansion of this global research, further improving the level of UM diagnosis and treatment in China.
The current understanding of lamellar hole-associated epiretinal proliferation (LHEP) is based on OCT examination. This preretinal proliferation is seen at the edge of the lamina macular hole (LMH) as a meso-reflective substance under linear strong reflection, located between the internal limiting membranes and the nerve fiber layer. LHEP is often associated with LMH, but its histological origin, morphology and OCT characteristics are different from LMH, and its visual prognosis is worse. At present, the relationship between the occurrence of LHEP and clinical prognosis is still under study. This article reviews the pathology, morphology, clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of LHEP, in order to enhance clinical understanding of this disease.
Confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope imaging superimpose two or three kinds of lasers to obtain images of different layers of retina, and then synthesize a pseudo-color fundus image by computer. Confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope is widely used in outpatient fundus pre-examination and epidemiological screening of large samples due to its features of non-mydriatic, fast imaging, simple operation and high degree of patient cooperation. It has good clinical and scientific application value in the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of fundus diseases. Because of there is still a lack of unified standards for laser fundus photos in China, it is necessary to correctly identify the common fundus lesions in confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope and to summarize and popularize the method of reading the photos in layers. In addition, we should give full play to the its advantage of layering and locating, and reasonably choose the combination of OCT, OCT angiography, FFA, ICGA, ultrasonography, so as to maximize its clinical application value and help clinical diagnosis.
We have studied retrospectively 13 eyes with postoperative choroidal detachment of retinal detachment surgery in 126 cases(129 eyes).The frequency of choroidal detachment in this series is 10.1%(13/129).And we found that the middle-aged patients were more common sufferers,and drainaging the subretinal fluid,the extent of retinal degeneration and the buckling procedure might be the related factors to the occurence of postoperative choroidal detachment of retinal detachment surgery. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1993,9:210-213）
Scleral buckling surgery is a main surgical method for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, and it is the basic skill of retinal surgeons. As a kind of classic treatment, retinal surgeons must recognize and understand the essence and connotation of scleral buckling surgery, master and apply skillfully, improve the success rate of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, and use the minimum amount of surgical combination to achieve anatomical retinal reattachment and restore visual function as much as possible.
Immunogammopathy maculopathy is a newly discovered retinopathy associated with macroglobulinemia in recent years. The main manifestations were retinal vein convulsion and dilation caused by high blood viscosity, retinal interlaminar effusion and macular serous detachment. With the prolongation of the course of disease, the photoreceptor layer and RPE layer in the detachment area showed atrophic changes. The pathogenesis of ophthalmopathy is still unknown. Understanding the clinical features, diagnosis, differential diagnosis and treatment of ophthalmopathy is of great significance for understanding this kind of disease and improving the level of diagnosis and treatment of ophthalmopathy.
Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), the most common type of retinal detachment, is the separation of neurosensory retina from the underlying retinal pigment epithelium. The key to surgical treatment of RRD is to find and seal all retinal breaks while the major surgical procedures include scleral buckle (SB), pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), and a combination of the two (PPV/SB). Different surgical methods have their own advantages and limitations. SB plays a very important role in certain types of RRD, providing a high rate of anatomical reduction and a good prognosis of visual function. Combined PPV is also an important auxiliary means for the treatment of complicated RRD. The rapid development of vitreoretinal surgery has greatly contributed to the trend of RRD surgery from extraocular to intraocular. However, it is worth noting that personalized RRD surgical methods are needed to be provided for different patients in order to minimize the occurrence of complications.
Ciliary body tumor is a rare intraocular tumor. Due to its unique anatomical location, its correct diagnosis and reasonable treatment are very difficult problems. In terms of diagnosis and differential diagnosis, ophthalmologists need to fully utilize the role of slit lamp microscope and transillumination experiment to capture secondary changes in the anterior segment caused by hidden ciliary body tumors, such as monocular localized cataract, lens indentation, and pigment dissemination, etc. Ophthalmological imaging methods, especially ultrasound biomicroscopy, can achieve the purpose of early detection and early diagnosis. According to the size, location and morphological characteristics of the tumor, a reasonable treatment plan is formulated. Since ciliary body tumors are mostly benign, the recurrence rate of local resection is low, which can satisfy the pathological diagnosis and preserve part of the patient's vision. Therefore, eye-preserving treatment should be advocated. However, enucleation remains the treatment of choice for tumors that are too large to be treated with local excision or radiation, eyes with refractory glaucoma, and tumors that do not respond to radiation therapy.
