Abstract

Highlights: Most rhinosinusitis patients with orbital complications were diagnosed as chronic rhinosinusitis. Orbital cellulitis (Chandler II) was the most common orbital complication degree. Rhinosinusitis patients with orbital complications commonly experience eye pain, swollen eyes, and persistent runny noses.   Abstract Introduction: Rhinosinusitis is an inflammation of the mucosa of the nasal cavity and/or paranasal sinuses. The most common complication is orbital. The limited data available does not account for the high number of cases of rhinosinusitis. This study examined the profile of rhinosinusitis patients with orbital complications. Methods: This was an observational descriptive study with a retrospective design. It used secondary data from medical records of patients with rhinosinusitis and orbital complications at the Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) Outpatient Unit, Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, from January 2015 to April 2022. Results: There were 40 samples that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria (n=40). As many as 80% of cases were chronic rhinosinusitis, and 20% were acute. The average age of chronic rhinosinusitis was in 6th decade, while acute rhinosinusitis (ARS) was in 3rd decade. The majority of patients were males and reside outside Surabaya. Signs and symptoms that ARS patients often experienced were eye pain and swelling, nasal congestion, persistent runny nose, and decreased vision. Meanwhile, chronic rhinosinusitis included eye swelling and pain, persistent runny nose, and facial pain. The most common Chandler’s degree was orbital cellulitis (Chandler II). The most common treatment for ARS was a combination of medicamentosa and non-medicamentosa or medicamentosa and surgery, while chronic rhinosinusitis was a combination of medicamentosa, non-medicamentosa, and surgery. Conclusion: There were outcome differences between patients with acute and chronic rhinosinusitis regarding age, manifestations, and treatments, but there were similarities in sex, domicile, and Chandler’s degree predominance.

Abstract

Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness. The aim of this study was to review the profile of secondary glaucoma cases visiting a tertiary hospital in East Java. This is retrospective observational study, completed case records of new patients with secondary glaucoma who presented to glaucoma clinic from January 2014 to April 2016 were included. Out of the 363 case records screened, 66 cases were found to eligible for inclusion. The evaluation included a detailed history and examination performed including vision, anterior segment examination, intraocular pressure (IOP), gonioscopy, and fundus evaluation. Diagnosis of secondary glaucoma was made on the basis of presence of a secondary cause for presence of raised IOP. 66 cases were eligible for inclusion in the study, most of the cases was occurred in the range age 21-50 years. The male female ratio was 1.3:1. Frequent causes of secondary glaucoma were lens factor 30.8%, steroid induced 29.5%, uveitic 20.5%, neovascular15.4%, and surgical complication 3.8%. Most patients with secondary glaucoma have poor vision < 0.1 with high IOP at presentation. Assessment and early detection of underlying cause is the key guide to treatment strategy.

Abstract

Introduction: Pigment dispersion syndrome (PDS) is characterized by pigment accumulation in the anterior chamber and a concave peripheral iris. Many PDS patients are not diagnosed until the disease has progressed to pigmentary glaucoma or other visual problems. Since glaucoma is the primary cause of permanent blindness globally, it is crucial to perform a thorough examination on patients with PDS to identify early indicators of pigmentary glaucoma (PG). Case Presentation: A 17-year-old female presented to the ophthalmology outpatient unit with eye pain and headache. The intraocular pressure (IOP) in the right eye was 30 mmHg, while in the left eye, it was 20.5 mmHg due to the peripheral iris' concavity and heavy pigmentation in the trabecular mesh in both eyes. The patient was diagnosed with pigment dispersion syndrome in both eyes and was given timolol maleate 0.5% eye drops. A follow-up examination revealed a decrease in the IOP and pain. Conclusions: Many young PDS patients go undiagnosed, and those with glaucoma are misdiagnosed as having juvenile onset glaucoma or primary open angle glaucoma. When high IOP is seen in young myopic patients, a thorough evaluation of the anterior segment is required. The patient should be aware of the progression of PG, and regular follow-up is recommended.

