RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To assess the feasibility of a novel surgical technique that combines B-scan ultrasound with modern vitrectomy techniques. METHODS: Patients with a clinical diagnosis of infectious keratitis endophthalmitis, which were scheduled for pars plana vitrectomy and ruled out as candidates for transient keratoprosthesis, were enrolled. The ultrasound probe was placed over the eye to use the images to witness the vitreous movement around the cutter and to establish its position in relation to the retinal wall. The procedure was performed in at least four ultrasound projections (longitudinal-9,6, 3, and 12). All patients were followed for three months, and in each visit, the visual acuity and the presence of adverse effects were assessed. RESULTS: Overall, 12 patients (mean age: 56.2 ± 18.4 years) were enrolled. Visual acuity at baseline was 2.3 ± 0.25 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution. Sixty-six percent achieved inactivation of endophthalmitis. Two patients had evisceration caused by uncontrolled infection, and two more had retinal detachment during follow-up. Visual acuity at the end of follow-up was 2.1 ± 0.3 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution ( P = 0.5). CONCLUSION: Ultrasound-guided vitrectomy is a feasible surgical technique. More studies are needed to assess its safety profile and optimize outcomes.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To assess the axial length (AL) measurement failure rate using partial-coherence interferometry (PCI) and swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) in dense cataracts. As a secondary outcome, the SS-OCT biometry was compared to immersion ultrasound. METHODS: This is a prospective cross-sectional and comparative study. Seventy eyes from 70 patients with dense cataracts were enrolled in this study. Dense cataract was defined according to the Lens Opacities Classification System III (LOCS III) scores equal to or more than NO4, NC4, C4, and P3. The failure rate of AL measurement was evaluated using PCI and SS-OCT. Anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT), and AL measurements obtained by SS-OCT were compared with IUS. RESULTS: AL measurement failure rate with PCI was 68.57% and 21.43% with SS-OCT (P = 0.007). AL measurement was achieved in 69.23% of NO4, 66.6% of P3, and 15.3% of mixed cataracts using PCI, while SS-OCT was achieved in 100% of NO4, NO5, P3, and P5 and 76.9% of mixed cataracts. Cortical cataracts alone did not influence AL measurement. Biometric data of ACD, LT, and AL were statistically different comparing US and SS-OCT with a good correlation of AL. CONCLUSION: SS-OCT significantly improves the rate of successful AL measurements when compared to PCI in dense cataracts. The LOCS III clinical cut-off for the use of SS-OCT ocular biometry may well be up to P4 and NO5.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: In previous studies, authors use ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) to analyze the characteristics of cyclitic membranes and the associated complications in patients with pars planitis. However, there are no reports regarding the prevalence of cyclitic membranes or complications at diagnosis and during follow-up. PURPOSE: To describe the characteristics and complications of cyclitic membranes, as determined by UBM in patients with pars planitis using AVISO-S™ (Quantel Medical) equipment with a 50-MHz linear probe with a focus at the pars plana. DESIGN: This retrospective study reviewed UBM images of patients diagnosed with pars planitis, from the Inflammatory Eye Disease Clinic in Mexico City from January 2010 to June 2016. RESULTS: Cyclitic membranes were observed in the first UBM image in 67 eyes (56.7%) and during follow-up in 81 eyes (68.62%). In 67 eyes (82.71%), the cyclitic membranes extended through one or two quadrants. Extension toward the posterior lens capsule was recognized in 15 eyes (18.52%) and extension toward the peripheral retina in 12 eyes (14.81%). Complications included ciliary body detachments in 10 eyes (12.35%) and peripheral retinal traction in 8 eyes (9.88%). CONCLUSIONS: UBM is a valuable tool for the diagnosis of cyclitic membranes at admittance and during follow-up of patients with pars planitis; it helps the clinician to detect this complication early.

