RESUMO

PURPOSE: To evaluate the influence of corneal densitometry on portable applanation (Perkins) and rebound (iCare ic100 and PRO) tonometry. A secondary goal was to assess if there was a relationship between various corneal properties and the severity of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Seventy-five eyes of 75 patients with primary open angle glaucoma were studied, divided by severity into 3 groups: 25 mild, 25 moderate and 25 advanced. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured 3 times in each participant with a Perkins applanation tonometer (PAT), a handheld version of the Goldman applanation tonometer (GAT), an iCare PRO and an iCare ic100. Mean values were then calculated. Corneal topography with the Pentacam HR (Oculus, Wetzlar, Germany) was also performed in all individuals. RESULTS: Mean age and sex were comparable in all groups, as were densitometry values (P>0.05). The mean visual field defect (MD) was 2.85 (±1.23) dB in the mild glaucoma group, 8.26 (±1.90) dB in the moderate group and 15.66 (±3.46) dB in the advanced group. Three multivariate regression analyses were performed. The first and second calculations assessed the effect of IOP obtained with iCare ic100 and PAT as dependent variables with age, sex, CCT and mean keratometry (Km) within the glaucoma subgroups and the global sample. The third analysis was carried out to assess the relationship between corneal densitometry as the dependant variable and the aforementioned corneal parameters among the glaucoma groups. In the first multivariate regression analysis, a statistically significant correlation was found between ic100 rebound tonometry and CCT in the POAG global sample (coef. 0.117; IC [-0.21-(-0.01)]; P=0.025). No statistically significant correlation was found in the subgroup analyses. In the second multivariate analysis, no significant correlation was found between PAT and CCT, Km, age or sex (P>0.05). In the third analysis, densitometry was correlated with age in all glaucoma subgroups (P<0.001) and with CCT in the moderate glaucoma subgroup (coef. -0.037; IC [-0.67-(-0.01)]; P=0.021). Tonometry appeared to be minimally influenced by corneal densitometry, with a mild positive linear correlation seen (R=0.03). IOP values were similar with 3 of the tonometers: PAT 16.07 (±3.18) mmHg, PRO 16.27 (±3.42) mmHg and ic100 15.17 (±4.28) mmHg. There was, however, a significant underestimation of IOP with ic100 (-0.89mmHg) compared to PAT (P=0.007). CONCLUSION: Corneal densitometry did not show significant differences between glaucoma severity groups. A positive correlation was seen with CCT and both corneal densitometry and age. No correlation was found with keratometry or severity of glaucoma. The influence of corneal densitometry on IOP measurements appears weak, with little clinical relevance identified.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To assess the reproducibility of peripapillary, optic nerve head (PP-ONH) and macular vessel density (VD) by Spectral Domain optical coherence tomography angiography (SD OCT-A) in glaucoma patients and healthy subjects. METHODS: Cross-sectional study assessing 63 eyes of 63 subjects, including 33 glaucoma patients and 30 healthy subjects. Glaucoma was classified in mild, moderate, or advanced. Two consecutive scans were acquired by Spectralis Module OCT-A (Heidelberg, Germany), and provided images of the superficial vascular complex (SVC), nerve fiber layer vascular plexus (NFLVP), superficial vascular plexus (SVP); deep vascular complex (DVC), intermediate capillary plexus (ICP) and deep capillary plexus (DCP). VD (%) was calculated by AngioTool. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and coefficients of variation (CV) were calculated. RESULTS: Among PP-ONH VD, better ICC presented advanced (ICC 0.86-0.96) and moderate glaucoma (ICC 0.83-0.97) compared with mild glaucoma (0.64-0.86). For the macular VD reproducibility, ICC results for superficial retinal layers were better for mild glaucoma (0.94-0.96) followed by moderated (0.88-0.93) and advanced glaucoma (0.85-0.91), and for deeper retinal layers ICC was better for moderate glaucoma (0.95-0.96) followed by advanced (0.80-0.86) and mild glaucoma (0.74-0.91). CVs ranged from 2.2% to 10.94%. Among healthy subjects, ICCs for the PP-ONH VD measurements (0.91-0.99) and for the macular VD measurements (0.93-0.97) were excellent in all layers, with CVs from 1.65% to 10.33%. CONCLUSIONS: SD OCT-A used to quantify macular and PP-ONH VD showed excellent and good reproducibility in most layers of the retina, both in healthy subjects and in glaucoma patients regardless of the severity of the disease.

RESUMO

The purpose of this article is to describe two paediatric neuro-ophthalmological clinical cases caused by a systemic infection due to Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae). The cases are two girls aged 14 and 12 seen in the Emergency Department: The first one had internuclear ophthalmoplegia and second with loss of vision and headache. They had no other neurological foci. Magnetic resonance imaging showed hyperintense plaques in both, suggestive of a demyelinating disease. One month later, the neuro-ophthalmological symptoms resolved, with normal follow-up magnetic resonance imagings. The diagnosis was acute disseminated encephalitis secondary to M. pneumoniae. The diagnosis was made using PCR (gold standard) and/or IgM in serology. It is important to think about this possible aetiology in cases of suggestive demyelinating disease. There is controversy about the role of antibiotics and on whether corticosteroids are contemplated. In conclusion, M. pneumoniae must be a differential diagnosis in acute neuro-ophthalmological disorders in children.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Neurotrophic corneal ulcers are difficult to treat, and the conventional treatment often results in failure. A new matrix regenerating agent ("ReGeneraTing Agents"), Cacicol® (Laboratoires Théa), has demonstrated good results over the last few years. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the response to Cacicol® in a series of cases with neurotrophic corneal ulcers. METHODS: Retrospective case series looking at 11 patients with corneal ulcers unresponsive to conventional therapy that underwent treatment with Cacicol®. One cycle included 1 drop every two days for 5 days. RESULTS: The range of conventional therapy prior to Cacicol® was 0-91 days. On introducing Cacicol® 82% (9/11) of the cases were cured, and 18% (2/11) failed, requiring an amniotic membrane transplant or penetrating keratoplasty. The healing only required one cycle of Cacicol® in 67% (6/9) of the patients. More than one cycle of Cacicol® was needed in 45% (5/11) patients. One corneal bacterial ulcer responded favourably and one case related to Acanthamoeba did not respond. Most of the patients improved or maintained their visual acuity. CONCLUSION: Cacicol® was a useful therapy in a high number of difficult neurotrophic corneal ulcers, including corneal infections. Some cases may require more than one cycle of Cacicol® or used as first-line treatment in order to achieve the desired result.

