ABSTRACT

Fundamento: La ultrasonografía del diámetro de la vaina del nervio óptico ha sido utilizada como medidor no invasivo de la presión intracraneal. Una de las deficiencias enunciadas resulta, la no existencia de un valor estándar, que sugiera el límite entre la normalidad y la hipertensión intracraneal. Objetivo: Determinar el diámetro de la vaina del nervio óptico mediante ecografía en voluntarios sanos. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio ecológico de poblaciones múltiples en 160 voluntarios sanos que cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión. Se realizaron 3 mediciones ultrasonográficas en modo B en cada ojo, se tomó como valor final el promedio. Las variables estudiadas fueron: edad, sexo, color de la piel y diámetro de la vaina del nervio óptico. Se calculó el porcentaje, media, mediana, límite y estándar. Con un valor de referencia al 95 % del intervalo de confianza. La relación entre las variables se determinó mediante análisis de regresión logística simple con el paquete estadístico de SPSS 22.0. Resultados: El diámetro de la vaina del nervio óptico, en los sujetos, se cuantificó entre 4,62 - 4,80 mm y 4,66 - 4,83 mm para los ojos derecho e izquierdo respectivamente. Al análisis de regresión lineal simple, solo el sexo se asoció al valor del diámetro de la vaina del nervio óptico (p= 0,000). Conclusiones: En una población de voluntarios sanos el valor del diámetro de la vaina del nervio óptico fue similar a otras descripciones, con diferencias entre el sexo, lo cual sugiere tomar en consideración esta variable al hacer la medición.


Foundation: Ultrasonography of the diameter of the optic nerve sheath has been used as a non-invasive measure of intracranial pressure. One of the deficiencies stated is the non-existence of a standard value that suggests the limit between normality and intracranial hypertension. Objective: Determine the diameter of the optic nerve sheath using ultrasound in healthy volunteers. Methods: A multi-population ecological study was conducted on 160 healthy volunteers who met the inclusion criteria. Three ultrasonographic measurements were performed in B mode in each eye, the average was taken as the final value. The variables studied were: age, sex, skin color and diameter of the optic nerve sheath. The percentage, mean, median, limit and standard were calculated. With a reference value at the 95% confidence interval. The relationship between the variables was determined by simple logistic regression analysis with the SPSS 22.0 statistical package. Results: That diameter of the optic nerve sheath, in the subjects, was quantified between 4.62 - 4.80 mm and 4.66 - 4.83 mm for the right and left eyes respectively. In the simple linear regression analysis, only sex was associated with the value of the diameter of the optic nerve sheath (p= 0.000). Conclusions: In a population of healthy volunteers, the value of the diameter of the optic nerve sheath was similar to other descriptions, with differences between sex, which suggests taking this variable into consideration when making the measurement.

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the protective effect in a model of nicotinamide riboside(NR)against carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone(CCCP)-induced oxidative stress in R28 cells.Methods 4 μmol/L CCCP was used to induce oxidative stress in R28 cells,and 400 nmol/L NR was used to intervene.The cell viability was quantified by CCK-8 assay.The apoptosis was detected by Annexin-V/PI double staining and flow cytometry.Western blotting was used to examine the levels of Cytochrome C,Caspase-3,and Caspase-9 to evaluate the apoptosis.Tetramethylrhodamine ethyl ester was used to detect the mitochondrial membrane potential(MMP),MitoSOX was used to detect the mitochondrial reactive oxygen species(mtROS)levels,and adenosine triphosphate(ATP)assay kit was used to assess ATP generation ability to evaluate mitochondrial function.Results After CCCP treatment of R28 cells,the cell viability decreased,the apoptotic protein levels and apoptosis rates increased,the MMP decreased,and the mtROS generation increased(P<0.05).After NR pretreatment,the cell viability increased,the apoptotic protein levels and apoptosis rates decreased,the MMP increased,and the mtROS generation decreased(P<0.05).Conclusion:NR enhances the cell viability,reduces the expression of apoptotic proteins,and ultimately reduces the apoptosis of retinal ganglion cell by inhibiting oxidative stress response and protecting mitochondrial function.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT We present an unusual case of a 13-year-old male pediatric patient with a diagnosis of sphenoid sinus mucocele. The patient suffered a progressive loss of visual acuity over three months followed by a total recovery of his visual acuity after surgery. The patient presented at the emergency room complaining of progressive loss of visual acuity in his left eye which decreased to hand motion over the preceding months. Imaging studies revealed a cystic mass, suggestive of sphenoid sinus mucocele, which was causing compressive optic neuropathy and proptosis. The patient was scheduled for a sphenoidectomy and resection of the mass. Three days after surgery, the patient's visual acuity in the left eye was 20/20, indicating complete recovery from his symptoms. We suggest that the excellent outcome in this patient may be attributable to his age. His ongoing physical development might have been the decisive factor in the recovery of his visual acuity following compressive optic neuropathy secondary to sphenoid sinus mucocele. Further research is needed to verify this proposed explanation.


