Retinal Telangiectasia

Retinal telangiectasia is a neuro-degenerative macular disease that is limited to juxtafoveal region in one or both eyes with capillary telangiectasia and focal retinal gliosis. Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is one of the main complications that cause visual deterioration in retinal telangiectasia. When patients develop CNV, rapid visual deterioration with subretinal hemorrhage, cystoid macular edema, hard exudates, disciform scar, and retinocoroidal anastomosis may occur. In our review article we discussed CNV in retinal telangiectasia and current treatment approaches.

<p class="abstract">Tonsillectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures performed by an otorhinolaryngologist. This surgery is done more in the pediatric age group. Although tonsillectomy is safe and effective surgery, it is usually associated with significant post-operative pain. Analgesics used for post-tonsillectomy pain is often inadequate. Severe throat pain following tonsillectomy has been documented for decades. Patients or parents/caretakers often worry about such severe pain in the home. The pain following tonsillectomy is usually intense and long-lasting. The severe post-tonsillectomy pain often overstrains the patient, family, and hospital staff. Regular changes in the analgesic armamentarium, particularly in pediatric patients are making the treatment of post-tonsillectomy pain more challenging. Pain following the tonsillectomy period continues to be a highly debated issue and an area of active research. Throat pain in the post-tonsillectomy period can result in significant morbidity among patients. There are different analgesics available; each one has its risk profile and side effects when used for controlling post-tonsillectomy pain. This review article discusses on recent management of post-tonsillectomy pain. This article reviews the epidemiology, pathophysiology, impact of post-tonsillectomy pain, and details of medications used for controlling post-tonsillectomy pain.</p>

Enhanced S Cone Syndrome

Introduction: We describe the youngest case of enhanced S-cone syndrome (ESCS) associated with choroidal neovascularization (CNV) successfully treated with intravitreal ranibizumab injections. Case Report: A 5-year-old boy presented with round-shaped fibrotic subretinal lesions in both eyes with surrounding subretinal fluid and progressive visual deterioration in the right eye. Fine foci of increased autofluorescence were observed along the arcades in both eyes. Fluorescein angiography revealed the presence of CNV in his right eye, and treatment with ranibizumab was initiated, with significant improvement in vision. Subsequent electroretinogram examination and genetic studies of the patient and his two younger siblings confirmed the diagnosis of ESCS. Conclusion: CNV has been reported to occur in different inherited retinal degenerations, including ESCS. Our experience confirms that treatment with ranibizumab in patients with CNV-complicated ESCS can be potentially vision-saving.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the 2nd most common neurodegenerative disorder due to gradual loss of dopaminergic nerves in the substantia nigra in the midbrain which leads to motor symptoms: For instance, gait dysfunction, involuntary tremor, rigidity, and progressive postural instability. PD has no cure and available current treatment is only symptomatic. At present, the main treatment of PD relies on Levodopa that slowing down the disease development to some level but can lead to several side effects. The literature confirms the available models of Parkinsonism that is chemical-induced, that is, by 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine and 6-hydroxydopamine-induced Parkinsonism furthermore transgenic models linked to monogenic alterations in SNCA, LRRK2, UCH-L1, PRKN, and PINK1 genes. In this review article, we conclude that the presently available neurotoxic models of PD that offer a platform for neuroprotective drug discovery.

Retinal Telangiectasia

Idiopathic peripheral retinal telangiectasia (IPT), often termed as Coats disease, can present in a milder form with the onset in adulthood. The goal of this case series study and literature review was to describe and classify different presenting forms and treatment of this entity and to review contemporary methods of its management. Six cases of adult onset IPT were described with the following phenotypes based on fundus ophthalmoscopy, fluorescein angiography, and optical coherence tomography findings: IPT without exudates or foveal involvement, IPT with peripheral exudates without foveal involvement, IPT with peripheral exudates and cystoid macular edema, and IPT with peripheral and macular hard exudates. Treatments applied in this series included observation, laser photocoagulation, and anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) treatment with variable outcomes depending upon the extent of IPT, the aggressiveness of laser treatment, and the stringency of follow-up. The accompanying literature review suggests that ablative therapies, especially laser photocoagulation, remain the most effective treatment option in adult-onset IPT, with anti-VEGF therapy serving as an adjuvant procedure. Close follow-up is necessary to achieve and maintain reasonable good visual and morphological results.

Choroidal Osteoma

Choroidal osteoma is a rare benign intraocular tumor composed of calcification throughout the choroid. Various treatment modalities are available according to location of the tumor and the cause of the visual distortion. We report herein a 30-year-old male who was referred to our hospital with acute blurred vision as a result of the subretinal hemorrhage from choroidal osteoma. We ruled out the presence of CNV and observation was preferred and we prevented unnecessary treatment attempts as spontaneous recovery is the easiest and safest way.
