Abstract

Abstract Introduction : Peripheral ulcerative keratitis (PUK) is a rare, but severe sight-threatening inflammatory condition that affects the cornea. PUK is characterized by peripheral corneal ulceration, stromal thinning, and neovascularization that can lead to corneal perforation and vision loss. Although PUK can occur in individuals without underlying systemic disease, it is most commonly associated with autoimmune disorders. Case Illustration : A 53-year-old woman presented to the ophthalmology clinic with complaints of redness, foreign body sensation, and blurred vision in her both eye for the past three days. On examination, slit-lamp biomicroscopy revealed a peripheral corneal ulcer. She had a history of rheumatoid arthritis for the past 2 months and was being treated with methotrexate and metylprednisolone. Laboratory investigations revealed elevated Anti-CCP IgG, which confirmed the presence of rheumatoid arthritis. Discussion : PUK is most commonly associated with autoimmune disorders, particularly rheumatoid arthritis, but may also occur in individuals with infectious, degenerative or traumatic corneal injuries. Immune- mediated inflammation, complement activation, and tissue destruction are thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of PUK. The diagnosis of PUK requires a thorough ophthalmic examination, including slit-lamp biomicroscopy, and laboratory investigations for underlying autoimmune disorders. Conclusion : PUK is a rare but serious ocular disease that requires prompt diagnosis and management to prevent severe complications such as corneal perforation and vision loss. Although PUK can occur in individuals without underlying systemic disease, it is most commonly associated with autoimmune disorders, particularly rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction : Pterygium is a wing shaped fibrovascular growth that extends from the conjunctiva onto the cornea. There are many techniques available for pterygium removal, from simple excision to excision and repair of the defect with modified techniques. Case Illustration : 1. A 50-year-old woman presented with a grade II pterygium in both of her eyes. She was undergone sliding flap pterygium excision for her right eye. Case 2. A 32-year-old man presented with a grade II pterygium in his left eye. He was then undergone rotational flap pterygium excision for his left eye. Case 3 A-55-year-old woman presented with a grade II-III double head pterygium. She was later undergone modified conjunctival autograft double head pterygium excision for his left eye. Discussion : Surgical management is the gold standard for pterygium treatment. Indications for pterygium excision include decreased visual acuity due to astigmatism, obstruction of visual axis, repeated irritation and cosmetics. Surgical techniques for excision of the pterygium include bare sclera excision, tissue grafting using conjunctival graft, membrane transplantation amnion and limbal- conjunctival autograft. There are several choices of conjunctival graft techniques after pterygium excision, such as conjunctival sliding flap, conjunctival rotational flap, and modified conjunctival autograft. Modified conjunctival autograft technique was performed for double head pterygium management. The technique consisting of horizontally modified conjunctival autograft and vertically modified conjunctival autograft. Conclusion : The choices of surgical excision techniques for pterygium depends on the grades of the pterygium and operator’s preference.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction : Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is a broad category of syndromes that includes several types of acute immune-mediated polyneuropathy. Miller Fisher Syndrome (MFS) is a scarce variant of GBS (1-2:1,000,000) that presents at least 2 of ataxia, areflexia, and ophthalmoplegia. Case Illustration : A 32 years-old-man came to JEC-Candi with ophthalmic discomfort and exhibited a week onset of total ophthalmoplegia, ptosis, diplopia, and lagophthalmos. Two weeks backward, the patient had a respiratory infection then emerged symmetrical sensory abnormalities (glove-and-stocking-type pinprick sensations in distal extremities). Neurological examinations were performed, and the patient got multiple cranial nerve weaknesses (oculomotor, trochlear, abducens, trigeminal, and facial) both in motoric and sensory, ataxia (positive Romberg sign, stepping test, gait, shallow-knee- bend), and negative pathologic reflexes. Hematology showed leukocytosis, MRI and CT-Scan were normal. Pulse therapy was given (Methylprednisolone 1g/day) for three days, neuroprotector and artificial tears added. Ataxia and diplopia improved, then the patient was referred to Kariadi Hospital for five-times plasmapheresis that involved neurologist and internist. Ophthalmoplegia improved slowly, and lagophthalmos disappeared one month after hospital admission. Discussion : GBS subvariant could overlap; this case presents bifacial weakness with paresthesia and MFS. Viral infection precedes neurological symptoms in most cases, with an average of 10 days of the incubation period. Ataxia, diplopia, and ophthalmoplegia may confuse the physician and presume an upper motor neuron sign or central cause. Steroid and plasmapheresis evince meaningful upturn. Conclusion : This rare disease requires a multidisciplinary approach to cure and diagnose. Nonetheless, MFS has a good prognosis. Appropriate treatment selection will enhance patients' quality of life.