Treatment to remove these tumors always involve radical surgery. The reported recurrence rate for a subtotal removal is 30% after a mean interval period of 8.1 years. [4] Surgery is the primary treatment for removal of the brain tumor. Use of an endoscope may assist on obtaining a more complete surgical removal from hidden recesses. [5]
"Post-Cataract Surgery and Cyanopsia" (2020): This article, featured in the British Journal of Ophthalmology, investigated the prevalence of cyanopsia following cataract surgery. The study monitored 200 patients post-surgery and found that approximately 12% experienced temporary cyanopsia due to changes in intraocular lens color perception.
Cystectomy is a medical term for surgical removal of all or part of the urinary bladder. It may also be rarely used to refer to the removal of a cyst. [1] The most common condition warranting removal of the urinary bladder is bladder cancer. [2] Two main types of cystectomies can be performed.
Macular degeneration, also known as age-related macular degeneration (AMD or ARMD), is a medical condition which may result in blurred or no vision in the center of the visual field. [1] Early on there are often no symptoms. [1] Over time, however, some people experience a gradual worsening of vision that may affect one or both eyes. [1]
Illusory palinopsia is often worse with high stimulus intensity and contrast ratio in a dark adapted state.Multiple types of illusory palinopsia often co-exist in a patient and occur with other diffuse, persistent illusory symptoms such as halos around objects, dysmetropsia (micropsia, macropsia, pelopsia, or teleopsia), Alice in Wonderland Syndrome, visual snow, and oscillopsia.
Hence surgical removal of cyst is treatment of choice. [7] Several types of procedures are available for the surgical removal of mucoceles. These include laser and minimally invasive techniques, which means recovery times are reduced drastically. [8] Micromarsupialization is an alternative procedure to surgical removal.
Poor surgical technique, or previous infection leading to scarring and tethering of the cyst to the surrounding tissue, may lead to rupture during excision and removal. A completely removed cyst will not recur, though if the patient has a predisposition to cyst formation, further cysts may develop in the same general area.
Some glaucomas (e.g. open angle glaucoma) cause gradual loss of vision and some others (e.g. angle closure glaucoma) cause sudden loss of vision. [6] It is one of the leading cause of blindness worldwide. [2] Diabetes: Poorly controlled blood sugar can lead to temporary swelling of the lens of the eye, resulting in blurred vision. While it ...
