RESUMO

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to describe the diagnosis and management of bilateral blepharoconjunctivitis and erythema multiforme (EM)-like illness in an otherwise healthy young man who tested positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV)-2. METHODS: This is a case report of a 27 year-old man with a positive result for SARS-CoV-2 testing who presented with fever, eye redness, oral ulcerations, cough, sore throat, and progressive rash suspicious for EM-like illness. RESULTS: A SARS-CoV-2-positive patient presented to the emergency room with a progressing skin rash, bilateral conjunctivitis, and oropharyngeal mucosal ulcers. On initial ophthalmic examination, visual acuity was 20/25 both eyes (OU), and slit lamp examination demonstrated erythema and ulceration of the eyelid margins with fluorescein uptake at the mucocutaneous junction OU. The patient was admitted for observation and supportive treatment. During and after his hospital stay, he was treated with systemic and topical steroids, topical cyclosporine ophthalmic drops, erythromycin ophthalmic ointment, and artificial tears. At his 1-week follow-up visit after hospital discharge, the patient had complete resolution of his skin findings and improvement of his ocular and oral mucosal findings. Laboratory workup and imaging studies searching for other potential autoimmune and infectious etiologies showed negative results. CONCLUSIONS: Topical antiinflammatory drops, artificial tears, erythromycin ointment, and systemic steroids were an effective treatment for this bilateral blepharoconjunctivitis and EM-like presentation of SARS-CoV-2.

RESUMO

Inherited retinal dystrophies (IRDs) are a group of rare diseases involving more than 340 genes and a variety of clinical phenotypes that lead to significant visual impairment. The aim of this study is to evaluate the rates and genetic characteristics of IRDs in the southeastern region of the United States (US). A retrospective chart review was performed on 325 patients with a clinical diagnosis of retinal dystrophy. Data including presenting symptoms, visual acuity, retinal exam findings, imaging findings, and genetic test results were compiled and compared to national and international IRD cohorts. The known ethnic groups included White (64%), African American or Black (30%), Hispanic (3%), and Asian (2%). The most prevalent dystrophies identified clinically were non-syndromic retinitis pigmentosa (29.8%), Stargardt disease (8.3%), Usher syndrome (8.3%), cone-rod dystrophy (8.0%), cone dystrophy (4.9%), and Leber congenital amaurosis (4.3%). Of the 101 patients (31.1%) with genetic testing, 54 (53.5%) had causative genetic variants identified. The most common pathogenic genetic variants were USH2A (n = 11), ABCA4 (n = 8), CLN3 (n = 7), and CEP290 (n = 3). Our study provides initial information characterizing IRDs within the diverse population of the southeastern US, which differs from national and international genetic and diagnostic trends with a relatively high proportion of retinitis pigmentosa in our African American or Black population and a relatively high frequency of USH2A pathogenic variants.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To compare the refractive predictability of intraoperative aberrometry (IA, ORA, Alcon) and Barrett True-K/Universal II formulas for intraocular lens (IOL) power calculations in post-corneal refractive surgery and normal eyes. METHODS: Retrospective study of normal and post-corneal refractive surgery eyes that underwent cataract surgery with IA at tertiary academic center. Preoperatively, IOL power calculations were performed using Barrett Universal II (normal eyes) or Barrett True-K (post-corneal refractive surgery eyes) formulas. Intraoperatively, aphakic IA measurements were used for IOL power calculations. Mean absolute refractive prediction error (MAE) and the percentage of eyes with prediction error within ±0.50, ±0.75 and ±1.00 D were calculated. Refractive predictability was also evaluated in short, normal, and long eyes. RESULTS: Two hundred and seventy-three eyes were included in the analysis. No statistically significant differences were observed between the MAE of preoperative formulas and