RESUMO
Cataract surgery requires a well-dilated and stable pupil for a good outcome. Unexpected pupillary constriction during surgery increases the risk of complication. This problem is more pronounced in children. There are now pharmacological interventions that help tackle this unforeseen happening. Our review discusses the simple and quick options available to a cataract surgeon when faced with this dilemma. As cataract surgical techniques continue to improvise and get faster, an adequate pupil size is of paramount importance. Various topical and intra-cameral drugs are used in combination to achieve mydriasis. Despite good pre-operative dilation, the pupil can be quite unpredictable during surgery. Intra-operative miosis limits the field of surgery and increases the risk of complications. For example, if the pupil size decreases from 7 mm to 6 mm, this 1 mm change in pupil diameter will lead to a decrease of 10.2 mm2 in the area of surgical field. Making a good capsulorhexis with a small pupil can be a challenge, even for an experienced surgeon. Repeated touching of the iris increases the risk of fibrinous complications. Removal of cataract and the cortical matter becomes increasingly difficult. Intra-ocular lens implantation in the bag also requires adequate dilation. When dealing with challenging cases like lens subluxation, pseudo-exfoliation, and zonular dehiscence, a small pupil further increases the risk and adversely affects the surgical outcome. Hence, achieving and maintaining adequate mydriasis throughout surgery is essential. This review highlights the risk factors for small pupils during surgery and current management strategies.

Microvascular decompression (MVD) has a satisfactory safety, and it is the only surgical treatment for neurovascular compression diseases, such as hemifacial spasm, trigeminal neuralgia, and glossopharyngeal neuralgia, from the perspective of etiology. Bilateral dilated and fixed pupils have long been regarded as a sign of life threatening, which is common in patients with cerebral herniation due to cranial hypertension. However, transient dilated pupils after MVD have not been previously reported. Here, we presented 2 patients with bilateral transient dilated and fixed pupils after MVD and discussed the possible etiologies through the literature review. Physical examination of both patients showed bilateral pupils were normal and without a medical history of pupil dilation. They underwent MVD under general anesthesia and used propofol and sevoflurane. In both cases, the vertebral artery was displaced, and Teflon pads were inserted between the vertebral artery and the brain stem. Postoperation, we found transient bilateral mydriasis without light reflection in both patients. The emergency head computed tomography revealed no obvious signs of hemorrhage and cerebral herniation. About 1 hour later, this phenomenon disappeared. Therefore, the authors think if MVD is successfully carried out, bilateral transient mydriasis may not necessarily indicate brain stem hemorrhage, cerebral herniation, and other emergency conditions, which can be recovered within a short time. The causes could be related to stimulation of the sympathetic pathway in the brain stem during MVD and side effects of anesthetics.

Strategies for the assessment of abnormal neurological findings during general anesthesia are limited. However, pupil abnormalities may represent serious neurological complications. We herein present a case of new-onset anisocoria and mydriasis that developed after scalp nerve block. The patient's signs were possibly related to increased intracranial pressure with resulting brain shift that ultimately affected the oculomotor nerves. A 45-year-old man was scheduled for left cerebellar tumor resection and ventricular drainage surgery; however, anisocoria and left pupillary mydriasis were observed after induction of general anesthesia and performance of scalp nerve block. After reducing the intracranial pressure, the right pupil showed constriction (1 mm) but the left pupil was dilated (5 mm). The pupils were of similar size postoperatively. Although pupillary dilation during general anesthesia has been previously described, this is the first case in which the mydriasis was considered to have been caused by brain shift due to increased intracranial pressure after scalp nerve block. Thus, we propose this phenomenon as a new possible cause of pupillary changes. Actively monitoring this presentation intraoperatively could enable early detection of and intervention for complications, therefore improving the prognosis.

PURPOSE: To assess the risk factors for intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation during the early period post cataract surgery. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective study. METHODS: This study involved 1587 eyes that underwent cataract surgery at the Baptist Eye Institute, Kyoto, Japan between April 2020 and May 2021. In all subjects, risk factors for early postoperative IOP elevation (i.e., an increase of IOP of 10 mmHg or more at 1-day postoperative compared with that at baseline, or a postoperative IOP of 28 mmHg or more) were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: Of the 1587 treated eyes in this study, 100 (6.3%) experienced early-postoperative IOP elevation. Of those 100 eyes, 78.0% were men, 27.0% had an axial length (AL) of ≥ 26.5 mm, 23.0% had a history of glaucoma treatment, 11.0% had poor mydriasis and 10.0% had intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS). Multivariate analysis findings revealed that male [odds ratio (OR) 4.36; 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.63-7.23; P < 0.001], AL of ≥ 26.5 mm (3.11; 1.83-5.30; P < 0.001), a history of glaucoma treatment (2.83; 1.63-4.91; P < 0.001), poorly mydriasis (2.63; 1.16-6.01; P = 0.02), IFIS (4.37; 1.78-10.74; P = 0.001) and baseline high IOP (1.09; 1.01-1.18; P = 0.03) were associated with increased IOP during the early period post cataract surgery. CONCLUSIONS: The findings in this study reveal that male sex, high myopia, a history of glaucoma treatment, poor mydriasis, IFIS and baseline high IOP are risk factors for IOP elevation during the early period post cataract surgery.

