Abstract

Graves’ Disease (GD) is the most common etiology of thyrotoxicosis, followed by toxic multinodular goiter and toxic adenoma. GD can be managed with anti-thyroid drugs (ATDs), surgery, or radioactive iodine (RAI). Thyroid-associated orbitopathy (TAO) or Graves’ Ophthalmopathy (GO) affects 25%-50% patients with GD, and its presence usually dissuade clinicians to use RAI in treating hyperthyroidism. The presence of GO is a relative contraindication use of RAI in patients with GD, as RAI can worsen existing GO. Corticosteroid prophylaxis can be given to such patients to reduce likelihood of worsening of GO. However, patient with moderate to severe active GO is currently advised against undergoing RAI. Established guidelines recommend the use of corticosteroid prophylaxis in these patients. We reported a patients with GD and orbitopathy who was treated with RAI and was given steroid prophylaxis to prevent worsening of GO.

Abstract

Introduction: Ocular blast injury related to fireworks most often causing corneal erosion (29%), conjunctival erosion (11%), and conjunctival foreign body (10%) with children are more often than adults (65.9%:34.1%), and males far more often than female (71.9%:28.1%). Knowing proper management is very important to achieve the best result. Case presentation: We describe an ocular blast injury that experienced broad erosion and multiple foreign bodies on the corneal and pericorneal surface in the left eye and visual acuity decreased. The foreign body was scattered, and the fluorescein test was positive. We did proper foreign body extraction, irrigation, and ocular bandage. It was treated with chloramphenicol 0.5% eye ointment and homatropine eye drop. In two months, the patient’s left eye had clear cornea with a small scar formation near the visual axis. The visual acuity was 6/7 and BCVA was 6/6 with S-0.5 C-0.5 A 50° correction. Conclusions: Patients with ocular blast injury limited to superficial cornea erosion and and conjunctival erosion have a reasonable probability of achieving the best visual acuity. Foreign body extraction, proper irrigation, and topical medication show promising results. Scar formation near the visual axis can disrupt visual acuity however can be corrected in this case it can be corrected with glasses. Furthermore, public promotion and regulation to control firework using are very important.

Abstract

Introduction: Tertiary care centers often manage pediatric orbital tumors, especially in advanced lesions and complex management. We report a case of a young boy with a malignant orbital tumor involving intracranial infiltration. Case presentation: A four-year-old boy had proptosis on the left eye for two months accompanied with blurred vision, pain, and oftenly bleeds with ipsilateral nasal congestion. There was no history of trauma, eye disorders, systemic diseases, or growth disorders.  The physical examination showed stable vital signs, however a weak general condition and no enlarged regional lymph nodes. Visual acuity of the left eye was no light perception. There was a mass with protrusion of the left eye, swelling of the eyelid with an irregular surface, and a tendency to bleeds. The cornea was hazy with partly scarring, so we could not evaluate the posterior segment. MRI of the head presented a malignant soft tissue mass of the left orbital region with intracranial infiltration. The patient was given adjuvant chemotherapy; however, he could not survive due to systemic complications. Conclusions: The definitive diagnosis for the orbital tumor is obtained by histopathological examination. The investigation with CT scan or MRI imaging could be considered if not possible. However, since the definitive diagnosis still not assessed, the management can be affected. It is essential to have a definitive diagnosis to provide adequate treatment for the patients. Delayed and inadequate management can make malignant orbital tumors potentially life-threatening.

Abstract

Introduction: The main challenge of pterygium management is the postoperative recurrence rate. Currently, the use of surgical sutures for conjunctival autograft fixation, which has prolonged surgery duration, has a risk of increased inflammation and infection. Recently, some reports about autologous blood coagulum (ABC) for conjunctival autograft fixation. This technique has a minimal cost and minimal risk of infection. Purpose: The study aimed to evaluate the postoperative recurrence rate and graft stability after using ABC and sutures. Methods: A systematic research was done on Pubmed, Cochrane Library, and Science Direct online databases for all relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) up to 18 July 2020. The collected RCTs were independently screened and identified to match the inclusion criteria. The relevant data were compiled in population, intervention, control, outcomes (PICOs) format and analyzed with Review Manager 5.3 software. Results: Nine RCTs involving a total of 764 patients were assessed. The primary outcome indicates that ABC significantly reduced the recurrence rate compared to sutures (RR = 0.51, 95% CI 0.27 to 0.98, p = 0.04). Meanwhile, in graft stability, the suture was statistically better than ABC (RR = 1.95, 95% CI 1.27 to 3.01, p = 0.002). As a secondary outcome, the duration of surgery was significantly shorter in ABC than in sutures (MD -15.22, 95% CI -22.57 to -7.88, p<0.0001). Conclusions: Although the graft is less stable, ABC may be a promising approach after pterygium excision. The use of autologous blood for conjunctival autograft fixation in primary pterygium was associated with a lower recurrence rate and shorter duration of surgery.