IA for post-hyperopic laser vision correction (LVC), post-myopic LVC, post-radial keratotomy (RK) and normal eyes. For prediction error within ±0.5 D in post-corneal refractive surgery eyes, range of agreement between Barrett True-K and IA ranged from 28% (7/25) of the time in post-RK eyes to 49% (40/81) of the time in post-hyperopic LVC; the corresponding value for Barrett Universal II/IA was 62% (64/103) in normal eyes. When there was disagreement, IA outperformed Barrett True-K in post-hyperopic LVC eyes and Barrett formula outperformed IA in post-myopic LVC, post-RK, and normal eyes. CONCLUSION: IA appears to be comparable to Barrett formulas for IOL power calculations in post-corneal refractive surgery and normal eyes. In post-hyperopic LVC, IA yields better results compared to Barrett True-K formula; in real-life scenarios, IA reveals statistical advantage over the Barrett True-K no history formula for eyes post-hyperopic LVC.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: There are primarily two techniques for affixing the scleral buckle (SB) to the sclera in the repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD): scleral tunnels or scleral sutures. METHODS: This retrospective study examined all patients with primary RRD who were treated with primary SB or SB combined with vitrectomy from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015 across six sites. Two cohorts were examined: SB affixed using scleral sutures versus scleral tunnels. Pre- and postoperative variables were evaluated including visual acuity, anatomic success, and postoperative strabismus. RESULTS: The mean preoperative logMAR VA for the belt loop cohort was 1.05 ± 1.06 (Snellen 20/224) and for the scleral suture cohort was 1.03 ± 1.04 (Snellen 20/214, p = 0.846). The respective mean postoperative logMAR VAs were 0.45 ± 0.55 (Snellen 20/56) and 0.46 ± 0.59 (Snellen 20/58, p = 0.574). The single surgery success rate for the tunnel cohort was 87.3% versus 88.6% for the suture cohort (p = 0.601). Three patients (1.0%) in the scleral tunnel cohort developed postoperative strabismus, but only one patient (0.1%) in the suture cohort (p = 0.04, multivariate p = 0.76). All cases of strabismus occurred in eyes that underwent SB combined with PPV (p = 0.02). There were no differences in vision, anatomic success, or strabismus between scleral tunnels versus scleral sutures in eyes that underwent primary SB. CONCLUSION: Scleral tunnels and scleral sutures had similar postoperative outcomes. Combined PPV/SB in eyes with scleral tunnels might be a risk for strabismus post retinal detachment surgery.

RESUMO

Since the introduction of femtosecond laser (FS) systems for corneal flap creation in laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis there have been numerous applications for FS laser in corneal surgery. This manuscript details the utility of FS lasers in corneal surgical procedures including refractive laser surgeries, intracorneal ring segment tunnels, presbyopic treatments, and FS-assisted keratoplasty. We also review the role of FS lasers in diagnostic procedures such as two photon excitation fluorescence and second harmonic generation.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To characterize the timing of large submacular hemorrhage (SMH) secondary to neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) relative to anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy. DESIGN: Retrospective, consecutive case series. PARTICIPANTS: The study included 46 eyes of 46 patients with large SMH resulting from neovascular AMD selected to undergo pars plana vitrectomy with subretinal tissue plasminogen activator at the Mid Atlantic Retina group of the Wills Eye Hospital. METHODS: Patient charts were reviewed to identify baseline characteristics and anti-VEGF treatment details. OCT was used to evaluate pigmented epithelial detachments, SMH, and subretinal fluid before and after SMH. