Abstract

Background: Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is one of the microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus (DM) that is prevalent to the blindness risk. The World Health Organization (WHO) considers Proliferative DR one of the priorities of eye diseases. This disease is caused by angiogenesis brought about by Vascular Endothelial Growth Factors (VEGF). The Anti-VEGF Bevacizumab (Avastin) injection is considered sufficient in preventing proliferative DR patients from blindness. This study aimed to identify the characteristics of patients with proliferative DR underwent Anti-VEGF injection at Cicendo Eye Hospital, Bandung.Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted from August−October 2014 using 40 medical records of patients with proliferative DR underwent Anti-VEGF Bevacizumab (Avastin) injection at the Cicendo Eye Hospital Bandung from January−December 2013. Inclusion criteria were the patients underwent anti-VEGF injection with complete medical records with minimum follow up of 3 weeks.Results: Among 40 patients, 55% were male and 45% were female. Furthermore, there was 100% found for DM Type 2. Moreover, random blood glucose varied among 140–200mg/dl (50%), while the hypertension was mostly at stage 2. Some of these patients had proliferative DR with vitreal hemorrhage (25%), macular edema (40%), and/or tractionalablasio retina (22.5%). Most patients had an improvement in their visual acuity (60%).Conclusions: Most of patients are male, aged 50–59 years old, random blood glucose among 140– 200mg/dl, followed DM Type 2 and hypertension stage 2. Anti-VEGF injection improves visual acuity. [AMJ.2016;3(2):280–5]DOI: 10.15850/amj.v3n2.781

Abstract

Abstract Introduction : Bilateral INO is a rare disease caused by a lesion in the medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF) in the pons, resulting in adduction deficit. Progression to ptosis is rare and may confuse with pseudo-INO as in ocular myasthenia gravis (OMG). This case aims to report progressive ptosis in bilateral INO that mimics pseudo-INO. Case Illustration : A 36-year-old woman complained sudden binocular diplopia 4 days before admission. Bilateral adduction deficits (-3 and -2 of right and left eye, respectively) with nystagmus were seen. There was no ptosis. The patient was diagnosed with bilateral INO. One month later, the patient returned with bilateral ptosis. The marginal reflex distance 1 (MRD1) were 0 on both eyes. Post fatigue and ice pack test showed 2mm difference of MRD1. The single fiber electromyography (EMG) result came out negative with jitter <10%. Brain MRI revealed lesions in the posterior pons and periaqueductal on the level of midbrain. Discussion : The MLF controls 6th and contralateral 3rd cranial nerve nucleus for horizontal gaze. Ptosis in INO can occurred due to central caudal subnucleus involvement in midbrain that innervates levator palpebra. The result of fatigue and ice pack test may be misleading, as those are not pathognomonic for OMG. The single-fiber EMG are valuable modalities to exclude pseudo-INO in this case. Conclusion : Progressive bilateral ptosis may occur in bilateral INO. Fatigue and ice pack test may give false- positive results leading to confusion with pseudo-INO, rather than true INO. Supporting examinations are needed to confirm the diagnosis.
