Abstract

Abstract Introduction : Carotid cavernous fistula (CCF) is an abnormal communication between the cavernous sinus and the carotid arterial system, most commonly due to head trauma from a basal skull fracture creating a tear in the internal carotid artery (ICA) within the cavernous sinus. Case Illustration : A 15 years old girl presented with orbital pain, swelling, swishing or buzzing sounds, headache, and vision loss. Five months ago, she had a history of traumatic injury and undergone craniotomy. From physical examination Orbital ultrasound presence with dilated superior ophthalmic vein, which appears as a hollow tubular structure with no internal echo. MRI scan show a mass suggestive carotid cavernosus fistula dextra. DSA result confirmed the diagnose as direct carotid cavernosus fistula dextra as communication between internal carotid artery and sinus cavernosus. The patient was treated with neuroprotective along medication followed by endovascular treatment from the neurointervention department. Discussion : The classic triad of CCF includes pulsatile exophthalmos, chemosis and orbital bruit. Ophthalmic manifestations of CCFs vary widely depending on underlying aetiology, type, size, location, blood flow rate and drainage route of the CCF. Patient initially undergo noninvasive imaging with orbital ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Digital subtraction angiography is the gold standard in the diagnosis of CCF and must be performed before any potential intervention. Conclusion : This case describes a patient who was diagnose with direct carotid cavernous fistula of the right eye.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction : Breast cancer can metastasize to many sites, but the orbit is an infrequent location. Orbital metastases represent 1%–13% of all orbital tumors, and the prognosis is rather poor. We reported a case of orbital metastases of breast cancer that led to findings of other sites involvement. Case Illustration : A 50-year-old female presented with an inward squint and double vision for 9 months before admission. Esotropia, abduction, and elevation deficits in both eyes were observed. The visual acuity of both eyes was 6/6. Orbital MRI revealed an intraconal irregular lesion near the medial rectus muscle, which was hyperintense with contrast and thickened medial rectus muscles of both eyes. She underwent lumpectomy of breast mass two years before admission and no follow-up after surgery. Histopathology showed invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC). We referred her to hematologist- oncologist to have workup on metastases and treatment. Lung and extensive bone metastases were discovered. She was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer (stage IV) and treated with hormonal therapy and bisphosphonates. On 3-month follow-up, diplopia and gaze limitations persist. Discussion : Diplopia and motility disturbances are the most common symptoms and signs of orbital metastases, including extraocular muscle involvement. The horizontal rectus muscles are more commonly involved. ILC is more frequent histological subtype involving orbital as the orbits are rich in fat and may attract disseminated ILC cells. Conclusion : Ocular symptoms in patients with a history of breast cancer should always be investigated for metastatic disease. A multidisciplinary approach is mandatory to achieve the best therapeutic management and long-term surveillance.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction : Herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO) refers to a reactivated varicella-zoster virus involving the V1 nerve division. Although rare, previous reports have mentioned HZO cases masquerading as orbital cellulitis (HZO-OC). This report depicts the use of acyclovir, corticosteroids and citicoline in our HZO-OC patient with treatment delay. Case Illustration : A healthy 66 year old man presented to our clinic 4 weeks after signs of orbital cellulitis followed by vesicular rash following the CN V(1) dermatome were felt which was untreated. The right palpebra was edematous and erythematous. Hazy cornea, mixed injection, grade IV reverse RAPD, diminished direct and consensual reflex and external ophthalmoplegia of the right eye were noted. The diagnosis of HZO-OC with multiple cranial neuropathies OD was established. Topical and symptomatic treatment were given resulting no improvement. Ptosis of the right palpebra became present. The patient was then given systemic acyclovir, methylprednisolone and citicoline. Ophthalmoplegia improved after 2 months and ptosis improved after 4 months. Discussion : The use of systemic acyclovir and corticosteroids in HZO-OC patients were given promptly in previous literature. Multiple cranial nerve in our patient was thought to occur due to treatment delay. As improvement was not noted after topical treatment, these systemic treatments along with citicoline were added. Citicoline was added due to its ability to promote neural regeneration. Conclusion : Systemic acyclovir, corticosteroids and citicoline may still be beneficial for HZO-OC patients with delayed treatment.