2,391 | 5,575 | HLA associations and ancestry in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease and sympathetic ophthalmia.
A strong association with HLA antigens DR4, DRw53, and Bw54 has previously been reported among Japanese patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease (VKH) and sympathetic ophthalmia (SO).
In the United States, no firm association ... | C11 |
2,392 | 3,269 | Chickenpox chorioretinitis.
Chickenpox infection in an adult was complicated by peripheral chorioretinitis and treated with oral acyclovir.
Similarities of this case to the recently proposed mild type of acute retinal necrosis syndrome are discussed. | C11 |
2,393 | 8,994 | Role of communities in decision-making eye care programs.
The concept of primary health care involves educating people to live their lives in ways beneficial to their health.
Communities as a whole must participate in the decision-making that is involved in such education, be it promotive, preventive, curative, or re... | C11 |
2,394 | 8,782 | Possible significance of cilioretinal arteries in low-tension glaucoma.
Cilioretinal arteries arise from the short posterior ciliary artery circulation or directly from the choroidal circulation.
The presence of a cilioretinal artery may in compromised discs steal flow from the peripapillary circulation and account f... | C11 |
2,395 | 3,270 | Choroidal osteoma (osseous choristoma): an atypical case.
A case of choroidal osteoma presenting in a 22-year-old girl is reported.
The tumour, unilateral and in a juxtapapillary site, appeared markedly elevated on the retinal plane, not flat or slightly elevated as in previous reports.
Visual acuity was not affecte... | C11 |
2,396 | 8,593 | Ocular movements in essential blepharospasm.
In essential blepharospasm histopathologic and electrophysiologic evidence supports the existence of lesions in proximity to brainstem nuclei controlling ocular movements.
We studied horizontal ocular movements in eight patients who had been treated previously with surgery... | C11 |
2,397 | 7,709 | Surgical techniques and reattachment rates in retinal detachment due to macular hole.
We evaluated reattachment rates of the transvitreal and transscleral techniques for treating 250 eyes with retinal detachment due to macular hole.
The initial success rate of the transvitreal approach was 56% (53/94).
There was no ... | C11 |
2,398 | 8,784 | Angle-closure glaucoma as initial presentation of myelodysplastic syndrome.
A 57-year-old man presented with proptosis of the right eye and findings consistent with bilateral angle-closure glaucoma.
Subsequent evaluation revealed severe bilateral uveal effusions and associated nonrhegmatogenous retinal detachments, w... | C11 |
2,399 | 7,706 | Early intraocular pressure rise after trabeculectomy.
Intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured 4 to 6 hours after surgery and on the first postoperative day in 35 eyes of 35 consecutive patients undergoing initial trabeculectomy.
In 27 eyes, the anterior chamber was re-formed at the completion of surgery with balanced... | C11 |