RESUMO Apresentamos um caso incomum de paciente pediátrico com diagnóstico de mucocele de seio esfenoidal, que apresentou perda progressiva da acuidade visual ao longo de três meses, resultando em recuperação total da acuidade visual após a cirurgia. Paciente do sexo masculino, 13 anos, procurou o pronto-socorro, queixando-se de perda progressiva da acuidade visual do olho esquerdo nos últimos três meses. Exames de imagem revelaram uma massa cística sugestiva de mucocele de seio esfenoidal, causando neuropatia óptica compressiva e proptose. O paciente foi agendado para esfenoidectomia e ressecção da massa. Três dias após a cirurgia, a acuidade visual do paciente no olho esquerdo era de 20/20, apresentando recuperação completa dos sintomas. Diante dos resultados de nosso paciente, sugerimos que a idade do paciente pode ser decisiva na recuperação da acuidade visual de uma neuropatia óptica compressiva secundária à mucocele de seio esfenoidal. Mais pesquisas são necessárias para verificação desses dados.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT A 71-year-old woman presented a non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy in an optic nerve with previously registered superonasal peripapillary myelinated nerve fibers. Her past medical history was significant for controlled systemic hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes mellitus. The physiologic cup was absent in both optic discs. Non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy mainly affected the temporal and inferior sectors of the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer, as could be demonstrated by retinal nerve fiber layer optical coherence tomography and optic disc optical coherence tomography angiography. Unlike other published reports, just a slight regression of the myelinated nerve fibers was observed after 1 year of follow-up. This occurred because ischemia mainly affected the temporal and inferior peripapillary sectors, whereas myelinated nerve fibers were superonasal to the optic disc.


RESUMO Uma mulher de 71 anos de idade apresentou neuropatia óptica isquêmica anterior não arterítica no nervo óptico com fibras nervosas peripapilares mielinizadas previamente registradas. Seu histórico médico foi significativo para hipertensão arterial sistêmica controlada, hiperlipidemia e diabetes mellitus. Em ambos os discos ópticos, a tacícula fisiológica esteve ausente. A neuropatia óptica isquêmica anterior não arterítica afetou principalmente os setores temporal e inferior da camada de fibras nervosas da retina peripapilar, como demonstrado pela tomografia de coerência óptica da camada de fibras nervosas da retina e pela angiotomografia de coerência óptica do disco óptico. Ao contrário de outros relatórios publicados, apenas uma ligeira regressão das fibras nervosas mielinizadas foi observada após um ano de acompanhamento. Isto pode ser explicado pelo fato da isquemia ter afetado principalmente os setores temporal e inferior peripapilares, enquanto as fibras nervosas de mielina eram nasal superior ao disco óptico.

