Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction: to report a case of bilateral leukemic retinopathy due to leukostasis that was successfully managed by leukapheresis. Case Presentation: 31-year-old male with mild visual disturbance was referred to ophthalmology department. He suffered from Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) with white blood cell (WBC) count 533.900/microL. He was started on hydroxyurea, allopurinol, and once leukapheresis. Ophthalmologic evaluation revealed visual acuity of 4/4 in the right eye and 4/6,3 in the left eye. Funduscopy examination showed the presence of bilateral papilledema, venous engorgement, tortuosity, and retinal hemorrhages. Then this patient continued with second leukapheresis. Result: Visual acuity, laboratory examination, and funduscopic finding was evaluated. His visual acuity was improved, papilledema and retinal blood vessels abnormality had markedly reduced concurring with the patient’s hematological remission. Decreasing WBC count after leukapheresis has improved blood flow that reflected from the retinal findings and visual acuity improvement. Conclusion: Leukapheresis treatment is sufficient to improved clinical condition for leukemic retinopathy caused by CML with leukostasis. Keywords: chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), hyperleukocytosis, leukostasis, leukemic retinopathy

Abstract

Introduction: Lupus retinopathy and posterior uveitis are complications due to systemic lupus erythematosus which can threaten the vision. The presence of posterior segment manifestation is suggestive of high disease activity. The aim of this study is to identify posterior segment manifestation (Lupus Retinopathy and Posterior Uveitis) in SLE patient and their correlation with SLE disease activity using The Mexican-SLEDAI (MEX-SLEDAI) score. Methods: This was an analytical observational study with cross-sectional design, conducted from August to October 2020 and involved 114 SLE patients in Dr. Saiful Anwar General Hospital. We calculated MEX-SLEDAI score to assess SLE disease activity. All participant that met inclusion criteria underwent ophthalmology examinations using a portable slit-lamp, head indirect ophthalmoscope, and fundus finding were documented using portable fundus imaging. Result: Lupus retinopathy (LR) presents in 25/114 (21.9%) and posterior uveitis (PU) occurs in 2/114 (1.8%) SLE patients. The mean age of patient with LR, PU, and without retinopathy were 32.92; 37.00; and 31.08 years respectively. The posterior segment findings were hemorrhages, cotton wool spots, hard exudates, and vasculitis reflecting vascular damage. The most common manifestation found in retina was cotton wool spot. The mean of MEX-SLEDAI score of SLE patient with LR (7.200 ± 3.905) and SLE patient with PU (3.500 ± 2.121) was higher than the mean of SLE patient without LR and PU (2.871 ± 2.534). There was a significant association between LR and MEX-SLEDAI score (p=0.000). An insignificant association between PU and MEX-SLEDAI score was found (p=0.353) Conclusion There is a significance correlation between lupus retinopathy and SLE disease activity based on MEX-SLEDAI scores. The mean of MEX-SLEDAI score in SLE patients with lupus retinopathy was higher than SLE with posterior uvetis and SLE without posterior segment manifestations.

Abstract

Introduction : Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) stills the leading cause of blindness in developing countries for age 50 and above, increasing along higher life expectations.Anti- VEGF is the mainstay management for exudative AMD and able to reduce the central retinal thickness (CRT) and to increase the visual outcome. The aim of this study is to correlate between CRT and visual outcome in exudative AMD post intravitreal ranibizumab injection loading doses in Soetomo general academic hospital, Surabaya Methods : This was a retrospective, cross sectional study. Fourty two eyes who met inclusion criterias were received monthly loading doses of 0.5 mg Ranibizumab intravitreal injection for three consequtives months. Baseline visual acuity (BCVA) was measured with Snellen Chart converted to LogMAR, CRT was measured by SD-OCT. Parameters was measured before the first injection and after completed three months injections. Result : Fourty two eyes were composed by 59.5% male and 40.5% female with higher incidence in 61-70 years old (47.6%). Mean BCVA were 0.831 before and 0.624 after injection of serial Ranibizumab. Mean CRT were 346.9 and 254.2 µm before and after injection respectively. There was significant comparison between CRT and BCVA (p=0.00) & no correlation between CRT and BCVA before and after injection of Ranibizumab loading doses (p=0.418 & p=0.275) Conclusion : There were no correlation statistically between CRT and BCVA before and after injection of loading doses Ranibizumab intravitreal in exudative AMD. Further studies may be needed to prove the etiology of this tendencies.