Pourfour du Petit syndrome is an uncommon cause of eyelid retraction, associated with unilateral mydriasis and hemifacial hyperhidrosis. This syndrome is caused by hyperactivity of the ipsilateral oculosympathetic pathway and needs to be recognized because it has an opposite clinical presentation but the same topographic and diagnostic value as Horner syndrome. The authors report a rare case of Pourfour du Petit syndrome associated with cluster headache and discuss pathophysiological hypotheses, clinical presentation, complementary exams, pharmacologic testing, treatment options, and prognosis. Early detection of these symptoms may lead to swift diagnosis and treatment.

OBJETIVO: Presentar el caso clínico de una paciente con el síndrome de la transiluminación iridiana aguda bilateral (BAIT). MÉTODOS: El síndrome de BAIT es una nueva entidad clínica caracterizada por una transiluminación iridiana, dispersión de pigmento en la cámara anterior y una pupila en midriasis media que no responde o es poco sensible a la luz debido a una parálisis del esfínter. Los pacientes con BAIT suelen presentar dolor ocular agudo, fotofobia y ojo rojo. DISCUSIÓN: Presentamos el caso clínico de una mujer de 53 años que, tras ser tratada de una infección del tracto respiratorio superior con moxifloxacino, desarrolló un síndrome de BAIT, diagnosticado en primera instancia de uveítis anterior aguda. CONCLUSIÓN: Este es, hasta donde se conoce, el primer caso reportado en Navarra, aunque es necesaria mayor casuística para establecer patrones claros acerca de esta enfermedad
OBJECTIVE: To present a case report of a patient with a bilateral acute iris transillumination syndrome (BAIT). METHODS: BAIT syndrome is a new clinical condition characterised by severe transillumination of the iris, acute onset of pigment dispersion in the anterior chamber, and a medial mydriatic pupil that is unresponsive or poorly responsive to light, due to a sphincter paralysis. Patients with BAIT generally present with acute ocular pain, photophobia, and red eyes. DISCUSSION: The case is presented of a 53 year-old woman, who, after being treated with moxifloxacin for an upper respiratory tract infection, developed a BAIT syndrome, which was initially diagnosed as acute anterior uveitis. CONCLUSION: As far as is known this is the first case reported in Navarra, but more case reports are needed to establish clear patterns about this condition

PURPOSE: To describe a case of acute angle-closure glaucoma secondary to intermittent mydriasis related to Pourfour du Petit Syndrome caused by tracheal deviation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A 70-year-old Caucasian woman visited the Emergency Room of the University Eye Clinic complaining of blurring of vision and difficulty to move superior eyelid in her right eye. Examination revealed reactive mydriasis, and upper lid retraction on the right side. The rest of the ophthalmological examination was normal, and a cranial computed tomography (CT) did not identify any abnormalities. A cervical CT showed the presence of an accentuated lateral right convex deviation of the trachea, attributable to a fibrothorax. A right Pourfour du Petit syndrome was suspected. Although the mydriasis had in the meantime vanished, the patient was admitted to the Neurological Clinic. RESULTS: Five days later she suffered acute pain in her right eye. Ophthalmological examination of the right eye revealed conjunctival hyperemia, marked corneal edema, reduced depth of anterior chamber, permanent mydriasis. As assessed by Goldmann applanation tonometry, intraocular pressure (IOP) was 48 mm Hg. Fundus examination was normal in both eyes. Gonioscopy revealed angle closure in all quadrants. Slit lamp examination of the contralateral eye was normal; IOP was 10 mm Hg. After hypotensive medical therapy, iridotomy with YAG laser was performed. Thereafter, IOP stabilized at 12 mm Hg. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first report in the literature of a case of acute angle-closure glaucoma secondary to mydriasis related to Pourfour du Petit Syndrome caused by tracheal deviation.

Recurrent painful ophthalmoplegic neuropathy (RPON) is a rare condition that manifests as headache and ophthalmoplegia. It typically occurs in children. Although migraine or neuropathy have been suggested as etiologies, the precise etiology remains unclear. In the International Classification of Headache Disorders 3rd edition-beta version (ICHD3ß) (code 13.9), RPON was categorized into painful cranial neuropathies and other facial pains. We encountered a 48-year-old woman who had diplopia and right ptosis. The administration of prednisolone led to the immediate improvement of her oculomotor palsy, but residual mydriasis remained. Based on this case, the pathophysiology of RPON may involve temporary nerve inflammation with migraine. Repeated and severe migraine attacks may cause irreversible nerve damage. Thus, medication for migraine prophylaxis might be needed to prevent RPON.

