mitomycin c/edema

OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of mitomycin-C (MMC) on the cornea after a single intraoperative application. METHODS Department of Ophthalmology, Far Eastern Memorial Hospital, Ban-Chiao, Taipei, Taiwan. METHODS Mechanical epithelium debridement of the central 10.0 mm of the cornea was performed

Hypotony maculopathy, a clinical syndrome consisting of choroidal folds, retinal folds, and optic disc edema, results from severe, chronically decreased intraocular pressure (IOP). Conventional therapy consists of procedures designed to normalize the IOP. We treated a patient who developed hypotony

BACKGROUND Mitomycin C-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) has a poor prognosis with limited therapeutic options. Most patients die within 4 months of diagnosis due to pulmonary or renal failure. Here, a patient resistant to total plasma exchange (TPE) and immunosuppressive therapy with

Mitomycin C associated Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) is a potentially fatal but uncommon condition that is not yet widely recognised. It consists of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia and progressive renal failure associated with mitomycin C treatment and affects about 10% of

OBJECTIVE To study the efficacy and safety of low dose topical Mitomycin C (MMC) in severe Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC). METHODS Placebo controlled double masked randomized clinical trial. METHODS Twenty-eight patients with severe VKC were randomly assigned to receive either topical MMC (0.01%)

OBJECTIVE To determine the soaking duration and concentration effect of mitomycin C (MMC) on the corneal keratocyte following single intraoperative application. METHODS Two hundred ten pigmented rabbit eyes underwent mechanical epithelium debridement of the central 10-mm comea followed by soaking of

BACKGROUND After a successful trabeculectomy, a sudden intraocular pressure decrease may alter the intracranial to intraocular pressure ratio and cause decompression retinopathy. Frequent Valsalva maneuvers may also play a role in its pathogenesis. This condition may manifest as multiple retinal

To report the outcomes of primary trabeculectomy with mitomycin-C (MMC) in eyes with glaucoma secondary to iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome. We included 16 eyes of 15 subjects with ICE syndrome who underwent primary trabeculectomy with MMC between 1991 and 2013. Surgical success was defined

The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of the topical use of mitomycin C (MMC) intraoperatively in single dose and intra-postoperatively in two doses on the narrowing of antrostomy in maxillary rabbit sinus antrostomies created experimentally. And also to determine the local and systemic

BACKGROUND VCA offers a potential treatment for extensive tissue defects. First results of systemic administration of Mitomycin C-treated PBMCs in VCA demonstrated a significant prolongation of allograft survival. The aim of this study is to evaluate if local administration of MMC-PBMCs prolongs

BACKGROUND A pterygium is a fibrovascular overgrowth of degenerative bulbar conjunctival tissue that grows over the limbus onto the cornea. Although various approaches have been proposed for the treatment of pterygium, the common problem after these treatments is recurrence. OBJECTIVE The goals of

OBJECTIVE This study was performed to investigate the histopathologic changes observed in mastoid cavity of guinea pigs after the application of mitomycin C after mastoidectomy. METHODS The study was performed on 50 guinea pigs. Unilateral (right ear) mastoidectomy was performed on all guinea pigs.

The article presents the results of morphological examination of bladder tissue reactions on the submucosal injection of mitomycin-C solution in different (0.1, 0.05, 0.025, and 0.0125%) concentrations. The experiments were conducted using dogs weighing 13-15 kg. Tissue sampling for histological

OBJECTIVE To compare the effect of two exposure durations of mitomycin C in combined angle and filtering surgery for primary congenital glaucoma. METHODS This was a prospective study conducted in the Department of Ophthalmology at Alexandria Main University Hospital, Alexandria, Egypt, on 75 eyes
