RESUMO

PURPOSE: Evaluation of platelet-rich fibrin as an adjuvant in surface healing of contracted orbital sockets. METHODS: Prospective, interventional, and comparative study of 25 patients with moderate to severe contracted sockets conducted over 2 years (February 2020-February 2022). Group 1 underwent a dermis-fat graft with fornix forming sutures supplemented by a platelet-rich fibrin membrane, while group 2 received a dermis-fat graft with fornix forming sutures only. Patients over 18 years were evaluated as per prefixed inclusion and exclusion criteria. Assessments were conducted at 1, 3, and 12 months postsurgery, focusing on wound evaluation, socket epithelialization, postoperative pain, prosthesis rehabilitation, and complications, if any. Wound evaluation and pain intensity were assessed utilizing the wound evaluation score and visual analog scale, respectively. Socket epithelization was documented clinically at every visit. RESULTS: The study showed a mean age of 38.8 ± 8.8 years, with a 2:1 male-to-female ratio. Group 1 consistently scored higher on wound evaluation score than group 2 at all follow-up points. In group 1, 81.8% achieved a maximum wound evaluation score at 4 weeks and 100% at 3 and 12 months, compared to group 2's 42.8%, 50%, and 57.1%, respectively (p < 0.05). Postoperative contracture occurred in 3 group 2 patients at the final follow-up, with 6 showing unsatisfactory appearance. Group 1 demonstrated significantly lower pain intensity on postoperative day 1 (p = 0.03), and greater epithelization at 4 weeks. CONCLUSION: platelet-rich fibrin appears to be an effective solution for enhancing wound healing during socket reconstruction, attributed to its sustained release of growth factors and mesenchymal stem cells.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Description of clinical features, radiological characteristics, and management strategies in primary orbital intraosseous venous malformation (OIVM) with pertinent literature review. METHODS: A retrospective analysis including clinical, radiologic, operative, and histopathological data of six cases of histopathologically proven OIVM was done. A comprehensive literature review was conducted using online databases and augmented with manual search to identify reported cases of OIVM. RESULTS: Study data showed five females and one male in young to middle-age group, with an average age of 30 years (range: 20-48 years). Proptosis was noted in five cases (83.33%), and the duration of symptoms ranged from 6 months to 10 years. Frontal and zygomatic bones were most frequently affected and expansile bony lesion was the most common CT scan finding. Three patients underwent pre-operative embolization of feeders followed by en bloc excision of mass and surgical reconstruction (50%); one patient was managed with partial excision (16.66%) while two were regularly followed-up after incision biopsy (33.33%). Histopathology revealed vascular spaces with endothelial lining, separated by bony trabeculae in all patients. Follow-up periods ranged from 6 to 48 months and no recurrence or progression were noted. CONCLUSIONS: OIVM is an exceptionally rare disorder with a gradually progressive benign course. Ophthalmologists need to be mindful of this entity during patient evaluation as it has propensity for large volume blood loss intra-operatively, owing to its vascular nature. Complete excision with reconstruction of resultant defect is the preferred treatment strategy and without known recurrence.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Assessment of central and peripheral contrast sensitivity (CS) in thyroid eye disease (TED) with and without dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON). METHODS: This cross-sectional study enrolled 33 eyes of 18 treatment-naïve TED patients and 18 age- and sex-matched healthy controls for comparative analysis. A detailed ophthalmic examination included visual acuity (VA), intraocular pressure measurement, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, and CS testing (central and four peripheral regions) using Spaeth-Richman Contrast Sensitivity test was done. RESULTS: The average age of TED patients was 47.17 ± 13.99 years and a female preponderance was noted (66.66%, n = 12). Twenty-five eyes (75.8%) were diagnosed as TED without DON, while eight eyes (24.2%) had DON. Nine eyes (27.2%) were in the active stage of disease and 29 eyes (87.8%) had proptosis. The difference in mean logMAR visual acuities between TED patients and controls was statistically insignificant ( P = 0.189), but a significant difference was noted in central and total CS score ( P < 0.001, Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test). On CS comparison between DON and non-DON eyes, a significant difference in average scores was noted in central and all peripheral areas ( P < 0.05, Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test). With increasing clinical activity score, a statistically significant reduction was noted in CS in three out of four peripheral regions (Spearman correlation, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Visual function compromise can be detected in TED in the presence of intact VA, by testing CS. Peripheral CS deteriorates with increasing inflammation and in DON. Serial monitoring of both central and peripheral CS may help in diagnosing DON early.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Histopathological analysis of the retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) changes in retinoblastoma (RB) cases who received pre-surgical chemotherapy. DESIGN: Laboratory-based observational study. METHODS: Five-year analysis was performed to identify Retinoblastoma cases who underwent enucleation after receiving systemic chemotherapy. Grossly, RPE cells were observed in flat preparation in small calottes by staining with fluorescein stain in the raw specimens. They were documented under the objective of compound microscope and compared with hematoxylin and eosin-stained slides in the permanent tissue sections. RESULTS: Out of 51 cases of RB, post-chemotherapy enucleation was performed in 17 cases. Mean age of enucleation was 3.2 years. Endophytic RB (11 cases, 64.71%) was more common than the exophytic variety. Choroidal involvement was noted in 8 cases (47.06%), and optic nerve involvement was seen in 5 cases (29.4%). Focal and diffuse RPE changes were seen in one case each (5.88%). Central RPE cell changes near the cell nucleus were seen in all 17 cases (100%), which were documented by both fluorescein and Hematoxylin and eosin stain (100%). Drusens were observed in 8 cases (47.06%), and RPE proliferations were seen in 3 cases (17.65%). CONCLUSION: The study highlights the characteristic histopathological RPE changes after systemic chemotherapy in RB cases. These changes may be attributable to cell nucleus damage after chemotherapy.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To determine the surgical outcomes using navigation-guided transcaruncular orbital optic canal decompression (NGTcOCD) and investigate the relationship between visual prognosis. visual evoked potential (VEP), association with DeLano type of optic canal and Onodi cells in patients with indirect traumatic optic neuropathy (TON). DESIGN: Prospective observational. METHODS: Fifty-two consecutive patients with indirect TON unresponsive to steroid therapy were divided into three groups where Group I comprised of cases with optic canal fracture who underwent NGTcOCD, Group II without optic canal fracture who underwent NGTcOCD and Group III, no-decompression group who chose not to undergo NGTcOCD. An improvement in visual acuity (VA) at 1 week, 3 months and 1 year and amplitude and latency of VEP at 1 year were considered as primary and secondary outcomes, respectively. RESULTS: The mean VA improved from 2.55±0.67 and 2.62±0.56 LogMAR at presentation to 2.03±0.96 and 2.33±0.72 LogMAR at final follow-up among Group I and Group II patients, respectively (p<0.001 and p=0.01). Statistically significant improvement observed among both the Groups in VEP amplitude (p=<0.01) and among Group II in VEP latency (p<0.01). Both Group I and Group II patients have better outcomes than patients in no-decompression group. VA at presentation and Type 1 DeLano optic canal were observed as significant prognostic factors. CONCLUSIONS: NGTcOCD serves as a minimally invasive transcaruncular route to the optic canal which enables ophthalmologists to perform decompression from the anterior-most orbital end under direct visualisation. Patients with indirect TON with or without optic canal fracture and unresponsive to steroid therapy when managed with NGTcOCD have shown comparable and superior outcomes.

