Abstract

Introduction: Endophthalmitis is one of the most feared disease in ophthalmology because it can lead to loss of vision and loss of the eyeball. Endophthalmitis from endogenous cause are very rarely found in young patients without immunocompromised condition, making it difficult to be diagnosed.  The lack of established guidelines for treating endogenous endophthalmitis also presents challenges for ophthalmologist.  In this case series, we present our management of two pediatric patients with different presentations of endogenous endophthalmitis. We manage to salvage both of the patient’s eye ball with two different approaches. Case Report: Our first patient was a 2-years-old boy with a chief complaint red eye since 10 days before admission. He was previously diagnosed with conjunctivitis. On admission the left eye was not very inflamed but we found hypopion and vitreous haze  from ultrasound, suggestive of endophthalmitis.  We gave the patient systemic antibiotics and did irrigation/aspiration of the anterior chamber. He responded well to our therapy and was discharged on tenth day of admission. 2. A 6-years-old girl with a chief complaint red painful eye since 2 days before admission.  On admission, the eye was very inflamed with limited movement. The USG revealed vitreous haze suggestive of endophthalmitis. She was then given systemic and intravitreal antibiotics but showed poor response. Intravenous steroid was then given and the condition was improved. She was discharged on the fifth day. Discussion: Our two patients came with two different presentations and responds to systemic antibiotics which was considered the mainstay of treatment in endogenous endophthalmitis. The first patient responded well with systemic and intracameral antibiotics while the second patient condition was improved only after the addition of intravenous steroid. Close observation with re-examination and re-evaluation should be done repeatedly to decide which treatment option should be administered. Conclusion: Diagnosis and management of young patient with endogenous endophthalmitis is challenging. Thorough history taking, physical examination, laboratory examination, and microbiology examination should be done to make a prompt diagnosis and management.

Abstract

Introduction : Periorbital necrotizing fasciitis (PNF) is rapidly progressive and severe infection that may result in vision loss, serious facial disfigurement, and death. Primary management includes surgical debridement; however, here we report a case in which conservative approach resulted in favorable resolution. Case Illustration : A 24-year-old male presented with swollen right upper eyelid, with watery eye, pain, and blurry vision since 1 week prior. No history of trauma or known systemic diseases was reported. Restricted movement of the right eye (RE), slight nonaxial proptosis, and skin defect along the right superior palpebra with pus, blood, necrotic and granulation tissues were found. Visual acuity (VA) of RE decreased to 6/40 with normal intraocular pressure. No abnormalities on the left eye, fever, and other signs of systemic involvement were present. Contrast orbital computed tomography (CT) scan revealed right preseptal and postseptal tissue lesions, suggesting orbital cellulitis. Initial blood work showed leukocytosis, elevated neutrophil and lymphocyte counts, and high liver function markers. The diagnosis of right orbital cellulitis with PNF was established. Skin swabs and blood cultures were taken, while intravenous ampicillin-sulbactam, bedside wound debridement, and chloramphenicol ointment application were initiated. The swab culture later showed Acinetobactersp. The infection improved, VA was restored to 6/6, and wound closure was achieved without any surgery. Discussion : Management of necrotizing fasciitis localized in periorbita in an otherwise healthy patient may be successfully accomplished with a less invasive approach. Conclusion : Timely diagnosis and correct antibiotic therapy are mandatory to decrease morbidity and mortality related to PNF.

Abstract

Introduction & Objectives : Infectious keratitis and endophthalmitis are rare yet devastating complications of corneal transplantation. Some studies have demonstrated increased incidence of infectious post-keratoplasty complications are related to contaminated corneal donor, although its risk factors remain controversial. This study provides concise review on possible risk factors of corneal donor contamination which related to post-keratoplasty infectious complications. Methods : This literature review was conducted by searching PubMed and Proquest for “corneal donor contamination” AND (“infectious complication” OR infection OR endophthalmitis) from the period of 2018-2023. Relevant articles were reviewed and selected for further understanding regarding various risk factors of corneal donor contamination leading to post-keratoplasty infectious complications and its preventive strategies. Results : The rate of corneal contamination varied between studies, ranging from 1,3 to 7,8%. The most common risks of contamination are donor’s diseases (e.g. cardiovascular, cerebrovascular accident) and prolonged time between death and donor retrieval. Longer preservation time (>5 days), environmental situation (temperature and humidity), and prolonged treatment duration on intensive care unit (>4 days) are also considered as its risk factors. Corneoscleral rim culture, addition of antifungal and antibacterial to corneal storage medium, and shortening of corneal processing time should be considered as probable preventive strategies. Conclusion : Donor diseases, prolonged donor retrieval time from death, and longer donor preservation and hospitalization duration, are associated with higher rates of corneal donor contamination. Rapid retrieval and donor handling time, together with corneoscleral rims culture, at least for fungus regarding its better predictive values, should be taken into consideration by corneal donors providing eye banks.

