Abstract

Congenital cataract is the leading cause of vision loss in newborns and children, and it is caused by an opacity of the eye's lens that occurs at birth or within the first few months of life. Congenital cataracts may develop as unilateral or bilateral. Around 50% of cases of it are considered as idiopathic. A 4-month-old boy was brought by his parents to the Department of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus in RSUD dr. Zainoel Abidin Banda Aceh with a chief complaint of a white spot on the patient’s right eye. The spot had appeared since birth and became more visible when he was 2 months old. The patient's overall condition was good. Both eyes' visual acuity was blink reflex. The ocular pressure in both eyes was normal. An ophthalmologic examination revealed a fully clouded right eye lens and aphakia in the left eye. The patient had undergone cataract surgery on his left eye on September 6th, 2023. He was diagnosed with Congenital Cataract Oculus Dexter (OD) and Aphakia Oculus Sinister (OS) before surgery. The patient underwent right eye cataract surgery with aspiration irrigation (AI), Primary Posterior Capsulotomy (PPC), and Anterior Vitrectomy (AV) without Intraocular Lens (IOL) implantation within the next two weeks.  Following the surgery, the patient's visual function improved to fix and follow the object, the pupils looked round in both eyes, aphakia, and no membrane development. The patient was prescribed glasses for optical rehabilitation.

Abstract

Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is the predominant bacterial meningitis form in children under 13, with an incidence of 8.6 per 100,000 before age 15. Tuberculous Hydrocephalus (TH), often presenting with hydrocephalus, poses a significant challenge in Indonesia for both children and adults. The commonly used Ventriculo-peritoneal (VP)-shunt procedure for TH, though prevalent, is associated with multiple complications. As an alternative, the Ventriculo-atrial (VA)-shunt procedure has been explored, but reports on its use in TH in Indonesia are lacking. This case report details a 1-year-old girl with TH who initially underwent a VP-shunt procedure, which proved unsuccessful. Subsequently, the VA-shunt procedure was employed, leading to a complete recovery. Our findings contribute valuable insights into the potential effectiveness of the VA-shunt as an alternative intervention for TH, especially in the Indonesian medical landscape.

Abstract

Psoriasis is an immunological inflammatory disease characterized by skin inflammation and epidermal hyperplasia. One type of psoriasis is Generalized Pustular Psoriasis (GPP), which is usually preceded by other diseases. A 56-year-old woman presented to the Department of Dermatology and Venereology with a recent onset of red spots accompanied by pustules distributed across her body. The initial manifestation of these symptoms occurred approximately one month prior, and the condition has progressively worsened over the past three days. Physical examination of dermatological status showed erythematous plaques with smooth, well-defined scales with irregular, round edges, lenticular size, multiple, discrete, and confluent distribution, generalized distribution in the pedis dextra et sinistra, manus dextra et sinistra, and femoral regions. Skin biopsy examination results showed skin tissue with hyperkeratosis, acanthosis, and parakeratosis, with PMN inflammatory cells (Munro's micro abscess). The conclusion of the skin biopsy is pustular psoriasis. The patient was diagnosed with GPP. Patients were given Methotrexate, calcitriol tablets 0.25 mcg twice a day, cetirizine tablets 10 mg twice a day, and topical cream. After one week of treatment, the patient's lesions improved. Treatment continues, and patients are given education to avoid trigger factors such as stress, excessive activity, extreme temperature changes, and focal infections. The management must consider various influencing factors, including genetic factors, skin barriers, predisposing factors, and trigger factors. Prevention is also important. The patient needs to be educated about the details of the disease, how to prevent a recurrence, and treatment when the disease recurs.

Abstract

Syphilis, a sexually transmitted disease caused by Treponema pallidum, poses a significant global health threat, with an annual incidence of around 12 million cases, predominantly affecting individuals aged 15-49. Reinfection occurs in 11 out of 120 patients, underscoring the importance of effective management. If untreated, 4-9% of cases may progress to early neurosyphilis, often presenting asymptomatically. We present the case of a 22-year-old male with reddish-brown patches on the face, palms, and soles, along with erythematous papules on the genital region, following a history of recent promiscuity. Physical examination revealed distinctive manifestations, including nickels and dimes on the face, syphilitic roseola, Biett's collarette on the palmoplantar region, and erythematous papules-plaques on the scrotal and penile areas. The VDRL test indicated a titer of 1:32, TPHA test >1:5120, and a non-reactive HIV rapid test. Initiating treatment with a single intramuscular injection of benzyl benzathine penicillin G (2.4 million IU) resulted in successful symptom resolution, accompanied by a four-fold decrease in VDRL titer to 1:8 by the third month. However, a subsequent increase to 1:32, following sexual intercourse in the sixth month, indicated reinfection and raised suspicions of asymptomatic neurosyphilis. The patient received oral doxycycline (100 mg twice daily) for 30 days. Unfortunately, treatment success could not be determined as the patient was lost to follow-up. This case report highlights that elevated VDRL titers signify reinfection, treatment failure, or neurosyphilis. Asymptomatic reinfection is common due to lead-time bias and partial immunity, especially with multiple episodes of syphilis. Early neurosyphilis may coexist with primary or secondary syphilis and is frequently asymptomatic. Continued efforts in monitoring and treatment adherence are crucial for effective syphilis management on a global scale.

Abstract

Congenital cataract is an eye disorder in the form of impaired lens transparency due to cloudiness that appears at birth or immediately after birth. Post-congenital cataract surgery requires regular monitoring to prevent complications that can reduce visual function. Therefore, this case report aims to describe the incidence of secondary glaucoma in patients with aphakia after congenital cataract surgery with uncontrolled post-operative monitoring regularly. A 4-year-old boy patient was brought by his parents with complaints of reappearance of white spots in the left eye which had become increasingly widespread in the last 2-3 months. Complaints accompanied by a feeling of glare in bright places. The patient's parents said the patient could not focus on seeing objects around him. The patient had a history of congenital cataract surgery in both eyes 2 years ago and did not have routine follow-up after cataract surgery. Congenital cataract is a lens clouding that can occur unilaterally or bilaterally when the child is born or immediately after birth. If monitoring is not carried out routinely, the most common condition that occurs in aphakic after congenital cataract surgery is secondary glaucoma. Regular monitoring after congenital cataract surgery is necessary to achieve successful management and prevent complications.
