Abstract

Introduction: The Endophthalmitis Vitrectomy Study revealed that only a small percentage of endophthalmitis cases, specifically 4.1%, were caused by Gram-negative organisms, and the most frequent of these was Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Moreover, poor visual outcomes were consistently linked to this bacterium. Objective: To provide knowledge regarding Pseudomonas aeruginosa as a cause of exogenous endophthalmitis and its management. Case Illustration: A 65-year-old male was admitted to the Emergency Department due to pain and blurred vision in his left eye. After cataract surgery, three days prior, these symptoms had been present for four days. The patient had conjunctival redness, corneal edema, posterior synechia of the iris, and very low visual acuity in the affected eye. A B-mode ocular ultrasonography revealed a considerable vitreous opacity and an aberrant echo in the left eye, suggesting endophthalmitis in the patient. The patient underwent emergency surgery immediately, including Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), Silicon oil, IOL extraction, and intravitreal antibiotics injection. Moreover, Pseudomonas aeruginosa was found in the vitreous by a smear test and culture process. On the first day after the surgery, the patient's vision improved to light perception but with incorrect projection. A Fundus exam showed an attached retina with silicon oil and no macular edema. After one month, the patient's visual acuity improved to 2/60. Conclusions: Identifying the causative organisms in infectious endophthalmitis is critical in determining treatment and visual results. Pars Plana Vitrectomy (PPV) followed by intravitreal injection of antibiotics as the "gold standard" treatment for acute postoperative endophthalmitis.

Abstract

Introduction: Gelatinous drop-like dystrophy (GDLD) presents as an infrequent form of corneal dystrophy characterized by an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. While its incidence in Japan stands at roughly 1 in 33,000 individuals, it manifests less frequently in other populations. Surgical intervention, such as lamellar or penetrating keratoplasty is typically necessary to relieve symptoms Objective: To describe 3 cases of Gelatinous drop-like dystrophy and their treatment approaches Illustration: Three brothers were diagnosed with corneal dystrophy, marked by a white-yellow nodular lesion resembling a kumquat on the corneal surface. Each patient exhibited light perception with good projection in terms of visual acuity. All underwent full-thickness lamellar keratoplasty for treatment. A month post-surgery, their visual acuity had improved to 3/60, 2/60, and 2/60, respectively. Conclusion: GDLD is a rare corneal condition associated with potential vision loss. Identification through familial history, corneal clinical features and involvement contributes to diagnosing GDLD. Full-thickness penetrating keratoplasty may be considered for managing significant visual impairment resulting from GDLD Keywords: corneal dystrophy, full-thickness penetrating keratoplasty, gelatinous drop-like

Abstract

Introduction : Keratoconus (KC) is a rare eye disorder that causes corneal thinning and visual disturbances. KC prevalence in the pediatric population is 0.16%. Children with keratoconus experience faster disease progression and significant visual impairment at diagnosis, impacting their quality of life. This case report aims to raise awareness and provide knowledge regarding KC for general practitioners. Case Illustration : A 14-year-old male visited a primary healthcare facility complaining of difficulty seeing words on the classroom board for the past year. His best-corrected visual acuity was 6/15 (S-10.25 C-5.25x30) OD and 6/60 (S-25.00 C-2.75x150) OS. Upon examination, it was observed that the left cornea was more protruding than the right, with a positive Rizzuti and Munson sign. Based on the findings, the patient was suspected of having keratoconus with amblyopia and was referred to an ophthalmologist for further examination and management. Discussion : Keratoconus is severe and burdensome to society, impacting children's education and quality of life. Early detection and intervention are crucial to prevent worsening. KC can be detected in primary healthcare by observing external signs such as Rizzuti and Munson. KC can lead to severe vision problems and even amblyopia if left untreated. Treating pediatric KC involves improving vision using contact lenses. In cases where contact lenses cannot be used, keratoplasty may be necessary. Conclusion : Primary healthcare providers can identify and assess keratoconus in patients and make referrals to ophthalmologists for treatment to minimize the impact on vision and stop its progression.

Abstract

Introduction : Gelatinous drop-like dystrophy (GDLD) is a rare type of corneal dystrophy with an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. Although the prevalence in Japan is approximately 1 in 33,000, it is much less common in other nations. Lamellar or penetrating keratoplasty is needed for most patients to alleviate the symptoms. This case series aims to provide knowledge regarding rare cases of GDLD and its management. Case Illustration : Three male siblings from consanguineous marriage were found to have corneal dystrophy, characterized by a white-yellow nodular lesion with a kumquat-like appearance on the corneal surface. The visual acuity of each patient was light perception with good projection. To treat the condition, all patients underwent full-thickness penetrating keratoplasty. One month after the procedure, their visual acuity had improved to 3/60, 2/60, and 2/60, respectively. Discussion : GDLD is a genetic disease with gelatinous amyloid deposits in the cornea that typically manifests within the first decades of life. GDLD can present in three different phenotypes, including band keratopathy, mulberry, and kumquat-like appearance. In the case of these siblings, they have developed the severe kumquat-like phenotype. Detection by examining family involvement and the cornea's clinical presentation can help diagnose GDLD. Full-thickness penetrating keratoplasty can be an option for managing severely impaired visual acuity caused by GDLD. Conclusion : GDLD is a rare corneal dystrophy that can lead to severe visual impairment. The objective of treating GDLD is to enhance vision and prevent its progression. Vision loss can be alleviated througha surgical procedure such as full-thickness penetrating keratoplasty.
