2,496 | 2,577 | Histopathologic study of the Molteno glaucoma implant in three patients.
Three eyes with the Molteno glaucoma implant (one eye with epithelial downgrowth, one eye with iridocorneal endothelial syndrome, and one eye with aphakia and glaucoma) were enucleated two to six years after implantation.
Histopathologic examina... | C11 |
2,497 | 7,707 | Serous retinal detachment following glaucoma filtering surgery.
We report the occurrence of serous retinal detachment in association with choroidal effusion and hypotony in six eyes that had undergone glaucoma filtering surgery.
Hypotony with choroidal effusion was documented in five patients before the onset of sero... | C11 |
2,498 | 2,132 | Cavernous-carotid thrombosis and ocular motor paresis
A 64-year-old man presented with the acute onset of unilateral blindness and ipsilateral ocular motor paresis.
