Abstract

Purpose: to assess the levels of Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) in vitreous of proliferative diabetic retinopathy patients which were given intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB), as well as its relation to the central macular thickness (CMT) measured prior to vitrectomy. Methods: thirty-two eyes were randomized into two groups, one that received an IVB injection at 1-2 weeks previtrectomy and the control group which did not receive any injection. Measurement of HIF-1α and ICAM-1 was conducted using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The CMT were measured at the initial visit, prior to vitrectomy, and at follow up time (2, 4, and 12 weeks postoperatively) using Stratus OCT. Results: The mean levels of HIF-1α vitreous (ng/mg protein) in the control group and IVB respectively 0.020 (0.006; 0.077) and 0.029 (0.016; 0.21). Vitreous levels of ICAM-1 (ng /mL) in control group and IVB group were 20.10 (3.41; 40.16) and 23.33 (0.63; 68.5). The mean levels of HIF-1α and ICAM-1 vitreous obtained did not differ significantly between the two groups. Conclusion: The levels of HIF-1α and ICAM-1 in PDR patients do not decrease after one injection of intravitreal Bevacizumab 1-2 weeks prior to vitrectomy. The concentration of vitreous HIF-1α and ICAM-1 are not directly related to the CMT.

Abstract

Introduction: IOL-capsular bag complex dislocation is a rare but serious complication of phacoemulsification surgery. Technique to repair this complication should be based on various clinical parameters including quality of corneal endothelial cells and the type of dislocated IOL. Case Presentation: We present a case of a 67-year-old male with left eye spontaneous one-piece foldable IOL-capsular bag complex dislocation to vitreous cavity 4 years after phacoemulsification surgery. Visual acuity of the left eye was 1/60, pupil was round with 3 mm diameter and IOP was 15 mmHg. Noncontact specular microscopy examination showed that the corneal endothelial cell density was 1100 cells/mm2. It was managed with 23-gauge posterior vitrectomy, IOL evacuation to anterior chamber, releasing the capsular bag and repositioning the IOL into posterior chamber by sutured scleral fixation. Result: Follow-up at 6thmonth, best corrected visual acuity of the left eye achieved 6/6, IOL at central position and the last corneal endothelial cell density was 1076 cells/mm2. Conclusions: Late spontaneous IOL-capsular bag complex dislocation with low corneal endothelial cell density can be safely managed with proper surgical technique. Vitrectomy and sutured scleral fixation of the previously dislocated IOL were effective in managing such case. Longer follow-up should be done to assure the stability of IOL position and the quality of corneal endothelial cells.

Abstract

Introduction : to determine the effect of citicoline 1000 mg oral supplementation given for 4 weeks on electroretinography abnormalities in patients with NPDR (non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy). Methods : prospective, double blind, randomized clinical trial. Thirty-eight patients who matched the inclusion and exclusion criteria were randomized into two groups: the placebo (P-NPDR) and citicoline (C-NPDR). In the end, there were 18 eyes in citicoline group and 16 eyes in placebo group. The primary outcome was P50 and N95 amplitude in PERG within group and intergroup which were taken at the baseline and 4 weeks after treatment. Results : at the end of treatment, the N95 amplitude in C-NPDR showed improvement, 4.85 (1.9-10.3) µV, before treatment to 5.7 (1.9-17.1) µV, after treatment with P = 0.04. Median P50 amplitude improved in both groups, with C-NPDR: 3.1 µV to 3.8 µV (p = 0.89), and P-NPDR: 3.5 µV, to 4.5 µV (p = 0.10). Delta ∆N95 amplitude is higher in C-NPDR, while delta ∆P50 amplitude is higher in P-NPDR, with P values 0.35 and 0.45. Conclusion : Oral citicoline may induce a significant improvement in mean N95 amplitude before and after the treatment. P-NPDR showed positive trend in P50 amplitude while in C-NPDR showed positive trend in N95 amplitude, but these values were not statistically significant (P = 0.45; P= 0.35).

