Vitreous hemorrhage as a complication of hellp syndrome

Hypertensive disorders during pregnancy often affect the diagnosed as having HELLP syndrome, a recently described eyes. Sometimes the eye symptoms precede other systemic disorder comprising of hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, changes necessary for a correct diagnosis. In the last and a low platelet count. We believe this rare complication trimester of pregnancy with mild pre-eclampsia a woman of pregnancy to be the cause of the intraocular bleeding, developed spontaneous vitreous hemorrhage. She was later

Spectral domain oct patterns of macular edema associated with branch retinal vein occlusion in Indian Eyes.

Aim : To study the spectral domain optical coherence tomography (sd-oct) characteristics of macular edema in branch retinal vein occlusion. Methods : 39 patients with branch retinal vein occlusion were studied with sd-oct . Characteristics analyzed were - integrity of inner segment outer segment junction, integrity of external limiting membrane, central retinal thickness and presence or absence of serous macular detachment. Results : 30 patients had disrupted photoreceptor Inner Segment-Outer Segment integrity. ( 76.9 %). External Limiting Membrane was disrupted in 64.2 % patients ( n=25 ). Serous macular detachment was present in 20. 5% patients. Average central retinal thickness was 363.84 microns. Conclusions : Spectral domain oct characteristics can help to predict the visual outcome in patients with macular edema due to branch retinal vein occlusion.