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction : Retinal astrocytic hamartomas (RAH) are benign tumors derived from glial cells. It is usually asymptomatic and detected incidentally during screening patients with visual impairment. The variety of lesions in these tumors poses special challenges in their diagnosis and treatment. Modern imaging methods, including as spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT), have substantially increased knowledge of these lesions. The aim of this case report is to report a case of retinal astrocytic hamartoma with retinitis pigmentosa in a male patient. Case Illustration : A 22-year-old man presented with blurred vision with headache for 2 weeks accompanied by floaters, flashes of light and night blindness and the UCVA was 20/100 on both eyes. On fundoscopic examination, we found a well-defined multilobulated lesions with cystic impressions on optic nerve head, arteriolar attenuation, and bone spicule pigmentation in peripheral retina. Ultrasonography examination showed a hyperechoic mass with acoustic shadow on optic nerve head. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) showed hyper-reflective intraretinal mass with “moth-eaten pattern”. Electroretinogram's (ERG) patient showed reduction of a-wave and b-wave. Patient then referred to Low Vision and was given glasses. Discussion : Retinal Astrocytic Hamartoma (RAH) is a benign tumor of the astrocytes and found within the nerve fiber layer of the retina. It is associated with certain types of phakomatosis but also in Retinitis Pigmentosa. Retinitis Pigmentosa can cause visual impairment as illustrated in this case. Conclusion : Retinal astrocytic hamartomas of the optic nerve head have been described in patients with retinitis pigmentosa. The tumors can be found anywhere. A comprehensive evaluation and examination are required.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction : Myasthenia gravis (MG) is characterized by fluctuating weakening and fatigability of skeletal muscles. Ocular MG (OMG) occurs when the symptoms of MG are limited to the ocular muscles. Case Illustration : A 21-year-old male presents with a two-month history of drooping both eyelids. The drooping eyelids improved in the morning or after a nap, and got worse in the evening. Ocular examination revealed limitation towards all gazes with bilateral ptosis. Visual acuity, anterior segment, visual fields, slit lamp, and fundus examinations were unremarkable. The ice pack and rest test resulted in a significant improvement after two minutes of ice pack application and 30-minute rest, raising suspicion for the diagnosis of MG. Acetylcholine receptor antibody (AChR) test was positive for AChR binding antibody. Treatment for OMG is initiated with an oral acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, pyridostigmine, and corticosteroid. The ptosis and ophthalmoplegia improved after one week follow- up and recovered completely after eight weeks of follow-up. Discussion : The hallmarks of MG are fluctuating fatigable muscle weakness that worsen with activity and improve on rest. Neurological exam and clinical neurological history are essential to establish the diagnosis. Bedsite tests, electrophysiologic test, and the antibody test all support the clinical diagnosis of MG. Conclusion : OMG progresses to its generalized form 90% of the time during the first two years of the onset of ocular symptoms. Early detection and prompt treatment are the key which may help to prevent or minimize the occurrence of myasthenia crisis.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction : Homonymous hemianopia (HH) is a visual field loss in the same halves of the visual field of each eye that is caused by numerous lesion affecting the retrochiasmal visual pathway. Homonymous hemianopia in children is a rare disabling condition and might be found as an initial presentation of brain tumors. Case Illustration : A 12 years old boy came with chief complaint of partially vision loss on the left side of vision accompanied by intermittent headache. Ophthalmological examination showed visual acuity of 1.0 on both eyes. Visual field examination revealed left homonymous hemianopia (figure 1). These findings were relevant to the result of his brain Computed Tomography (CT) scan, which showed vascular mass in the right occipital lobe caused by suspected arteriovenous malformation mixed diffuse type (figure 2). The patient was referred to neurosurgeon for further management. Discussion : Visual field defect depends on location of the lesion and can be used to recognize optic pathway diseases. Homonymous hemianopia occurs in retrochiasmal lesions that could happened either in adult or children. Unusual presentation of HH in children caused by brain tumor such as arteriovenous malformation. It might occur in up to 27% and can be detected radiologically with either brain CT scan or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Conclusion : Visual field loss in pediatric patient might be challenging. Proper and prompt diagnosis is important to detect underlying condition and determine further management of the patient.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction : Stroke are generally associated with peripheral visual field loss. Three out of four stroke patients report some form of disability, one of which is visual impairment. Approximately 16% of these patients have a homonymous visual field defect poststroke. These vision problems can lead to difficulty carrying out a lot of daily tasks and activities, such as driving. This report tries to define the diagnostic flow to determine the exact type and lesion. Case Illustration : Male, 61 years old, came to Universitas Sumatera Utara Hospital with visual field loss in both eyes. Two months ago, he was diagnosed with ischemic stroke and treated with Aspirin 80 mg, with no limbs disability right now. He also had hypertension and treated with Amlodipine 10 mg. VOD: 6/60 with BCVA S-2.00 6/7,5, VOS: 6/60 with BCVA S-2.00 6/7.5. With confrontation test and perimetry, defect was found in medial visual field OD and lateral visual field OS. Hess screen and Amsler Grid was normal. Head CT-Scan was performed with multiple infarcts, mainly in right occipital lobe. The patient was diagnosed with Incomplete Hemianopia, Left Congruous Homonymous Hemianopia with Macular Sparing, and treated with Citicholine 1000 mg once daily. Discussion Conclusion : In stroke patients with homonymous visual field loss, visual field testing with detailed evaluation of visual field defect can determine the lesion location, and neuro-radiological imaging was necessary to assess visual pathway. It’s important for educate the patients, diagnostic and prevent the stroke recurrent.