RESUMEN

Abstract Purpose: To assess long, intermediate and near uncorrected visual acuity after a tetrafocal diffractive intraocular lens implantation, presence of dystopic phenomenon and patient satisfaction after surgery. Methods: Retrospective, observational study performed in Puerta de Hierro Specialties Hospital, in Jalisco, México. That included 100 eyes after phacoemulsification surgery by femtosecond assistance, followed by tetrafocal diffractive intraocular lens implantation due to cataract. Long, intermediate and near visual acuity without correction was measured, and presence or absence of dystopic phenomenon, plus patient satisfaction after surgery. Results: A total of 100 eyes in 50 patients who underwent cataract surgery with phacoemulsification by femtosecond assistance were evaluated. 100% underwent bilateral phacoemulsification. Long, intermediate, and near visual acuity after three months was in the most patients 20/20 (46%), 20/15 (44%) and Jaeger 1 (48%) respectively. The percentage or patients who refers halos was 7%; and other associated symptoms in 18%, being astenopia the most prevalent. The removal of the lens was not required in any case. Conclusion: Tetrafocal diffractive intraocular lenses provides excellent intermediate vision (at 60 centimeters) and satisfactory near (30 centimeters) and long (6 meters) visual acuity.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To describe the ultrabiomicroscopy (UBM) characteristics in patients with uveitic, convalescent, and recurrent Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease. METHODS: In this prospective, non-interventional, and observational study, all UBM variables, namely pars plicata and pars plana thickness, ciliochoroidal detachment, angle chamber, anterior chamber depth, ID2, and presence of ciliary processes, were compared between acute uveitic, convalescent, and chronic-recurrent phases. RESULTS: Ninety-one eyes were analyzed. Ciliochoroidal detachment (20%) and unclear ciliary processes (15%) are the most characteristic findings of the uveitic phase. At 1 and 3 months, ciliochoroidal detachment is no longer observed. In recurrent phase, pars plicata and pars plana thickness increases again and then decreases after the first month of treatment. Convalescent-phase does not show significant differences in UBM variables after a 6-month follow up. CONCLUSIONS: UBM may have a role in evaluating response to treatment in uveitic and recurrent phases and in the early detection of recurrences.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Although return of function has been reported in patients undergoing proximal forearm transplantations (PFTs), reports of long-term function are limited. In this study, we evaluated the clinical progress and function 7 years postoperatively in a patient who underwent bilateral PFT. CASE PRESENTATION: A 58-year-old man underwent bilateral PFT in May 2012. Transplantation involved all of the flexor and extensor muscles of the forearm. Neurorrhaphies of the median, ulnar, and radial nerves were epineural and 7 cm proximal to the elbow. Immunosuppressive maintenance medications during the first 3 years postoperatively were tacrolimus, mycophenolate, and steroids, and later, tacrolimus, sirolimus, and steroids. Forearm function was evaluated annually using the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand; Carroll; Hand Transplantation Score System; Short Form-36; and Kapandji scales. We also evaluated his grip and pinch force. RESULTS: Postoperatively, the patient developed hypertriglyceridemia and systemic hypertension. He experienced 6 acute rejections, and none were resistant to steroids. Motor function findings in his right/left hand were: grip strength: 10/13 kg; key pinch: 3/3 kg; Kapandji score: 6/9 of 10; Carroll score: 66/80; Hand Transplantation Score System score: 90/94. His preoperative Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand score was 50 versus 18, postoperatively; his Short Form-36 score was 90. This function improved in relation with the function reported in the second year. CONCLUSIONS: Seven years following PFT, the patient gained limb strength with a functional elbow and wrist, although with diminished digital dexterity and sensation. Based on data presented by other programs and our own experience, PFT is indicated for select patients.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To propose a method for quantification of vitreous hemorrhages (VH) termed minimum image gain (MIG). Therefore, to obtain MIG measurements in patients with VH and to compare them to normal controls; to compare results between graders; and to obtain and compare MIG from two different ultrasound systems. METHODS: Retrospective and cross-sectional, observational, and comparative study performed in two parts: Part 1) Retrospective comparison of MIG in VH vs controls by two experienced graders, with intra/inter-observer variability: MIG technique is described. MIG is performed retrospectively in two groups, VH patients and normal controls. Groups are compared with independent samples t-test. Intra- and interobserver variability between graders was obtained. Part 2) Cross-sectional analysis of variability from nonexperienced graders and with different ultrasound systems: MIG is performed in cross-sectional measurements of VH patients, by two unexperienced graders, and with two ultrasound systems. Interobserver variability and Bland-Altman plot with levels of agreement (LoA) were obtained. RESULTS: Part 1: 50 patients with VH resulted in mean MIG: 52.8 dB; 34 controls resulted in mean MIG: 77.97 dB. Independent samples t-test resulted in a statistical significant difference. Intra- and inter-observer variability resulted in an almost perfect agreement between experienced graders. Part 2: 63 patients with VH, mean MIG: 56.19 dB. Inter-observer variability resulted in a very high agreement between unexperienced observers. LoA resulted in a statistical difference between the two ultrasound systems. CONCLUSION: MIG may provide an objective and reproducible way to quantify vitreous hemorrhage density and potentially any vitreous humor opacity. Agreement is high even with unexperienced graders. However, the two ultrasound systems analyzed may not be interchangeable.

RESUMEN

Purpose: To correlate clinical findings of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease with standardized echography findings in a cross-sectional, descriptive and observational study. Methods: Patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease in the convalescent and recurrence phases were evaluated with standardized ocular echography. Eyes with opaque media were excluded. Clinical findings were correlated with echographic data. Results: Thirty-seven eyes of 25 patients were included. Best corrected visual acuity was in average 20/100 (0.70 logMAR). Clinical findings included: sunset glow fundus (92%), pigment migration (92%), nummular chorioretinal depigmented scars (68%) and subretinal fibrosis (64.8%). Standardized echography was able to recognize all the cases with subretinal fibrosis (n=24) described clinically. Standardized echography showed a 100% sensitivity and specificity of finding subretinal fibrosis. Subretinal fibrosis in patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada represents a risk factor for low vision. In our patients’ eyes, presence of subretinal fibrosis had a 2.5 time relative risk of having a visual acuity equal or worst to 20/70. Conclusions: Standardized echography represents a useful tool in patients with VKH in the chronic (convalescence and recurrence) phase of the disease. Subretinal fibrosis, a sight threatening complication in the convalescence and recurrent phases of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada, can be diagnosed with ocular echography, with characteristic images. Knowledge of these images can be useful in cases with opaque media and bilateral anterior segment granulomatous inflammatory disease. .


