A 5-year-old intact female Maltese, a 4-year-old neutered male Chihuahua, and a 5-year-old neutered male Maltese were referred to Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Seoul National University for assessment of traumatic corneal laceration accompanied by anterior lens capsule disruption by cat claw. Severe uveitis, hypopyon, fibrinous exudate, diffuse corneal edema, and/or glaucoma were observed. B-mode ocular ultrasound showed lens capsule rupture and hyperechoic lens in all three cases. Despite aggressive treatments, the three eyes continued to deteriorate with endophthalmitis, leading to enucleation. Septic implantation syndrome associated with phakitis, severe pyogranulomatous endophthalmitis, and keratitis was confirmed by histopathological examination.

These studies were performed to investigate the complications affecting the vision after extracapsular lens extraction(ECE), the effects of an I/A (irrigation & aspiration)device and a viscoelastic material used on the vision, the occurrence of complications and the effective corneal incision method to reduce the corneal opacity in dogs. ECE was performed bilaterally with 3 different methods using clinically normal twele mixed dogs; the method in which I/A device and viscoelastic material were not used, the method in which I/A device was used but viscoelastic material not, and the method in which I/A device and viscoelastic material were used. Postoperative complications were observed as followed; conjunctival injection, uveitis, corneal opacity due to endothelial cell loss, hyphemia, remnants of lens cortex, vitreous loss, synechia and capsular opacity. Preservation rate of vision was lower significantly in the cases showing signs of synechia, capsular opacity, or remnants of lens cortex than the cases not showing the above signs(p<0.01). There were significant reduction of the complications such as corneal opacity, clot in anterior chamber in the group using I/A device compared to the group in which I/A device was not used(p<0.01). Groups using I/A device showed slightly higher vision than the group not using I/A device (75%; 42%). There were no significant differences in the occurrence rate of complications and the preservative rate of vision between the groups with and without viscoelastic material. The present study indicated that the postoperative complications of posterior synechia, capsular opacity, uveitis and vistreous loss were important factors affecting the vision and that I/A device was applicable to extract the lens cortex and effective to elevate the success rate after ECE in dogs.

A 10-year-old, spayed female, Maltese dog presented with a 2-day history of severe left eye squint. Slit-lamp biomicroscopy showed a deep corneal defect stained into a doughnut shape together with hypopyon in the anterior chamber. Based on these results, a diagnosis of descemetocele and uveitis in the left eye was made. Deep keratotomy combined with a nictitating membrane flap effectively resolved the descemetocele without complications. The surgical procedures performed on this patient were easy and effective, and could be used as an alternative to graft surgery for descemetocele treatment.

We report here the records of 10 consecutive Korean patients (10 eyes) with ocular toxoplasmosis which showed the typical clinical manifestations with seropositivity for Toxoplasma gondii specific IgG antibodies by micro-ELISA between 2006 and 2010. Nine patients were males and 1 was female; their age was $50.5{\pm}13.8$ years. The most common accompanying signs were vitritis (100%), anterior uveitis (70%), and scattered white deposit (80%). Pre-existing retinochoroidal scar was found in 1 (10%) patient. All patients received antiparasitic chemotherapy and systemic corticosteroid treatment, which resolved the presenting attack and recovered the visual acuity better than initial one in 9 patients and worse in 1. Optic atrophy, cataract, and retinal neovascularization were observed during the follow-up period and recurrence was detected in 3 eyes (30%) 6 to 20 months after the initial attack. In Korea, although rarely detected and reported, ocular toxoplasmosis needs more attention in clinical field of retinal diseases.

An 18-month-old, female American Cocker Spaniel was presented with a cataract of left eye. The left eye was blind, and anterior uveitis was noted on ocular examination. Ultrasonography of the eye revealed a hyperechoic mass with distinct borders in the vitreous indicative of lens fiber or mass lesion extending from ciliary body. The eye was enucleated after ultrasonographic examination. On gross examination, rupture of posterior capsule was noted adjacent to the ciliary body.

결막 충혈은 결막염, 각막염, 포도막염 등의 안과질환의 초기 증세로서 정량적으로 평가할 수 있다면 진단과 경과 관찰에 도움이 된다. 충혈의 정량화에서 공막의 크기는 중요한 지표이지만 기존의 공막 분할 방법이 정확하지 않기 때문에 수동으로 분할하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 충혈의 정량화를 위하여 level set 방법을 이용한 공막 분할 알고리즘을 제안한다. Level set의 초기 모델은 Lab 색상 모드와 k-means 알고리즘, 기하학적인 정보를 이용하여 지정된다. 헤이시안(hessian) 분석으로 공막과 피부 사이의 골을 향상시킨 영상에 level set을 적용하였다. 제안 방법의 성능 측정을 위하여 52개의 전안부 영상에 대하여 실험하였다. 실험 결과, 제안 방법이 화소값만 이용하는 region growing이나 level set의 초기 모델로 임의의 원을 이용하는 방법보다 성능이 우수하였다. 이 논문에서 제안한 공막 분할 방법은 객관적인 충혈도 측정에서 중요한 요소 기술의 역할을 할 것이다.

This study was performed to describe the outcome of pars plana retinopexy with perfluoro-n-octane (PFO)-silicone oil (SiO) exchange in dogs with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in Seoul National University Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital (SNU VMTH) from 2014 to 2017. Nine eyes of 8 dogs were included in this study. Medical records including signalment, history, duration from onset of blindness to surgical intervention, pre-operative findings, duration from surgery to regaining vision, and post-operative complications were evaluated. No eyes were visual before surgery. Duration from onset of blindness to surgical intervention was 2-30 days (median 8 days); duration from surgery to regain vision was 1-14 days (median 6 days); follow-up time was 15-1088 days (median 69 days). Post-operative complications were divided as temporary vs permanent conditions. Temporary complications were corneal ulcer, uveitis, retinal haemorrhage, glaucoma, subconjunctival leakage of SiO, and vitreal haemorrhage. Permanent complications were anterior chamber migration of SiO, retinal degeneration, corneal degeneration, re-detachment, and cataract. Six of 9 eyes regained functional vision, five of which remained visual throughout the follow-up time while the other one lost vision after 3 months because of uveitic glaucoma. In conclusion, pars plana retinopexy with PFO-SiO exchange provided fair outcome in 66.7% cases described in this study.
