Objective To investigate the incidence, risk factors and relationship with intraocular hemorrhage of Tersonprime;s syndrome among patients with spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SSAH) after emergency admission. Methods Seventy-four consecutive patients with SSAH from June 2010 to September 2011 were prospectively examined. A direct ophthalmoscope examination was performed in all participants within three hours after emergency admission. If circumstances permit, fundus photos were taken. When initial fundus examination was conducted, the Hunt-Hess grade was classified by the brain surgeon. The fundus examination was taken on the 1st, 3rd, and 7th day, 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months after emergency admission. The details were recorded, including sex, age, bleeding patterns, Hunt-Hess grade and death. The incidence of Tersonprime;s syndrome was analyzed and correlated with sex, age and Hunt-Hess grade. The relationship between intraocular hemorrhage and Hunt-Hess grade and mortality was analyzed. Results Among the 74 patients, 19 were suffering from Tersonprime;s syndrome, 31 eyes involved. The incidence of Tersonprime;s syndrome was 25.7%. Statistical analysis demonstrated that the sex of the patient was randomly distributed (chi;2=0.071,P=0.790), and the age components were also randomly distributed (Fisherprime;s exact test.P=0.203). The Hunt-Hess grade components were nonrandomly distributed (Fisherprime;s exact test，P=0.000). Among the patients with preretinal hemorrhage and vitreous hemorrhage, Hunt-Hess grade Ⅴ was in 76.9% patients; among inte-retinal hemorrhage, Hunt-Hess grade was in 16.7% of patients. The distribution was non-random (Fisherprime;s exact test.P=0.041). All intraocular hemorrhages were found at the time of first fundus examination. The mortality from Tersonprime;s syndrome was 68.4% (13/19) according to the follow-up investigation. The mortality in patients with vitreous hemorrhage and preretinal hemorrhage was statistically different (Fisherprime;s exact test.P=0.046) from patients with inter-retinal hemorrhage. Among the six recovered Tersonprime;s syndrome patients, two of them were recovered from vitrectomy, and the other four were recovered from selfabsorption. Conclusions A higher frequency (25.7%) of Tersonprime;s syndrome was observed in patients with SSAH. The incidence is highly related to the general condition of the patient but not to the sex or age. Intraocular hemorrhage is more likely to happen in the early time of SSAH. People with more severe intraocular hemorrhage may have worse general condition or higher mortality.
Objective To observe the characteristics of morphological development of premature retina at 33-46 weeks of gestational corrected age (GCA). Methods A total of 268 premature infants were divided into 7 groups according to the GCA (33-34，35-36，37-38，39-40，41-42，43-44 and 45-46 weeks). The ocular fundus of those infants were recorded and analyzed by an indirect ophthalmoscopelinked imaging system. Results As GCA increases, noticeable macular morphological changes occurred and recorded in 96% of infant at 45-46 weeks of GCA. Retinas were gradually vascularized at 41-42 weeks (nasal retina) or 43-44 weeks (area Ⅲ,temporal retina), and pigmented in 84% of infant at 45-46 weeks of GCA. Conclusion Macular morphological patterns, retinal blood vessels and pigments continue to develop in postnatal premature infants.
Objective To observe the characteristics of images of ocular fundus obtained by computer-assisted imaging system of binocular indirect ophthalmosco p y (CABIO) in the healthy premature infants and the ones with retinopathy of prem aturity(ROP), and evaluate the value of the clinical practice of CABIO in ROP s creening. Methods From January, 2006 to December, 2006, we exa mined 150 prematur e infants in ROP screening procedure by using the computerassisted imaging sys t em of binocular indirect ophthalmoscope, beginning at the infantsprime;age of postn a tal 4-6 weeks or the corrected age above 32 weeks. The follow-up duration was co nfirmed according to the first examination results. The procedure of the operati on was recorded and the typical pictures were shot to obtain the images of the o cular fundus of the healthy premature infants and the ones with ROP. The charact eristics of the images were retrospectively analyzed and compared. Resu lts The typical images of normal ocular fundus and that with ROP in the 150 premature i nfants were successfully obtained by indirect ophthalmoscope. In normal fundus o f infants, the color of optic disc was pale, peripheral retina was not completel y vascularized and presented gray-tone in color;while all stages of ROP present ed dif ferent appearances under the indirect ophthalmoscope. Conclusions Computer-ass isted imaging system of the binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy can clearly observ e the characteristics of normal ocular fundus of premature infants and the ocula r fundus with ROP, and can save the objective examination results, which may pro vide significant references in screening and treating ROP.
