NATURAL HISTORY OF MACROPHAGE INFILTRATION OF CORONARY LIPID-RICH PLAQUES DETECTED BY OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY AT BASELINE, 6-MONTH AND 12-MONTH FOLLOW-UP

Purpose: To investigate the natural history of idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM) in eyes with good visual function using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods: Sixty-two eyes of 58 patients with idiopathic ERM, visual acuity of 20/40 or better, and no significant metamorphopsia were included. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central macular thickness (CMT), membrane configuration, and ellipsoid zone signal data over 24 months were retrospectively analyzed. Based on OCT findings, ERM configurations were categorized as global attachment (GA), partial attachment (PA), pseudohole, and vitreomacular traction (VMT). Results: The mean BCVA and CMT did not change significantly between baseline and 24 months. GA, PA, pseudohole, and VMT types were observed in 33, 19, 9, and 1 eye at baseline, and in 20, 22, 10, and 1 eye at 24 months, respectively. A membrane configuration change was noted in 24 eyes (38.7%) during follow-up, and the distribution shifted from GA to the other types (p < 0.001). Six eyes had visual loss due to membrane progression, and 4 eyes had spontaneous membrane separation. Of the 10 eyes with progression or separation, 6 were of the PA type. Conclusions: Although the BCVA remains stable over 2 years in most idiopathic ERM eyes with good visual function at baseline, the membrane configuration may change, affecting visual acuity. The GA type would be an early stage, and the PA type is prone to changes in visual acuity.

Macular Hole Formation

Purpose: We report a case of recurrent macular hole (MH) formation and spontaneous closure in the absence of any vitreoretinal interface abnormality. Methods: A 49-year-old man presented for his annual ocular examination with no specific ocular complaints. He had a history of retinal detachment in the left eye, which was treated years prior with vitrectomy and scleral buckle. During a routine follow-up, the patient was discovered to have a full-thickness MH. Optical coherence tomography revealed the formation of an MH with spontaneous closure after 3 months without intervention. One month later, the MH recurred but once again closed spontaneously over 4 months. Results: The patient remained asymptomatic during the entire follow-up without any symptoms, vision changes, or therapeutic intervention. Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first known case report of recurrent spontaneous opening and closure of an MH in the absence of any vitreoretinal interface abnormality, as revealed by macular optical coherence tomography imaging.

Significance: Perifoveal exudative vascular anomalous complex (PEVAC) is a unique clinical lesion. It manifests as isolated lesions and is easily misdiagnosed. Thus far, few PEVAC case reports have been published. PEVAC is typically inconsistent with other reported macular lesions.Purpose: To report our 24-month follow-up experience on the treatment of PEVAC with a micropulse laser (MPL).Case Report: A 56-year-old Chinese woman with no history of other diseases complained of decreased vision in her left eye that had persisted for more than 1 year. Comprehensive ophthalmic examinations were performed, including a vision test, slit lamp fundus exam, optical coherence tomography (OCT), optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A), fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA) and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA). Intravitreal injection of ranibizumab was ineffective, and bleeding, exudation and visual acuity were not improved. After two rounds of micropulse laser (MPL) treatment, the patient was followed up, and the prognosis was good.Conclusion: PEVAC is very rare, and early diagnosis is important, as the lesions readily cause irreversible damage. Our results indicate that an MPL can be used as an alternative treatment for PEVAC patients.

Introduction.To describe anatomical and functional features in one patient with 10 years of severe vitreomacular traction syndrome (VTS) without functional damage demonstrated by optical coherence tomography (OCT).Patient and Methods.One patient with a history of 10 years VTS, with best-corrected visual acuity of 20/32, was followed up with OCT. Follow-up examinations, 3 months for the first year after diagnosis and every 6 months for the subsequent years, were performed.Results.Follow-up examinations showed no change anatomically and functionally. Far and near visual acuity was unchanged. OCT by Heidelberg Spectralis did not evidence differences from Stratus OCT images.Conclusion.VTS can be stable anatomically and functionally for 10 years. OCT is a valuable diagnostic tool in understanding the configuration of vitreomacular adhesion, followup, and eventually planning the surgical approach for operating on VTS.

Choroidal Folds

Choroidal folds present as parallel bright and dark lines, which may be detected with funduscopy. Optical coherence tomography, red free fundus photography, autofluorescence and fluorescein angiography may be also helpful to establish the diagnosis. The authors present the case of a 70-year-old male who was evaluated because of a 1-month history of blurred vision on his right eye. Dilated fundus examination revealed choroidal folds in both eyes, which failed to affect visual acuity. No neurogical pathologies were found. There was no change in the patient condition durind a follow-up period of 6 months. The authors note that choroidal folds are often not recognized because they are usually asymptomatic. There are several possible causes which should be considered. The diagnosis of idiopathic choroidal folds is based on the exclusion of other pathologies. Observation of the patient’s visual acuity and monitoring for fundus changes are needed. Orv. Hetil., 2014, 155(27), 1083–1086.