Abstract

Introduction: Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a hereditary disorder that diffusely involve photoreceptor and retinal pigment epithelial (RPE). It is characterized by progressive visual field loss and abnormal ERG. Unilateral RP is a rare condition that is usually sporadic. Clinical presentation and ancillary test results are similar to bilateral RP, with only one eye affected. In making the diagnosis of unilateral RP, clinicians must be able to rule out secondary causes, document a normal ERG in the unaffected eye, and follow-up the patient for at least 5 years to rule out bilateral but asymmetric disease. the aim of this case report is how to diagnose a rare case unilateral RP from clinical examination and ancillary tests. Methods: We report a case of a 33-year-old female with slowly progressive restriction of visual field of the left eye in the last one year before admission. Ophthalmological examination of the left eye revealed bone spicules spreading to peripheral fundus. Visual field examination revealed severely constricted visual field of the left eye. The multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) examination showed severely depressed ERG function with reduced foveal responses. The fellow eye was within normal limit. Results: Patient was diagnosed with unilateral RP and must be followed-up for at least five years to rule out bilateral yet asymmetric disease. Making diagnosis of unilateral RP become one of the challenging case. Clinicians must be able to rule out the secondary causes that also have unilateral pigmentary retinal degeneration. Conclusion: With a good clinical examination and some simple ancillary tests, we could correctly diagnose unilateral RP. However, in this case we still need five years follow up to rule out bilateral RP yet asymmetric disease.

Abstract

Introduction: Usher Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder involving abnormalities in the retina and hearing, where the patients will experience blindness and hearing loss due to mutations of the gene. Blindness caused by Usher Syndrome has not been prevented until now, but the emphasis is more on focusing early diagnosis, especially patients with Retinitis Pigmentosa. Methods: This Case represent of two siblings with Retinitis Pigmentose (RP) and profound bilateral sensorineural deafness. Diagnosis based on patients decreases of vision since teenagers and worst at night, visual acuity and visual field examination in both patients, Ophthalmoscopic findings, and sensorineural deafness diagnosed by Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) department. Electroretinogram (ERG) was not carried out in the two patients because of the limitations of diagnostic facilities. Result: In both eyes of both siblings, ophthalmoscopic evaluation disclosed numerous bone spiculae at peripheral area. Humphrey perimetry showed a tunnel vision. The hearing test also showed a sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Conclusion: two affected member of the family were found to exhibit an usher syndrome, this pedigree supports the genetic cotransmission of the traits.

Abstract

Background: Injection of Silicon oil is a standard procedure for vitreous replacement in vitrectomy procedure for retinal detachment cases. It acts as a great tamponading agent for reattachment of retinal breaks or retinal detachment. Despite its minor side effect, silicon oil could cause several complications such as cataract, endothelia decompensation, increased intraocular pressure, and secondary glaucoma. Thus needed to be evacuated after the retinal reattachment is stabilized. Following evacuation procedure, visual acuity are known to be significantly improved. However, some cases shows decreased of visual acuity due to retinal redetachment, optic nerve damage due to secondary glaucoma, hypotonym vitreous hemorrhage, expulsive hemorrhage, and cornea abnormality. Methods: A retrospective descriptive study of retinal detachment patients underwent silicon oil evacuation procedure in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Indonesia from September 2017 until Januari 2018. Results: There were seventy seven cases of retinal detachment undergoes silicon oil evacuation within period of September 2017-Januari 2018. There were improvement of visual acuity (greater than 6/60) after one month of silicon oil evacuation. Anatomical retinal reattachment was successfully observed in 91% patient. The most occuring complication after silicon oil evacuation includes secondary glaucoma and retinal redetachment. Conclusion: Silicon oil evacuation is a standard procedure following a vitrectomy in retinal detachment cases. The evacuation procedure yields in positive benefit for patient in term of visual acuity and anatomical structure.

Abstract

Introduction : Macular hole (MH) can cause severe visual disturbance, but remarkable progress has been achieved in surgical treatment for eyes with this condition. Vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling allows a very high success rate for MH closure (approaching 90%). To compare characteristics patients with closed and unclosed macular hole after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) surgery and internal limiting membran (ILM) peeling. Method : This was retrospective study which data was obtain from patient’s medical records who underwent PPV and ILM peeling since July 1st to December 31th 2018. Results : 27 eyes from 25 patients had MH surgery. 20 eyes (74%) had closed MH and 7 (26%) eyes unclosed MH after surgery. HFF value before surgery was 1,34 ± 0,90 and MHI was 1,09 ± 0,81 in closed MH. Meanwhile in unclosed MH, HFF value before surgery 0,53 ± 0,12 and MHI was 0,75 ±0,10. MHI ≥0,5 and HFF value ≥ 0,9 had a good prognostic factor. Conclusion : Despite of good prognostic factor from OCT measurement and achieve anatomical success, foveal microstructure also important in visual recovery after MH surgery.