ABSTRACT

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to investigate whether the measurement of mean optic nerve sheath diameter in patients with transient ischemic attack could be used to distinguish between control groups, the acute ischemic stroke group, and subgroups within the acute ischemic stroke category. METHODS: Retrospectively, the mean optic nerve sheath diameters of patients aged 18 years and older belonging to control, transient ischemic attack, acute ischemic stroke, and subgroups within the acute ischemic stroke category were measured with initial computed tomography conducted in the emergency department. RESULTS: Out of the 773 patients included in the study, 318 (41.1%) were in the control group, 77 (10%) had transient ischemic attack, and 378 (49%) were categorized as stroke patients. The average mean optic nerve sheath diameter was significantly higher in both the stroke and transient ischemic attack groups compared with the control group (p<0.001 for both comparisons). Furthermore, the mean optic nerve sheath diameter in the stroke subgroups was significantly higher than in both the transient ischemic attack and control groups (p<0.001 for all comparisons). In transient ischemic attack patients, the mean optic nerve sheath diameter showed a significant ability to predict transient ischemic attack (AUC=0.913, p<0.001), with a calculated optimal cutoff value of 4.72, sensitivity of 94.8%, and specificity of 73.9%. CONCLUSION: The mean optic nerve sheath diameter of patients in the transient ischemic attack group was lower compared with those in the stroke subgroups but higher compared with the control group.

ABSTRACT

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: It has been suggested that diseases that may cause visual evoked potential abnormality, such as optic neuritis, may be associated with the coronavirus disease 2019. This study aimed to find out whether there are visual evoked potential abnormalities in coronavirus disease 2019 patients using pattern reversal visual evoked potential and flash visual evoked potential. METHODS: Patients with a history of coronavirus disease 2019 (coronavirus disease 2019 patients) and controls were included in this prospective case-control study. This study was conducted in the Clinical Neurophysiology Laboratory of Adana City Training and Research Hospital. Individuals without visual impairment were included. Coronavirus disease 2019 patients were required to have clinical features consistent with previous acute infection and a positive nose swab polymerase chain reaction test. Visual evoked potential was applied to coronavirus disease 2019 patients between July 2020 and July 2021. Controls consisted of patients without a history of chronic disease who underwent a visual evoked potential study between June 2017 and June 2018 due to headache or dizziness. Pattern reversal visual evoked potential and flash visual evoked potential were applied to all participants. N75, P100, and N135 waves obtained from pattern reversal visual evoked potential and P1, N1, P2, N2, P3, and N3 waves obtained from flash visual evoked potential were analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 44 coronavirus disease 2019 patients and 40 controls were included in the study. Age and gender were not different between the two groups. Pattern reversal visual evoked potential parameters were not different between the two groups. Right P2 latency was 114.4±21.1 and 105.5±14.7 ms in coronavirus disease 2019 patients and controls, respectively (p=0.031). Patients with P100 and P2 wave abnormalities were 6 (13.6%) and 13 (29.6%), respectively. CONCLUSION: This study showed that there may be visual evoked potential abnormalities in coronavirus disease 2019 patients.

ABSTRACT

AIM: To observe the changes of macular retinal structure and microcirculation in patients with pituitary adenoma(PA)by optical coherence tomography(OCT)and optical coherence tomography angiography(OCTA).METHODS: Cross-sectional study. A total of 40 PA patients treated at the department of neurosurgery, Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University from September 2021 to March 2023 were included as PA group, and 42 age- and gender-matched healthy volunteers were selected as normal control group. All patients underwent visual field, OCT and OCTA examinations, and the correlation of ocular parameters in PA patients was analyzed.RESULTS:The vessel density(VD)of each retinal layer in the macular area of the PA group was lower than that of the normal control group, and the superficial vascular complex(SVC)-VD in the macular area was positively correlated with the thickness of the macular ganglion cell complex(mGCC)(except the nasal side of the inner ring and the lower part of the outer ring; P&#x0026;#x003C;0.05). The thickness of mGCC in each quadrant of the macular area and the thickness of the circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer(CP-RNFL)in each quadrant were negatively correlated with the mean defect(MD)value of the visual field(P&#x0026;#x003C;0.05), and the area of the foveal avascular zone(FAZ)was positively correlated with the MD value(P&#x0026;#x003C;0.05).CONCLUSION:The combination of OCT and OCTA can fully understand the microscopic changes of retinal structure and microcirculation function in PA patients, which is of great value in evaluating the preoperative visual function of PA patients.

