Thirty-four severely injured eyes were operated with pars plana vitrectomy. The nine cases with involvement exclusively of the anterior segment alone were operated with success in all cases. However, the injuries of the posterior segment still reflect significant problems in that only 50 percent obt
In this report we describe, herewith, 5 cases of ghost cell glaucoma that followed spontaneous vitreous hemorrhage complicating branch retinal vein occlusion in a phakic eye (one case), and traumatic vitreous hemorrhage (4 cases). Because intraocular pressure was uncontrolled, pars plana vitrectomy
The principles and guidelines in the management of penetrating ocular injury are detailed. In the absence of definitive clinical trial or an experimental model, the rationale for pars plana vitrectomy has been presented. In addition, our recommendations as to the appropriate role and timing of pars