Objective To investigate the feasibility and clinical significance of monitoring diabetic macular edema by Heidelberg retina tomograph Ⅱ (HRT). Methods The diabetic macular edema (DME) was diagnosed by slit-lamp microscopy combined with three-mirror contact lens examination and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA). The exponential of macular edema (e value) of healthy people and patients with DME or without DME (NDME) (the total number is 77 individuals and 120 eyes) were detected by HRT Ⅱ. All of the 77 people were divided into three groups. In DME group, there were 23 patients (40 eyes), including 13 males (23 eyes) and 10 females (17 eyes), at the age of 44-68 (average of 55.17plusmn;8.26). In NDME group, there were 32 patients (40 eyes), including 18 males (22 eyes) and 14 females (18 eyes), at the age of 44-68 (average of 55.17plusmn;6.5). In normal control group, there were 22 patients (40 eyes), including 10 males (19 eyes) and 12 females (21 eyes), at the age of 42-65 (average of 53.32plusmn;6.04). According to the results of FFA, the 40 eyes in DME group were divided into: grade 1 of FFA in 9 eyes, with macular suspicious leakage or the area of leakage of lt;25%; grade 2 of FFA in 10 eyes, with the area of leakage between 25% and 66%; grade 3 of FFA in 21 eyes, with the area of leakage of gt;66%. The differences of sex and age among the 3 groups were not significant (Pgt;0.05). The relationship among e value, leakage area, and visual acuity was observed. Results There was a significant difference of e value (the macular diameter was 1, 2, and 3 mm) among the 3 groups(Plt;0.05). The e value in normal control group didnrsquo;t differ much from which in NDME group (Pgt;0.05), but was statistically different from which in DME group (Plt;0.05). Significant difference of e value was also found between NDME group and DME group (Plt;0.05). There was a correlation between visual acuity and e value in DME group (Plt;0.05). In DME group, the difference of e value among FFA grade 1, 2, and 3 groups was found according to the variance analysis; the macular leakage area in FFA grade 3 group differed much from which in grade 1 (Plt;0.05) and grade 2 group (Plt;0.05), while no significant difference was found between grade 1 and grade 2 group. The result was not correlated with the macular diameter. Conclusion E value in the macular module of HRT Ⅱ can detect and evaluate the degree of DME. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,2007,23:252-255)
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of panoramic 200 scanning laser ophthalmoscope for retinal detachment. Method Images of ocular fundus of the patients with retinal detachment were obtained by panoramic 200 scanning laser ophthalmoscopy, which were compared with the results of binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy (BIO). The extent of the retinal detachment, the occurrence of retinal hole or not, and the proliferation were observed. Any discrepancies of the results of the two methods were then analyzed. Results In the images from 75 eyes of 71 patients with retinal detachments which were obtained by panoramic 200 scanning laser ophthalmoscopy, recurrent retinal detachments was found in 3 patients (3 eyes), single retinal detachment was in 13 patients (16 eyes) inc luding intercurrent retinal cyst in 1 patient (1 eye), intercurrent retinal hole was in 43 patients (43 eyes), and intercurrent pre-or sub-retinal proliferation was in 14 patients (15 eyes) (4 eyes having retinal hole simultaneously). The results of panoramic 200 scanning laser ophthalmoscopy and BIO were accordant in 53 patients (56 eyes) and inconsistent in 18 patients (19 eyes) due to the loss of peripheral small retinal holes by panoramic 200 scanning laser ophthalm oscopy. The results of the follow-up examination of 16 patients were accordant with the clinical records. Conclusion Panoramic 200 scanning laser ophthalmoscope has the advantages of non-mydriasis, speediness, and wide view field, and can save external records and provide high-resolution images; it is a valuable diagnosis method for retinal detachment.

Objective To observe the effect of scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) measuring macular light sensibility on evaluating the visual function in idiopathic epiretinal membrane (IERM), and analyze the relationship among the macular light sensibility, central visual acuity, and the thickness of fovea. Methods Procedure of microperimetry of SLO was performed on 44 patients (55 eyes) with IERM diagnosed by indirect and direct ophthalmoscope and optical coherence tomography (OCT). The light sensibility at 10deg;macular central area was measured. The results were compared with 31 healthy control eyes which underwent the same examinations simutaneously. The correlation among the macular light sensibility, the thickness of fovea measured by OCT, and the results of logarithm visual acuity was anaylzed. Results Compared with the control eyes, macular light sensibility decreased in IERM eyes significantly (F=47.265, Plt;0.01), which had the positive correlation with the decrease of visual acuity (r=0.687, P=0.000) and negative correlation with the retinal thickness of macular fovea (r=-0.532,P=0.003). The mean macular light sensitivity in patients with metamorphopsia decreased obviously compared with which in patients without (t=7.039, P=0.000). The mean macular light sensitivity in patients with prolifertive IERM decreased compared with which in patients with dropsical IERM without statistical difference (t=-1.706, P=0.094). Conclusion Microperimetry of SLO may sensitively reflect the macular visual function of eyes with IERM and quantificationally evaluate the changes of macular light sensibility. The changes of macular light sensitivity correlates with the central visual acuity and retinal thickness of macular fovea. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2006, 22: 100-102)
