The scientific program was covered more than 500 symposia , 590 accepted papers, 90 instruction courses , 1900 posters, 128 videos to view through the W.O.C 2014. one of the new programs at this congress was W.O.C update
the program showed the progress over the past year and research in neuro ophthalmology, uveites and Ocular genetic , nano ophthalmology, medical retina and glaucoma, stem cell research, refractive surgery, oculoplastics cataract surgery and surgical retina |

keywords: chorioretinitis sclopetaria, Pars plana deep vitrectomy,spontaneous chorioretinal adhesion
objective/purpose
to report a case of chorioretinitis sclopetaria who uderwent pars plana vitrectomy without retinopexy
materials/patients
a ten years old boy with chorioretinitis sclopetaria and dens vitreous hemorrhage
mettods
the pateint underwent pars plana deep vitrectomy creating posteriorvitreous detachment and removing the blood.
result and conclusion
the retina remained attached after about nine years.it seems that in spite of sever chorioretinal defect in chorioretinitis sclopetaria retinal detachment does not usually occur due to spontaneous chorioretinal adhesion and scar formation even whit vitrectomy without retinopexy. |

Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : |
the congress was very academic and useful about all of the ophthalmology subject specially in surgery and medical retina fore me.
contortionists secretarial is a rare clinical presentation resulting from trauma caused by a high- velocity projectile object passing adjacent to or through the orbit without penetrating the globe.this injury causes a full-thickness chorioretinal defect and visual loss.
the term scloperaria may come from two different origins. the verb sclaw or claw, which means to scratch , pull or tear therefore sclopctaria is scratching or clawing at the globe-or the latin word sclopetum , which denotes a roman long weapon, the term chorioretinitis would refer to the post-traumatic inflammation.
chorioretinitis sclopetaria refers to a simultaneous break in the retina and choroid resulting from a high-velocity missile passing adjacent to coming into contact with the globe, entering the orbit without causing a scleral rupture. simultaneous retraction of the choroids and retina at the site of the break reveals bare sclera.
tow mechanisms have been considered here:damage adjacent to the pathway of the missile is responsible for the direct injury. and the indirect injury is caused by the shock waves transmitted to the globe.
these patients have a low chance of retinal detachment , which is the result of full-thickness chorioretinal dehiscence followed by marked fibrovascular proliferation and scar formation. in our case which have presented by poster in spite of removing the posterior hyaloid face, the retina remained attached even after about nine years follow up. |
