Abstract

Introduction: Vitreous hemorrhage is the presence of blood in the vitreous cavity. This condition could impair the visual function and hindered the clinician’s ability to examine the posterior segment of the eye. Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) not only act as a surgical treatment of choice but also diagnostic procedure. Immediate PPV has the advantage to optimalize visual acuity Methods: Retrospective descriptive study of vitreous hemorrhage patients underwent pars plana vitrectomy in Ciptomangunkusumo Hospital, Indonesia from January to December 2018 Result: There were 160 cases of vitreous hemorrhage cases undergoes pars plana vitrectomy in 2018. Most frequent etiology was proliferative diabetic retinopathy (49.4%). Rebleeding was found only in 8 cases within the period of three months follow up. Final visual acuity was improved in majority of the cases and found to be related to timing of the surgery. Conclusion: Early vitrectomy along with systemic control of underlying factors lead to improvement of visual acuity in vitreous hemorrhage.

Abstract

Introduction: Retinal arterio-venous malformations (AVMs) are rare, congenital, high-flow congenital developmental vascular anomalies without intervening capillary bed also known as racemose angioma, They are unilateral, nonhereditary lesions located anywhere in retina and may involve optic nerve. Case report: A 55 year old male was found to have abnormal congenital arterio-venous malformation over optic nerve head in his left eye, as an incidental clinical finding. He had reported for his routine fundus examination due to diabetes. He had no other relevant systemic findings. Further follow up was advised to see the progression of the lesion and structural damage to optic nerve. Discussion: The typical clinical picture, fluorescein angiogram findings, normal MRI brain and orbits, and normal base line blood investigations all points in favour of a congenital arterio-venous malformation. Conclusion: Arterio- venous malformations of Optic nerve head are very rare to find as compared to retinal malformations. This is the first such case report from India.

Abstract

Introduction: The objective of this study was to assess the neurodevelopmental outcomes in preterm infants who have undergone intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF), either as monotherapy or in combination with laser therapy, for treatment of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Secondary, efficacy of anti-VEGF was also evaluated. Methods: Literature search was conducted using 7 online databases (CENTRAL, PubMed, ScienceDirect, SCOPUS, EBSCO, ProQuest, and JSTOR). Studies were selected based on the established inclusion and exclusion criteria. Primary outcomes were neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI), severe NDI (sNDI), neurodevelopmental scores, and cerebral palsy (CP) incidence. Secondary outcomes included impairment and severe impairment of each domain (motor, cognitive, and language) and retreatment of ROP. Result: Seventeen studies were included. Random-effects model meta-analysis showed no differences were observed between anti-VEGF compared to control group in NDI (unadjusted odds ratio (uOR) 1.28; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.85 to 1.94), sNDI (uOR 1.33; 95% CI 0.92 to 1.93), and CP outcomes . Meta-analysis showed insignificant result with lower overall scores, motor, cognitive, and language domains associated with anti-VEGF treatment. Secondary outcomes showed inferior cognitive impairment (OR 1.41; 95% CI: 1.03 to 1.92) and higher retreatment rate (OR 47.55; 95% CI: 12.35 to 183.09) in anti-VEGF group. Conclusion: There were no differences in neurodevelopmental outcomes between anti-VEGF and control group. Despite not causing any adverse neurodevelopmental effect, clinicians should carefully weigh the benefits and risks of anti-VEGF injection for treating infants with ROP, since it has higher retreatment rate.

Abstract

Introduction: Panretinal laser photocoagulation (PRP) is a standard treatment for severe nonproliferative and proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Twenty-milisecond duration PRP show same effectiveness with 100-ms standard PRP in inhibit neovascularization progression. This shorter pulse tend to minimize retinal neuronal defect and visual field defect. This study aim to analyze the difference of visual field defect in diabetic retinopathy (DR) patients treated with 20-ms PRP compared with 100-ms PRP in Moh. Hoesin Hospital Palembang. Methods: A clinical trial with single blinding on severe-very severe NPDR and early PDR eyes treated with PRP between June and August 2016. Forty eyes (25 patients) were randomized into two groups. Twenty eyes were treated with 20-ms PRP, and other 20 eyes treated with 100-ms PRP. Visual field defect was evaluated using Humphrey Field Analyzer 30-2 SITA Standard at baseline and 2 weeks follow-up. Result: Unpaired t-test showed significant difference in mean deviation (MD) after laser on NPDR eyes (p=0.042, p<0.05), meanwhile there was no significant difference in early PDR eyes (p=0.17, p>0.05). In NPDR eyes, more MD improvement was found in 20-ms PRP group (0.79±0.93 dB) than in 100-ms group (-0.04±0.61 dB). In early PDR eyes, MD improvement was bigger (1.0±0.88 dB) in 20-ms PRP group than in 100-ms group (0.10±1.47 dB). There was no significant difference in pattern standard deviation (PSD) on both group at any DR grade (p=0.208; p=0.201; p>0.05). Conclusion: After 2 weeks, 20-ms PRP caused more improvement and lesser visual field defect (p=0.042, p<0.05) on NPDR eyes. There was no significant difference in PSD on both groups.

