High Hyperopia

Purpose : To report the clinical and histopathological findings of a patient who had bilateral persistent pupillary membrane with exotropia and high hyperopia. Methods : Case Report: A 7-year-old boy presented with a persistent pupillary membrane in both eyes. His best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/20 in the right eye and 20/32 in the left eye with exotropia of 18 prism diopters. He underwent surgical resection of both membranes. At 5 months postoperatively, BCVA was 20/20 with final bilateral refraction of +6.5 D in both eyes. Exotropia and photophobia showed improvement immediately after surgery. Histopathological examination revealed typical features of normal iris tissue in the excised membranes. Conclusion : Bilateral persistent pupillary membranes were excised successfully without injury to other ocular tissues, including the crystalline lens. Surgical treatment may be required for the management of persistent pupillary membrane associated with visual impairment such as exotropia or photophobia.

Purpose: This case report discusses the management of a patient with a superior chorioretinal coloboma-associated retinal detachment (RD), including surgical management, along with a review of the literature. Methods: A case report is presented. Results: A 58-year-old man presented with a chronic RD of the right eye that was symptomatic for approximately 1 year prior to presentation. On examination, he was found to have a macula-off RD associated with superior chorioretinal coloboma. He underwent 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy with membrane peel, endolaser, and perfluoropropane (14%) gas tamponade. Three months after his surgery, his best-corrected visual acuity in his right eye was 20/250 distance and 20/80 near, and his retina remained attached. Conclusions: This case report describes surgical management of a superior chorioretinal coloboma-associated RD.

The purpose of this report is to describe a case of bilateral foveal hypoplasia in the absence of other ophthalmological or systemic manifestations. We characterize the case of a 9-year-old Caucasian male who underwent full ophthalmologic examination, including functional measures of vision and structural measurements of the eye. Best corrected visual acuity was 0.50 logMAR in the right eye and 0.40 logMAR in the left eye. Ophthalmoscopy revealed a lack of foveal reflex that was further investigated. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) confirmed the absence of foveal depression (pit). OCT images demonstrated the abnormal structure of retina in a region in which we expected a fovea; these findings were decisive to determine the cause of reduced acuity in the child.

Purpose: To report the morphological and clinical features of a case of pachychoroid disease with focal choroidal excavation and large choroidal excavation complicated by choroidal neovascularization. Methods: The patient underwent a complete ophthalmologic examination including best-corrected visual acuity assessment, anterior segment and dilated fundus examination, fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography, and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. Results: During the previous follow-up, the 57-year-old man received a diagnosis of central serous chorioretinopathy in the right eye with a late appearance of a choroidal neovascularization. The best-corrected visual acuity was 20/125 and 20/20 in the right and left eye, respectively. Dilated fundus examination, fluorescein angiography, and indocyanine green angiography confirmed a large subretinal fibrosis corresponding to the evolution of the choroidal neovascularization in the right eye. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography clearly demonstrated in the right eye a large choroidal excavation below the fibrotic neovascular lesion with multiple hyperreflective foci inside the cavity, and in the left eye, a conforming focal choroidal excavation, bowl-shape type, associated with increased choroidal thickness with pachyvessels. Conclusion: Large choroidal excavation has been rarely reported. Although the pathogenetic mechanisms leading to the formation of large choroidal excavation are still only hypotheses, a combination of primary degenerative inflammatory factors sustaining the focal choroidal excavation formation and disruptive process of the choroidal neovascularization could be retained responsible for the large choroidal excavation.

Introduction. To report a case of anterior sclera staphyloma and vitreous hemorrhage occurring over 38 years after bilateral cataract surgery.Methods. A 58-year-old man presented with anterior sclera staphyloma and vitreous hemorrhage in the right eye, after bilateral cataract surgery, over 38 years ago. We performed combined anterior sclera staphylectomy and vitrectomy of right eye for anterior sclera staphyloma and vitreous hemorrhage.Results. Forty-eight months after the combined surgery, best-corrected visual acuity was 0.3 (+10.00/−4.50 × 60) with eutopic stitches of the corneoscleral junction on the superior nasal quadrant and a stable ocular surface.Conclusions. This is the first reported case of anterior sclera staphyloma with vitreous hemorrhage successfully managed by combined surgery.

Abstract Background The chorioretinal inflammatory lesions occurring in punctate inner choroiditis evolve into punched-out atrophic scars. Typically, the progression is gradual. We report a case of highly myopic punctate inner choroiditis with rapid progression of chorioretinal atrophy. Case presentation A 48-year-old Japanese woman with high myopia presented with decreased visual acuity. Best-corrected visual acuity was 20/28 in the right eye and 20/16 in the left eye; axial length was 29.0 mm and 28.7 mm, respectively. Fundoscopy revealed an epiretinal membrane in the left eye. Three years later, the best-corrected visual acuity in the left eye had decreased to 20/33; at this time, the patient underwent vitrectomy with epiretinal membrane and internal limiting membrane peeling in this eye. Six months later, the best-corrected visual acuity in the left eye decreased suddenly to 20/100. Optical coherence tomography showed a nodule-like lesion in the outer retina with disruption of the retinal pigment epithelium and a focally thickened choroid, compatible with PIC. One month later, the choroidal thickness had decreased. The central chorioretinal atrophy expanded rapidly at a rate of 0.45 mm2/year over the next 3 years, and new areas of patchy focal chorioretinal atrophy developed in the perifovea. Conclusions Rapid progression of chorioretinal atrophy was observed in a patient with punctate inner choroiditis. Because punctate inner choroiditis is often associated with degenerative myopia, the retina is fragile and may be susceptible to mechanical damage. This case report alerts clinicians to the need for careful management of patients with punctate inner choroiditis, especially after vitrectomy.

