Loss Of Visual Acuity

Blindness due to optic neuritis or panretinopathy has been reported as an acute complication of natural measles infection.5 Recently, loss of visual acuity following measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccination with the fundoscopic changes of optic neuritis has been described.6 We have observed a child with blindness due to diffuse neuroretinitis temporally associated with measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination and the development of a postvaccination measles syndrome. CASE REPORT A 16-month-old baby girl presented with acute loss of vision 16 days after routine measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination. The infant had been previously healthy and developmentally normal. She had received three previous oral polio and diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis vaccinations without adverse reactions.

COVID-19 illness is an evolving disorder, and many extrapulmonary manifestations have been reported. With this report, we are highlighting one of the neuro-ophthalmologic complications of Covid-19. We report a case of 16 years old boy who presented with complaints of rapid loss of vision and retroorbital pain in the Right eye during recovery from Covid -19 infection. Clinically, radiologically, CSF, Blood, and all other investigations suggest Probable Covid -19 Right Eye Optic Neuritis. The patient showed remarkable recovery following steroid therapy. This report aims to add a case to the limited literature available on Optic Neuritis following Covid-19 infection.

Background To report an unusual case of compressive optic neuropathy secondary to a large onodi air cell. Method Case report. Results A 50 year-old gentlemen presented to the eye clinic with left eye painless loss of vision for one day. Visual acuity was counting finger in the left eye with a positive relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD). Dilated left fundus examination revealed a pale optic disc. A computed tomography of orbit and brain showed a large left sphenoid sinus with onodi-cell-like projection on the left superior margin of left optic canal impinging on the left optic nerve. He was referred to the otorhinolaryngology team and subsequently underwent left optic nerve decompression. Post-operatively, his left visual acuity improved to 6/60 with reversal of RAPD. Conclusion There are many causes of optic neuropathy and compressive optic neuropathy due to large onodi air cell is uncommon. Acute unilateral loss of vision heralds from a multitude of sinister causes and junior residents should be vigilant that onodi air cell pneumotisation could be one of them.

AbstractBlue cone monochromatism (BCM) is a rare X-linked congenital vision disorder that is characterized by a cone dysfunction. We present a case of a 3-year-old boy referred to our department with abnormal eye movements since birth, impaired vision, and difficulties in distinguishing colors. A tendency to stare at the sun was noted. Examination revealed severe loss of visual acuity, high myopia, and opsoclonus. A mutation screening of OPN1LW/OPN1MW gene cluster was performed showing a nucleotide substitution encoding a Cys203Arg (C203R) missense mutation. The diagnosis of BCM in this case was clear and the patient harbored the most frequent genetic alteration. Opsoclonus and continued voluntary light exposure are novel features that have not been previously reported in BCM.

We report a case of severe toxoplasmosis in an immunocompetent patient, characterized by pneumonia, retinochoroiditis, hepatitis and myositis. Diagnosis was confirmed by serology, T. gondii in thick blood smear and presence of bradyzoites in muscle biopsy. Treatment with pyrimethamine plus sulfadoxine was successful but visual acuity and hip extension were partially recovered. This is the first case report of severe toxoplasmosis in an immunocompetent patient from Peru.