RESUMO

El objetivo es describir dos cuadros clínicos neuroftalmológicos en niños por infección sistémica por Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae). Se presentan los casos de dos niñas de 14 y 12 años que acudieron a urgencias: la primera con oftalmoplejía internuclear y la segunda con pérdida de visión y cefalea. No presentaban otra focalidad neurológica. En la imagen de resonancia magnética se evidenciaron placas hiperintensas en ambas, sugerentes de cuadro desmielinizante. Al mes, los síntomas neuroftalmológicos se resolvieron y las resonancias magnéticas de control fueron normales. El diagnóstico fue encefalitis diseminada aguda secundaria a M. pneumoniae. El diagnóstico se hace por PCR (gold standard) y/o IgM en serología. Es importante pensar en esta posible etiología ante casos sugerentes de enfermedad desmielinizante. Existe controversia sobre el papel de los antibióticos y si se contemplan los corticoides. Como conclusión, M. pneumoniae debe ser diagnóstico diferencial en afectaciones neuroftalmológicas agudas en niños

RESUMO

Objetivo Evaluar la reproducibilidad de la densidad vascular (DV) peripapilar, cabeza del nervio óptico (ONH-PP) y área macular mediante angiografía por tomografía de coherencia óptica de dominio espectral (SD OCT-A) en pacientes con glaucoma y en sujetos sanos. Métodos Estudio transversal que evaluó 63 ojos de 63 sujetos, incluyendo 33 pacientes con glaucoma y 30 sujetos sanos. El glaucoma se clasificó en leve, moderado o avanzado. Dos exploraciones consecutivas fueron adquiridas por Spectralis Module OCT-A (Heidelberg, Alemania) y proporcionaron imágenes del complejo vascular superficial (SVC), del plexo vascular de la capa de fibra nerviosa (NFLVP) y del plexo vascular superficial (SVP); del complejo vascular profundo (DVC), del plexo capilar intermedio (ICP) y del plexo capilar profundo (DCP). La DV (%) fue calculada mediante AngioTool. Se calcularon los coeficientes de correlación intraclase (ICC) y los coeficientes de variación (CV). Resultados Respecto a la DV de ONH-PP, el mejor ICC lo presentó el glaucoma avanzado (0,86-0,96) y moderado (0,83-0,97) en comparación con el glaucoma leve (0,64-0,86). Para la DV macular, los resultados de ICC para las capas retinianas superficiales fueron mejores para el glaucoma leve (0,94-0,96), seguido por el glaucoma moderado (0,88-0,93) y por el avanzado (0,85-0,91), y para las capas retinianas más profundas el ICC fue más alto para el glaucoma moderado (0,95-0,96), seguido por el glaucoma avanzado (0,80-0,86) y por el leve (0,74-0,91). Los CV oscilaron entre el 2,2% y el 10,94%. Entre los sujetos sanos, los ICC para las mediciones de DV ONH-PP (0,91-0,99) y para las mediciones de la DV macular (0,93-0,97) fueron excelentes en todas las capas, con CV del 1,65% al 10,33% (AU)

RESUMO

OBJETIVO: Las úlceras corneales neurotróficas son difíciles de tratar y las terapias convencionales fracasan con frecuencia. Un nuevo agente regenerativo de la matriz extracelular («ReGeneraTing Agents»), Cacicol® (Laboratoires Théa), ha demostrado buenos resultados en los últimos años. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la respuesta a Cacicol® en una serie de casos con úlceras corneales neurotróficas. MÉTODOS: Serie de casos retrospectiva. Once pacientes con úlceras corneales neurotróficas que no respondieron a una terapia convencional fueron tratados con Cacicol®. Un ciclo incluyó una gota cada 2 días durante 5 días. RESULTADOS: El rango de duración de la terapia convencional, previa al comienzo del tratamiento con Cacicol® fue 0 a 91 días. Tras introducir Cacicol® el 82% (9/11) de los casos se curaron y el 18% (2/11) no lo hicieron, llegando a requerir un trasplante de membrana amniótica o una queratoplastia penetrante, respectivamente. El 67% (6/9) de los pacientes curados requirieron solo un ciclo de Cacicol® y el 45% (5/11) pacientes necesitaron más de un ciclo. Un caso de úlcera corneal bacteriana respondió favorablemente pero un caso infectado por Acanthamoeba fracasó. En la mayoría de los pacientes, la agudeza visual mejoró o se mantuvo. CONCLUSIÓN: Cacicol® resultó una terapia exitosa en una alta proporción de úlceras neurotróficas, incluidas las infecciosas. Algunos casos requieren más de un ciclo de Cacicol® o su uso como primer línea de tratamiento