RESUMO

A 66-year-old North-East Indian male presented with bilateral eyelid swelling, ptosis, and bilateral submandibular gland enlargement. Dry skin on both arms was another peculiar complaint. Contrast enhanced CT scans revealed homogenously enhancing, diffusely enlarged lacrimal glands and blood investigations showed raised serum IgG4 levels. Histopathology from lacrimal gland biopsy showed lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates in storiform pattern. Immunohistochemistry showed 35% plasma cells positive for IgG4. A diagnosis of IgG4-related disease was made, due to supportive histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and serum IgG4 levels. The patient showed excellent response to systemic immunomodulators. Abbreviations: IgG4-RD = IgG4-related disease, CECT = Contrast-enhanced computed tomography, ACE = Angiotensin converting enzyme, IHC = Immunohistochemistry, HPF = high power field, IgG4-ROD = IgG4-related ophthalmic disease, ACR/ EULAR = American College of Rheumatology/ European League Against Rheumatism.

RESUMO

The current literature review aims to evaluate the ocular findings and associated ophthalmic features in Crouzon syndrome. Craniosynostoses are syndromes characterized by premature fusion of sutures of the skull and Crouzon syndrome is the most common of the craniosynostosis syndromes. Early fusion of sutures results in craniofacial anomalies, including abnormalities of the orbits. To prepare this review of the ophthalmic findings in this disorder, an organized search on online databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and Ovid was carried out. The key terms searched were "Crouzon", "craniosynostosis", "eye" and "ophthalmic", and 51 research items were found. A total of 17 articles were included after scrutiny of the databases and a further 25 articles were added after augmented search. A detailed review was performed from the final 42 articles. A comprehensive description of associated anomalies is given along with the author's own technique of surgical management in cases with Crouzon syndrome having bilateral luxation bulbi with exposure keratopathy. However, for optimum management of cranial and oculo-facial dysmorphisms, a multidisciplinary team of specialists is required.

RESUMO

Purpose: To describe the utility of RetCam ultra-wide-field fundus fluorescein angiography in pediatric retinal vascular diseases. Methods: A retrospective chart review was carried out in 43 eyes of 22 pediatric patients who were diagnosed or suspected to have a retinal vascular disease. Fluorescein angiography was carried out using the 130 degree lens of RetCam 3. Fluorescein angiography guided treatment (laser/cryotherapy) was carried out wherever required. Results: Diseases studied included - coats disease, familial exudative vitreoretinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity, congenital retinal folds, double optic nerve head, persistent fetal vasculature and incontinentia pigmenti. RetCam assisted fluorescein angiography was helpful in establishing a diagnosis in 4 patients (18%), in decision making regarding treatment in 18 patients (82%), in deciding need for retreatment in 5 patients (23%), helped in staging of disease in 5 patients (23%) and in detecting clinically subtle findings in 6 patients (27%). Conclusion: RetCam assisted FFA is extremely useful to document peripheral retinal vascular pathologies in pediatric patients and helps to take crucial therapeutic and retreatment decisions.
