Abstract

Introduction : Coats disease (CD) is an idiopathic retinal vascular disorder accompanied by retinal telangiectasia with intraretinal and/or subretinal exudation without appreciable retinal or vitreal traction. The disease most common in young males and unilateral involvement. The etiopathogenesis of CD is unclear. However, previous studies have reported changes in inflammatory cytokines, and levels of VEGF in aqueous humor are also higher in patients with CD. Case Illustration : We reported a 19-year-old man with complaints of decreased vision, floaters, and uncomfortable feelings in his RE, since one year before presentation. Initial examination showed visual acuity of the RE was 0.5F2 and the LE was 1.0. Examination of posterior segment showed irregularly-dilated telangiectatic vessels and exudative RD. We performed an OCT examination in both eyes and the results showed extensive cystoid macular edema in the RE. Ultrasonography of the RE also showed an exudative RD. The patient was diagnosed with Coats disease grade 3 and planned to receive intravitreal anti-VEGF injection in RE. After the second injection, OCT examination results showed no improvement in the patient's eye condition. Until now, we’re still trying to find a suitable therapy and considering laser photocoagulation. Discussion : Previous studies showed that there was an improvement in some CD patients only with anti-VEGF injections, but some other patients didn’t improve and had to get other additional therapy with laser photocoagulation/cryotherapy. It’s related to the severity of the disease, where a disease with grade ?3, tends to require combination therapy with laser photocoagulation/cryotherapy. Conclusion : Intravitreal anti-VEGF injections alone don’t show improvement in CD grade?3.

Abstract

Introduction : Endophthalmitis is a severe form of ocular inflammation and one of the most dreaded cataract surgery complications which may lead to loss of vision. Post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis is a serious complication that occurs when infecting organisms invade the posterior segment of the eye during the time of surgery. Currently, intravitreal injection of vancomycin along with ceftazidime is the first-line treatment, but another study showed a good result of intravitreal moxifloxacin injection in patients with Postoperative endophthalmitis. Case Illustration : We reported a 59-year-old woman presented with blurred vision, redness, and pain in the left eye 4 days after phacoemulsification. Visual acuity of LE was hand movement and anterior segment examination found that there was a conjunctival and pericorneal injection, corneal edema, cells, and anterior chamber fibrin formation. Ultrasonography examination showed severe levels of debris in the vitreous humor. Patient was diagnosed with acute post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis and received an intravitreal moxifloxacin injection. Fortunately, one week after that injection, there wasa good result in the patient’s eye condition. Visual acuity of LE improved to 0,1 and the patient planned to receive the second moxifloxacin injection to get the best possible results. Discussion : Moxifloxacin expresses broad-spectrum microbial coverage with a very good diffusion and low adverse effects. Moxifloxacin also has a better penetration ability into inflamed ocular tissue than all other antibiotics. Based on that, other studies said that intravitreal moxifloxacin can replace vancomycin and ceftazidime combinations for the treatment of ocular infections. Conclusion : Intravitreal moxifloxacin injections have a good result in acute post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis.
