RESUMO

Introduction: Severe central visual field defects are frequently observed in highly myopic eyes. This report details 2 cases of central visual field defects in individuals with high myopia, characterized by an unusual temporal protrusion of the optic disc, a feature not previously documented. Case Presentation: Two patients, a 54-year-old man and a 65-year-old woman, were diagnosed with high myopia in their left eyes, displaying an outward protrusion of the optic disc toward the macula. Swept-source optical coherence tomography revealed a focal lamina cribrosa defect at the temporal edge of the protruding optic disc, corresponding to the papillomacular bundle area of retinal nerve fibers, which exhibited thinning around the focal lamina cribrosa defect. Visual field examination indicated a central visual field defect in the affected eyes, which pattern corresponded to the papillomacular bundle responsible area. Conclusion: The emergence of a temporal protrusion in the optic disc may lead to a focal lamina cribrosa defect, resulting in a central visual field defect in highly myopic eyes. This distinctive optic disc feature may constitute a critical risk factor for a central visual field defect. Hence, optic disc protrusion in high myopia warrants attention, necessitating careful ophthalmic examinations for central visual field defects.

RESUMO

Iris mammillations are distinctive uniform nipple-like elevations that cover the anterior surface of the iris partially or totally. It is a rare finding and may coexist with other ocular and extraocular manifestations. Optic nerve pit (ONP), also known as optic disc pit (ODP) or optic hole, is a congenital defect resulting from the failure of fetal fissure closure during the embryonic development. It belongs to the congenital cavitary anomalies spectrum. This case presents a 19-year-old female patient who complained of a gradual decrease in visual acuity in both eyes for 4 years. Slit-lamp and fundus examinations revealed iris mammillations and ODP in the left eye. Corneal topography revealed bilateral keratoconus, which was managed with cross-linking. Iris mammillations and ODP are poorly understood ocular anomalies that are not reported frequently and have never been reported previously both combined with keratoconus. Thus, ophthalmologists should be aware of these conditions, their differential diagnosis, and their possible association with other disorders. This is the first reported case of the combined coexistence of iris mammillations and ODP with keratoconus.

RESUMO

There are scarce data regarding the rate of the occurrence of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and visible lamina cribrosa pores (LCPs) in the eyes of individuals with African ancestry; the potential impact of these features on disease burden remains unknown. We recruited subjects with POAG to the Primary Open-Angle African American Glaucoma Genetics (POAAGG) study. Through regression models, we evaluated the association between the presence of LCPs and various phenotypic features. In a multivariable analysis of 1187 glaucomatous eyes, LCPs were found to be more likely to be present in eyes with cup-to-disc ratios (CDR) of ≥0.9 (adjusted risk ratio (aRR) 1.11, 95%CI: 1.04-1.19, p = 0.005), eyes with cylindrical-shaped (aRR 1.22, 95%CI: 1.11-1.33) and bean pot (aRR 1.24, 95%CI: 1.13-1.36) cups versus conical cups (p < 0.0001), moderate cup depth (aRR 1.24, 95%CI: 1.06-1.46) and deep cups (aRR 1.27, 95%CI: 1.07-1.50) compared to shallow cups (p = 0.01), and the nasalization of central retinal vessels (aRR 1.33, 95%CI: 1.23-1.44), p < 0.0001). Eyes with LCPs were more likely to have a higher degree of African ancestry (q0), determined by means of SNP analysis (aRR 0.96, 95%CI: 0.93-0.99, p = 0.005 for per 0.1 increase in q0). Our large cohort of POAG cases of people with African ancestry showed that LCPs may be an important risk factor in identifying severe disease, potentially warranting closer monitoring by physicians.

