[The importance of silicone oil removal in prophylaxis of the late complications of internal tamponade].

PURPOSE: To present the functional and anatomical results after silicone oil removal. MATERIAL: Covers 32 patients (34 eyes), age 29-77 years. Silicone oil removal was performed between February 1993 and December 1994. The indication for silicone oil tamponade was: PDVR (17/34), rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (12/34), trauma (4/34) and vitreous haemorrhage (1/34). METHODS: The conditions of silicone oil removal were complete retinal attachment within at least 3 months, visual acuity not worse than 1/50, no proliferations, laser photocoagulation of peripheral retina. RESULTS: In postoperative period retina was attached in 30 cases (88%). Retinal detachment was observed in 4 cases (12%). Visual acuity remains unchanged in 27 cases. CONCLUSIONS: We found that silicone oil removal leads in the majority of eyes to a stabilisation of visual acuity and reduces the progress of silicone oil-related complications.

[Long-term results of vitrectomy in children and adolescents].

PURPOSE: Assessment of vitrectomy in the treatment of children and adolescents. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We evaluated the treatment of 44 children between the ages of 8 and 17 who underwent vitrectomy from January 1991 to January 1996. In 35 eyes indication for vitrectomy was complicated intraocular trauma, in 6 eyes Toxocara canis infection, in 2 eyes idiopathic vitreous hemorrhage and in eye complication due to diabetes. The mean follow-up period of study was 15 months. RESULTS: The anatomic success category included eyes with attached retinas and a final visual acuity above 1/50 which was achieved in 85% of operated eyes. Within this group 50% of the eyes had a final visual acuity of 5/50 or better. Anatomic and functional success were stable for a period of 12 months after vitrectomy. CONCLUSIONS: 1. Vitrectomy is the primary method of treatment for complicated intraocular trauma in children. 2. Through vitrectomy we achieved functional success which facilitated visual rehabilitation after ocular trauma. 3. Vitrectomy in children and adolescents have fewer complications when compared to vitrectomy in adults.

[Vitrectomy in Terson's Syndrome].

AIM OF THE STUDY: The authors present results of vitrectomy in the treatment of a 50 year old woman with Terson's Syndrome. MATERIAL: Pars plana vitrectomy was performed in two eyes of a 50 year old woman with vitreous hemorrhage caused by the rupture of cerebral arteries aneurysms. The vitreous hemorrhage occurred two days after the neurosurgery procedure. Visual acuity in both eyes was hand movement and did not change after pharmacotherapy and cryotherapy. Pars plana vitrectomy was performed in the right eye 3, 5 months after the hemorrhage and in the left eye 5 months after the hemorrhage. Visual acuity 5/12 in the right eye and 5/7 in the left eye was achieved after the vitrectomy and 5/50 (the decrease caused by cataract) and 5/7 after 11 and 7 months of follow-up. CONCLUSION: Pars plana vitrectomy is a method of choice in the cases of binocular Terson's Syndrome and accelerates returning of useful visual acuity.
