Introduction: To report cases of retinal disorders that cause vitreous hemorrhage and the timing of pars plana vitrectomy in Cicendo Eye Hospital Methods: Retrospective observational study of all patients diagnosed with the vitreous hemorrhage who had undergone pars plana vitrectomy in 2016. Data were collected from medical record. Result: The mean age of this study is 54.65 years old from 260 vitreous hemorrhage patients. The most common retinal abnormalities are proliferative diabetic retinopathy (49.6%), wet age related macular degeneration (AMD) (13.5%), undetected retinal abnormalities (12.7%), retinal vein occlusion (8.8%), rhegmatogen retinal detachment (6.5%), trauma (3.45%), vasculitis (3.1%), idiopathic polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (3.1%), and drop IOL (1.2%). PPV performed 1-3 months after initial assessment (31.25%), less than 1 month (13.2%), more than 3 months (14.6%) Conclusion: The most common etiology of vitreous hemorrhage is proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Pars plana vitrectomy was performed 1 – 3 months after an initial assessment of the patients.
Tujuan : Untuk melaporkan aspek klinis, terapi, hasil terapi dan insiden dari endoftalmitis akut pasca operatif katarak di RSUD Dr. Saiful Anwar, Malang.Metode : Penelitian deskriptif analitik retrospektif yang menggunakan rekam medik dengan diagnosis endoftalmitis akut pasca operatif dari Januari 2015 - Desember 2018 di RSUD Dr. Saiful Anwar. Kami mencatat kasus endoftalmitis pasca operasi katarak yang terjadi dalam 6 minggu setelah operasi. Data yang dikumpulkan meliputi demografi, temuan klinis, hasil mikrobiologi, terapi dan komplikasi. Hasil : Didapatkan 31 kasus endoftalmitis akut pasca operatif, dimana 29 kasus merupakan rujukan. Dua puluh dua kasus pasca fakoemulsifikasi, 5 kasus pasca extra capsular cataract extraction dan 4 kasus pasca small incision cataract surgery. Lebih dari 50 % pasien adalah laki-laki (58,06 % ), berusia 61-70 tahun (38,7%) dan terjadi pada minggu pertama pasca operasi (45,2%). Penyakit penyerta meliputi diabetes mellitus (41,9%) dan hipertensi (32,3%).Terapi diberikan sesuai protokol Endophthalmitis Vitrectomy Study, diantaranya injeksi antibiotik intravitreal, vitrektomi, antibiotik sistemik dan topikal, kortikosteroid sistemik dan topikal. Didapatkan perbedaan signifikan antara visus sebelum dan setelah terapi (p=0.038), namun tidak didapatkan perbedaan antar kelompok terapi. Pada 9 kasus terjadi komplikasi, 2 diantaranya dilakukan eviserasi oleh karena perforasi kornea. Kesimpulan : Sebagian besar kasus endoftalmitis akut pasca operatif terjadi setelah fakoemulsifikasi, pada laki-laki, usia 61-70 tahun dan terjadi pada minggu pertama pasca operasi. Organisme terbanyak yang teridentifikasi adalah bakteri gram positif. Didapatkan perbaikan visus yang signifikan dengan pemberian terapi.
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.
Introduction: to report a case of PCV that has been successfully treated with intravitreal injection of t-PA, ranibizumab, and pneumatic displacement. Method: A 65 years old man presented with blurred vision of his right eye. No systemic abnormalities were found. Initial visual acuity RE was 6/18. Funduscopy examination showed submacular hemorrhage in posterior pole. OCTA, FA and ICG confirmed the diagnosis of PCV. We performed anterior chamber paracentesis and intravitreal injection of 0,05 ml t-PA, 0,05 ml ranibizumab, and 0,3 ml 100% C3F8 at a time in retrobulbar anesthesia. The patient was instructed to maintain face down positioning for 2 days. Results: We evaluated the visual acuity, central retinal thickness (CRT), and central pigment epithelial detachment (PED) thickness for 2 years. The visual acuity was increasing gradually from 6/18 to 6/6 in the first year. The hemorrhage was displaced completely, the CRT and central PED thickness were decreased. In the second year the patient had recurrence of PCV with serous retinal detachment and treated with intravitreal aflibercept. Conclusion: Combined treatment of intravitreal t-PA, ranibizumab, and C3F8 can be used as a beneficial therapy for PCV.
Introduction: To report a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who developed proliferative leukemic retinopathy with bilateral exudative retinal detachments and optic disc swelling. Case Report: A 11-year-old girl diagnosed with ALL-L2 on maintenance chemotherapy presented with severe blurred vision in both eyes for the past 1 year. Her visual acuity was 0,5/60 for both eyes. Slit-lamp examination of the anterior segment was found normal. Dilated fundus examination revealed tortuous retinal vessels, retinal haemorrhage, retinal and optic disc neovascularizations, optic disc with indistinct margins, and total retinal detachments in both eyes, as well as vitreous haemorrhage in the left eye. The ultrasonography examination revealed bilateral subretinal fluid. Discussion: The patient was diagnosed with bilateral proliferative leukemic retinopathy with exudative retinal detachments and infiltrative optic neuropathy, and left eye vitreous haemorrhage due to ALL. Conservative treatment was given. She continued the maintenance chemotherapy from pediatric department. After 2 months follow up, the visual acuity did not improve although retinal detachments were reduced. There were atrophic changes at the retina of her both eyes. Conclusion: It was reported a rare case of proliferative leukemic retinopathy with bilateral exudative retinal detachments and optic disc swelling. Early recognition and treatment is crucial to improve prognosis.
