Decompressive hemicraniectomy with hematoma evacuation is life-saving and improves unfavorable outcomes in a select group of young patients with large right hemispherical ICH.
In patients with myasthenic crisis, both therapeutic options, PE and IVIg, are equally effective in disease stabilization. To achieve good outcomes all efforts should be directed at decreasing the duration of intubation and also aggressively treating the associated medical complications.
This case illustrates that LNG-IUS can be an innovative choice for local hormonal therapy in a patient with OCP-related cerebral venous thrombosis and simultaneous vaginal bleeding.
BACKGROUND Knowledge of the effect of various foreign bodies in and around the eye with their complications is essential to prevent the blindness due to these metallic and non-metallic foreign bodies. MATERIALS AND METHODS We have analysed retrospectively several varieties of foreign bodies and their consequences, complications, at a clinic, situated near a large industrial area [related to iron and other metals]. This study has been done from 1997 to 2016. RESULTS Result of our study showed various types of foreign bodies, how they fell in eye, circumstances where one can get a FB in eye, their complications, cause of blindness due to these foreign bodies in rare situations. It is one of the largest study on external and internal FBs over the period of nearly 18 years, and the no. of FBs are 10,627. CONCLUSION Our study showed that most of the FBs are iron i.e. metallic in nature and the rest are like dust particles, vegetable particles, glass pieces, etc. Very few cases of the FBs were especially intraocular FB with ruptured globe leading to blindness. Awareness regarding prompt removal of FB and control of infection can reduce the incidence of blindness in these cases.
BACKGROUNDAim of this study is to evaluate the visual outcome and disc changes in 21 cases of phacolytic glaucoma in hypermature cataract cases presenting with high intraocular pressure (More than 40 mm), severe pain, redness, corneal clouding and with gross decrease in visual acuity.
MATERIALS AND METHODS21 cases (Male & Female) of phacolytic glaucoma with hypermature cataract attending Government General Hospital's Ophthalmology Outpatient Department have been selected for study. Patients presented with complaints of severe pain, decrease in vision, redness and watering. All these patients were admitted on emergency basis, intraocular pressure was controlled and were immediately taken up for cataract surgery and intraocular lens implantation.
RESULTSDespite of high intraocular pressure, corneal clouding and with decreased vision, all of them have regained good visual acuity (Ranging between CF 5 metres to 6/12), fundus showed 0.5 to 0.8 cupping. Intraocular pressure came to normal levels in all cases.
CONCLUSIONEarliest possible surgical intervention in cases of phacolytic glaucoma with hypermature cataract can result in regaining good vision along with control of intraocular pressure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