Abstract

Introduction: Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) is a manifestation of diabetic retinopathy and is the most common cause of vision loss in diabetics. The incidence of DME has a tendency to increase, concomitant with the prevalence of diabetes globally by more than 50% from 2000 to 2030. This study aims to evaluate the proportion of central macular thickness (CMT) improvement and visual acuity in DME patients treated with intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) injection. Methods: This study is a retrospective descriptive study. The study was conducted in the Department of Ophthalmology at RSUP Cipto Mangunkusumo (RSCM) Jakarta. Data were obtained from the medical records of all diabetic retinopathy patients with macular edema who were treated with IVB at RSCM Kirana Vitreoretina Polyclinic on January – December 2017. Results: Of the 44 subjects, improvement in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) occurred in 24 (54.54%) subjects at the first-month evaluation and 19 (43.18%) subjects at the third-month evaluation. CMT decreased in 37 (84.41%) subjects at the first-month evaluation and 35 (81.81%) subjects at the third-month evaluation. Conclusion: Visual acuity improvement and central macular thickness reduction 3 months after IVB injection. These results strengthen IVB injection to be an alternative to adjuvant therapy in DME.

Abstract

Introduction: Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) manifests as neurosensory detachment of the macula and observation has been considered as an appropriate first-line approach. Active treatment is required to prevent recurrences or chronic type. This study aim to evaluate the effectiveness of intravitreal ranibizumab injection (IVRI) for acute CSC. Methods: A single-center retrospective descriptive study. Five files of the patients who had the diagnosis of CSC then treated with IVRI between 2018 and 2019 have been investigated. IVRI were given once every 4 weeks until sub-retinal fluid resolved. Demographic details, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and central macular thickness (CMT) were studied before and after treatment. Results: The mean age of the patients was 57 years (SD= 10.5 years) mostly female (3 patients). The mean duration before treatment was 3.8 weeks (SD= 1.4 weeks). The mean number of IVRI was 1.4 (SD= 0.5). The mean CMT before IVRI was 436.4 μm (SD= 109.1) and decreased to 243 μm (SD= 38.3) at the last visit. The mean BCVA before IVRI was 0.56 logMAR (SD= 0.37) and improved to 0.22 logMAR (SD= 0.29) Conclusion: IVRI appeared to be effective treatment for acute CSC. The mean CMT decreased and BCVA improved after therapy.

Abstract

Introduction: To analyze whether the choriocapillaries undergo degenerative changes with age and disease. Corrosion casts of choroidal vessels in human donors were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to understand the vasculature changes with age.Method: The patterns of blood vessels, vortex veins, ciliary arteries placements, capillaries placement from centre to periphery in different quadrants and regions of choroid were evaluated in twenty donor normal tissues aged from 20-90 years. Nine donors had diabetic donor tissues were evaluated in which different quadrants with laser marks and loss of blood vessels were quantified along with, six donors with signs of age-related macular degeneration were evaluated using a light stereoscopic dissection microscope. Six human donors were investigated by SEM of which two tissues were normal, two had diabetic retinopathy and two presented with age related macular degeneration changes. Result: The quantitative evaluation revealed that in normal to diseased there is a decrease of the blood vessel density in comparison to the total area of the choroid. There was also slight decrease from to centre to periphery in the % area of the blood vessel placement. Morphological identification noted was a greater number of vortex veins were noted in inferior end than the superior end. There was prominent loss of blood vessel bed was noted beneath the lasered areas in diabetic retinopathy tissues. Conclusion: Loss of % area of blood vessel density was directly correlating with the progression of age and in diabetic retinopathy diseased tissues we noted prominent loss of blood vessels underneath the laser treated areas. In age related macular degeneration, loss of blood vessels was prominent in different quadrants with age too.