Abstract

Introduction : Hyperimmunoglobulinemia E syndrome (HIES) is a rare primary immunodeficiency disorder that manifests as elevated level of serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) higher than 1.000 IU/mL and multisystem disorder characterized by recurrent skin and pulmonary abscesses caused by autosomal dominant or recessive disorder with gene mutation. We present a case of multiple giant chalazion ina patient with HIES. Case Illustration : A 15-year-old boy was referred to Ophthalmology Department with multiple giant lumps on the left eyelid for the last 2 weeks. He had a history of recurrent multiple lumps on the left lower eyelid in the last 1 year. He was diagnosed with HIES since 8 years ago. He had normal visual acuity of both eyes. Multiple giant chalazion were observed on the left upper and lower eyelid. The patient also presented with scalp and neck infection. Laboratory studies showed elevated total serum IgE level of 53,032 IU/mL and eosinophilia. Discussion : Ocular manifestations in HIES patients are not common. Some cases reported chalazia, keratoconus, and blepharitis. Surgical incision drainage was performed in our patient. Medications and surgical intervention had produced only transient improvement. The patient was treated conservatively. Riskof chalazia recurrence remains unknown as reported cases presented with diverse clinical presentation and follow-up serum IgE evaluation is not routinely performed. Conclusion : Recurrent multiple giant chalazia may occur as an ophthalmic feature of HIES. HIES should be considered and investigated in patients presenting with recurrent giant chalazia.

Abstract

Introduction & Objectives : Essential blepharospasm is a neurological condition that is defined by uncontrolled and abnormal eyelid closure from a central cerebral disorder. Between 40%-85% of blepharospasm occurs in conjunction with dry eye symptoms. Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) injections are commonly used treatment for reducing spasms in blepharospasm. Furthermore, it is often suggested for dry eye therapy due to their ability to reduce lacrimal drainage. The purpose of this review is to assess the effectiveness of BoNT treatment for blepharospasm with dry eye symptoms. Methods : A literature research was conducted on online databases such as PubMed, Cochrane library and Google scholar. All studies of BoNT and dry eye with full-text journals published in English within the last 10 years were included. We assessed Tear Breakup Time (TBUT), Schirmer Test, and Blepharospasm Disability Index (BSDI). Results : 204 patients from 6 publications were analyzed. In five trials, the BoNT treatment statistically significant increased TBUT (p<0,5), with mean final TBUT 5,7 ±1.1 s. Furthermore, the Schirmer test also increased with the mean final score 6,29 ± 4,6 mm. The mean BSDI score dropped by 6,05 ± 3,7 in two studies. Conclusion : It is confirmed that BoNT injection is an effective treatment for essential blepharospasm with dry eye symptoms. Clinicians should be screened for dry eye in all blepharospasm patients prior to BoNT treatment.

Abstract

Introduction : Subperiosteal abscess (SPA) is a rare finding in cancer patients with orbital cellulitis. Severe complications associated with this condition are permanent visual loss, intracranial extension, and death. Case Illustration : A 38-year-old male with history of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) came with progressive right eyelid swelling, non-axial proptosis, and visual acuity was NLP. CT scan revealed right SPA associated with frontal sinusitis. NPC staging was T3N2M0. Despite the treatment of intravenous antibiotics and drainage incision of SPA, there was recurrence of right SPA two weeks after procedure and re-staging revealed T4N3M0. A joint operation with otolaryngology department to do debulking of the mass, frontal sinus surgery, and drainage incision was held. Culture resulted in Talaromyces marneffei. Patient was assessed with talaromycosis and given itraconazole for ten weeks. Moreover, patient came again with proptosis seven weeks postoperatively. Re-drainage incision was performed and clinical presentation was improved. Discussion : This case describes rare biological nature of NPC where extensive blockage of paranasal sinuses allows microorganism overgrowth and infection. The anatomical changes and cancer-related immunosuppression contribute to recurrent SPA. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are ideal treatments for our patient, however, infection must be treated adequately first. Surgical interventionis needed to manage the infection by SPA drainage where antimicrobial has poor penetration into the abscess and debulking of tumor to clear the blockage of drainage pathway. Conclusion : Recurrent orbital SPA could happen in patients with NPC, therefore appropriate medical treatment and timely surgical intervention are essential in managing orbital SPA. Multidisciplinary management is required to optimize patient outcomes.