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction : Carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) is an abnormal connection between the carotid arterial system and the sinus cavernous. Abnormal vascular shunt allowed blood to flow either direct or indirect from the carotid artery into the sinus cavernous. The indications for treatment of CCF are increased ocular pressure, double vision, bruits, severe headache, and severe proptosis resulting in keratopathy due to exposed cornea. Management of CCF include conservative management, endovascular intervention, surgery, and radiology intervention. Case Illustration : A 61 years old female came to the hospital complained redness on both eyes since 6 months ago, the redness in these eyes unrelieved even they had been treated. The patient have history given three types of drugs but there was not improvement. physical examination shown proptosis, injection of episcleral, cloudy lens with LOCSS NC2NO2C1P1 on both eyes, other examination also shown bruit on both eyes, Laboratory results was in normal limit. Funduscopic examination shown tigroid appearance. Discussion : Arterialization of the conjunctival vessels is a characteristic feature of CCF, other than physical examination, patient was planned for CT angiography examination to find external causes of injury assessing ICH and ischemia. Patient got external manual compression of the ipsilateral cervical carotid artery for about 30 to 40 seconds four times per hour several times daily for 4-6 weeks. Conclusion : Although CCF initially can be mistaken for conjunctivitis or episcleritis. Methods of therapy for CCF include conservative management, endovascular intervention, surgery, and interventional radiology. CCF itself is generally not life threatening but requires treatment to prevent worsening of the eye

Abstract

Abstract Introduction : Low vitamin D status has long been associated in multiple sclerosis patient with higher risk of disease progression and frequent relapses. Vitamin D plays an important role in modulating the immune process responsible for demyelination. To this date, the study on vitamin D deficiency in optic neuritis case is still rare. Case Illustration : Female, 20 years old, presenting with bilateral sudden visual loss since 1 week prior. The patient looked relatively pale and complained of accompanying headache and myalgia. Visual acuity in both eyes were light perception with dilated pupils and posterior segment showing optic disc swelling. CBC, infection and autoimmune screening came within normal limit and brain MRI further confirmed the presence of optic neuritis. The patient was given high dose intravenous steroid but showed no improvement. Later, she was screened for nutrient deficiency and found sign of low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D. After one week of oral supplementation and neuroprotective agents, her vision drastically improved to 6/6 in both eyes. Discussion : Vitamin D deficiency nowadays is getting more prevalent in high risk individuals with low dietary intake and sunlight exposure. Recent study found that mean serum vitamin D level were significantly lower in autoimmune optic neuritis (ON) and were associated with ON attack severity. Vitamin D sufficiency is associated with better inflammatory outcome and long term neurodegenerative measures in demyelinating diseases, as shown by improvement in RNFL thickness after attack. Conclusion : Screening for vitamin D deficiency is essential to consider in managing patient with atypical optic neuritis.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction : The presence of that specific sign in neuro ophthalmology cases can easily determine the differential diagnosis. But the challenge is how do we found the cause. We describe a case of visual loss with ophthalmoplegia in a diabetic patient suspected of having Tolosa Hunt syndrome. Case Illustration : Woman, 63 years old with acute visual loss and feel a "heavy eyelid" in the left eye for 2 weeks. The Visual Acuity is no light perception on the left and ophthalmoplegia with mild proptosis. We do the laboratory test and MRI. No specific result of infection was found but the patient was diagnosed with diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2. MRI shows a lesion in the left cavernous sinus. Diagnosis of Orbital Apex syndrome was made. We give the patient a high dose of steroid and then continue with prednisone orally. In 24 hours after treatment the "heavy eyelid" decreased. One month after therapy there are improvements in eye movement but still no light perception. Discussion : In cases of orbital apex syndrome with DM, we need to consider mucormycosis as the cause. In this case, the symptoms and signs as well as the MRI led to a Tolosa Hunt. Steroid administration was able to reduce heavy eyelids and cranial nerve palsy even though visual acuity had not improved after 1 month of therapy. Conclusion : Laboratory test and Neuroimaging plays an important role to find out the cause. High-dose steroid therapy in a diabetic patient with Tolosa Hunt Syndrome can be given with tight hyperglycemic control.