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction : Perioperative posterior ischemic optic neuropathy (PION) following maxillectomy is a rare and devastating condition that leads to permanent vision loss in most reported cases. This case report offers a different perspective through long-term follow-up, providing valuable insights into the prognosis and potential treatments for PION. Case Illustration : Following a left maxillectomy for ameloblastoma, a 28-year-old female experienced sudden vision loss in her left eye. The visual acuity was 5/60, and an altitudinal inferior visual field defect with a superior extension was present. Ishihara's color vision examination revealed 15/38. The patient was diagnosed with perioperative PION and treated with neurotropic and folic acid. After 16 months, optic atrophy was observed. However, there are complete recovery in visual acuity to 5/5 and Ishihara score to 38/38, along with a significant improvement in the visual field defect. Discussion : The current management of perioperative PION is focused on prevention, because once vision loss occurs, it is usually severe and irreversible. In our case, the patient exhibited a favorable outcome after a long follow-up period, suggesting that there is still potential for improvement in PION patients. The finding is consistent with previous study, which reported that a small percentage of patients may still experience improved vision during follow-up. The role of neurotropics in improving patient outcomes is further supported by in vitro studies that demonstrate early neurotropic treatment significantly prevents loss of retinal ganglion cells in PION. Conclusion : Visual improvement is still possible in perioperative PION and early neurotropic administration may be considered in therapy

Abstract

Abstract Introduction : Terson's syndrome is often associated with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Other reported causes, include trauma, tumors, hypertension, perioperative and postoperative intracranial hemorrhage, or increased intracranial pressure. This case demonstrates a unique pathogenesis of Terson's syndrome. Case Illustration : A 14-year-old boy presented with the blurred vision on both eyes 3 weeks ago, accompanied with nausea, vomiting, and headache, with normal blood pressure measurement (126/80mmHg). He also had a history of head injury. His visual acuity was 6/20 uncorrected with pinhole on both eyes. Both intraocular pressures within normal limits. The anterior segment showed bilateral mid-dilated reactive pupil. Funduscopy revealed bilateral papilledema with peripapillary hemorrhage, similar to retinal vein occlusion, which is suggestive with Terson’s Syndrome. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan showed an ependymoma mass. We consulted this case with Pediatric Neurosurgeon, who planned for ventriculoperitoneal shunt with craniotomy tumor removal. Discussion : Terson's syndrome now defined as any intraocular hemorrhage associated with intracranial hemorrhage or elevated intracranial pressures. In this case, the etiology was thought to be increased intracranial pressure, which may be caused by ependymoma. Ependymoma is one of the most common central nervous system tumors in children. Intraocular hemorrhage in Terson’s syndrome is often self-limiting, but ependymoma needs neurosurgical intervention, which has lower survival rates for children with posterior fossa tumors. Conclusion : There are still controversies regarding the pathogenesis of Terson's syndrome. Not the occlusion, but the compression of the central retinal vein, by the increased pressure of cerebrospinal fluid due to high intracranial pressure, which increases the retinal venous pressure and causes retinal hemorrhage.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction : Chiari malformation is characterized by herniation of posterior cerebellar vermis in which type 1 malformation has coexisting syringomyelia of cervicothoracic spinal cord. This malformation can be congenital or acquired, in which gaze-evoked nystagmus is the typical movement deficit. This case aimed to report a case of vertical gaze-evoked nystagmus as a primary symptom to detect Type I Chiari Malformation. Case Illustration : A 44-year-old woman presented with involuntary movements of both eyes in the last 5 months with vision problems in which objects appear to jump or vibrate. Visual acuity was 20/50 in both eyes with 12 prism diopters BI exotropia. We recognized vertical and torsional nystagmus in upgaze without any movement in primary gaze. While performing supraduction, the oscillation was detected and increased. Brain MRI revealed Type I Chiari Malformation. Discussion : Nystagmus was seen in many diseases of the central nervous system, in particular those affecting the brainstem and cerebellum. Vertical gaze evoked nystagmus was a disorder of the gaze holding function, purely vertical gaze-evoked nystagmus is observed in midbrain lesions involving the interstitial nucleus of Cajal (INC) as the neural integrator for vertical gaze-holding function. Based on this pathophysiology, the Brain MRI of this patient revealed some degrees of compression in midbrain, and cervico medullary junction due to her brain malformation. Conclusion : A sustained gaze-evoked nystagmus is an important ocular finding that may indicate serious neurologic pathology. It is important for an eye care provider to thoroughly examine additional tests to determine the underlying cause of the nystagmus.