Abstract

Introduction: To evaluate whether the combination of diclofenac eye drops and bevacizumab intravitreal injection would provide additional benefits over bevacizumab alone in the treatment of naïve diabetic macular edema (DME). Methods: A total of 43 patients were enrolled consecutively and randomized into two groups to receive combination treatment with intravitreal bevacizumab and topical diclofenac (group 1) or bevacizumab alone (group 2). Group 1 patients received single bevacizumab intravitreal injection and got self-administered diclofenac eye drop four times daily for one month. Group 2 patients received single bevacizumab intravitreal injection alone. Outcome data were obtained from patient visits at baseline and at 1 month after bevacizumab intravitreal injection. All patients underwent measurement of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), a complete eye examination, and measurement of central macular thickness (CMT). Result: The mean reduction in CMT in the combination group was 130.42±32.57 µm (p<0.01), while in the bevacizumab alone group the reduction was 141.38±45.27 µm (p<0.01), there is no significant difference between the two groups (p=0.866). The mean improvement of BCVA was 0.32±0.10 log Mar in the combination group and 0.26±0.12 in group 2, there is no significant difference between the two groups (p=0.691). There was no adverse ocular event in the two groups. Conclusion: In patients with naïve DME, adding diclofenac eye drop as adjuvant of bevacizumab intravitreal injection are less likely to have a meaningful effect on reducing the central macular thickness. Keywords: Diabetic macular edema, NSAID, diclofenac, anti-VEGF, bevacizumab, central macular thickness

Abstract

Introduction: To present the clinical findings of Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) Retinopathy and its rapid resolutions following treatment with steroid. Case report: A 14-year-old female patient presented with decreased vision in the left eye. There was history of AIHA. Visual acuity was 1/60 in LE and 6/6 in RE. There was conjunctival pallor, and the other anterior segment were unremarkable. Fundus examination of left eye revealed flame shaped and dot blot hemorrhage, roth’s spots, optic disc swelling, venous turtuosity, and elevated macula. There were afferent pupil defect, red green deficiency, and contrast sensitivity decline. Hematological evaluation revealed anemia. A MRI Head and Orbital examination were unremarkable. Discussion: This patient was assessed with LE Anemic retinopathy due to AIHA. The patient’s visual acuity improved as the retinopathy resolved after 1 month of oral steroid therapy. Conclusion: Anemia may play a role in the occurrence of retinopathy. The diagnosis of retinopathy can be made by linking ophthalmic fndings with positive serological test. Accurate comprehensive examination can establish the systemic diagnosis, and control of systemic parameters will improve retinopathy, reverse vision loss, and avoid permanent blindness

Abstract

Introduction: Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH)is defined as increase in intracranial pressure due to unspecified causes leading to headache, papilledema, and transient vision loss. Usually the patients present with mild visual loss but about 25% may develop permanent visual loss due to irreversible optic disc damage. One rare cause of severe visual loss is subretinal hemorrhage (SRH) due to underlying Subretinal Neovascular membrane. Case Report: We report a case of a 36-year-old man diagnosed with IIH and papilloedema with sudden onset profound visual loss in his right eye. On examination, there was a large peripapillary SRH superior to the disc and involving the macula.We stress the importance of recognizing this uncommon complication of papilledema and discuss the possible causes for developing SRH, its most common outcome and the diagnostic as well as treatment modalities available. Discussion: We stress the importance of recognizing this uncommon complication of papilledema and discuss the possible causes for developing SRH, its most common outcome and the diagnostic as well as current treatment modalities available. Conclusion: This report highlights a rare case of spontaneous sub retinal haemorrhage in a patient with IIH. Measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter can be a vital tool for the diagnosis of raised intracranial pressure in this setting.

Abstract

Introduction: Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a highly specific microvascular complication of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) that can cause significant visual impairment in adult populations worldwide. The risk of having and/or developing DR is influenced by many systemic features. Identification and management of particular systemic risk factors as early as possible during the course of DM might lower incidence of further progression and severity of DR. The aim of this study is to describe the correlation between systemic risk factors and DR in patients with DM in Cicendo National Eye Hospital on December 1st 2017 – January 31st 2018. Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study. The subjects were all patients diagnosed with DR based on ophthalmology examination at outpatient clinic of Vitreoretinal Division in Cicendo National Eye Hospital. The data were analyzed using chi-square (x2) with significances of p < 0.05. Result: Seventy-one eyes were included in this study, among of which has been classified as mild NPDR (n= 1), moderate NPDR (n= 9), severe NPDR (n= 27), and PDR (n= 34). Severe NPDR group had older age distribution at range 51-60 years old (n= 18, 66.7%, p = 0.001). Stage 1 hypertension was found to be dominant in PDR group (n= 18, 66.7%, p = 0.043). Both high total serum cholesterol group (n= 27, 76.5%, p = 0.048) and high fasting blood glucose (n= 27, 79.4%, p = 0.01) were significantly present in patients with PDR. Positive (+1) urine glucose was statistically significant in PDR group. Conclusion: There were several systemic risk factors from laboratory findings correlated in patient with DR in this study, however further study is needed to determine their role for predicting progression and severity of DR.

