Bilateral Nonrhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment Following Neodymium-YAG Laser Iridotomies

Exudative retinal detachment in nanophthalmos

“…Consequently, non-invasive therapy, like laser iridotomy or gonioplasty, is considered to be the treatment of choice in nanophthalmic angle closure (Singh et al 1982). However, massive uveal effusion and retinal detachment have also been reported following laser iridotomies (Karjalainen et al 1986). Our patient illustrates a typical case history of nanophthalmos and is representative for the above-mentioned therapeutical problems.…”

Topical brimonidine induced acute uveal effusion in a patient with nanophthalmos: a case report

“…The thickened sclera compresses the vortex vein, impedes blood reflux, and leads to congestion of the choroidal veins. The abnormality in scleral collagen, like interfibrous glucosamine-like deposition [ 3 ], decreases scleral macromolecular permeability, affects the trans-scleral intraocular fluid outflow, and will accelerate the fluid accumulation in the supra-choroidal cavity [ 4 ]. The middle-aged male in our case has high hyperopia, small cornea, short AL, and increased retinochoroidal scleral (RCS) complex thickness.…”

Central Serous Chorioretinopathy After Sequential Argon-Neodymium: YAG Laser Iridotomies

“…Sequential argon-neodymium:YAG laser iridotomy is a safe procedure 1,2. Posterior segment complications that rarely occur were believed to be due to the excessive uveal tract inflammation 2.…”