RESUMO

Retinal oximetry could provide insights into the pathophysiology of optic nerve disease, including optic disc drusen (ODD). Vessel selection for oximetry analysis is based on morphological characteristics of arterioles and venules and supported by an overlay of estimated blood oxygen saturations. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to determine the validity of this vessel selection procedure by comparing it with vessel selection supported by video fluorescein angiography (FA). The study included 36 eyes of 36 patients with ODD who underwent retinal oximetry (Oxymap retinal oximeter T1) followed by FA (Heidelberg Spectralis). Two trained graders selected vessel segments in a pre-defined measurement area around the optic disc. One of these graders additionally performed the vessel segment selection with the support of FA images. When performed by the same grader, FA-supported and non-FA-supported vessel selection did not lead to significant differences in total vessel segment length, estimated oxygen saturations or vessel diameters (all p > 0.05). Inter-grader differences were found for arterial and venous segment lengths and arterial saturation (p < 0.05). A similar tendency was found for the arteriovenous saturation difference (p = 0.10). In conclusion, identifying vessel segments for retinal oximetry analysis based on vessel morphology and supported by a color-coded saturation overlay appears to be a valid method without the need for invasive angiography. A numerically small inter-grader variation may influence oximetry results. Further studies of retinal oximetry in ODD are warranted.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to obtain a pediatric reference database for optic disc parameters and interocular symmetry. To ascertain factors that modify these parameters (age, spherical equivalent [SE], and sex). METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study. 90 patients aged 5-17 years fulfilled all the inclusion criteria. After a full examination including cycloplegic refraction, all patients underwent optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the papilla using the three-dimensional (3D) scan protocol of the Topcon 3D 2000 OCT device. We provide reference values for optic disc parameters in the pediatric population. We also retrieved interocular symmetry reference values for these parameters. RESULTS: The multivariate regression analysis did not reveal variations in any of the optic disc parameters associated with age, sex, or SE (all P ≥ 0.126). The 95th percentile limit for absolute interocular differences for the cup-to-disc area ratio was 0.24. The multivariate regression analysis revealed the absence of a correlation between asymmetry of the optic disc parameters and age, sex, and the interocular difference in SE (all P ≥ 0.105). CONCLUSION: Pediatric reference databases for optic disc parameters and ranges of normality for interocular symmetry provide key diagnostic support in diseases that affect the optic nerve.

RESUMO

Acute angle closure glaucoma (AACG) is characterized by narrowing or closure of the anterior chamber angle of the eye. AACG typically presents in older, hyperopic patients who complain of blurred vision, ocular pain, halos around lights, headache, nausea, and vomiting. Optic disc swelling is known to be associated with intracranial hypertension, optic neuritis, anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, retinal vascular occlusion, and toxic optic neuropathy. There have been few reports of temporal relationships between laser iridotomy and optic disc swelling in patients with AACG. In this case report, we present a case of AACG where optic disc swelling was developed after sudden lowering of the intraocular pressure (IOP) by laser iridotomy. A 65-year-old woman presented with left eye pain and poor vision for one day. Slit-lamp examination revealed conjunctival injection, corneal edema, and a nonreactive and mid-dilated pupil in the left eye. Her best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/20 in the right eye and counting fingers in the left eye. IOP was 10 mmHg in the right eye and 54 mmHg in the left eye. A diagnosis of left AACG was made. A peripheral laser iridotomy was performed. The details of the optic disc were difficult to observe due to corneal edema, but there were no obvious abnormalities. The next day, the BCVA was 20/60 and the IOP had decreased to 9 mmHg in the left eye. Fundus examination demonstrated optic disc swelling in the left eye. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) scanning revealed optic disc swelling in the left eye. One week after treatment, the BCVA was 20/50 and the IOP was 10 mmHg in the left eye. Fundus examination and SD-OCT scanning revealed mild improvement of optic disc swelling in the left eye. Four weeks after treatment, the BCVA was 20/50 and the IOP was 10 mmHg in the left eye. Fundus examination and SD-OCT scanning revealed an improvement in optic disc swelling in the left eye. After performing laser iridotomy, it is necessary to pay attention to changes in the optic disc as well as the IOP.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To report a case of non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) in an elderly patient with ischemia of the left splenium of the corpus callosum, providing details of the diagnostic work-up and subsequent follow-up. METHODS SECTION: Case report. RESULTS: A pseudophakic 80 years-old woman referred complaining sudden visual impairment in the left eye (LE) in concomitance with episode of hypertensive crisis. Fundus examination showed diffuse swelling of optic disc associated with flame peripapillary hemorrhages in LE and small crowded disc in right eye (RE). A superior altitudinal defect with arcuate defect including the blind spot were detected at the visual field in the LE. The patient was diagnosed with NAION. Five days later the patient complained a further vision loss and a pathological area within the left splenium of corpus callosum, consistent ischemia, was depicted at magnetic resonance imaging of brain. Corpus callosum infarction was completely asymptomatic and neurological evaluation was normal. At 45 days follow-up fundus examination showed white ischemic nerve while visual field was irreversibly constricted with tubular defect in LE. CONCLUSION: In case of NAION linked with corpus callosum ischemia multimodal imaging and systemic work-up play a pivotal role for an early diagnosis.

RESUMO

In this comprehensive review, we delve into the significance of multimodal imaging in diagnosing and managing complications of congenital optic disc anomalies. While the fundus examination is the gold standard tool in the diagnosis of these pathologies, spectral domain (SD) optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) could shed light on the pathogenesis and treatment. Moreover, this review seeks to offer a comprehensive insight into the multimodal approach of these rare congenital pathologies. In conclusion, congenital anomalies of the optic nerve represent a major challenge for ophthalmologists. Further research could be useful to clarify the pathophysiology of these diseases and define a correct and more specific treatment approach.

