Lincoff‘s rule, pediatric, retinal break, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment
This was a retrospective study where 98 paediatric patients with RRD were identified through surgery records. Forty case sheets with complete record of ocular examination and surgical findings were analysed. Visible or suspected preoperative retinal break identified using the LR...

Coronavirus disease 19, Primary retinal detachment, Vitrectomy
This study aimed to describe the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the presentation characteristics, timings, and surgical decisions for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). The cohort included all patients who presented to a Portuguese centre over a two-year period,...

Cystoid macular edema, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, vitreoretinal surgery
There are limited studies examining the incidence and risk factors for postoperative cystoid macular oedema (CMO) following rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair. Postoperative CMO is thought to be due to pro-inflammatory state, where numerous cytokines lead to tight junction dysfunction,...
Effects of ‘inverted U method’ Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy on anterior segment and IOL tilt

EYE - Cataract, EYE - Refractive
|
capsulotomy, inverted U method, phaco-vitrectomy, posterior capsular opacification, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment
The study aimed to investigate the effects of the ‘inverted U method’ Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy on anterior segment parameters, decentration and tilt of intraocular lens (IOLs) and visual acuity in 76 patients with posterior capsular opacification (PCO) after previous...

Congenital aniridia, retinal detachment
The authors present the clinical and molecular genetic evaluations performed on a large Iranian pedigree with 26 aniridia affected patients in four generations and some with retinal detachment. Members of the family affected with aniridia were invited to participate after...
Vitrectomy in retinal detachment associated with choroidal detachment

Large case series, choroidal detachment, prognostic factors, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, vitrectomy
Hypotony, posterior retinal breaks, longer axial lengths and total retinal detachments (RD) are risk factors for development of RD associated with choroidal detachment (RRDCD). This study retrospectively analysed the anatomic outcomes and prognostic factors of vitrectomy in 175 patients with...
Correlation between anti-retinal antibodies and proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR)

Proliferative vitreoretinopathy, aqueous humor, autoantibodies, retinal detachment, vitreous
The pathological basis of PVR is not clearly understood and there are no effective medications targeting this condition. This cross-sectional study looked at the possible association of anti-retinal antibodies with patients with PVR and retinal detachment (RD). Aqueous and vitreous...
The effect of everolimus on retinal pigment epithelium and proliferative vitreo-retinopathy

Everolimus, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), proliferative vitreoretinopathy, retinal detachment, ribosomal protein S6 (RPS6)
The principal cells involved in proliferative vitreo-retinopathy (PVR) are retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPE). Everolimus is a drug used in renal cell carcinoma which targets and inhibits a key regulatory protein in cancer (mTOR). In this study, the authors investigated...
Hereditary profile of retinal detachment

gene, genetics, idiopathic, non-syndromic, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, syndromic
This review sought to clarify some of the heritable elements of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). The familial element of RRD is well established, with the sibling recurrence risk ratio being 2.1 (Mitry and colleagues), and the parent-offspring recurrence risk ratio...

Marfan syndrome, aphakia, axial length, cataract, ectopia lentis, flattened cornea, myopia, pseudophakia, retinal detachment
Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a genetic disorder with clinical manifestations associated with cardiovascular, ocular and skeletal organ systems. Typical signs are descending aortic root aneurysms, ectopia lentis, tall stature and scoliosis. This observational study looked at the ocular characteristics, visual...