BACKGROUND: Benign episodic unilateral mydriasis is one cause of anisocoria. This phenomenon is thought to be related to an imbalance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. There is a documented association with migraines, but asymptomatic cases have also been reported. A challenge with all cases is the level of investigation required to exclude more sinister causes of nervous system dysfunction. In a dynamic flight environment, additional considerations need to be made, such as varying light levels and use of night vision devices. CASE REPORT: A 27-yr-old woman on deployment to Afghanistan as a flight nurse presented to the role one clinic with right-sided mydriasis. The patient denied headache or any history of migraines. A dilated right pupil that was reactive to light was found on exam. Symptoms and exam findings resolved shortly after initial presentation. We consulted an ophthalmologist who requested patient transfer for review. He made a diagnosis of benign episodic unilateral mydriasis. DISCUSSION: There are a variety of causes for anisocoria. A thorough history and examination are required to avoid unnecessary investigations that may not be locally available in the more austere deployed military settings. From an operational perspective, the decision needs to be made regarding the maintenance of flight status. Consideration needs to be given to patient care capability when treating a flight nurse. In cases of rapid resolution such as this, removal from operational status is not reasonable should a clinician be confident of the diagnosis.Schiemer A. Benign episodic unilateral mydriasis in a flight nurse. Aerosp Med Hum Perform. 2017; 88(5):500-502.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of pharmacologic mydriasis and Peripheral Iridotomy (PI) on ocular biometry and anterior chamber parameters in primary angle closure suspects. Methods: In this prospective interventional case series, 21 primary angle closure suspects were enrolled. Intraocular pressure, refraction, ocular biometry (Lenstar, LS900), and anterior chamber parameters (Pentacam HR) were measured at four occasions: before PI (before and after mydriasis with phenylephrine) and two weeks after PI (before and after mydriasis). The study was conducted on both eyes and only one eye per patient, in random, was included in the analysis. Results: The mean age of the participants was 60±7 years and 17 (81%) were female. There were no significant differences in intraocular pressure, refraction, keratometry, biometric and anterior chamber parameters between groups, except for anterior chamber volume, which showed increments with PI and mydriasis. The corresponding values for anterior chamber volume were as follows: 88.2±13.7mm3 before PI, undilated; 106.3±18.8 before PI, dilated; 99.0±14.6 after PI, undilated, and 107.4±16.5 after PI, dilated (P<0.001). Conclusions: This study showed no change in the ocular biometric and anterior chamber parameters including iridocorneal angle after PI and/or pharmacologic mydriasis except for increments in anterior chamber volume. This factor has the potential to be used as a numerical proxy for iris position in evaluating and monitoring patients with primary angle closure suspects after PI (AU)
Objetivo: El objetivo de este estudio fue el de evaluar los efectos de la midriasis farmacológica y la iridotomía periférica (IP) en la biometría ocular y los parámetros de la cámara anterior en las sospechas de cierre angular primario. Métodos: En esta serie de casos intervencional prospectiva, se incluyó a 21 sospechas de cierre angular primario. Se realizaron las mediciones siguientes: presión intraocular, refracción, biometría ocular (Lenstar, LS900), y parámetros de la cámara anterior (Pentacam HR) en cuatro ocasiones, antes de la IP (antes y después de la midriasis con fenilefrina) y dos semanas después de la IP (antes y después de la midriasis). El estudio se realizó en ambos ojos, incluyéndose en el análisis un solo ojo por paciente de manera aleatoria. Resultados: La edad media de los participantes fue de 60±7 años, de los cuales 17 eran mujeres (81%). No se hallaron diferencias significativas en cuanto a presión intraocular, refracción, queratometría, parámetros biométricos y de la cámara anterior entre los grupos, exceptuando el volumen de la cámara anterior, que reflejó incrementos con la IP y la midriasis. Los valores correspondientes para el volumen de la cámara anterior fueron los siguientes: 88.2±13,7mm3antes de la IP, sin dilatación; 106.3±18,8 antes de la IP, con dilatación; 99.0±14,6 tras la IP, sin dilatación, y 107.4±16,5 tras la IP, con dilatación (P<0,001). Conclusiones: El presente estudio no reflejó cambios en los parámetros biométricos oculares y de la cámara anterior, incluyendo el ángulo iridocorneal tras la IP y/o midriasis farmacológica, exceptuando los incrementos del volumen de la cámara anterior. Este factor tiene el potencial de ser utilizado como indicador numérico de la posición del iris al evaluar y supervisar a los pacientes con sospechas de cierre angular primario tras IP (AU)
