Abstract

Introduction: to report a case of PCV that has been successfully treated with intravitreal injection of  t-PA,  ranibizumab, and pneumatic displacement. Method: A 65 years old man presented with blurred vision of his right eye. No systemic abnormalities were found. Initial visual acuity RE was  6/18. Funduscopy examination showed submacular hemorrhage in posterior pole. OCTA,  FA and ICG confirmed the diagnosis of PCV. We performed anterior chamber paracentesis and intravitreal injection of 0,05 ml t-PA,  0,05 ml ranibizumab, and 0,3 ml 100% C3F8 at a  time in retrobulbar anesthesia. The patient was instructed to maintain face down positioning for 2 days. Results: We evaluated the visual acuity, central retinal thickness (CRT), and central pigment epithelial detachment  (PED) thickness for 2 years. The visual acuity was increasing  gradually from 6/18 to 6/6 in the first year. The  hemorrhage was displaced completely, the CRT and central PED thickness  were decreased. In the second year the patient  had recurrence of PCV with serous retinal detachment and treated  with intravitreal aflibercept. Conclusion: Combined treatment of intravitreal t-PA, ranibizumab, and C3F8 can be used as a beneficial  therapy for PCV.

Abstract

Introduction: Severe systemic hypertension in chronic kidney disease can cause significant damage to the eye. Although hypertensive retinopathy is a well-known complication, hypertensive optic neuropathy and choroidopathy are much less common. The aim of this study is to report retinal manifestation in young patient with chronic kidney disease. Method: A 26-year-old man with underlying disease chronic kidney disease (CKD) gr-V underwent bilateral bullous exudative retinal detachments. Retinal arteriolar narrowing, vascular tortuosity, arteriovenous nicking, optic disc swelling, retinal haemorrhage, elschnig spot, siegrist streak were identified in both eyes. Blood pressure was 200/140mmHg with visual acuity 0,5/60 OU. The patient was diagnosed with bilateral hypertensive retinopathy and choroidopathy with bulous exudative retinal detachments. Results: After antihypertensive treatment, visual acuity improved, but the exudative retinal detachments and retinal hemorrhages reduced. A patient with those findings should be considered as having hypertensive retinopathy and choroidopathy and treated as soon as possible because of the poor prognostic. Conclusion: Hypertensive choroidopathy is a rare finding associated with acute increases in blood pressure. When the choroid is associated, the hypertensive event is often more acute and associated with increased morbidity. It is necessary to obtain fundus exam in any patient with elevated blood pressure and concomitant vision complaints. Therefore, screening hypertensive patients involves close collaboration between internist and ophthalmologist.

Abstract

Introduction: To report cases of retinal disorders that cause vitreous hemorrhage and the timing of pars plana vitrectomy in Cicendo Eye Hospital Methods: Retrospective observational study of all patients diagnosed with the vitreous hemorrhage who had undergone pars plana vitrectomy in 2016. Data were collected from medical record. Result: The mean age of this study is 54.65 years old from 260 vitreous hemorrhage patients. The most common retinal abnormalities are proliferative diabetic retinopathy (49.6%), wet age related macular degeneration (AMD) (13.5%), undetected retinal abnormalities (12.7%), retinal vein occlusion (8.8%), rhegmatogen retinal detachment (6.5%), trauma (3.45%), vasculitis (3.1%), idiopathic polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (3.1%), and drop IOL (1.2%). PPV performed 1-3 months after initial assessment (31.25%), less than 1 month (13.2%), more than 3 months (14.6%) Conclusion: The most common etiology of vitreous hemorrhage is proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Pars plana vitrectomy was performed 1 – 3 months after an initial assessment of the patients.
