RESUMO

We describe the frequency, demographic and clinical features, and visual outcomes of ocular syphilis infections observed during 2012-2015 at a tertiary reference center in Paris, France. Twenty-one cases (29 eyes) were identified. The occurrence of ocular syphilis increased from 1 case in 2012 to 5 cases in 2013, 6 cases in 2014, and 9 cases in 2015 (2.22-25.21/1,000 individual patients/year for the period). Among case-patients, an annual 20%-33% were co-infected with HIV. Seventy-six percent of ocular syphilis infections occurred in men who have sex with men. Seventy-five percent of case-patients had a good final visual outcome (best-corrected visual acuity >0.3 logMAR score). Visual outcome was worse for HIV-positive patients than for HIV-negative patients (p = 0.0139). At follow-up, the best visual outcomes were observed in patients whose mean time from first ocular symptom to consultation was 15 days (SD +19 days).

RESUMO

Purpose: To monitor perivascular sheathing during the course of retinal vasculitis by flood illumination adaptive optics ophthalmoscopy (AOO). Methods: Perivenous sheathing and venous diameters were quantitatively analyzed by semi-automatic segmentation of AOO images in 12 eyes of treatment-naive patients with retinal vasculitis. Results: The width of venous sheathing ranged from 45 to 225 µm (mean 101.0 µm ± 54.3). In 10 cases, the underlying vein showed focal narrowing (mean ± SD 14% ± 10). Focal narrowing of arteries was also present in one eye. At presentation, width of sheathing and vessel diameters were not correlated with fluorescein leakage. During follow-up, 5 eyes showed an increase in vein diameter or resolution of narrowing and in 10 eyes a thinning of vascular sheathing was observed (p= .003). Conclusions: Perivenous sheathing may be quantitatively analyzed and monitored by AOO. AOO may therefore contribute to monitor vascular sheathing during posterior uveitis.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of dexamethasone (DEX) implant compared with inferior fornix-based sub-Tenon triamcinolone injection (PSTA) for treatment of uveitis. METHODS: A total of 48 eyes received DEX and 49 eyes received PSTA as the first treatment. RESULTS: A total of 31 eyes were implanted with DEX relapsed (64.5%) after the first injection, while 32 eyes were injected with PSTA as the first treatment relapsed (65.3%). Kaplan-Meier estimated survival to overall relapse after the first injection was a mean 20 months± 3.6 months for DEX (median,7) and 14 months± 1.9 months (median,9) for the PSTA (P = 0.505). Of 49 eyes receiving the PSTA implant as the first treatment, inflammation persisted in 14.3% after the first injection but persisted in none after the DEX injection (P = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS: DEX implantation achieved a higher rate of disease control in the initial 12 weeks postinjection with a relative equivalence in the duration of effect and relapse rates when compared with PSTA.

RESUMO

IMPORTANCE: Arteriovenous nickings (AVNs) in the retina are the cause of retinal vein occlusions and are also surrogates of cerebrovascular aging. The prevalent mechanistic model of AVNs stating that arteries crush veins remains somewhat unchallenged despite the lack of evidence other than fundus photographs. Here, we observed that venous nicking may be observed in the absence of physical contact with an arteriole. OBSERVATIONS: This observational study, conducted from January 2013 to September 2014, included 7 patients showing remodeling of a venous segment close to a retinal arteriole without arteriovenous overlap were imaged by adaptive optics imaging. Affected venous segments showed a variable association of nicking, narrowing, deviation, and opacification. Venous segments were deviated toward the arterioles in 6 of the 7 cases. The degree of venous narrowing ranged from 40% to 77%, while at these sites, the width of the intervascular space ranged from 16 µm to 42 µm. Similar features were identified in typical AVNs. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Arteriovenous nickings do not necessarily involve an arteriovenous compression. Instead, the topology of venous changes suggests a retractile process originating in the intervascular space. These findings have important implications for the understanding of retinal vein occlusions and of cerebrovascular aging.