Objetivo: Correlacionar achados clínicos da síndrome de Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada com resultados ecográficos padronizado da doença em um estudo transversal, descritivo e observacional. Métodos: Pacientes com a doença de Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada, o convalescente e recorrência em fases padronizadas foram avaliados com ecografia ocular. Olhos com material opaco foram excluídos. Achados clínicos foram correlacionados com dados ecográficos. Resultados: Um total de 25 pacientes e trinta e sete olhos foram incluídos no estudo. A acuidade visual (AV) 20/100 foi em média 0.70 logMAR. Os achados clínicos incluídos: sunset glow fundus (92%), pigmento migração (92%), numular despigmentado cicatrizes coriorretinianas (68%) e fibrose sub-retiniana (64,8%). A ecografia padronizada foi capaz de reconhecer todos os casos de fibrose sub-retiniana (n= 24) descrito clinicamente. A ecografia revelou um padrão 100% de sensibilidade e especificidade do diagnóstico fibrose sub-retiniana. Sub-retiniana em pacientes com fibrose Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada representa um fator de risco para a baixa visão. Em nossos pacientes olhos, presença de fibrose subretiniana tinham um risco relativo 2,5 hora de ter uma acuidade visual igual ou pior para 20/70. Conclusão: Ecografia padronizadarepresenta uma ferramenta útil em pacientes portadores da doença na fase crônica (convalescença, e recidiva). Fibrose sub-retiniana, uma visão ameaçadora e complicação na convalescença e recorrentes nas fases da Síndrome de Vogt-Koyanagi- Harada, podem ser diagnosticados com ecografia ocular, com imagens características. O conhecimento dessas imagens pode ser útil em casos com material opaco e segmento anterior bilateral da doença inflamatória granulomatosa. .

RESUMEN

Smooth muscle hamartoma is defined as a disorganized focus or an overgrowth of mature smooth muscle, generally with low capacity of autonomous growth and benign behavior. The implicated tissues are mature and proliferate in a disorganized fashion. A healthy 5-day-old Mexican boy was referred to the authors' hospital in México city for evaluation of a "cystic" lesion of the right eye that had been noted since birth. The pregnancy and delivery were unremarkable. On physical examination, there was a reddish-pink soft lesion with a tender "cystic" appearance, which was probably emerging from the upper eyelid conjunctiva, which measured 2.7 cm in its widest diameter and transilluminated. Ultrasound imaging revealed an anterior "cystic" lesion with normally formed phakic eye. An excisional biopsy was performed, and the lesion was dissected from the upper tarsal subconjunctival space. Subsequent histologic and immunohistochemical findings were consistent with the diagnosis of congenital smooth muscle hamartoma (CSMH) of the tarsal conjunctiva. The authors' research revealed that only one case of CSMH localized in the conjunctiva (Roper GJ, Smith MS, Lueder GT. Congenital smooth muscle hamartoma of the conjunctival fornix. Am J Ophthalmol. 1999;128:643-4) has been reported to date in the literature. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this current case would be the second case reported of CSMH in this anatomic location. Therefore, the authors' recommendation is to include CSMH in the differential diagnosis of a cystic mass that presents in the fornix and palpebral conjunctiva.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: To assess the reliability of the measurements obtained with the PalmScan, when compared with another standardized A-mode ultrasound device, and assess the consistency and correlation between the two methods. METHODS: Transversal, descriptive, and comparative study. We recorded the axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD) and lens thickness (LT) obtained with two A-mode ultrasounds (PalmScan A2000 and Eye Cubed) using an immersion technique. We compared the measurements with a two-sample t-test. Agreement between the two devices was assessed with Bland-Altman plots and 95% limits of agreement. RESULTS: 70 eyes of 70 patients were enrolled in this study. The measurements with the Eye Cubed of AL and ACD were shorter than the measurements taken by the PalmScan. The differences were not statistically significant regarding AL (p < 0.4) but significant regarding ACD (p < 0.001). The highest agreement between the two devices was obtained during LT measurement. The PalmScan measurements were shorter, but not statistically significantly (p < 0.2). CONCLUSIONS: The values of AL and LT, obtained with both devices are not identical, but within the limits of agreement. The agreement is not affected by the magnitude of the ocular dimensions (but only between range of 20 mm to 27 mm of AL and 3.5 mm to 5.7 mm of LT). A correction of about 0.5 D could be considered if an intraocular lens is being calculated. However due to the large variability of the results, the authors recommend discretion in using this conversion factor, and to adjust the power of the intraocular lenses based upon the personal experience of the surgeon.
