Objective To observe the etiological factors and variation of effects of nontraumatic severe vitreous hemorrhage. Methods A total of 1107 patients (1202 eyes) with nontraumatic severe vitreous hemorrhage who underwent vitrectomy from January 2005 to December 2011 were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into A group (444 eyes of 415 patients were operated between January 2005 and December 2008) and group B (758 eyes of 692 patients between January 2009 and December 2011) according to admission date. The etiological factors and variations were recorded and retrospectively analyzed. Results Of all 444 eyes in group A, 156 eyes were due to retinal vein occlusion (RVO), 117 eyes associated with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), 61 eyes with retinal hole／retinal detachment (RH／RD), 42 eyes with Eales disease, 20 eyes with exudative agerelated macular degeneration (EAMD). These diagnoses accounting for 89.19% of the total eyes, were found to be the common causes in patients with severe vitreous hemorrhage, with RVO as the most common cause. Similarly in group B, severe vitreous hemorrhage was found in 347 eyes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), 135 eyes with retinal hole／retinal detachment (RH／RD), 133 eyes with retinal vein occlusion (RVO), 25 eyes with Eales disease, 22 eyes with exudative age-related macular degeneration (EAMD), accounting for 87.87% of the total eyes. PDR was the most common cause instead of RVO to vitreous hemorrhage in this group. The number of vitreous hemorrhages increased year by year. Conclusions PDR, RH／RD, RVO, Eales disease and EAMD are the common causes of nontraumatic severe vitreous hemorrhage. There is a trend toward an increasing proportion of PDR among the causes of vitreous hemorrhage.
Objective To investigate the incidence, risk factors and relationship with intraocular hemorrhage of Tersonprime;s syndrome among patients with spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SSAH) after emergency admission. Methods Seventy-four consecutive patients with SSAH from June 2010 to September 2011 were prospectively examined. A direct ophthalmoscope examination was performed in all participants within three hours after emergency admission. If circumstances permit, fundus photos were taken. When initial fundus examination was conducted, the Hunt-Hess grade was classified by the brain surgeon. The fundus examination was taken on the 1st, 3rd, and 7th day, 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months after emergency admission. The details were recorded, including sex, age, bleeding patterns, Hunt-Hess grade and death. The incidence of Tersonprime;s syndrome was analyzed and correlated with sex, age and Hunt-Hess grade. The relationship between intraocular hemorrhage and Hunt-Hess grade and mortality was analyzed. Results Among the 74 patients, 19 were suffering from Tersonprime;s syndrome, 31 eyes involved. The incidence of Tersonprime;s syndrome was 25.7%. Statistical analysis demonstrated that the sex of the patient was randomly distributed (chi;2=0.071,P=0.790), and the age components were also randomly distributed (Fisherprime;s exact test.P=0.203). The Hunt-Hess grade components were nonrandomly distributed (Fisherprime;s exact test，P=0.000). Among the patients with preretinal hemorrhage and vitreous hemorrhage, Hunt-Hess grade Ⅴ was in 76.9% patients; among inte-retinal hemorrhage, Hunt-Hess grade was in 16.7% of patients. The distribution was non-random (Fisherprime;s exact test.P=0.041). All intraocular hemorrhages were found at the time of first fundus examination. The mortality from Tersonprime;s syndrome was 68.4% (13/19) according to the follow-up investigation. The mortality in patients with vitreous hemorrhage and preretinal hemorrhage was statistically different (Fisherprime;s exact test.P=0.046) from patients with inter-retinal hemorrhage. Among the six recovered Tersonprime;s syndrome patients, two of them were recovered from vitrectomy, and the other four were recovered from selfabsorption. Conclusions A higher frequency (25.7%) of Tersonprime;s syndrome was observed in patients with SSAH. The incidence is highly related to the general condition of the patient but not to the sex or age. Intraocular hemorrhage is more likely to happen in the early time of SSAH. People with more severe intraocular hemorrhage may have worse general condition or higher mortality.