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The timing of SMH in relation to last anti-VEGF injection, the anti-VEGF treatment status (i.e., naive, stable, or recently extended or shortened) at the time of SMH, and the length of the anti-VEGF treatment interval at the time of bleeding. RESULTS: Submacular hemorrhage occurred in 15 patients (36%) who were treatment naive. In patients treated with anti-VEGF, 19 (45%) had a stable treatment interval, 5 (12%) had a recently extended interval, and 3 (7%) had a shortened interval. The average treatment interval at the time of SMH was 6.8 weeks with a median of 7 total injections before SMH. Seven treated patients (26%) experience an SMH while having a 4-week dosing interval. The average time between last injection and SMH was 29 days. Forty-eight percent of patients treated with anti-VEGF agents experienced an SMH within 30 days of anti-VEGF injection. Chi-square analysis found SMH more likely to occur within 30 days of anti-VEGF injection than after 30 days. CONCLUSIONS: Large SMH in neovascular AMD in a treat-and-extend regimen does not seem to be associated with prolonged dosing intervals or recent interval extension, and a large proportion of such hemorrhages are likely to be a result of mechanisms other than loss of effective VEGF inhibition.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Vitrectomy to repair retinal detachment is often performed with either non-contact wide-angle viewing systems or wide-angle contact viewing systems. The purpose of this study is to assess whether the viewing system used is associated with any differences in surgical outcomes of vitrectomy for primary non-complex retinal detachment repair. METHODS: This is a multicenter, interventional, retrospective, comparative study. Eyes that underwent non-complex primary retinal detachment repair by either pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) alone or in combination with scleral buckle/PPV in 2015 were evaluated. The viewing system at the time of the retinal detachment repair was identified and preoperative patient characteristics, intraoperative findings and postoperative outcomes were recorded. RESULTS: A total of 2256 eyes were included in our analysis. Of those, 1893 surgeries used a non-contact viewing system, while 363 used a contact lens system. There was no statistically significant difference in single surgery anatomic success at 3 months (p=0.72), or final anatomic success (p=0.40). Average postoperative visual acuity for the contact-based cases was logMAR 0.345 (20/44 Snellen equivalent) compared with 0.475 (20/60 Snellen equivalent) for non-contact (p=0.001). After controlling for numerous confounding variables in multivariable analysis, viewing system choice was no longer statistically significant (p=0.097). CONCLUSION: There was no statistically significant difference in anatomic success achieved for primary retinal detachment repair when comparing non-contact viewing systems to contact lens systems. Postoperative visual acuity was better in the contact-based group but this was not statistically significant when confounding factors were controlled for.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To determine the usefulness of melan-A, SOX10, HMB45, and p16 immunohistochemical stains in the distinction between the low-grade and high-grade conjunctival melanocytic intraepithelial lesions, either independently or as components of an immunohistochemical panel. DESIGN: Retrospective observational case series. METHODS: Institutional pathology records between 2014 and 2018 were searched for all patients with conjunctival melanocytic intraepithelial lesions. Biopsies without supporting clinical history or tissue available for review and immunohistochemical analysis were excluded. Clinical, histopathologic, and immunohistochemical (p16, SOX10, HMB45, and Ki-67) findings were recorded. RESULTS: Thirty-one patients underwent 47 biopsies for conjunctival melanocytic lesions between 2014 and 2018. Pathologic diagnoses were low-grade conjunctival melanocytic intraepithelial lesion (n = 18, 38%) and high-grade conjunctival melanocytic intraepithelial lesion/melanoma in situ (n = 29, 62%). The addition of melan-A and SOX10 immunohistochemical stains resulted in an upgrade of conjunctival melanocytic intraepithelial lesion from low-grade to high-grade in 2 (4%) of 47 cases. The addition of melan-A and SOX10 immunohistochemical stains did not downgrade any of the histomorphologically high-grade lesions. In a clinical-pathologic multivariable model, the parameters most predictive of high-grade melanocytic intraepithelial lesion/melanoma in situ were involvement of the caruncle (odds ratio [OR] = 19, confidence interval [CI] 1.6-212; P = .02] and p16 cytoplasmic H-score >30 (OR = 81, CI 2.7 to >999; P = .01) CONCLUSION: Although the stains for melanocytic markers melan-A and SOX10 facilitate assessment of melanocytic intraepithelial lesions, the current immunohistochemical panels have limited value in distinction between the low-grade and high-grade intraepithelial melanocytic proliferations and need to be used judiciously.