ABSTRACT

Dysthyroid optic neuropathy is an important secondary pathological condition of thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy, characterized clinically by several clinical manifestations, including reduced visual acuity, impairment of color vision, relative afferent pupillary defect, and optic disk edema or atrophy. Ophthalmological auxiliary examination shows abnormal vision field and visual evoked potential, etc., and imagining examination shows orbital apex crowding, which can assist diagnosis. The pathogenesis of this disease is still unclear. With previous studies proposing that it was related to optic nerve compression, stretch, and ischemia. Treatment methods include high-dose intravenous glucocorticoid, orbital decompression, orbital radiation therapy, and biological agent. This article systematically reviews the research progress on the epidemiological characteristics, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of this disease, with a view to providing useful reference for future in-depth clinical practice and scientific research.

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the application value of ultrasonic measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter(ONSD)and cerebral blood flow parameters in intracranial hypertension caused by AIDS cryptococ-cal meningitis.Methods A total of 27 patients with cryptococcal meningitis diagnosed by Chongqing Public Health Medical Center from February to July,2022 were included.All patients were examined with ultrasound measurement of ONSD and ultrasound measurement of cerebral blood flow of intracranial middle cerebral ar-tery(MCA),including peak systolic velocity(PSV),end diastolic velocity(EDV),peak systolic velocity/end diastolic velocity(S/D)and resistance index(RI),and then lumbar puncture was performed and intracranial pressure(ICP)was recorded.The ICP≥200 mmH2O was defined as the ICP increased group,ICP<200 mmH2O was defined as the ICP normal group,and 17 AIDS patients without complications were selected as the control group.The baseline data,ONSD and MCA cerebral blood flow parameters of the three groups were compared,and the statistically significant indexes were correlated with ICP,and the receiver operating charac-teristic(ROC)curve of the subjects was drawn to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of ONSD value in predicting intracranial hypertension caused by AIDS cryptococcal meningitis.Results There were no significant differ-ences in gender,age,systolic blood pressure or diastolic blood pressure among the ICP increased group,the ICP normal group and the control group(P>0.05).There were no significant differences in PSV,EDV,S/D and RI among the three groups of MCA(P>0.05),but there was significant difference in ONSD among the three groups(P<0.05).There was a positive correlation between ICP and ONSD in the patients with AIDS cryptococcal meningitis(P<0.01,r=0.736).The ROC curve analysis showed that when the ONSD cutoff value was 3.965 mm,it predicted the highest efficacy of intracranial high pressure in the patients with AIDS cryptococcal meningitis.The area under the ROC curve was 0.90(95%CI:0.714-1.000,P=0.001),the sensitivity was 90%,and the specificity was 100%.Conclusion Ultrasonic measurement of ONSD can effec-tively predict ICP in patients with AIDS cryptococcal meningitis and guide clinical decompression measures in time,which is worthy of clinical application.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the value of ultrasonic measurement of the ratio of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) to eyeball transverse diameter(ETD) in the diagnosis and prognosis of intracranial hypertension in patients with craniocerebral trauma.Methods:A total of 120 patients with craniocerebral trauma treated in the Xingtai General Hospital of North China Medical and Health Group from December 2021 to January 2023 were perspectively selected, and they were divided into normal intracranial pressure group (73 cases) and intracranial hypertension group (47 cases) according to the results of intracranial pressure measurements, and the intracranial hypertension group was divided into good prognosis group (20 cases) and poor prognosis group (27 cases) according to the follow-up prognosis. The efficacy of ONSD, ETD and ONSD/ETD in intracranial hypertension diagnosis and prognosis assessment were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Kaplan-Meier method was used to evaluate the 6-month risk of adverse prognosis of patients, and the comparison was made by Log-rank test.Results:The levels of intracranial pressure, ONSD, ONSD/ETD in the normal intracranial pressure group were lower than those in the intracranial hypertension group: (130.73 ± 23.63) mmH 2O (1 mmH 2O = 0.009 8 kPa) vs. (270.11 ± 35.78) mmH 2O, (5.47 ± 0.29) mm vs. (5.78 ± 0.44) mm, 0.246 ± 0.018 vs. 0.263 ± 0.018, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The scores of Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), intracranial pressure, ONSD, ONSD/ETD in the good prognosis group were lower than those in the poor prognosis group: (5.50 ± 1.24) scores vs. (6.41 ± 1.34) scores, (256.15 ± 30.23) mmH 2O vs. (280.44 ± 36.56) mmH 2O, (5.62 ± 0.40) mm vs. (5.90 ± 0.44) mm, 0.254 ± 0.014 vs. 0.270 ± 0.017, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). ROC curve analysis results showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of ONSD and ONSD/ETD for diagnosing intracranial hypertension in patients with craniocerebral trauma were 0.718 and 0.765, respectively, and the critical values were 5.87 mm and 0.263, respectively. The AUC of ONSD and ONSD/ETD predicting prognosis of intracranial hypertension patients was 0.677 and 0.763, respectively, and the critical values were 5.90 mm and 0.267, respectively. Grouped by the threshold of ONSD/ETD for the prognosis of intracranial hypertension (0.267), the incidence of adverse prognosis in ONSD/ETD > 0.267 group was higher than that in the ONSD/ETD≤0.267 group, there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). Conclusions:ONSD/ETD can be used as an index for diagnosis and prognosis of intracranial hypertension.