Objective To investigate the related factors of the retinal hemorrhage in high-risk infants (HRI). Methods Eight hundred and sixty HRI with histories of high-risk pregnancy and/or neonatal asphyxia after 1-5 days of birth were enrolled in this study.In 860 cases of HRI, 498 infants were vaginal delivery and 362 infants were delivered through cesarean sections. Among 498 vaginal delivered infants, 407 infants were eutocia and 91 infants were with forceps delivery; 298 infants were born following normal labor, 102 infants experienced prolonged labor, and 98 infants were urgent birth. The retinal hemorrhages were observed and conditions were graded into three degrees of Ⅰ, Ⅱ, and Ⅲ. Conditions of neonatal asphyxia were evaluated based on criteria of Apgar score. The incidence of retinal hemorrhage in the different types of deliveries and labor processes were compared, and the relationship between degree of retinal hemorrhage and grade of neonatal asphyxia were analyzed. Results In 860 cases of HRI, retinal hemorrhages were found in 202 infants (23.5%). Within these 202 infants, 75 infants (37.1%) were Ⅰ degree retinal hemorrhage, 75 infants (37.1%) were Ⅱ degree retinal hemorrhage, and 52 infants (25.8%) were Ⅲ degree retinal hemorrhage. In these 202 infants of retinal hemorrhage, 172 infants (85.1%) had histories of asphyxia; 119 infants (69.2%) were graded as mild asphyxia-risk, and 53 infants (30.8%) were graded as severe asphyxiarisk. There was a statistical difference of the degree of the retinal hemorrhage between the mild and severe asphyxia-risk infants (chi;2=34.61,P＜0.01). The incidence of retinal hemorrhage after vaginal delivery was higher than cesarean section delivery with significant statistical difference (chi;2=30.73,P＜0.01). The incidence of retinal hemorrhage after forceps delivery was significantly higher than eutocia with statistical difference (chi;2=62.78,P＜0.01). Both prolonged and urgent childbirth had statistically significant higher incidences of retinal hemorrhage compared to normal labor in the process of vaginal delivery (chi;2=45.86, 71.51; P＜0.01). Asphyxia, types of delivery, prolonged and urgent labors were risk factors of retinal hemorrhage for HRI (r=7.46,4.87,15.03,6.47;P＜0.01). Conclusions The incidence of retinal hemorrhage in high-risk infant was 23.5%. And, asphyxia, types of delivery, prolonged and urgent labors may play roles of risk factor in retinal hemorrhage of HRI.
Objective To analyze the reasons, methods of treatment, and effects on prognosis of vitreous hemorrhage after vitrectomy in patients with diabetic retinopathy. Methods The clinical data of 98 patients (122 eyes) with diabetic retinopathy (VI stage) who had undergone vitrectomy were retrospectively analyzed. Results Post-vitrectomy vitreous hemorrhage (gt;grade 2) was found in 25 eyes with the occurrence of 20.5%, in which the hemorrhage occurred 1 week after the surgery in 8 eyes, 1 week to 1 month in 6 eyes, and more than 1 month in 11 eyes. In the 25 eyes, C3F8 tamponade eyes occupied 31.1%, silicone oil tamponade eyes occupied 6.1%, air tamponade eyes occupied 33.3%, and infusion solution tamponade eyes occupied 26.3%. Peripheral fibrovascular proliferation was found in 9 eyes. In the 3 eyes with silicone oil tamponade, the hemorrhage was absorbed in 2, and epiretinal membrane was found in 1 which was moved when the silicon oil was taken out. In the 22 eyes without silicone oil tamponade, the hemorrhage was absorbed in 6 and aggravated in 2 without any timely treatment, neovascular glaucoma occurred in 1, and wide vitreo-retinal proliferation and retinal detachment was observed in 1 with the visual acuity of no light perception. Operations such as fluid-air exchange, vitrectomy were performed on 14 eyes 2 weeks after the hemorrhage absorption stopped. Recurrent vitreous hemorrhage was not found in 12 eyes after single operation. At the end of the follow up period, the visual acuity was no light perception in 3 eyes, hand moving in 2 eyes, counting finger-0.1 in 10 eyes, under 0.3 in 4 eyes, and over 0.3 in 6 eyes. Conclusion Most of the patients with vitreous hemorrhage after vitrectomy due to DR had peripheral fibrovascular proliferation. The visual prognosis after re-operation is good.

Objective To analyze the pathogeny of vitreous re-hemorrhage in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) after vitrectomy, and to evaluate the treatment effects. Methods The clinical data of 315 eyes of 302 patients with PDR who had undergone vitrectomy were retrospectively analyzed. Thirty-two eyes with vitreous re-hemorrhage after the treatment had undergone vitrectomy again. The follow-up duration was 3-48 months (average 12 months). Results The occurrence of vitreous hemorrhage after vitrectomy was 10%. The reasons included fibrovascular ingrowth at the sclera incision (28%), residual neovascularization membrane or inappropriately treated vascular stump on the surface of optic nerve (19%), insufficient photocoagulation on retina (22%), residual epiretinal neovascularization membrane (9%), retinal vein occlusion (6%), and ocular trauma (16%). Re-hemorrhage occurred 1-210 days (average 51 days) after vitrectomy. The patients with re-hemorrhage underwent cryotherapy for fibrovascular at the incision site, removal of residual neovascularization membrane on the optic nerve and retina, electrocoagulation of the vascular stump, complementary retinal photocoagulation and binding up of two eyes. After the re-treatment, the visual acuity increased in 91% and decreased in 9%. The postoperative complications mainly included vitreous re-hemorrhage, posterior synechia of the iris, lens sclerosis, and delayed healing of corneal epithelium. Conclusion The main reasons of vitreous re-hemorrhage after vitrectomy in patients with PDR include fibrovascular ingrowth at sclera incision, residual neovascularization membrane or inappropriately treated vascular stump on the surface of optic nerve, insufficient photocoagulation on retina, residual epiretinal neovascularization membrane, retinal vein occlusion, and ocular trauma. The efficient methods in preventing and treating re-hemorrhage after vitrectomy are appropriate management of insection sites, completely removal of residual neovascularization membrane on the optic nerve and retina, electrocoagulation of the vessel stump and sufficient retinal photocoagulation.