Abstract

Introduction: ERM is a cellular proliferation on the inner retinal surface and possesses contractile properties which leads to variable visual symptoms. Method: Thirty-four patients affected with epiretinal membrane were enrolled in this study. All patients underwent standard three port pars plana vitrectomy using standard 23-gauge instruments. Both ERM and ILM peels were performed in a circumferential pattern around the fovea. Patients were followed for 6 months. The visual outcome measures included postoperative logMAR visual acuity. The anatomical outcome was measured as decrease in foveal thickness on spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Perioperative factors including duration of symptoms, preoperative visual acuity, etiology, membrane type and leakage on fundus fluorescein angiogram were correlated with the final visual outcomes. Results: The mean age of the patients in this study was 60.25 17.5 years with a range of 16 to 80 years. 19 patients (56%) were males. 33 patients had a unilateral ERM and 1 patient had an ERM in both eyes. Diminution of vision was the most common symptom in 34 patients, distortion of vision (metamorphopsia) was seen in 20 (58.8%) patients. The mean pre-operative log MAR best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 1.4±0.77 and the mean post-operative log MAR best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.9 ±0.63. Out of 34 patients in our study, 31 (91.2%) had improvement in VA, and the remaining 3 (8.82%) patients had no improvement and none of the patients had decreased vision. 16 patients had ≥2 lines of improvement in visual acuity. 15 patients had less than 2 lines of improvement. Conclusion: ERMs pose a significant risk to compromise the vision and affect varied age groups. ERM removal through standard three port pars plana vitrectomy offers an effective and safe procedure with better post operative visual outcomes.

Abstract

Introduction: Chorioretinal coloboma (CRC) results from abnormal closure of the embryonic fissure. Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is a rare complication that associated with coloboma of the choroid. VEGF is an important factor in the development of CNV. Case Report: A 52-year-old woman with gradual blurred vision of the left eye since 4 months ago. Right eye was already blurred since she was a child with uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) was 0.5/60. Her right iris showed coloboma in inferior and chorioretinal coloboma. UCVA of the left eye was 6/20. Her left iris showed inferior coloboma, chorioretinal coloboma and macular edema with soft drusen. Macular optical coherence tomography (OCT) confirmed macular subretinal fluid, and indicated a CNV lesion of the left eye. She underwent a loading dose of three monthly intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) injections (bevacizumab) for the left eye. One month after completion of treatment, UCVA of the left eye improved to 6/12. Discussion: CNV is a complication associated with CRC. Intravitreal Anti-VEGF treatment using loading dose regimen is shown to be effective in treating CNV. One month after completion of treatment, UCVA of the left eye improved. Conclusion: Chorioretinal coloboma is a rare posterior segment congenital anomaly. Classical, bilateral coloboma of the choroid and iris indicates a deformation of the choroidal fissure closure. Coloboma of the choroid can have a complication such as choroidal neovascularization. Treatment with a loading dose of three monthly intravitreal anti-VEGF injections showed good anatomical and functional results.

Abstract

Introduction: Numerous studies have shown inconclusive results regarding ideal parameter for oxygen supplementation to balance the risk of mortality and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) development. The purpose of this study is to compare mean partial oxygen tension (PaO2) level in ROP. Methods: This retrospective study was performed on premature infants undergoing ROP screening at our neonatal intensive care unit during 2021. All infants born at our hospital at ≤ 30 weeks, birth weight (BW) ≤ 1500 grams, or high-risk infants with prolonged ventilation were included. ROP screening was performed at chronological age four to six weeks, were followed and managed according to the severity. ROP severity was categorized by International Classification of ROP 3rd edition (ICROP3). We reviewed the characteristics of each group and compared mean PaO2 level in day 1, day 5, and day 10 between incomplete vascularization (IV) group, stage of acute disease (SAD) group, and Aggressive ROP (A-ROP) group. Result: We investigated 124 eyes from 62 eligible PI. The incidence of IV, stage 1, stage 2, stage 3, and A-ROP were 58.9%, 2.4%, 7.3%, 23.4%, and 8.1%, respectively. Mean PaO2 level in day 5 was higher in SAD group compared to IV group (p=0.002). For each level increase in PaO2, there was 1.042 times higher odds of developing SAD (p=0.004). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed consistent results, simultaneously, each week increase in GA was associated with lower risk of SAD development (p=0.018) and each level increase in PaO2 was associated with higher risk for SAD development (p=0.005). Conclusion: A single elevation in PaO2 during early life of PI increases the risk of developing stage of acute disease ROP, particularly in younger infants. Careful monitoring for PaO2 is mandatory to prevent development of ROP.