ABSTRACT

A proptose do globo ocular é uma das consequências comuns do trauma e a enucleação é um procedimento de escolha em caso de impossibilidade de reversão do quadro. Nota-se a infrequência de relatos de enucleação do globo ocular resultante de proptose traumática, o que torna importante a descrição deste caso, a qual objetiva fornecer relevantes informações e contribuições para o desenvolvimento da oftalmologia e clínica cirúrgica veterinária. Uma cadela filhote foi atendida no HVU - UFPI/CPCE, apresentando o globo ocular direito prolapsado. A enucleação foi selecionada em decorrência do intervalo prolongado entre a detecção da lesão e a busca por assistência médica, da presença de uma alta carga de corpos estranhos observados e da ausência de reflexos pupilares. A cirurgia iniciou-se com a cantotomia seguida da dissecação da musculatura do globo ocular. Foi realizado o pinçamento dos vasos sanguíneos e do nervo óptico, e fez-se a ressecção do globo ocular. Depois de uma ligadura invaginante e redução do espaço morto, removeu-se as bordas palpebrais e realizou-se a blefarorrafia. Cerca de 40 dias após a enucleação, a cadela apresentou-se estável e com uma evolução cicatricial satisfatória do ferimento cirúrgico. Esse procedimento, foi realizado de forma semelhante ao que é visto na literatura, embora, majoritariamente, seja recomendada a enucleação em decorrência de afecções diferentes da proptose traumática.(AU)