Abstract

Introduction: Glaucoma is known as a thief of sight due to its progressive visual field loss with symptoms typically manifesting only at advanced stages. Visual field loss, particularly peripheral vision, can affect patients’ quality of life (QoL) in performing activities of daily living. Glaucoma cases are predicted to rise by 74% worldwide between 2013 and 2040. Aims: Assess the correlation between the degree of visual field loss and disturbance in activities of daily living in glaucoma outpatients. Methods: A total of 60 patients from Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital were interviewed using the NEI VFQ-25 on near vision, distance vision, peripheral vision, social function, driving, and dependency subscales. Visual field loss was assessed using the Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer (HFA) and categorized based on the Hodapp, Parish, and Anderson (HPA) classification using the better-eye mean deviation value. Meanwhile, Spearman’s rank correlation was used to determine the correlation between the patients’ visual field loss and NEI VFQ-25 interview results. Results: Significant moderate correlations were observed between visual field loss and the social function (r = 0.545) and dependency (r = 0.483) subscales. Significant weak correlations were observed in the near vision (r = 0.351), distance vision (r = 0.383), and peripheral vision (r = 0.398) subscales. An insignificant weak correlation was observed in the driving subscale (r = 0.262). Conclusion: Visual field loss in glaucoma patients is associated with impaired performance in activities of daily living, with the severity of limitation increasing in line with the progression of visual field loss.

Abstract

Introduction : The dilemma in diagnosing glaucoma often arises when optic atrophy is found alongside nonspecific glaucomatous findings and normal intraocular pressure (IOP), particularly in cases of normal tension glaucoma (NTG). This gray zone often leads to doubt and misdiagnosis. Case Illustration : A 70-year-old man previously diagnosed with idiopathic bilateral optic atrophy complained of blurred vision in both eyes. The visual acuity was 5/5 in the right eye (RE) and hand movement in the left eye (LE). Both eyes had normal IOP, open angles with Sampaolesi lines on gonioscopy, fibrin deposits at pupillary margins, and a large cup-to-disc ratio with baring and peripapillary atrophy on funduscopy. The OCT examination revealed thinning in the ONH-RNFL, ILM-RPE, and GCL-IPL complexes. HFA revealed tunnel vision in RE and general depression in LE. The patient was suspected of having NTG. We performed BMO-MRW (less than 100 ?m in both eyes) and 24-hour ocular perfusion pressure (OPP) measurements (less than 50 mmHg at night) to support the diagnosis. Discussion : The BMO-MRW examination is a new parameter that can help establish the diagnosis of glaucoma. A thin BMO-MRW finding suggests that optic atrophy originates from glaucoma. It is important to perform a comprehensive examination in cases of NTG to identify risk factors and prevent the development of glaucoma. Decreased OPP to less than 50 mmHg and PEX syndrome may be risk factors for NTG. Conclusion : In cases of doubtful optical atrophy, it is important to consider the possibility of NTG by performing a comprehensive examination, including BMO-MRW and twenty-four hour OPP measurements.

Abstract

Introduction : Hyphema results from damage to the blood vessels of the iris or anterior ciliary body after blunt trauma, and in 56–100% of cases can occur angle recession. Case Illustration : A 40-year-old man complaints of pain and blurred left eye after being sprayed by a high-pressure fire hydrant five hours before coming to the emergency room. Visual acuity was 20/20 and hand movement in right and left eye, IOP is 13 mmHg and 18 mmHg in both eyes. Subconjunctival bleeding, conjunctival and pericorneal injections were found with punctate fluorescein test in the left eye. The cornea was edema and the anterior chamber was full of hyphema. Five days after being hospitalized and treated with topical atropine, antibiotics, and steroid in combination with oral tranexamic acid, the visual acuity was 5/6.5 and the hyphema was resolved. The IOP elevated after 1-6 weeks of follow-up in the outpatient clinic then timolol eyedrops were given. Gonioscopy showed widening of CBB, torn iris processus 2 clock hours in the inferior quadrant. The antiglaucoma medication was stopped due to the controlled IOP in the end episode of the treatment. Discussion : Angle recession involves a tear between the longitudinal and circular muscle fibres of the ciliary body. Medication is needed to control the IOP, while surgical management only indicated in cases where medical treatment fails to control the IOP and risk of progressive visual loss. Conclusion : Angle recession can occur after blunt eye trauma with hyphema and IOP control is needed to prevent the development of secondary glaucoma.
