1. Increasingly more patients with PPRD are seen. A retinal detachment can occur after any type of implant or cataract extraction. 2. The pseudophakic patient is better equipped than the aphakic patient to recognize symptoms of a retinal detachment, and most PPRDs are seen soon after they occur. 3. Visual access to the retina is sometimes decreased. The IOL requires more precautions. Hazy media and lens remnants are a major handicap, and the examination is more difficult and time-consuming. 4. Characteristic pseudophakogenic retinal changes or breaks are not obvious. Retinal tears are small and located near the ora serrata retinae. 5. When the breaks are found, the lengthy examination can be followed by a simple scleral buckle with minimal insult to the eye. When the breaks are not found, the treatment is extensive. 6. The anatomical and visual results are comparable to results of other rhegmatogeneous retinal detachments.

The term "pre-equatorial syndrome" covers post-traumatic involvement of the anterior segment and of the pre-equatorial retina, due to a frontal distension mechanism. In a retrospective study, we studied 582 cases of ocular contusions from 1973 to 1986 in patients who required a brief hospitalisation in our clinic because of the severity of the initial injury. The aim of the study was to assess the occurrence of this syndrome, its clinical features and evolution. 59 complete pre-equatorial syndromes were found in this sample (10.2% of all the ocular contusions). The follow up ranged from one to 168 months. Games and sports injuries in children and work injuries in young men were most commonly found causes (2/3 of the cases). Hyphema and angle recession were the most frequently observed lesions (69%). All hyphemas disappeared spontaneously without surgical drainage. Subluxation of the lens was present in 10.6% and late post traumatic cataract occurred in four cases; all eyes were operated on by intracapsular extraction, three of them in the first year following the traumatism and the last twelve years latter. Intraocular pressure was high in 15.3% (but was easily controlled) and was very low in 5.1%. Retinal edema and haemorrhages were the most common involvement of the peripheral retina. Retinal dialysis was noticed in 13.6% especially in the upper nasal area: buckling surgery was performed in these cases with good results. Anterior and peripheral retinal damages was situated on the same meridian in 80% of the cases, five eyes showed a 180 degrees opposite setting while there was no obvious alignment in 15 of the cases. This syndrome did not impair final visual function alone, whereas severe associated ocular contusions of the posterior pole gave a very low visual outcome in 16 cases. This retrospective review emphasizes the main characteristics of this syndrome. Accurate examination of the irido-corneal angle and peripheral retina is of paramount importance in every ocular contusion.

Retinal detachments occurred in six eyes of five patients suffering with atopic dermatitis. Retinal detachments occurred before cataract surgery in all but one eye. In each eye, a retinal dialysis was the cause of retinal detachment. Detachment of ciliary epithelium was present in five eyes and pars plana cysts were found in one eye. Retinal dialysis was one of the commonest features of retinal detachment associated with atopic dermatitis.

In a group of 94 eyes with nondiabetic vitreous hemorrhage that underwent pars plana vitrectomy between March 1974 and September 1982, the causes of the hemorrhages were retinal branch vein obstruction (36 eyes), blunt trauma (11 eyes), cataract extraction (ten eyes), subretinal neovascularization (nine eyes), Eales' disease (eight eyes), Terson's syndrome (four eyes), and idiopathic (five eyes) and miscellaneous (11 eyes) conditions. Vision was improved postoperatively in 88 of the 94 eyes, including all of those that underwent blunt trauma or cataract extraction, those with Eales' disease and Terson's syndrome, and those in the idiopathic and miscellaneous groups. Final visual acuities, which depended primarily on the underlying condition and its effect on the macula, were 20/20 or better in ten eyes, 20/25 to 20/40 in 37 eyes, 20/50 to 20/200 in 26 eyes, 20/300 to 20/400 in 11 eyes, 9/200 to 5/200 in three eyes, and hand movements or light perception in seven eyes. Retinal tears, the most common surgical complication, occurred in 18 eyes. The incidence of anterior retinal tears was reduced from 11% (11 of 38 eyes) to 4% (two of 56 eyes) after we began using a vitrectomy probe with a smaller diameter. Some postoperative lens opacification occurred in 16 of 50 phakic eyes, and the incidence of later lens opacification increased as the follow-up lengthened.

Objective To evaluate the etiologies for dense vitreous hemorrhage in adults with non-traumatic and reveal management of early vitrectomy for the disease. Methods Study included 105 eyes from 105 patients. Outcome measures were etiologies of vitreous hemorrhage, formation of retinal and/or disk neovascular membrane (NVM), incidence of retinal tear and detachment, visual acuity (VA) and postoperative complications. Results Mean time between presentation and surgery was 7.1 days. The most common etiologies were retinal vein occlusion (RVO) (58.1%), retinal tear (22.9%) and retinal vasculitis (10.4%). Most RVO (77.0%) and retinal vasculitis (72.7%) eyes were associated with retinal and/or disk NVM. Retinal tear and retinal detachment was found in 24 and 48 eyes, respectively. VA improved significantly from 1/70 to 0.6 following vitrectomy. The most common postoperative complication was cataract (28.6%). Conclusion RVO, retinal tear and retinal vasculitis were the most common causes of dense vitreous hemorrhage. Early vitrectomy has a good outcome with acceptable complication rates in this setting.