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: In 2018, cases of inflammation were reported after intravitreal aflibercept (IVA), which resulted in switches to intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR). The authors' purpose was to evaluate outcomes after switching from IVA to IVR in diabetic macular edema (DME). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Retrospective cohort study. Eyes switched from IVA to IVR for treating DME were included. Data were gathered from three visits before to three visits post-switch. Outcome measures included central subfoveal thickness (CFT) and Snellen visual acuity (VA). RESULTS: There was a statistically significant increase in CFT at the first visit (325 µm ± 234 µm; P = .006) compared to the switch visit, but no difference later visits (268 µm ± 103 µm; P = .32; 284 µm ± 118 µm; P = .11; n = 54). There was no statistically significant change in mean logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution VA between the switch and later visits (0.43 ± 0.38, P = .95; 0.38 ± 0.30, P = .12; 0.41 ± 0.37, P = .69). CONCLUSIONS: The authors observed transient worsening of macular edema in eyes treated for DME when switched from aflibercept to ranibizumab.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Non-causal macular holes (MHs) can occur concurrently with rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRDs). The visual outcomes and surgical approach for these eyes are variable. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This was a multi-institutional, retrospective review of all primary retinal detachment surgeries from January 1, 2015, through December 31, 2015. Pre-, intra-, and postoperative metrics were recorded. RESULTS: There were 2,242 eyes that had pars plana vitrectomy for primary RRD, 43 (1.9%) of which had a MH at the time of surgery. The mean postoperative logMAR visual acuity (VA) for the MH cohort was 0.87 ± 0.64 (20/148) and for eyes without a MH was 0.47 ± 0.63 (20/59; P < .0001). The single-surgery re-attachment rate for the MH cohort and no MH cohort was 86.1% and 84.9%, respectively (P = 1.0000). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with noncausal MHs and RRD had significantly worse VA than patients without a MH. Preoperative counseling is imperative in patients with both RRD and MH.

RESUMO

The role of p16 in the diagnosis and prognosis of conjunctival melanocytic lesions in the context of other clinical and immunohistochemical parameters has not been systematically explored. This study was conducted to determine whether p16 is a useful parameter in the diagnosis and prognosis of conjunctival melanocytic nevi and melanoma, either independently or as a component of immunohistochemical panels. Sixty-one patients underwent 61 biopsies for conjunctival melanocytic lesions between 2014 and 2018. Pathologic diagnoses were melanoma (n = 25, 41%), nevus (n = 21, 34%), and conjunctival melanocytic lesion of uncertain malignant potential (n = 15, 25%). The biopsies were assessed for expression of p16, SOX10, HMB45, and Ki-67. In a multivariable model, the parameters most predictive of melanoma versus nevus were diffuse HMB45 staining (odds ratio [OR] = 45, confidence interval [CI] = 4.4-457, P = .02] and p16 nuclear H-score≤115 (OR = 9.5, CI = 1.2-77; P = .04). There was no association of p16 expression with melanoma thickness. Next-generation sequencing identified no CDKN2A mutations or copy number alterations in 12 conjunctival melanomas, including the tumors with absent p16 expression. This study demonstrates that p16 immunohistochemical stain is useful in distinguishing conjunctival melanocytic nevi from melanoma, particularly in combination with HMB45. P16 expression does not appear to correlate with CDKN2A status and melanoma thickness.