Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Retinal Disorders
Abstract: To assess whether early hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) treatment has a beneficial effect on visual results after retinal artery occlusion (RAO). A comparative retrospective study in which medical records of all HBO-treated RAO patients in our department were...
Abstract: To report multiple occlusive retinal arteritis as a complication of rheumatoid arthritis. A 67-year-old woman developed superotemporal branch retinal artery occlusion in both eyes, together with arterial sheathing and large cotton wool patches around the...
Abstract: We report a case of central retinal artery occlusion after anterior-posterior fusion of the lumbar spine. The patient suddenly lost his vision of the right eye in the ICU just after the end of long procedure for anterior-posterior fusion of the lumbar spine....
Abstract: Macular edema (ME) is a primary reason for permanent decreases of visual acuity (VA) in diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusions. The standard treatment (photocoagulation, rheological treatment) provide only a limited success. We have therefore...
Abstract: Retinal artery occlusion (RAO) is an ophthalmological emergency that causes a major decrease of visual parameters in most of the cases. Purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the effect of adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) on visual acuity...
Abstract: As previously reported in the literature, hyperbaric oxygen delivery seems to modify the natural course of retinitis pigmentosa. In order to evaluate these first encouraging data, 48 affected subjects were separately studied in two subgroups (cases and...
Abstract: The Susac syndrome is made up of the clinical triad: encephalopathy, visual and hearing defects. It is caused by microangiopathy of unknown origin affecting the small arteries of the brain, retina and cochlea. It is very uncommon. It mainly affects young...
