English

Subject field(s)
  • Eye Surgery
DEF

A technique used to help pull the peripheral iris away from the trabecular meshwork in the angle of the eye.

CONT

Iridoplasty, also known as gonioplasty, uses low-energy laser burns to the peripheral iris in order to widen the anterior chamber angle and/or break peripheral anterior synechiae.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chirurgie de l'œil
DEF

[...] intervention utilisant l'effet thermique du laser argon pour amincir de la racine de l'iris.

Record 2 2015-01-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Eye Surgery
DEF

A surgical procedure used in the treatment of glaucoma to relieve intraocular pressure by removing part of the eye's trabecular meshwork and adjacent structures.

OBS

In this procedure, the surgeon creates a passage in the sclera (the white part of the eye) for draining excess eye fluid. A flap is created that allows fluid to escape, but which does not deflate the eyeball. A small bubble of fluid called a "bleb" often forms over the opening on the surface of the eye, which is a sign that fluid is draining out into the space between the sclera and conjunctiva.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chirurgie de l'œil

Record 3 2013-12-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • The Eye
  • Morphology and General Physiology
DEF

The area of tissue in the eye located around the base of the cornea, near the ciliary body ... responsible for draining the aqueous humor from the eye via the anterior chamber (the chamber on the front of the eye covered by the cornea).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Oeil
  • Morphologie et physiologie générale
DEF

Tissu translucide formé de fibres enchevêtrées qui filtrent le liquide intraoculaire [qui protège et nourrit] le cristallin et la cornée (l'humeur aqueuse) lorsqu’il s'écoule hors de l'œil.

OBS

Si ce filtre est altéré et que le liquide ne peut s’écouler correctement, la pression intraoculaire augmente, provoquant un glaucome.

Record 4 2013-01-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Eye Surgery
DEF

[A] surgical opening of the trabecular meshwork in congenital glaucoma.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chirurgie de l'œil
DEF

Intervention chirurgicale pratiquée en cas de glaucome congénital, consistant à sectionner à l'aide d'une aiguille spéciale (le goniotome) le tissu pathologique, le plus souvent d'origine embryonnaire, qui encombre l'angle iridocornéen et gêne l'évacuation de l'humeur aqueuse.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Cirugía del ojo
CONT

La goniotomía (operación de Barkan) es la técnica de elección en el glaucoma congénito. En esta operación se realiza una incisión arcuada, utilizando un bisturí especial, a través de la trama trabecular, a un nivel intermedio entre la raíz del iris y la línea de Schwalbe, de modo que se secciona la membrana de Barkan (tejidomesodérmico persistente en el ángulo camerular que impide el drenaje hacia el canal de Schlemm).

Record 5 2012-11-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Visual Disorders
DEF

[A form of] glaucoma in which contact of the iris with the peripheral cornea excludes aqueous humor from the trabecular drainage meshwork.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Troubles de la vision
DEF

Glaucome se déclenchant à la faveur de la fermeture de l'angle iridocornéen, la racine de l'iris venant s'accoler au tamis trabéculaire; l'humeur aqueuse ne peut atteindre le système de drainage qui lui permet normalement de s'évacuer [...]

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Trastornos de la visión
DEF

[Glaucoma] que se presenta por el aumento súbito de la presión intraocular asociada frecuentemente con ojos pequeños que en la oscuridad generan midriasis y el iris cierra mecánicamente el ángulo camerular impidiendo la salida del humor acuoso.

Record 6 2012-07-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Visual Disorders
  • Eye Surgery
DEF

The increased intraocular pressure caused by growth of connective tissue and new blood vessels upon the trabecular meshwork.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Troubles de la vision
  • Chirurgie de l'œil
DEF

[...] glaucome secondaire, de type obstructif, dû à une prolifération de néovaisseaux et d'un tissu fibreux dans l'angle iridocornéen et sur l'iris.