Abstract

Introduction: Graves’ Orbitopathy is a self-limiting autoimmune process associated with dysthyroid states, and if left untreated can lead to a number of complications, ranging from mild to sight-threatening. Corneal ulcer is one of the sight-threatening complications of Graves’ Orbitopathy. Case Report: A 22-year-old woman came with a complaint of blurred vision and retrobulbar pain on both eyes that happened gradually for 2 months, preceded by protrusion on both eyes. She had history of untreated hyperthyroid disease for 7 years. Her visual acuity was 1/60 and hand movement on the right and left eye, respectively. Anterior segment examination on both eyes revealed eyelids redness and swelling, redness and chemosis of conjunctiva, and corneal ulcer with descemetocele on her right eye. All of these clinical findings support the diagnosis of an active, sight-threatening Graves’ Orbitopathy. Discussion: The management of this patient involves; 1) thyroid function control due to the high level of thyroid function, 2) active, sight-threatening Graves’ orbitopathy management using high doses of intravenous methylprednisolon as guided by the 2016 European Group on Graves’ Orbitopathy (EUGOGO) guidelines protocol, 3) Application of amniotic membrane transplant to prevent the prolapse of intraocular tissue. Conclusion: By following EUGOGO guideline protocol, the clinical condition of this patient improved, but the management of an active, sight-threatening Graves’ Orbitopathy remains challenging and should be covered by multidisciplinary approach.

Abstract

Highlights The histopathological types of OSSN were significantly associated with age and occupation. The study's findings enhance the understanding of OSSN in Indonesia and emphasize the importance of UV exposure, occupation, and age in its development.   Abstract Background:  Ocular Surface Squamous Neoplasia (OSSN) is a spectrum of tumors affecting the conjunctiva and cornea, in which a more invasive type of OSSN has a higher recurrence rate. As a tropical country, Indonesia is constantly exposed to intense ultraviolet (UV) radiation, the main risk factor for OSSN. Despite this, there are very few studies regarding OSSN in Indonesia. Objective:  This study aimed to analyze the association between sociodemographic characteristics such as age, sex, and types of occupation (outdoor and indoor) and histopathological types of OSSN to fill the gap in research and contribute to early diagnostic strategies. Material and Method: Sociodemographic and histopathological data were extracted from the medical records of patients who were histopathologically diagnosed with OSSN at Dr. Soetomo General Hospital from 2017 to 2021. Data from 88 samples that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were classified and analyzed with descriptive statistics and a two-sided Fisher's exact test using SPSS version 27.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, N.Y., USA). Result: The exact test results of the two-sided fisher revealed a statistically significant relationship between age (p = 0.0004) and occupation type (p = 0.049) with histopathological types of OSSN. However, no significant association was found between sex and histopathological types of OSSN (p = 0.130). Conclusion: Age and occupation were found to have a significant association with the histopathological types of OSSN, reinforcing the need for further exploration of its strength and nature to be considered by future researchers.

Abstract

Introduction: Melanoma is a dangerous malignancy primarily involving the choroid, ciliary body, or iris. The most frequent primary intraocular malignant tumor is choroidal melanoma. The tumor most often affects Caucasians of Northern Europe ranging between the ages of 50 and 80. Most choroidal melanomas are pigmented, however, non-pigmented or mixed pigmented and non-pigmented forms can also happen. Compared with other amelanotic choroidal lesions, amelanotic choroidal melanoma showed markedly greater basal diameter, thickness, frequent connection with subretinal fluid, and ultrasonic hollowness. Extrascleral extension is currently detected in 10% to 28% of choroidal melanoma patients, and the mortality rate is much greater than in those without the extension. Case Presentation: We reported a rare case of extraocular extension in a 51-year-old female patient with amelanotic melanoma. The primary complaint was a painful and bleeding mass on her left eye that had developed two months prior to admission. On the conjunctiva of the left eye, there was a solid, palpable mass measuring 4 x 3.5 x 1 cm. It was red, well-defined, and had a hard, solid consistency. It was fixed at the base, had minimal bleeding, and pressed on her eyeball from the inferolateral direction. The cornea appears clear, and there is no light perception in visual acuity. The orbital focus computed tomography scan revealed an Enhancing solid mass containing a fat component. The mass was in the left intraocular, extending from intraconal to extraconal. Conclusions: Amelanotic melanoma with extraocular extension is a rare condition that can be difficult to detect due to its unclear clinical symptoms and wide range of possible causes. Patients and their families must be educated to receive the appropriate first therapy and prevent the illness from worsening. Melanoma management depends on several factors: tumor size, location, related characteristics, opposite eye status, systemic status, and patient preference. Orbital exenteration is one of the management options for choroidal melanoma with significant extraocular extension. By the time ocular treatment begins, the patient's survival may already be predetermined, and this realization could impact how uveal melanoma is treated in the years to come.

