  • the Ophthalmic Pathology cut up part 1 the enucleation and exenteration specimen
    Current Diagnostic Pathology, 2005
    Co-Authors: A L Ford, Hardeep Singh Mudhar, R Farr, M A Parsons
    Abstract:

    Summary This is the first of two articles designed to facilitate the approach to cutting up Ophthalmic Pathology specimens. This article deals with the enucleation and orbital exenteration specimen. Ophthalmologists would have made a detailed examination of the eye in vivo with a slit-lamp microscope and imaging modalities. As such, they will expect high-quality Pathology feedback to complete the clinicopathological loop. Both tumour and non-tumour Pathology cases are discussed. This protocol should not be used for post-mortem enucleations in the setting of suspected non-accidental injury. The text does assume some basic knowledge of clinical ophthalmology terminology.

  • erratum whither Ophthalmic Pathology in the uk why not wither and whemmie
    Eye, 2003
    Co-Authors: M A Parsons
    Abstract:

    Correction to: Eye (2001) 15, 565–567 In this editorial, I stated incorrectly that the ‘full-time specialist Ophthalmic pathologist post’ in Glasgow had been ‘abolished entirely’. On the retirement of the Professor of Ophthalmic Pathology in Glasgow, the post vacated was advertised as a Senior Lecturer position, supported by Greater Glasgow Health Board (GGHB) and the University of Glasgow's Department of Ophthalmology, but there were no applicants.

  • acp best practice no 164 necropsy techniques in Ophthalmic Pathology
    Journal of Clinical Pathology, 2001
    Co-Authors: M A Parsons, R D Start
    Abstract:

    Much important information can be obtained at necropsy by the pathological examination of the eye and its adnexal structures in adults and children. This information may be related to the cause of death (for example, violent shaking trauma in physical child abuse), or may pertain to disease processes affecting the eye, the orbit, and surrounding structures outside the orbit. This article reviews the technical methods used to remove the following: the vitreous (for example, for biochemistry); the eye itself (anterior approach); the eye and orbital contents (posterior approach); the eye, orbit and orbital walls; and the eye, orbital walls, and surrounding structures. The removal of the eye and adnexal ocular structures must be recognised as a "culturally sensitive" issue, which must be approached cautiously. It should only be undertaken for sound scientific reasons, with the fully informed consent of the relatives and/or the coroner (or equivalent authority), and with properly agreed procedures for the eventual retention or disposal of the ocular tissues. For this reason, this article reviews not only the scientific indications and methods for the removal of such tissues, but also the legal and ethical issues that must underpin this Pathology "best practice". Key Words: necropsy • ophthalamic Pathology • enucleation

  • updates in Ophthalmic Pathology
    Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2017
    Co-Authors: Pia R Mendoza, Hans E Grossniklaus
    Abstract:

    Ophthalmic Pathology has a long history and rich heritage in the field of ophthalmology. This review article highlights updates in Ophthalmic Pathology that have developed significantly through the years because of the efforts of committed individuals and the confluence of technology such as molecular biology and digital Pathology. This is an exciting period in the history of ocular Pathology, with cutting-edge techniques paving the way for new developments in diagnostics, therapeutics, and research. Collaborations between ocular oncologists and pathologists allow for improved and comprehensive patient care. Ophthalmic Pathology continues to be a relevant specialty that is important in the understanding and clinical management of ocular disease, education of eye care providers, and overall advancement of the field.

  • Ophthalmic Pathology history accomplishments challenges and goals
    Ophthalmology, 2015
    Co-Authors: Hans E Grossniklaus
    Abstract:

    The historical part of this editorial is based in part on The History of Ophthalmology. During the 16th and 17th centuries, physicians were considered academicians and surgeons were considered craftsmen; barbers were technicians and disease was thought to be due to morbid humors. The printing press was invented, and Bartisch’s Ophthalmodouleia was the first comprehensive ophthalmology textbook. Pathology was determined by gross inspection of tissues; during this time, Morgagni described the gross appearance of cataracts. Ophthalmology was established as a specialty in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries. George Joseph Beer established ophthalmology as a specialty in Vienna; Beer had studied under Joseph Barth and was the founder of the first ophthalmologic school and clinic in Europe. The first important theme in Ophthalmic Pathology is the importance of individuals in advancing the field. One such individual was James Wardrop, who studied under John

  • clinicopathologic findings from lacrimal sac biopsy specimens obtained during dacryocystorhinostomy
    Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2003

    Abstract:

    PurposeTo retrospectively review the pathologic diagnoses and clinical characteristics of patients undergoing dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR).MethodsSpecimens accessioned between 1991 and 2001 in a single Ophthalmic Pathology laboratory were reviewed. All of the specimens included a lacrimal sac biopsy

  • analysis of 24 444 surgical specimens accessioned over 55 years in an Ophthalmic Pathology laboratory
    International Ophthalmology, 1997
    Co-Authors: Christoph W Spraul, Hans E Grossniklaus
    Abstract:

    Purpose: To summarize the pathologic diagnoses of a large number of surgically-obtained specimens over an extended time period in a single Ophthalmic Pathology laboratory. Methods: We analyzed the records of 24,444 surgically obtained specimens accessioned in the L.F. Montgomery Ophthalmic Pathology Laboratory, Emory University, Atlanta, GA between May 1941 and December 1995. Age, sex, topography,clinical procedure, and histologic diagnosis were entered into a database using the modified SNOMED coding system. The diagnosis of the surgically enucleated eyes were analyzed with respect to years of enucleation. Results: The most common topographic area associated with a histologic diagnosis was the cornea (39.3%), followed by lens (16.0%), vitreous (12.0%),uvea (9.8%), eyelids (8.0%), conjunctiva(7.7%), retina (7.7%), and orbit(2.1%). The relative proportion of vitreous specimens has continuously increased and became the most common surgical specimen in 1995. The most common underlying disease of surgically enucleated eyes is trauma (40.9%), followed by ocular neoplasia (24.2%), ‘surgical‘ diseases of the cornea,lens and retina including glaucoma (17.3%), vascular diseases(6.7%), and inflammatory conditions (6.7%). The relative frequency of trauma and ocular inflammation as a cause of enucleation decreased significantly (p < 0.05) over the time of the study period while the relative proportion of ocular neoplastic processes increased (p < 0.0001).Conclusions: The availability of new surgical techniques has caused a change in the relative frequencies of different ocular specimens submitted for histologic examination.

  • frozen section diagnosis and indications in Ophthalmic Pathology
    Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, 2005
    Co-Authors: Patricia Chevezbarrios
    Abstract:

    Abstract Context.—Frozen sections for Ophthalmic tissues require very precise indications. Objective.—To describe indications and procedures for frozen sections in Ophthalmic Pathology based on review of my experience and reports in the literature. Design.—Frozen sections received by the Ophthalmic Pathology service at The Methodist Hospital from 1996 to 2004 were reviewed. A review of the literature also was performed. Results.—Of the 277 specimens received, most were eyelid lesions (138, 49.8%), followed by orbital (106, 38.3%), temporal artery (17, 6.1%), optic nerve (9, 3.2%), and conjunctival (7, 2.5%) lesions. A review of appropriate indications for intraoperative diagnosis is presented and a description of tissue handling and procedures to obtain better results in Ophthalmic pathologic lesion cases is discussed. Conclusions.—The most frequent indications for frozen sections in Ophthalmic abnormalities are for margin control in eyelid and orbital lesions. At my institution, the second most frequent ...