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction : Kearns-Sayre syndrome (KSS) is a rare genetic disorder caused by a deletion of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) segment, typically characterized by a triad of symptoms includes external ophthalmoplegia, pigmentary retinopathy and appeared before the age of 20. The prevalence rate is about 1–3 per 100.000 individuals. It was diagnosed based on clinical features and supported by biochemical, radiological, histologic, and molecular genetic tests. Case Illustration : 26-year-old male with bilateral ptosis, chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia, pigmentary retinopathy was shown from ophthalmology examination and associated with hearing loss. Physical examination showed short stature, wasting, and weakness of limb muscles. MRI examination revealed focal brain atrophy on bilateral parietal regions. Discussion : Mitochondrial DNA defect led to dysfunction of the central nervous system, endocrine system, extraocular muscle, myocardium, skeletal muscle, and other multiple systems. The clinical findings in this patient are appropriate for classical signs and symptoms of KSS. Central nervous involvementis shown by the neuroimaging result. There is no cardiac involvement suggested by normal cardiology examination. Although muscle pathology and molecular genetic analysis can play a great role to diagnose KSS, the classical triad of clinical signs plus one of the other symptoms could establish KSS diagnosis. Conclusion : KSS is a rare genetic disorder and challenging to diagnose. However, if a patient presents with the classic triad of symptoms, clinicians should have a high level of suspicion for the disorder. Additionally, It is important to perform a thorough evaluation to rule out other conditions that can cause similar symptoms.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction : Papilledema is edema of optic disc due to raised intracranial pressure (ICP). Papilledema threatens both life and vision, therefore workup for the etiology of raised ICP is needed, including neuroimaging. Intracranial tumors cause increased ICP leads to papilledema. This case report caseof bilateral chronic papilledema as manifestation of space occupying lesion (SOL). Case Illustration : A 36 years old female presented with blurry black vision on the both eyes since 3 months ago. Complaints were felt suddenly with dominance on the left eye and accompanied with headache. Patient with 12 times history of motorcycle accidents without using helmet in the last 2 years. Funduscopy shows bilateral papilledema. MRI shows orbital within normal limit and solid lobulated mass extra-axial impression in the left posterior parietal region pressing on the left parietooccipital lobe with perifocal edema that obliterates the left lateral ventricle and results in a midline shift to the right. Neurosurgeon had planned for elective craniotomy tumor removal. Discussion : Increase in the total amount of intracranial tissue by SOL as underlying mechanism of raised ICP. SOL often causes intracranial hemorrhage, which frequently leads to papilledema. High ICP also produces a rise in CSF pressure surrounding the optic nerves leading to axoplasmic flow stasis, causing visual loss. High ICP due to SOL is typically treated surgically. Conclusion : This case explain that raised ICP caused by SOL leading to manifestation of papilledema.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction : Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO) or neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system that causes demyelination of the optic nerve and spinal cord. Approximately 75% of cases have antibodies against aquaporin 4 (AQP-4 Antibody). Case Illustration : A 42 years old male presented with progressing blurred vision in his right eye for 3 weeks. He described there was a black spot in his central vision which gradually enlarged to his peripheral vision, headache for 4 months, and transient tingling sensation and weakness on the left arm for 1 week. Positive RAPD in the right eye and signs of optic neuritis on funduscopy in Opthalmology examination. Campimetry examination revealed generalized depression in the right eye. The visual evoked potential (VEP) was consistent with right optic nerve demyelination. Spine MRI showed extensive transverse myelitis lesions >3 spinal cord hyperintensity on the level of C2-C6. However, the serum AQP-4 antibody was negative. The patient was treated with corticosteroid, and neuroprotector and was also being treated alongside the neurology department. Discussion : NMO is a rare autoimmune disease. NMO is characterized by segmented demyelination and inflammation of the spinal cord and the optic nerves which gives many ocular signs and symptoms like optic neuritis. A negative test result does not rule out the diagnosis of NMO. Brain and spine MRI plays an important role in diagnosing NMO. Treatment of NMO consists of corticosteroid and plasmapheresis or intravenous immunoglobulin. Conclusion : This case describes a diagnosis of NMO with a Negative AQP-4 antibody.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction : Homonymous hemianopsia is a visual field defect characterized by loss of half of the visual field in each eye. Cerebral infarction in the occipital lobe is the most common cause of homonymous hemianopsia. Sudden visual field loss should be considered as a cerebral infarction for prompt management. Case Illustration : Male 43 years old, vision in both eyes appears dark on the left side since 3 months ago, complaints occur suddenly. Patients with a history of hypertension (+) hypercholesterolemia (+). Ophthalmological examination revealed visual acuity in both eyes 6/6 with normal pupillary reflexesand normal fundoscopy in both eyes. Humphrey's visual field perimetry test showed left homonymous hemianopsia. A brain CT scan examination showed multiple cerebral infarctions in the right occipital lobe, cerebellum and basal ganglia bilaterally. The patient was referred to the neurology department for further treatment. Discussion : The visual field defect pattern is used to predict the location of the lesion in the visual pathway. Neurologic symptoms that may be present in occipital lobe lesions are migraine with aura and visual hallucinations. The patient had left homonymous hemianopsia where the results of brain CT scan showed multiple cerebral infarctions in the right occipital lobe. Conclusion : Manifestations of homonymous hemianopsia can predict the presence of cerebral infarction so that in the presence of visual field defects it can be used as a predictor of intracranial abnormalities for further evaluation and collaboration with the neurology department.