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To evaluate radial peripapillary capillary density (RPCD) in irradiated eyes without radiation papillopathy clinically. METHODS: Patients treated with plaque radiotherapy for unilateral choroidal melanoma without radiation papillopathy clinically received optical coherence tomography and optical coherence tomography angiography imaging at ∼12- to 24-month follow-up. Comparison of RPCD globally and meridian closest to plaque and meridian farthest to plaque of irradiated versus nonirradiated eyes was performed. RESULTS: Mean age was 55 years (n = 10). Mean largest basal diameter and thickness were 10.1 and 4.4 mm, respectively. Mean radiation dose to the optic nerve head and foveola was 41.7 and 66.2 Gy, respectively. No radiation papillopathy was detected by ophthalmoscopy throughout follow-up (mean:14 months). Radial peripapillary capillary density was significantly reduced globally (all P < 0.02). Meridian closest to plaque RPCD was significantly reduced (P < 0.01), but not meridian farthest to plaque RPCD (P = 0.07). Circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness was not significantly reduced (P > 0.26). Radiation dose to the optic nerve head was correlated with meridian closest to plaque RPCD reduction (r = 0.76; P < 0.01). Mean radiation dose to the optic nerve head for <5% and ≥5% RPCD reductions was 35.9 ± 12.2 and 55.2 ± 6.4 Gy, respectively. CONCLUSION: Radial peripapillary capillary density reduction was found in irradiated eyes before clinical evidence of radiation papillopathy and circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness reduction. Radial peripapillary capillary density reduction is correlated to plaque location and radiation dose to the optic nerve head.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To report a patient with clinically invisible retinal astrocytic hamartomas (RAHs) detected on optical coherence tomography (OCT) and studied with OCT angiography (OCTA). METHOD: Case report. RESULTS: An 11-year-old healthy girl was evaluated for reduced visual acuity in the right eye. On examination, best-corrected visual acuity was 20/50 in the right eye and 20/20 in the left eye. Fundus examination revealed blunted foveal reflex in the right eye and normal findings in the left eye. Optical coherence tomography disclosed an abruptly elevated, honeycomb-like macular mass with thin filamentous walls in the right eye, limited to the nerve fiber layer and measuring 756 µm in thickness. The numerous intralesional cavities (optically empty spaces) displayed no calcification. These findings were consistent with Type IV RAH. Optical coherence tomography of the left eye revealed intact foveola and focal nerve fiber layer thickening inferiorly without cavity, measuring 136 µm in thickness, consistent with Type I RAH. En face OCTA detected microvascular flow within the walls of the cavitary RAH in the right eye. Bilateral RAH in a child with no systemic evidence of tuberous sclerosis syndrome was established. CONCLUSION: Multimodal imaging is important in revealing causes of visual loss and in the detection of subclinical fundus tumors. In this case, clinically invisible RAHs were detected only by OCT and surrounding vascular flow by OCTA.

RESUMO

A full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) is a rare sequela to submacular hemorrhage. Herein, the authors report a case of an 80-year-old man actively being treated for neovascular age-related macular degeneration who presented with sudden vision loss in the right eye. Examination with optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging revealed submacular hemorrhage. The patient underwent vitrectomy with subretinal tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) with no intraoperative complications. Dilated fundus examination and OCT imaging revealed a FTMH at postop week 1. Possible causes for MH development include the submacular hemorrhage itself and subretinal administration of the tPA infusion. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2019;50:e257-e259.].

