PATHOLOGY-RELATED VIDEO ARCHIVES

Anterior Segment

Anterior segment pathology refers to diseases affecting the front part of the eye, including the cornea, iris, ciliary body, and lens. Common conditions include uveitis, cataracts, corneal abrasions, and glaucoma. Anterior segment pathology can also involve structural abnormalities like anterior segment dysgenesis.

Eye Pathology

Eye pathology involves examining tissue samples (surgical, biopsy, or autopsy) under a microscope to diagnose diseases, determine their cause, and guide treatment and research

Neuro-Ophthalmology

Pathology helps neuro-ophthalmology by providing critical tissue-based diagnoses for eye and neurological diseases, particularly those affecting the visual pathways.

Ocular Oncology

Ophthalmic pathology plays a crucial role in ocular oncology by providing the precise diagnosis of ocular tumors, which is essential for determining the most appropriate treatment plan and prognosis. Ophthalmic pathologists examine both gross and microscopic samples of eye and orbital tissues, including surgically removed tumors, to identify the specific type of cancer, its stage, and any other relevant features

Orbit and Oculoplastics

Pathological examination of surgical specimens and post-operative biopsies can aid in monitoring for recurrence or progression of disease, guiding ongoing management and follow-up strategies. Orbital biopsies are particularly helpful when a clinical or radiological diagnosis is not readily established, allowing for definitive identification of the underlying pathology.

Ocular Genetics

Ocular pathology can be used to confirm or rule out specific genetic diagnoses, especially in cases where clinical features are not clear-cut. For example, immunohistochemistry and molecular testing can help identify genetic mutations or gene fusions associated with certain eye cancers or other inherited eye diseases.

Pediatric Ophthalmology

Ophthalmic pathology can pinpoint the cause of various eye conditions in children, including genetic disorders, infections, and tumors. This is crucial for early intervention and preventing lifelong vision impairment.

Retina and Vitreous

Retinal pathology refers to any disease or abnormality of the retina, the light-sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye. These conditions can range from congenital anomalies to degenerative diseases, and can impact vision in various ways. Common examples include retinal tears, retinal detachments, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration.