Abstract

Abstract Background: The incidence of nucleus drop or intraocular lens (IOL) drop as the complication of phacoemulsification increases due to the increased frequency of phacoemulsification. Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) followed by endofragmentation and secondary IOL implantation is the choice of procedure for management. This study aims to determine the frequency, outcomes, and complication of PPV in the case of nucleus drop or IOL drop in the Department of Ophthalmology, Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Indonesia – Rumah Sakit Cipto Mangunkusumo (FKUI-RSCM) Methods: This study is a retrospective descriptive study conducted in the Vitreoretinal Division of the Department of Ophthalmology, FKUI - RSCM. Research data was taken from the medical records of all nucleus drop or IOL drop patients underwent PPV in January 2017-December 2017. Results: There were 19 cases studied. The incidence of nucleus drop occurred in phacoemulsification surgery techniques (94.7%) and ECCE techniques (5.3%). Vitrectomy surgery was performed ≤2 weeks in 31.6% and >2 weeks in 68.4% after the patient first arrived at the vitreoretinal clinic. Most pre-PPV visual acuity was 1/60-6/60 (47.1%). In the final follow-up, visual acuity improved from 6/45 to 6/6 occurred in 42.2% of cases. Complication after PPV and secondary IOL implantation include elevated IOP (10.5%), IOL decentration (5.3%), corneal decompensation (5.3%), macular edema (5.3%), and retinal detachment (5.3%). Conclusion: Nucleus drop or IOL drop generally occurs in phacoemulsification cataract surgery techniques. Improved visual acuity was achieved after PPV and secondary IOL implantation at the end of the follow-up period. Most common post-PPV complication is elevated IOP.

Abstract

Introduction: Several electrodes can be used in standard full-field electroretinography (ERG). However, there are no standard values for Indonesians yet. Therefore, this research aims to establish normal values, to compare them and to compare comfort levels using DTL, Dencott and Jet electrodes in Indonesian adults. Method: Through convenient sampling, 58 normal Indonesian subjects, age 19-49 years old were selected. ERG amplitudes and implicit time values were measured according to recommendations by the International Society for Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision (ISCEV). Evaluations consisted of scotopic 0.01, 3.0, OP and photopic 3.0 flicker. After examination, all subjects filled in a questionnaire about comfort levels, adopted from the visual analog scale. Result: We observed a statistically significant difference in ERG normal values between electrodes with higher wave amplitudes and longer implicit times in Dencott and jet electrodes, compared to DTL electrodes. Jet and DTL electrodes are more comfortable than Dencott electrodes for Indonesian adults in standard full-field electroretinography. Conclusion: DTL electrodes give the lowest wave amplitudes and the shortest implicit times and are the most comfortable electrode compared to Dencott and ERG jet electrodes, in standard full-field electroretinography in Indonesian adults.

Abstract

Introduction: Pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil injection has become a standard procedure to treat retinal detachment with complex cases. Considerations related to the use of silicone oil are the need for additional surgical procedures to remove silicone oil after the retinal condition is declared stable or because emulsification of silicone oil has occurred. Methods: An analytical observational study with a cross-sectional approach. Data were collected retrospectively by collecting medical records of patients who underwent silicone oil evacuation in 2021. Result: The research subjects were 23 people, where 52.2% of the subjects were women with a median age of 51 years. Most of the subjects (65.2%) had no complications, with the most complications occurring were secondary glaucoma (13%) and redetached retina (13%). There was no statistically significant difference between visual acuity before and after the evacuation of silicone oil with a P value of 0.202 and there was no statistically significant difference between IOP before and after evacuation of silicone oil with a P value of 0.132. Conclusion: Evacuation of silicone oil is a follow-up action after PPV with SO tamponade. Complications which may arise are detach dan glaucoma. There was no significant difference in visual acuity and IOP before and after SO evacuation.

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.