RESUMO

Image segmentation is a fundamental task in deep learning, which is able to analyse the essence of the images for further development. However, for the supervised learning segmentation method, collecting pixel-level labels is very time-consuming and labour-intensive. In the medical image processing area for optic disc and cup segmentation, we consider there are two challenging problems that remain unsolved. One is how to design an efficient network to capture the global field of the medical image and execute fast in real applications. The other is how to train the deep segmentation network using a few training data due to some medical privacy issues. In this paper, to conquer such issues, we first design a novel attention-aware segmentation model equipped with the multi-scale attention module in the pyramid structure-like encoder-decoder network, which can efficiently learn the global semantics and the long-range dependencies of the input images. Furthermore, we also inject the prior knowledge that the optic cup lies inside the optic disc by a novel loss function. Then, we propose a self-supervised contrastive learning method for optic disc and cup segmentation. The unsupervised feature representation is learned by matching an encoded query to a dictionary of encoded keys using a contrastive technique. Finetuning the pre-trained model using the proposed loss function can help achieve good performance for the task. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, extensive systemic evaluations on different public challenging optic disc and cup benchmarks, including DRISHTI-GS and REFUGE datasets demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method, which can achieve new state-of-the-art performance approaching 0.9801 and 0.9087 F1 score respectively while gaining 0.9657 D C disc and 0.8976 D C cup . The code will be made publicly available.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Intrapapillary hemorrhage with adjacent peripapillary subretinal hemorrhage is commonly observed in myopia with tilted optic disc. It presents with typical features on the fundus and follows a self-limiting course. However, due to its complex etiology, clinicians sometimes lack sufficient understanding of it which can easily lead to misdiagnosis or overtreatment. In this case report, we describe a rare case of intrapapillary hemorrhage with adjacent peripapillary subretinal hemorrhage in both eyes. CASE PRESENTATION: An 18-year-old female who has no past medical history experienced sudden black shadow blocking of her right eye in the right eye for the past 2 days after a 5-day history of COVID-19 infection. The best corrected visual acuity is 0.5 in the right eye and 0.6 in the left eye. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed tilted optic discs in both eyes, bulged nasal optic discs, and the presence of strong reflective material under the parafoveal retina of the optic discs. Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) showed subretinal fluorescence occlusion above and nasolateral to the optic disc in the right eye, with hypofluorescence below the optic disc; the subretinal below the optic disc was obscured by vitreous hemorrhage; hypofluorescence was seen in the optic disc region of the left eye.COVID-19 antigen was positive. The patient was in the early stage of the third COVID-19 infection when the disease occurred. We speculate that it may be related to it. After 5 months of conservative treatment, the patient's hemorrhage disappeared in both eyes and her best corrected visual acuity returned to normal. CONCLUSIONS: Intrapapillary hemorrhage with adjacent peripapillary subretinal hemorrhage usually occurs in myopia with tilted optic disc. In most patients, the cause of the bleeding is unknown, but it can gradually resolve under clinical observation or conservative treatment.

RESUMO

We report on the first case of congenital Zika syndrome to be identified during the COVID-19 pandemic in Puerto Rico. The Zika virus (ZIKV) infection was first seen in Puerto Rico in December 2015. It is a flavivirus with vertical transmission, spreading from infected mothers to their fetuses and having a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations, of which microcephaly is the most worrisome. In Puerto Rico, routine ZIKV screening during pregnancy was implemented in October 2016. However, this practice has become less frequent over time. Nevertheless, the transmission of ZIKV continues, so it is important to ensure routine ZIKV screening in endemic regions, such as Puerto Rico.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Klippel-Feil syndrome is a rare congenital bone disorder characterized by an abnormal fusion of two or more cervical spine vertebrae. Individuals with Klippel-Feil syndrome exhibit diverse clinical manifestations, including skeletal irregularities, visual and hearing impairments, orofacial anomalies, and anomalies in various internal organs, such as the heart, kidneys, genitourinary system, and nervous system. CASE PRESENTATION: This case report describes a 12-year-old Pashtun female patient who presented with acute bilateral visual loss. The patient had Klippel-Feil syndrome, with the typical clinical triad symptoms of Klippel-Feil syndrome, along with Sprengel's deformity. She also exhibited generalized hypoalgesia, which had previously resulted in widespread burn-related injuries. Upon examination, bilateral optic disc swelling was observed, but intracranial pressure was found to be normal. Extensive investigations yielded normal results, except for hypocalcemia and low vitamin D levels, while parathyroid function remained within the normal range. Visual acuity improved following 2 months of calcium and vitamin D supplementation, suggesting that the visual loss and optic nerve swelling were attributed to hypocalcemia. Given the normal parathyroid function, it is possible that hypocalcemia resulted from low vitamin D levels, which can occur after severe burn scarring. Furthermore, the patient received a provisional diagnosis of congenital insensitivity to pain on the basis of the detailed medical history and the findings of severe and widespread loss of the ability to perceive painful stimuli, as well as impaired temperature sensation. However, due to limitations in genetic testing, confirmation of the congenital insensitivity to pain diagnosis could not be obtained. CONCLUSION: This case highlights a rare presentation of transient binocular vision loss and pain insensitivity in a patient with Klippel-Feil syndrome, emphasizing the importance of considering unusual associations in symptom interpretation.