Proptosis of the eyeball is one of the common consequences of trauma and enucleation is the procedure of choice if it is impossible to reverse the condition. There are few reports of enucleation of the eyeball resulting from traumatic proptosis, which makes it important to describe this case, which aims to provide relevant information and contributions to the development of ophthalmology and veterinary surgical practice. A female puppy was seen at the HVU - UFPI/CPCE, presenting with a prolapsed right eyeball. Enucleation was selected due to the prolonged interval between detecting the lesion and seeking medical assistance, the presence of a high foreign body burden and the absence of pupillary reflexes. Surgery began with canthotomy followed by dissection of the eyeball muscles. The blood vessels and optic nerve were clamped and the eyeball was resected. After an invaginating ligature and reduction of the dead space, the eyelid edges were removed and blepharorrhaphy was performed. Around 40 days after enucleation, the dog was stable and had satisfactory healing of the surgical wound. This procedure was carried out in a similar way to that seen in the literature, although enucleation is mostly recommended for conditions other than traumatic proptosis.(AU)


La proptosis del globo ocular es una de las consecuencias comunes de los traumatismos y la enucleación es el procedimiento de elección si es imposible revertir la condición. Existen pocos relatos de enucleación del globo ocular resultante de proptosis traumática, lo que torna importante la descripción de este caso, que pretende proporcionar informaciones relevantes y contribuciones para el desarrollo de la oftalmología y de la práctica quirúrgica veterinaria. Una cachorra fue atendida en el HVU - UFPI/CPCE con prolapso del globo ocular derecho. Se optó por la enucleación debido al prolongado intervalo entre la detección de la lesión y la búsqueda de asistencia médica, la presencia de una elevada carga de cuerpo extraño y la ausencia de reflejos pupilares. La cirugía comenzó con una cantotomía seguida de la disección de los músculos del globo ocular. Se pinzaron los vasos sanguíneos y el nervio óptico y se resecó el globo ocular. Tras una ligadura invaginante y la reducción del espacio muerto, se retiraron los bordes de los párpados y se realizó una blefarorrafia. Unos 40 días después de la enucleación, el perro estaba estable y la herida quirúrgica había cicatrizado satisfactoriamente. Este procedimiento se llevó a cabo de forma similar a lo visto en la bibliografía, aunque la enucleación se recomienda sobre todo para afecciones distintas de la proptosis traumática.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Abstract Background: Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) can overcome respiratory changes that occur during pneumoperitoneum application in laparoscopic procedures, but it can also increase intracranial pressure. We investigated PEEP vs. no PEEP application on ultrasound measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter (indirect measure of increased intracranial pressure) in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods: Eighty ASA I-II patients aged between 18 and 60 years scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were included. The study was registered in the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials (ACTRN12618000771257). Patients were randomly divided into either Group C (control, PEEP not applied), or Group P (PEEP applied at 10 cmH20). Optic nerve sheath diameter, hemodynamic, and respiratory parameters were recorded at six different time points. Ocular ultrasonography was used to measure optic nerve sheath diameter. Results: Peak pressure (PPeak) values were significantly higher in Group P after application of PEEP (p = 0.012). Mean respiratory rate was higher in Group C at all time points after application of pneumoperitoneum (p < 0.05). The mean values of optic nerve sheath diameters measured at all time points were similar between the groups (p > 0.05). The pulmonary dynamic compliance value was significantly higher in group P as long as PEEP was applied (p = 0.001). Conclusions: During laparoscopic cholecystectomy, application of 10 cmH2O PEEP did not induce a significant change in optic nerve sheath diameter (indirect indicator of intracranial pressure) compared to no PEEP application. It would appear that PEEP can be used safely to correct

