Abstract

Introduction: Giant intracranial aneurysms (GIA) are rare and deadly diseases due to the high risk of rupture. The purpose of this report is to describe a case of GIA presenting as temporal hemianopia. Case Report: A 52-year-old male presented with worsening blurry vision three weeks before admission. Visual acuity was light perception in the right eye and 6/18 in the left eye. Neuro-ophthalmic examination revealed a relative afferent pupillary defect in the right eye and bilateral optic atrophy. At the next visit, the visual acuity of the right eye recovered to 6/18. Visual field testing showed temporal hemianopia in the left eye and generalized depression in the right eye. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a 0,4 cm x 2,5 cm x 1,9 cm saccular aneurysm, on the medial side of the left internal carotid artery (ICA). Discussion: A giant (diameter ≥2.5 cm) ICA aneurysm may compress the optic chiasm, leading to various stages of visual loss. Several factors are known to delicate balance between thrombogenesis and thrombolysis within the aneurysmal sac. Spontaneous intra-saccular thrombosis in an unruptured GIA may be induced by calcification within the atherosclerotic wall of the aneurysm and loss of elastic lamina. It is prone to occur in a narrow aneurysm neck (<0.4 cm). Thrombosis reduces the size of the aneurysm sac, in which the accumulated fluid is reabsorbed. This may explain the decompression effect on optic chiasm and spontaneous visual recovery.   Conclusion: Intracranial aneurysms are a rare cause of optic chiasm compression but can still be considered in cases of temporal hemianopia.

Abstract

Introduction: Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) is the most common type of optic neuropathy with symptoms of sudden and painless visual field defect and vision loss. Although evaluating the nonperfusion areas of the vascular ischemia have traditionally been visualized through fluorescein angiography, OCTA has proven to be effective in noninvasively representing the retinal vascular network. This literature review aims to evaluate the quantitaive OCTA assessment of peripapillary vessel density (VD) changes in AION. Methods: Literature search was performed in four databases (PubMed, ScienceDirect, ProQuest, and Cochrane Library) from 2018 to 2022 to identify relevant articles. Five studies were included in this review. Results: All five studies on OCTA findings of NAION eyes reported a reduction in the vessel density of peripapillary capillary plexus when compared to either the healthy control eyes or the fellow unaffected eyes. OCTA reveals vascular changes in both forms, aiding prognosis and treatment. One study comparing NAION and AAION indicates reduced vessel density in NAION and AAION, with more severe abnormalities and reduction of vessel density in AAION. Conclusion: OCTA can visualize alterations in vascular density in both types of AION, AAION and NAION, with a notably more pronounced reduction in peripapillary vessel density observed in AAION.