Abstract

Introduction: To highlight the therapeutic dilemma in managing complications in high myopia patient with complicated cataract after vitrectomy who previously had refractive surgery. Case Report: A 37-years old man, presented with half the right eye view was being blocked by a black curtain for one week before admission. He had a history of high myopia on both eyes and underwent phakic intraocular lens (PIOL) implantation 12 years ago. Presenting visual acuity (VA) of the right eye was hand motion (HM). Retinal detachment (RD) on inferior side, and clear lens with anterior chamber (AC) PIOL were found in the examination. Patient underwent vitrectomy, endolaser, and silicone oil in the next four days. A sudden severe pain with red-eye was found one month after surgery, intraocular pressure (IOP) was increased to 43 mmHg, the lens was white opaque with lens material seen in AC. Discussion: The diagnosis of traumatic cataract and lens-particle-induced glaucoma was made. Lens mass evacuation surgery was performed after initial antiglaucoma medication. Posterior capsule rupture was found intraoperatively with only a small amount of lens mass remaining. Visual acuity result after the second surgery is still dissatisfied with the presence of rubeosis iridis, with the possibility of retinal re-detachment was still present. Conclusion: High myopia still poses a greater risk of ocular complications. It can be corrected by refractive surgery, with expensive cost and it will not prevent potential future ocular problems. Repeated assessment before and after refractive surgery procedure is mandatory in order to prevent sight-threatening complications of high myopia which might lead to other blinding complications.

Abstract

Introduction: To study the ocular changes in patients on long term treatment with Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ); and detect means for early detection of toxicity.Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional observational study at a tertiary care hospital, in which 100 patients, male and female, aged 35 years or more, taking HCQ for 5 years or more were included. Patients with any known ocular or systemic diseases were not included. Indication, dosage, duration and cumulative dose of HCQ intake were recorded. History of ocular symptoms, visual acuity, colour vision, complete ophthalmic examination, visual field using Amsler grid and 10-2 Humphrey’s automated fields (HVF), Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT), colour fundus photography, fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and fundus autofluorescence (FAF) were recorded. The data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential analysis.Result: 15% of the study population showed signs of HCQ related ocular toxicity. 17%, 21% and 10% patients had abnormal SD-OCT, HVF and FAF findings respectively.Conclusion: HCQ related ocular toxicity has been found in patients in the absence of symptoms. Objective tests like HVF, SD- OCT and FAF were more useful in early detection of toxicity than subjective tests such as Amsler grid, colour vision and FFA.

Abstract

Introduction: The purpose of this study is to identify the pattern and distribution of vitreoretinal (VR) diseases in Bali Mandara Eye Hospital Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was conducted for this study. We reviewed all medical records of new patient diagnosed with VR diseases, from 1 January to 31 December 2019. We recorded and measured demography, history of systemic and eye disease, symptoms and onset, ophthalmic examinations, diagnostic investigations, final diagnoses, therapies, and the completion of the visit. Results: Out of 2118 total visits, we found 1191 new cases with VR diagnosis. The male to female ratio was 1.3:1. We found a group of 46-65 years is represented in 678 cases (56.9%). Type 2 diabetes mellitus was the most commonly found as a systemic disease (15.5%), followed by the combination of diabetes and hypertension (14%) and hypertension alone (12.9%). History of previous cataract surgery was found in 174 cases (14.6%). Out of 1191 patients, 553 patients (46.4%) were blind. The most common diagnosis was diabetic retinopathy (19.7%), followed by rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (10.8%), and vitreous opacity (9.9%). Diabetic retinopathy affected both eyes in 302 cases (89.6%), while rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and vitreous opacity commonly affected one eye in 177 cases (95%) and 123 cases (73%), respectively. Proliferative diabetic retinopathy was found in 171 cases (50.7%). Conclusions: Diabetic retinopathy and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were the most two common diagnoses. The proliferative type was slightly common than Non-Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy. As diabetes and hypertension were the most systemic conditions we found, a collaboration with another department is needed to create a strategic screening system and early detection. An evaluation related to rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is needed to decrease the number of cases.
