Objective To evaluate the influence factor of the prognosis of traumatic subretinal hemorrhage after vitreoretinal surgery. Methods The clinical data of 50 patients with traumatic subretinal hemorrhage who had undergone vitreoretinal surgery were retrospectively analyzed.All patients had ocular traumatic history and subretinal hemorrhage diagnosed by fundus and B-scan examination;the preoperative visual acuity was less than 0.1. According to different conditions, the traumatic eyes were treated with vitreo-retinal surgery, combined with lensectomy, retinotomy or silicone oil tamponade, respectively. The period of follow-up after surgery was 2-53 months, and the average period was 7.27 months. The corrected visual acuity and retinal reattachment at the last follow-up were observed. The visual acuity ge;0.1 was the standard of good prognosis; retinal reattachment was observed by indirect ophthalmoscope and color fundus photography.The prognostic factors mainly included type of injury,open or closed injury,the disease course, preoperative visual acuity, retinal detachment,hemorrhagic choroidal detachment,vitreous hemorrhage,the sites of submacular hemorrhage,methods of surgery.The relationships between those prognostic factors and visual acuity outcome or retinal reattachment were analyzed by chi;2test and logistic regression analysis. Results About 46.0% patients had good prognosis of the visualacuity. In the eyes with preoperative visual acuity of no light perception to hand moving and finger counting to 0.1, the rate of good visual acuitywas 34.2% and 83.3%, respectively; the difference between the two groups was significant (chi;2=8.860,P=0.003). In the eyes with or without preoperative retinal detachment,the rate of good visual acuity was 37.5% and 80.0%, respectively; the difference between the two groups was significant (chi;2=4.232,P=0.040). In the eyes with subretinal hemorrhage involving the macular fovea or not, the rate of good visual acuity was 34.4% and 66.7%,respectively; the difference between the two groups was significant (chi;2=4.836,P=0.028).All the other prognostic factors had no obvious effect on the retinal reattachment after the surgery. Conclusion Preoperative visual acuity、retinal detachment and submacular retinal hemorrhage were the important influence factors associated with prognostic visual acuity of eyes with traumatic subretinal hemorrhage after vitreoretinal surgery.
Objective To observe the ocular hemodynamic changes and flow direction of ophthalmic artery of patients with severe internal carotid stenosis (ICAS) and investigate the relationship between flow direction of ophthalmic artery and degree of stenosis. Methods Forty eyes of 40 patients with unilateral highgrade ICAS (29 eyes, 72.5%) and internal carotid artery occlusion (11 eyes, 27.5%) diagnosed by color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) were enrolled in this study. There were 14 eyes (35.0%) with obvious ocular signs of ischemia, 26 eyes (65.0%) without obvious signs of ocular ischemia. The peak systolic velocity (PSV) of central retinal artery (CRA) was measured. The flow direction of the ophthalmic artery was observed by digital subtraction angiography (DSA). The PSV of CRA in eyes with different flow directions in the ophthalmic artery was comparatively analyzed. The relationship between flow direction of the ophthalmic artery and degree of stenosis was also analyzed. Results The PSV of CRA in ICAS eyes was (6.59plusmn;1.49) cm/s, which was decreased compared to fellow eye (8.95plusmn;1.35) cm/s, the difference was statistically significant (t=-7.24,P＜0.01). The PSV of CRA in eyes with signs of obvious ocular ischemia was (5.84plusmn;1.42) cm/s, which was decreased compared to eyes without signs of obvious ocular ischemia (7.00plusmn;1.39) cm/s, the difference was statistically significant (t=-2.49,P＜0.05). There were 15 eyes (37.5%) with retrograde flow in the ophthalmic artery, 25 eyes (62.5%) with forward flow of ophthalmic artery. The PSV of CRA in eyes with retrograde flow and forward flow of ophthalmic artery were (6.96plusmn;2.09), (7.01plusmn;1.42) cm/s, the difference was not statistically significant (t=-0.09，P＞0.05). Among 15 eyes with retrograde flow of ophthalmic artery, there were five eyes (33.3%) with unilateral high-grade ICAS, 10 eyes (66.7%) with internal carotid artery occlusion. The incidence rate of retrograde flow in the ophthalmic artery in eyes with internal carotid artery occlusion was higher than that in eyes with unilateral high-grade ICAS (P＜0.01). Conclusions The PSV of CRA in eyes with severe ICAS decreased compared to fellow eyes. The PSV of CRA in eyes with signs of obvious ocular ischemia also decreased compared to eyes without obvious signs of ocular ischemia. With the increase of the degree of the internal carotid artery stenosis, the incidence of retrograde flow of ophthalmic artery increased.
ObjectiveTo assess and classify the features of fundus autofluorescence (FAF) with optical coherence tomography (OCT) in clinically significant diabetic macular edema according to the criteria reported by ETDRS. Methods Eighty-four eyes of 47 diabetic patients with untreated clinically significant macular edema (CSME) diagnosed by OCT/FAF examination were enrolled in this study. The mean BCVA was 0.38±0.26, CRT was (360.23±139.40) μm and volume was (9.59±1.97) mm3. According to the FAF patterns, the CSME patients were divided into normal group (30 eyes), single-spot group (20 eyes), and multiple-spot group (22 eyes). There were 44, 18 and 22 eyes with diffuse edema, cystoid edema and serous retinal detachment, respectively. The correlation of visual acuity with central retinal thickness and total volume of macular was analyzed between different groups. ResultsIn the normal group and the single-spot group, the prevalence of the diffuse type was highest in the OCT (83.3%, 60.0%). In the multiple-spot group, the prevalence of the SRD type was highest in the OCT (50.0%). In the three FAF pattern groups, the BCVA were 0.47±0.26, 0.43±0.30, 0.28±0.19; the CRT were (272.41±48.62), (402.84±134.89), (505.67±135.20) μm; the total volume was (8.67±1.03), (8.94±1.63), (10.79±2.20) mm3. The BCVA were 0.43±0.25, 0.45±0.30, 0.22±0.14; the CRT were (272.41±48.62), (402.84±134.89), (505.67±135.20) μm; the total volume was (8.58±0.95)、(9.22±1.33)、(12.03±2.01) mm3 in eyes with diffuse edema, cystoid edema and serous retinal detachment, respectively(r=-0.31, -0.34; P > 0.05). Correlation analysis showed CRT positively correlated to volume (r=0.85, P < 0.05), BCVA negatively correlated to CRT and volume(r=-0.31, -0.34; P > 0.05). ConclusionThere are more diffuse edema eyes in normal group and single-spot group, while serous retinal detachmen in multiple-spot group. FAF correlates better with visual acuity than OCT patterns.