RESUMO

Sarcoidosis is a chronic inflammatory granulomatous disease of unknown aetiology. Although the lungs and thoracic lymph nodes are the most frequently affected structures, every tissue can be affected. Ophthalmological involvement occurs in 25 % of cases. We report a clinical case in which the diagnosis of sarcoidosis was revealed by isolated unilateral optic disc edema.


La sarcoïdose est une pathologie inflammatoire granulomateuse chronique dont l'étiologie reste inconnue. Bien que les poumons et les ganglions thoraciques soient les structures les plus fréquemment atteintes, tous les tissus peuvent être affectés. L'atteinte ophtalmologique est présente dans 25 % des cas. Nous rapportons un cas clinique dont le diagnostic de sarcoïdose fut révélé par un œdème papillaire unilatéral isolé.

RESUMO

The purpose of this case report is to describe the optical coherence tomography (OCT) features of a peripapillary choroidal neovascular membrane (PPCNVM) in an eye with morning glory disc anomaly (MGDA). A PPCNVM appears as a hyper-reflective mass in the peripapillary area. It should be distinguished from peripapillary hyper-reflective ovoid mass-like structures, which are markers of axoplasmic flow stasis. This case report describes the distinguishing features between the two. The presence of intraretinal cystic spaces are indicative of an active PPCNVM. In conclusion, MGDA can be associated with PPCNVM and OCT can be used in its detection.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The aim was to investigate the changes in optic nerve function that may help in the diagnosis of subclinical optic nerve involvement in patients with Behçet's disease (BD) and isolated optic disc (OD) hyperfluorescence in fluorescein angiography (FA). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three groups were formed; BD patients with isolated OD hyperfluorescence in FA, BD patients without ocular involvement (normal FA) and control group. A total of 88 eyes of 45 patients were included. The groups were compared in terms of OCT-RNFL, contrast sensitivity and VEP latency. RESULTS: When the OCT-RNFL values were compared, there was a significant difference between the control group and Behçet's patients with normal FA. Contrast sensitivity values differed significantly among the groups, and the lowest mean contrast sensitivity was observed in the group with OD hyperfluorescence (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: As far as we know, this is the first publication that investigates optic nerve function in BD patients with isolated OD hyperfluorescence in FA. Assessment with FA of asymptomatic BD patients with visual complaints and low contrast sensitivity may be helpful at early detection of inflammatory optic neuropathy by close follow-up in patients with OD hyperfluorescence.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The objective of this study is to report a case of unilateral acute retinal necrosis (ARN) with contralateral eye presenting as non-necrotizing herpetic uveitis. CASE REPORTS: Case 1: A 48-year-old female presented at our clinic with blurred vision in the right eye for 7 days. She was diagnosed with ARN in the left eye 2 weeks ago. Ophthalmic examination revealed reduced visual acuity in the right eye (20/33) with the presence of optic disc swelling and macular exudation without peripheral necrotic lesions. With systemic antiviral therapy, optic disc swelling of the right eye vanished gradually, and the visual acuity improved to 20/20. Loss of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and decreased retinal thickness in the corresponding area occurred during follow-up. CONCLUSION: Non-necrotizing herpetic uveitis may occur in the contralateral eye of unilateral ARN under rare conditions. Structure abnormities, including loss of RNFL and focal decreased retinal thickness, are irretrievable.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To describe papillitis as a clinical phenotype of IgLON5 autoimmunity. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed patients with IgLON5 autoimmunity who had optic neuropathy, optic neuritis, or optic disc edema. Sera from patients with recurrent papillitis were tested for IgLON5 antibodies. RESULTS: We found two elderly males presenting with papillitis in the presence of IgLON5 antibodies. CSF pleocytosis was present and partial vision improvement occurred in one patient despite immunotherapy. Sera from 18 patients with recurrent papillitis were negative for IgLON5 antibodies. CONCLUSION: Papillitis could be a manifestation of IgLON5 disease, with or without accompanying cognitive, sleep, and movement disorders.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to compare the detectability of optic disc drusen (ODD), using various non-invasive imaging techniques, including the novel retro-mode imaging (RMI), as well as to analyze the morphological characteristics of ODD on RMI. METHODS: This study involved seven patients with bilateral ODD, totaling 14 eyes. Multimodal imaging techniques, including multicolor fundus photography (MC), near-infrared reflectance (NIR), green and blue light fundus autofluorescence (G-FAF and B-FAF, respectively), and RMI were used to examine the eyes. FAF was used as the primary method of identifying ODD, and each method's detection rate was compared by two observers. Quantitative measurements of ODD included the number of ODD visualized by the RMI technique, the perimeter (P) and area (A) of ODD were identified. RESULTS: The average age of the patients included was 49.28 ±â€¯23.16 years, with five of the seven being men. RMI was able to detect ODD in all cases, with a sensitivity of 100%, compared to MC (sensitivity 60.71%), NIR (sensitivity 60.71%), B-FAF (sensitivity 100%), G-FAF (sensitivity 100%). RMI was the only imaging technique capable of assessing ODD morphology and quantifying ODD. CONCLUSIONS: RMI is a promising imaging modality for diagnosing superficial ODD, providing valuable information on the distribution, location, and size of ODD. We suggest the incorporation of RMI as a complementary tool for diagnosing and monitoring ODD in combination with other multimodal imaging methods.