Abstract Background This article is a case report of pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) which was diagnosed based on significant angioid streaks (AS) with choroidal neovascularization (CNV) and regain normal visual function by intravitreal injection with Conbercept. Case presentation A 51-year-old woman was referred to the Ophthalmology Department of Qingdao Municipal Hospital (Qingdao, China) on September 14, 2020 for metamorphopsia and loss of vision in the left eye in the preceding three days. Past history: high myopia for more than 30 years, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of both eyes was 1.0 (5 m Standard Logarithm Visual Acuity chart in decimal notations), hypertension for six years, and cerebral infarction two years ago, no history of ocular trauma or surgeries or similar patients in family was documented. We used methods for observation, including fundus examination, optical coherence tomography (OCT), fluorescein angiography combined with indocyanine green angiography (FFA + ICGA). Due to her symptoms and manifestations, along with the appearance of her neck skin, which resembled ‘chicken skin’, we speculated that she should be further examined at the Department of Dermatology by tissue paraffin section and molecular pathology analyses, and the diagnosis of PXE was then confirmed. After intravitreal injection with Conbercept (10 mg/ml, 0.2 ml, Chengdu Kanghong Biotechnologies Co., Ltd.; Chengdu, Sichuan, China) she regained her BCVA. Conclusions This patient regained her best corrected visual acuity through intravitreal injection with Conbercept. To the best of our knowledge, no publications are available on cases in which a vision loss and the normal visual function can be reverted by intravitreal injection with Conbercept. Although PXE is a disease with low incidence and thus no effective cure established, targeted symptomatic treatment can effectively retard the disease progression and improve visual function, such as intravitreal injection with Conbercept.

Background. Tilted disc syndrome (TDS) is a congenital anomaly characterized by “tilting” of the optic disc tipycally associated with myopic astigmatism, visual field defect, inferior staphyloma, and retinal pigment epithelium atrophy. Associated complications such as macular serous neuroretinal detachment are well described; however, ideal therapy for such complication is unknown.Methods. One interventional case report is hereby described. A patient affected by macular serous neuroretinal detachment-complicated tilted disk syndrome underwent a complete ophthalmic examination. Optical coherence tomography and fluorescein angiography were taken at baseline and at scheduled visits. Two intravitreal treatments of bevacizumab (avastin, 1.25 mg/0.05 mL) were performed at monthly interval.Results. At scheduled visit, one month after the second injection, OCT depicted persistence of neuroretinal detachment. Best-corrected visual acuity remain stable as well as metamorphopsia and functional discomfort.Conclusion. Clinical evidence of this brief interventional case report indicates that one patient affected by recent serous macular detachment-complicated TDS did not benefit from 2 consecutive monthly intravitreal Avastin treatments. Best-corrected visual acuity remained stable over a total observation period of 6 months.

Iol Dislocation

Luxation of intraocular lens in capsular bag several years after cataract surgery leads to a decrease in visual function and requires surgical treatment.Aim: to determine effectiveness of various types of surgical treatment of late spontaneous dislocations of IOL in capsular bag.Methods. Analysis of 123 case histories of patients with late IOL dislocation, operated in 2013–2015, was made. First group included patients with replaced IOLs dislocated into pupillary lens. Second group consisted of patients who underwent reposition and suture of IOL to iris. Examination was made before operation and 6–12 months after operation. Results. The average term from moment of IOL implantation to its luxation was 8.78 ± 4.85 years. II degree of dislocation was detected in 74 % of patients, III degree of dislocation – in 10 %, and IV degree – in 16 % of patients.Uncorrected visual acuity was reduced to 0.15 ± 0.16; best corrected visual acuity to 0.31 ± 0.26. In 83.7 % of patients a pseudoexfoliation syndrome was detected. In 62.6 % of patients IOL luxation was accompanied byhydrodynamic disturbances. Best corrected visual acuity in period from 6 to 12 months after surgery was 0.40 ± 0.24, and after IOL reposition – 0.49 ± 0.22. In addition, after IOL replacement a significant increase in postoperative astigmatism was noted from –0.44 ± 0.84 to –1.96 ± 1.60 D (p < 0.001).Conclusion. As a result of surgical treatment of late spontaneous IOL dislocations in both groups increase in distance uncorrected and best corrected visual acuity was noted. Insufficient visual functions after surgical treatment were caused by concomitant pathology as well as increased postoperative astigmatism.

Chorioretinal Degeneration

‘Perifoveal Exudative Vascular Anomalous Complex’ (PEVAC) is a perifoveal, unilateral, isolated, perifoveal aneurysm, in otherwise healthy patients. Here, we report a case of PEVAC in a highly myopic eye of a 86-year-old woman affected by a visual decline in the right eye (best-corrected visual acuity of 20/100). She had no other relevant past conditions and/or ocular impairment. Fundus examination in the right eye showed myopic chorioretinal degeneration with a concomitant PEVAC. Structural optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed a round lesion with a hyperreflective wall associated with intraretinal cystic spaces. OCT-angiography nicely disclosed an isolated large aneurysmal retinal dilation featuring the PEVAC with detectable flow in superficial capillary plexus, deep capillary plexus, and avascular slab. This case highlights the importance of discerning between different vascular disorders of the macula, in order to be able to offer the right treatment and/or follow-up to the patient.