Abstract

Introduction: Thyroid eye disease (TED), an autoimmune thyroid disorder, is prevalent in Asian countries and exhibits a variety of manifestations. Orbital involvement in TED is usually bilateral but may occur unilaterally in some cases. While it is commonly associated with hyperthyroidism, it also manifests in individuals with hypothyroidism or euthyroidism. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between TED laterality and thyroid status in TED patients treated at the Eye Oncology Clinic of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital in Surabaya, Indonesia.Methods: The study was retrospective, analytical and observational. Patients diagnosed with TED who were treated at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital between January 2019 and December 2021 were the focus of this study. SPSS analyses of medical records that satisfied the sample criteria were used to compile the data for this study.Results: There were 88 samples that were dominated by females (57.95%) and aged 41 – 50 (32.96%). Proptosis was the most common clinical manifestation (94.32%), with compressive optic neuropathy was the least common (3,41%). Eyelid retraction occurred in only 22.7% of the patients. TED was categorized into unilateral (44.32%) and bilateral (50%). The majority had hyperthyroidism (70.45%), followed by euthyroidism (25%), and hypothyroidism (4.55%). It was found that there was a significant correlation between thyroid status and TED laterality. Compared to euthyroidism, abnormal thyroid conditions such as hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism develop bilateral TED more frequently than normal thyroid conditions.Conclusion: There was a correlation between TED laterality and thyroid status among patient TED.

Abstract

Highlights:1. This study, conducted at a tertiary hospital, was the first to analyze the correlation between thyroid status and clinical activity score in thyroid eye disease.2. This study offers valuable information regarding the crucial role of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in determining the clinical activity score of thyroid eye disease.   Abstract Thyroid eye disease is an autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammation of the orbital and periorbital tissues. This condition can lead to vision impairment, which is a notable manifestation of thyroid disease. The symptoms of thyroid disease reflected the level of inflammatory activity, whereas the clinical activity score was indicative of active and inactive phases. This retrospective analysis explored the intricate association between thyroid status and clinical activity score in thyroid eye disease patients, with the hope of providing a foundation for further research on the association between thyroid status and the occurrence of TED. This study utilized medical records from the years 2019 to 2022 from the Outpatient Department of Ophthalmic Oncology of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia. The variables examined in this study were thyroid status and the clinical activity score of thyroid eye disease. The statistical analysis was performed using Phi and Cramer's V as well as Spearman's correlation test (p<0.05). A total of 88 patients were diagnosed with thyroid eye disease during the study period. Thyroid eye disease primarily affected female patients (58%) and those who had a mean age of ≥41 years (58%). The Phi and Cramer's V analyses indicated no significant association (p > 0.05) between thyroid status and clinical activity score in thyroid eye disease patients. Intriguingly, the results exhibited the presence of euthyroidism as well as both overt and subclinical hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, regardless of the clinical activity score. Additionally, the Spearman test that incorporated the levels of thyroid hormones, i.e., triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), and free thyroxine (FT4), showed a significant negative correlation (p<0.05) between TSH and clinical activity score. In conclusion, THS plays a crucial role in determining the clinical activity score of thyroid eye disease patients. This study underscores the imperative for further research to comprehensively elucidate the intricate correlation between TSH and clinical activity score.

Abstract

Introduction: Conjunctival cysts can be categorized as primary or secondary. This report emphasizes difficulties in diagnosing secondary conjunctival cysts and distinguishing them from other conjunctival lesions like conjunctival benign reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (BRLH). Case Presentation: A 43-year-old male had a painless progressive conjunctival mass for four months. He took anti-aging and muscle-enhancing injections for a year and changed the product brand four months ago. Our examination revealed a conjunctival translucent mass with distinct margins and surface-feeding vessels without visual disturbance. We provisionally diagnosed it as a conjunctival cyst with a differential diagnosis of BRLH. We treated the patient with oral methylprednisolone and dexamethasone eye drops and discontinuation of anti-aging injections. The mass completely disappeared after one month of treatment. Conclusions: This case presented a diagnostic challenge due to the presence of a feeding vessel, which indicated inflammation. This made differentiating from inflamed conjunctival masses, such as BRLH, difficult. The patient had a history of suspected inflammation from changing the brand of injectable drug. Initially, we used steroids to reduce inflammation and prevent mass growth, but surprisingly, the lesion completely disappeared. If it recurs, a biopsy may be needed to identify the exact cause, as we have not ruled out BRLH. Secondary conjunctival cysts can result from toxins, trauma, or allergies. A thorough history taking, eye examination, and biopsy may be necessary to rule out other causes of inflamed conjunctival masses.