ABSTRACT

Background: Ultrasound guided measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) is an emerging non invasive bedside tool that is being used to detect raised intracranial pressure (ICP) in patients with traumatic brain injury(TBI). Early detection of raised ICP can guide in the timely management of such patients with raised ICP due to TBI. Methods: A prospective, observational, open labelled study planned with a 30 patients of TBI of both genders, aged between 18 to 70 years. ONSD readings were taken 3 times a day for three days from the time of admission with portable SonoSite ultrasound machine. Data was expressed as mean ±standard deviation. Values were compared using T test and P value was calculated. Results: Highest reading recorded in patients with GCS <8 was 6.26±0.73 in comparison to 5.38±0.56 (p=0.001) in patients with GCS >8. Highest reading of ONSD correlating with a positive CT finding at admission was 6.22±.81 and was 5.46±.57 (p=0.006) in patients with negative findings on CT. ROC curve with average cut off of 6 mm correlated with positive CT findings with sensitivity of 80%, specificity of 70% and negative predictive value of 87% was found. Conclusions: Ultrasound-guided ONSD monitoring shows promise for diagnosing intracranial hypertension in traumatic brain injury. Correlations with CT, GCS, and outcomes emphasize its clinical relevance, warranting further validatio.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El neurotrauma es una condición que puede dar paso a una hipertensión intracraneana, situación que es muy grave. Los métodos diagnósticos de elección son los invasivos, aun así, los no invasivos y entre ellos la ecografía del nervio óptico, ofrecen muchísimas ventajas. Objetivo: Describir elementos esenciales de la ecografía de nervio óptico como método para diagnosticar hipertensión intracraneal en pacientes adultos con neurotrauma. Métodos: Se hizo una revisión de la literatura más reciente sin restricción lingüística o geográfica en las bases de datos PubMed y SciELO, se usaron términos afines al tema del artículo y se realizó una valoración crítica sobre la bibliografía consultada. Resultados: La literatura disponible sobre la ecografía del nervio óptico en la determinación de la hipertensión intracraneal es abundante y la mayoría apunta a sus beneficios como método no invasivo. La principal debilidad del mismo es que no es capaz de dar un valor exacto y esto se debe a que el valor normal del diámetro de la vaina del nervio óptico por cada persona puede variar significativamente. La proporción directa entre el diámetro de la vaina del nervio óptico y la presión intracraneal es un hecho que ningún autor intenta invalidar. Conclusiones: La ecografía del nervio óptico es un método seguro, accesible económicamente, no invasivo, fácil de usar y con un valor predictivo confiable para determinar la hipertensión intracraneal(AU)


Introduction: Neurotrauma is a condition that can lead to intracranial hypertension, which is a very serious situation. The diagnostic methods of choice are the invasive ones, even so, the non-invasive ones offer many advantages, the ultrasound of the optic nerve is among them. Objective: To describe essential elements of optic nerve ultrasound as a method to diagnose intracranial hypertension in adult patients with neurotrauma. Methods: A review of the most recent literature was made without linguistic or geographical restrictions in databases such as PubMed and SciELO, terms related to the theme of the manuscript were used. A critical assessment of the consulted bibliography was made. Results: The available literature on optic nerve ultrasound in the determination of intracranial hypertension is abundant and most points to the benefits as a non-invasive method. However, its main weakness lies in the fact that it is not capable of giving an exact value, due to the fact that the normal value of the diameter of the optic nerve sheath for each person can vary significantly. The direct relationship between optic nerve sheath diameter and intracranial pressure is a fact that no author attempts to invalidate. Conclusions: Optic nerve ultrasound is a safe, affordable, non-invasive, easy-to-use method with a reliable predictive value to determine intracranial hypertension(AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La infiltración del nervio óptico como forma inicial de recaída de la leucemia linfoblástica aguda es rara, aunque altamente indicativa de que el sistema nervioso central está involucrado. Objetivo: Actualizar el conocimiento sobre infiltración del nervio óptico como forma inicial de recaída de la leucemia linfoblástica aguda. Métodos: Se realizó una revisión de las publicaciones más relevantes relacionadas con el tema durante los últimos años. La búsqueda y la localización de la información se apoyaron en la elección de palabras clave/descriptores que configuraron el perfil de búsqueda. Se utilizó el MeSH Database de PubMed. Se realizó una extensa revisión en Google Académico y otros megabuscadores de revisión sistemática mediante TripDatabase y Cochrane. Conclusiones: La infiltración directa de células tumorales y las alteraciones hematológicas propias de la enfermedad constituyen los mecanismos fundamentales de la fisiopatogenia. El edema del disco óptico es su signo oftalmoscópico más distintivo. La imagen por resonancia magnética de cráneo, el análisis citológico del fluido cerebroespinal y la biopsia de médula ósea negativas no deben excluir el diagnóstico. La terapia combinada que incluye la radiación localizada constituye una buena opción de tratamiento. Un número considerable de ojos recuperan su agudeza visual y muestran resolución del cuadro infiltrativo(AU)