RESUMO

Introduction: Optic disc melanocytoma (ODMC) with peripapillary hyperreflective ovoid mass-like structures (PHOMS) is rare. This study reports a case of the characteristics of multimodal imaging and Minimum intensity projection (Min-IP) images. Methods: A 25-year-old male patient was referred to our hospital due to the presence of a dark pigmented tumor located in the optic disc area of his left eye. The patient exhibited normal pupillary reactions and had a best corrected visual acuity of 1.0 (decimal) in both eyes. This patient underwent multimodal retinal imaging examination including color fundus photograph (CFP), B-scan ultrasonography, Fundus autofluorescence (FAF), SD-OCT (spectral-domain optical coherence tomography), OCTA (optical coherence tomography angiography), en-face Min-IP image and fluorescein angiography (FA). Results: CFP revealed a slightly elevated mass lesion in the inferior quadrant of the left optic disc, the lesion appeared black to dark brown in color. B-scan ultrasonography of the left eye confirmed the presence of a hyperechoic small dome-shaped lesion. Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) analysis revealed complete hypofluorescence in this area. SD-OCT (spectral-domain optical coherence tomography) and OCTA (optical coherence tomography angiography) with Min-IP were performed over the tumor and its surrounding areas. SD-OCT showed an elevated tumor mass arising from the optic disc with increased reflectivity. PHOMS appeared ovoid in shape on B-scan OCT image. PHOMS appeared peripapillary hyperreflective bright areas on en-face Min-IP image corresponding to PHOMS on B-scan OCT image. The fluorescein angiography (FA) showed the staining of PHOMS. A diagnosis of optic disc melanocytoma with PHOMS was established prompting the patient to be advised for regular follow-up. Conclusion: The optic disc melanocytoma with PHOMS is a rare benign ocular lesion that requires minimal active intervention, but demands a lifetime follow-up. The multimodal imaging and Min-IP images have clinical diagnostic value.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To describe a case of acquired glaucomatous optic disc pit-related maculopathy successfully treated with glaucoma filtering surgery alone. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 67-year-old male was diagnosed with advanced primary open angle glaucoma in both eyes, with a cup: disc ratio of 0.85 in the right eye and 0.95 in the left eye. Visual acuity at presentation was 20/60, and intraocular pressure was 14 mm Hg in the left eye. The fundus of the left eye revealed a serous macular retinal detachment due to an acquired optic disc pit. RESULTS: The left eye of the patient underwent combined cataract and glaucoma filtering surgery. The serous macular detachment resolved completely 15 months after surgery, with a documented visual acuity of 20/40 and intraocular pressure of 10 mm Hg without the use of additional antiglaucoma medications. There was no recurrence of serous macular detachment even after the two-year follow-up visit. CONCLUSION: This case demonstrates that controlling intraocular pressure alone resulted in complete resolution of serous macular detachment in acquired optic disc pit maculopathy without the need for pars plana vitrectomy.
