Abstract: Septoplasty is a commonly used procedure for correcting septal cartilage deformities. Hemorrhage, abscesses, scaling, adhesions, and scar tissue are often seen after the operation of the septoplasty, but temporary or permanent visual loss due to local...
Central Retinal Artery Occlusion (CRAO)
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Central Retinal Artery Occlusion
Hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of acute retinal artery occlusion.
Abstract: Acute retinal artery occlusion (ARAO) is a major cause of sudden, painless visual loss, often leaving no useful vision in the affected eye. Its incidence is cited at 0.85 per 100,000 persons per year but may be higher because of under-reporting. The natural...
Rescue vitrectomy with blocked artery massage and bloodletting for branch retinal artery occlusion.
Abstract: A 61-year-old male suffered from sudden blurred vision and superior visual field defect oculus dexter. His vision was counting fingers at 20 cm. Fundoscopy demonstrated inferior pale retina and a large embolus located at the proximal inferior retinal artery....
The efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of central retinal artery occlusion.
Abstract: Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is an ophthalmological emergency. Various treatment modalities have been tried, but none have shown to alter natural history of the disease. Hyperoxia can restore retinal oxygenation, and favourable results were...
Reversibility of retinal ischemia due to central retinal artery occlusion by hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: Ischemic retinal damage can be reversed by hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) as long as irreversible infarction damage has not developed. However, the time window till irreversible damage develops is still unknown. The study aim was to evaluate the effect of...
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy to Avoid Blindness From Filler Injection.
Abstract: The most serious complication of filler or fat injection is blindness. According to a recent systematic review of 98 patients of blindness provoked by filler or fat injection, only 2 patients had the outcome of a complete recovery of vision.In the...
Early Onset of Ocular Neovascularization After Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in a Patient With Central Retinal Artery Occlusion.
Abstract: Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is an infarction to the retina that results in acute, frequently severe vision loss. Long-term complications such as ocular neovascularization (ONV) can occur and result in neovascular glaucoma and vitreous hemorrhage....
Comparison of hyperbaric oxygen versus iloprost treatment in an experimental rat central retinal artery occlusion model.
Abstract: Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is one of the serious ophthalmological emergencies with poor visual prognosis. Iloprost is a stable prostacyclin analogue and has prominent anti-edema, anti-inflammatory, vasodilatory, and antiagregant effects. The...
Central Retinal Artery Occlusion: A Literature Review and the Rationale for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.
Abstract: Central retinal artery occlusion is visually devastating and has no proven treatments. The therapeutic interval between symptom onset and potentially sight-saving intervention is narrow. Traditional conservative approaches include digital massage,...