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To assess safety, efficacy, and outcomes of vitreoretinal surgery for macular pathology using a 3-dimensional heads-up display (3D HUD) surgical platform compared with a standard operating microscope (SOM). DESIGN: Prospective, single-center, unmasked, randomized study. PARTICIPANTS: Patients undergoing pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for epiretinal membrane (ERM) or full-thickness macular hole (MH) at Wills Eye Hospital. METHODS: Patients were randomized 1:1 to undergo surgery with a 3D HUD surgical platform or SOM. Patients who had previous PPV were excluded. Surgical choices, including PPV gauge, were based on surgeon preference. Standard surgical safety parameters, Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study visual acuity (VA), minimum required endoillumination levels, operative times, and surgeon "ease of use" of the viewing platform were recorded. Patients were followed up to postoperative month 3 (POM3). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The main outcome measures were total operative time, macular peel time, surgeon rating of viewing system ease of use, minimum required endoillumination, intraoperative complication rate, and postoperative VA. RESULTS: Thirty-nine eyes of 39 patients with a mean age of 67.60±8.21 SD years were enrolled. Indications included ERM (n = 26 [3D HUD = 14, SOM = 12]) and MH (n = 13 [3D HUD = 9, SOM = 4]). Minimum required endoillumination was significantly lower with 3D HUD (mean 22.70%±15.10% SD) compared with SOM (mean 39.06%±2.72%; P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in overall operative time, but macular peel time was significantly longer using 3D HUD (mean 14.76±4.79 minutes) than SOM (11.87±8.07 minutes; P = 0.004). Surgeon-reported ease of use was significantly higher (easier) using SOM compared with 3D HUD (P = 0.004). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in POM3 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) VA or change in logMAR VA from baseline (all P > 0.681). There were no clinically significant intraoperative complications in either group. CONCLUSIONS: Three-dimensional heads-up display surgical visualization is an evolving technology demonstrating comparable efficacy to the SOM for macular surgery. Although overall surgical times were similar, 3D HUD macular peel times were longer and associated with less ease of use in this study, which may partly be due to a learning curve with new technology.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To report a case of clinically invisible retinoblastoma recurrence detected only on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. METHODS: Case report. RESULTS: A 3-week-old girl with bilateral familial retinoblastoma underwent six cycles of intravenous chemoreduction. Both eyes showed tumor regression. After 6 cycles of chemoreduction, the tumor in the right eye appeared with clinical regression; however, by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, there was 40 µm increase in thickness and 290 µm increase in basal diameter. Due to tumor proximity of 1.85 mm to the foveola, the recurrence was treated via intraarterial chemotherapy with two cycles of Melphalan 3 mg. After treatment, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography showed complete regression of the recurrent tumor to a flat scar with intact fovea. CONCLUSION: Precise submillimeter imaging with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography for monitoring retinoblastoma is important and can allow detection of early recurrences that might be clinically invisible otherwise, as well as surveillance of the fovea.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To study changes in the foveal microvascular anatomy using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) after intravenous chemotherapy (IVC) for retinoblastoma (RB). METHODS: A retrospective comparative case-control series included 10 age-matched normal eyes with no documented ocular pathology (control), 10 fellow eyes of patients with unilateral RB treated with IVC (RB fellow), and 10 eyes with extramacular RB in patients with bilateral RB treated with IVC (RB tumor). All eyes were scanned using enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography and OCTA. Enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography measurements of central macular thickness and subfoveolar choroidal thickness as well as OCTA measurements of foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area in superficial (sFAZ) and deep (dFAZ) plexus and capillary density (CD) in the superficial (sCD) and deep (dCD) plexus were performed. Comparison among the three groups was conducted. RESULTS: Among the three cohorts (control, RB fellow, and RB tumor), there was no difference in mean age at measurement (12, 10, and 12 years) and mean interval between last IVC and OCTA (RB fellow and RB tumor) (9, 10 years). Optical coherence tomography and OCTA revealed no significant difference in central macular thickness (all P ≥ 0.161), choroidal thickness (all P ≥ 0.066), sFAZ (all P ≥ 0.618), dFAZ (all P ≥ 0.610), and sCD (all P ≥ 0.638) comparing controls versus RB fellow, controls versus RB tumor, and RB fellow versus RB tumor. By contrast, mean dCD was significantly greater in controls (52%), compared with both RB fellow (49%, P = 0.026) and RB tumor (48%, P = 0.028) groups, but no difference was found between RB fellow and RB tumor (49% vs. 48%, P = 0.515). LogMAR visual acuity showed no difference among the three groups (all P ≥ 0.150). CONCLUSION: At mean 10-year follow-up, slight reduction in dCD seems to occur after IVC for RB without alterations in central macular thickness, choroidal thickness, FAZ, or sCD and without visual compromise.