ObjectiveTo investigate the related factors of the retina1 hemorrhage in newborns. Methods9558 newborns included in this observation between March of 2012 and July of 2013 in our hospital. The fundus was examined by the fully-integrated wide-field digital imaging system RetCamⅢat 0-4 days after born. According to the literature, retinal hemorrhage was classified into degreeⅠ, ⅡandⅢ. The condition for baby and the mother during pregnancy were correlatively analyzed. The other factors were analyzed including twins, premature delivery, big baby, mode of delivery, fetal birth, forceps delivery, suction delivery, asphyxia, jaundice, ABO hemolytic, cranial hematoma, intracranial hemorrhage, maternal age, first-time mom, the maternal previous mode of production, emergency delivery, the first stage of labor prolonged, the second stage of labor prolonged, the third stage of labor prolonged, pregnancy-induced hypertension, gestational diabetes, oxytocin, prenatal body mass index (BMI). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used. ResultsIn 9558 cases of newborns, retinal hemorrhages were found in 2753 infants (28.8%), including 1137 degreeⅠ(41.3%), 895 degreeⅡ(32.5%) and 721 degreeⅢ(26.2%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the mode of delivery, asphyxia, jaundice, advanced maternal age, maternal previous birth, prenatal BMI is a risk factor for neonatal values retinal hemorrhage (r=0.146, 5.841, 1.847, 0.071, 0.246, 0.965;P < 0.05). The degree of fundus hemorrhage was not related to birth weight and BMI (P > 0.05). ConclusionsThe neonatal retinal hemorrhage rate was 28.8%. Mode of delivery, asphyxia, neonatal jaundice, maternal age, the previous mode of delivery of mothers with more than one previous birth, prenatal BMI values may be risk factors lead to retinal hemorrhage.
Vitreous hemorrhage in children is caused by trauma or non-traumatic factors. Long-term vitreous hemorrhage not only affects children's vision, but also can lead secondary glaucoma, traumatic retinal detachment and other serious complications. Ocular trauma, some ocular and systemic diseases are the common etiology leading to vitreous hemorrhage in children. A small amount of vitreous hemorrhage can be treated by observation and conservative treatment. However, if the vitreous hemorrhage has no obvious absorption or serious complications appeared, it needs to be treated by surgery. The choice of treatment time and methods need to be further studied.
ObjectiveTo investigate the risk factors of postoperative vitreous hemorrhage after minimal vitrectomy without endotamponade for proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).MethodsFrom June 2015 to June 2017, 103 eyes of 103 patients with PDR diagnosed and underwent minimalvitrectomy in Henan Provincial People's Hospital were enrolled in the study. There were 58 males and 45 females, with the average age of 58.37±10.14 years and diabetes duration of 8.7±7.2 years. Baseline systemic parameters including sex, age, diabetes duration, hypertension, HbA1c, creatinine, whether received anticoagulants, ocular parameters including whether combined with vitreous hemorrhage, whether finished panretinal photocoagulation (PRP), whether received treatment of anti-VEGF, whether combined with iris neovascularization (NVI), lens status preoperatively, whether hypotony postoperatively and intraoperative parameters including whether disc neovascularization (NVD) bleeding, whether fibrovascular membrane (FVM) residual, laser points, whether combined with cataract phacoemulsification were identified by multivariate logistic regression analysis.ResultsTwenty-nine of 103 eyes (28.15%) developed PVH in 1 day to 6 months after surgery, with self absorption of 18 eyes and reoperation of 11 eyes. Univariate analysis showed there were significant differences in age (t=2.124, P=0.036), anti-VEGF(χ2=7.105, P=0.008), NVD bleeding (χ2=10.158, P=0.001) and FVM residual(χ2=8.445, P=0.004) between patients with and without postoperative vitreous hemorrhage. Sex (χ2=0.021, P=0.884), diabetes duration (t=0.87, P=0.386), hypertension (χ2=2.004, P=0.157), HbA1c (t=1.211, P=0.229), creatinine (t=0.851, P=0.397), preoperative oral anticoagulants (χ2=0.985, P=0.321), preoperative vitreous hemorrhage (χ2=0.369, P=0.544), PRP (χ2=1.122, P=0.727), NVI (χ2=2.635, P=0.105), lens status (χ2=0.172, P=0.679), hypotony postoperatively (χ2=1.503, P=0.220), laser points (χ2=1.391, P=0.238) and combined phacoemulsification surgery (χ2=0.458, P=0.499) were not associated with PVH. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed the more PVH appeared in younger (OR=1.065, P=0.009) and NVD bleeding (OR=6.048, P=0.001) patients.ConclusionYounger age and NVD bleeding are the important risk factors for PVH after minimal vitrectomy without endotamponade in PDR.