Introduction: Optic nerve infiltration as an initial form of relapse of acute lymphoblastic leukemia is rare, although it is highly indicative of central nervous system involvement. Objective: To update the knowledge about optic nerve infiltration as an initial form of relapse of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Methods: A review of the most relevant publications related to the subject during the last years was carried out. The search and localization of information was supported by the choice of keywords/descriptors that configured the search profile. The MeSH Database of PubMed was used. An extensive review was performed in Google Scholar and other systematic review mega search engines using TripDatabase and Cochrane. Conclusions: Direct tumor cell infiltration and disease-specific hematologic alterations are the fundamental mechanisms of pathophysiology. Optic disc edema is the most distinctive ophthalmoscopic sign. Negative cranial magnetic resonance imaging, cytologic analysis of cerebrospinal fluid and bone marrow biopsy should not exclude the diagnosis. Combination therapy including localized radiation is a good treatment option. A considerable number of eyes recover visual acuity and show resolution of the infiltrative picture(AU)

ABSTRACT

SUMMARY: Understanding species intraocular parameters using computed tomography (CT) scanning is initial and crucial step in ophthalmology. There is a lack of studies that have specialized in estimating the cattle and pig eyes using CT scans. Therefore, this study aimed to describe the anatomical and computed tomography features of cattle and pig eyes and its internal structures. Animal heads that not suffer from any diseases related to the eye were disarticulated. CT scan was performed. Moreover, 10 % fixed buffered formalin Specimens were used for the anatomical description of the eye and the optic nerve in particular. The values of length, width of the lens and globe, radio density of the optic nerve, lens, the anterior chamber, the vitreous chamber, and orbital dimensions were measured. Statistically, all parameters of cattle optic nerve increased significantly than that of the pig except for radiodensity, and angle of the optic nerve. Furthermore, all intraocular parameters of cattle increased significantly than that of the pig except the radiodensity of aqueous and vitreous humor. There was no significant difference between species in the opening angle of the orbit. This study's findings represent a first step toward developing CT reference values for cattle and pigs intraocular structural assessments.


Comprender los parámetros intraoculares de especies mediante la tomografía computarizada es un paso inicial y crítico en oftalmología. Faltan estudios enfocados en la estimación de ojos de bovinos y porcinos mediante tomografías computarizadas. Por tanto, este estudio tuvo como objetivo describir las características anatómicas y de tomografía computarizada de los bulbos oculares de bovinos y porcinos y sus estructuras internas. Se desarticularon cabezas de animales que no padecieran alguna enfermedad relacionada con el ojo. Se realizó una tomografía computarizada. Se fijaron las muestras en formalina tamponada al 10 % para la descripción anatómica del bulbo ocular y del nervio óptico en particular. Se midieron los valores de longitud del bulbo ocular, ancho del lente y la radio densidad del nervio óptico, lente, cámara anterior, cámara vítrea y dimensiones orbitarias. Estadísticamente, todos los parámetros del nervio óptico del ganado aumentaron significativamente con respecto al del cerdo, excepto la radio densidad y el ángulo del nervio óptico. Además, todos los parámetros intraoculares del ganado bovino aumentaron significativamente respecto a los del cerdo, excepto la radio densidad del humor acuoso y cuerpo vítreo. No hubo diferencia significativa entre especies en el ángulo de apertura de la órbita. Los hallazgos de este estudio representan un primer paso hacia el desarrollo de valores de referencia de tomografía computarizada para evaluaciones estructurales intraoculares de ganado vacuno y porcino.
