RESUMEN
Central serous chorioretinitis (CSC) is a kind of choroidal retinopathy characterized by choroidal vasodilatation and hyperpermeability, retinal pigment epithelial cell lesions and serous retinal detachment. Various imaging examinations and imaging techniques have been used to describe the characteristics of the retina and choroid. Fundus manifestations of different types of CSC has both generality, and have their respective characteristic. The classification of CSC and its differentiation from other diseases including the choroidal neovascularization and pachychoroidopathy spectrum depending on varieties of fundus imaging techniques. The current study aims to review the various performance characteristics of CSC especially for chronic CSC with multimodal imaging and the current research progress, so as to provide reference for ophthalmologists to more comprehensively and intuitively understand the clinical characteristics and potential pathogenesis of CSC, and also to provide basis for multimodal imaging assisted diagnosis and treatment.
RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate and analyze the clinical manifestations and imaging features of the eyes with bullous retinal detachment.Methods:Retrospective case series study. Eleven eyes of 11 patients with bullous retinal detachment diagnosed in Department of Ophthalmology, Peking University People's Hospital from July 2015 to September 2021 were enrolled. There were 10 males and 1 female, with the mean age of (39.27±6.81) years. All patients had monocular bullous retinal detachment, with mean duration ranged from 3 months to 14 years. The basic information and medical history of all patients were collected. All patients underwent best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), indirect ophthalmoscopy, color fundus photography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) and B-scan ultrasonography. BCVA was performed using a standard logarithmic visual acuity chart, which was converted to logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) visual acuity. The clinical data and imaging features of BCVA, OCT, FFA and ICGA were retrospectively analyzed and summarized.Results:The mean logMAR BCVA of the 11 eyes was 0.91±0.45. Nine patients had bilateral disease, but bullous retinal detachment occurred in only 1 eye, and CSC manifestations were present in the contralateral eye. Six patients had received systemic or topical hormone therapy prior to onset. Yellowish-white material was observed in 6 eyes and retinal folds were observed in 5 eyes. OCT examination showed serous retinal detachment in the macular area with granular or patchy hyperreflective signals in the subretinal area in all eyes, and a few granular hyperreflective substances in the neuroretina in 6 eyes. Neuroretina cystoid degeneration was observed in 6 eyes, adhesion between the detached neuroretina and retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) was observed in 6 eyes, RPE tear was observed in 6 eyes, and different forms of retinal pigment epithelial detachment (PED) were observed in 6 eyes. FFA showed multiple fluorescence leakage spots in 10 eyes, and the average number of fluorescence leakage spots in all eyes was 3.82±2.44. There were multiple diffuse RPE lesions in 9 eyes. The results of ICGA examination showed that choroidal vessels were dilated and multiple hyperfluorescent leaks were observed in all eyes. B-scan ultrasonography examination of all affected eyes showed retinal detachment. Retinal reattachment can be achieved at (2.0±1.0) months after photodynamic therapy (PDT), while SRF can be completely absorbed at (2.36±0.81) months. The mean logMAR BCVA can be improved to 0.50±0.33, and no recurrence was found in the follow-up period up to 6 months.Conclusions:Bullous retinal detachment is often associated with the use of hormones, while yellow-white material in the subretina and hyperreflective material in the OCT are common. It is characterized by neuroretina cystoid degeneration in the macular area, adhesion between the neuroretina and RPE, RPE tear and PED, with multiple fluorescence leakage spots and diffuse RPE lesions. PDT is an effective treatment for bullous retinal detachment.
RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the prognosis and differences of visual function and fundus structure in retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) undergoing anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents (VEGF) or laser photocoagulation treatment with long-term follow-up.Methods:Retrospective case control series. From January 2010 to December 2021, A total of 35 children (63 eyes) with ROP who were first diagnosed in Department of Ophthalmology, Peking University People's Hospital and followed up for as long as 5 years were included. Among them, 21 males (36 eyes) and 15 females (27 eyes) were enrolled. The average gestational age (GA) of the children at birth was 29.30±1.77 weeks. Among the included 12 aggressive ROP (A-ROP) eyes and 51 pre-threshold type 1 ROP eyes, no retinal detachment occurred. Each eye received only intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF agents or laser monotherapy after diagnosis, and divided into anti-VEGF group or laser group according to the treatment. Thirty-five eyes of 20 infants were included in the anti-VEGF group and 28 eyes of 15 infants were included in the laser group. GA, birth weight (BW) and postmenstrual age receiving first treatment were compared and no significant difference between the two groups was defined ( P=0.844, 0.859, 0.694). The number of A-ROP, pre-threshold type 1 ROP eyes were also compared, and statistically significance can be defined ( P=0.005). During the follow-up period, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), refractive status, visual field, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA) were performed. The BCVA examination was carried out using the international standard decimal visual acuity chart, which was converted into the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) visual acuity for statistics. Refractive status was calculated as spherical equivalent (SE). Comparative observation of 5-year outcomes including BW, GA, fundus examination at the initial diagnosis, and BCVA, refractive status, visual field defect, central foveal thickness (CFT), subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) and abnormality of peripheral retina in FFA were performed between the two groups. Differences between groups were compared using t test or nonparametric test for measurement data, and χ 2 test was used for comparison between groups in enumeration data. Results:Five years after treatment, retinal avascular areas were seen around the eyes in the anti-VEGF treatment group, with a size of 2.32±1.84 optic disc diameters, and 1 eye had fluorescein leakage at the junction of the peripheral avascular areas; eyes in the laser treatment group old photocoagulation spots were seen in the peripheral retina, and no fluorescein leakage was seen. The logMAR BCVA of the eyes in the anti-VEGF treatment group and laser treatment group were 0.15 (0.00, 0.20), 0.10 (0.00, 0.16), respectively; SE were 0.50 (-1.25, 1.31), 0.38 (-4.25, 1.75) D, respectively; mean defect (MD) values of visual field were 2.70 (1.20, 4.80), 4.25 (2.83, 6.98) dB; CFT, SFCT were 225.00±29.31, 287.18±68.56 μm and 237.17±32.81, 279.79±43.61 μm. There was no significant difference in logMAR BCVA, CFT and SFCT between the two groups ( P=0.363, 0.147, 0.622); the lower quartile of SE and visual field MD value in the laser treatment group were significantly higher than those in the laser treatment group, but there was no significant difference in the median SE ( P=0.109), and there was a statistically significant difference in the median MD value of the visual field ( P=0.037). Conclusions:Anti-VEGF agents and laser therapy can achieve similar good visual prognosis for early ROP, and the peripheral visual field can be preserved to a greater extent, however, the peripheral visual field defect in the laser group is more significant than that in the anti-VEGF group. For ROP without retinal detachment, the thickness of the retina and choroid in the fovea is generally normal.
RESUMEN
Objective@#To observe the changes of retinal microstructure in lamellar macular hole (LMH) after vitrectomy.@*Methods@#A retrospective clinical observational study. Forty patients (41 eyes) with LMH and received vitrectomy in Ophthalmology Department of Peking University People’s Hospital from January 2014 to September 2018 were included in this study. Among them, 14 patients (15 eyes) were males and 26 patients (26 eyes) were females, with an average age of 67.8±8.6 years. There were 37 eyes with a lens and 4 eyes with an IOL. There were 29 eyes with LMH of tractional type, 7 eyes of degenerative type, and 5 eyes of mixed type. All patients underwent BCVA and OCT examinations. The BCVA examination was performed using the international standard visual acuity chart, which was converted into logMAR visual acuity. The average logMAR BCVA was 0.57±0.27; the mean macular retinal thickness (CRT) was 192.3±108.9 μm, the mean macular thickness (MRT) was 427.5±110.2 μm. Among the 29 eyes of tractional type, there were 17 eyes with retinal cavity, 8 eyes with macular retinoschisis, and 3 eyes with incomplete ellipsoid zone. Among the 7 eyes of degenerative type, there were 5 eyes with lamellar hole-associated epiretinal proliferation (LHEP), 5 eyes with retinal cavity, and 5 eyes with incomplete ellipsoid zone. Among the 5 eyes of mixed type, 2 eyes with LHEP, 1 eye with macular epiretinal membrane, and 4 eyes with incomplete ellipsoid zone. The average follow-up time after surgery was 12.8±5.2 months. Among them, 10 eyes were followed up for equal or greater than 24 months. After the surgery, the same equipment and method before the surgery were used for relevant examination. The changes of BCVA, CRT, and MRT before and after surgery were observed. Continuous variables were compared by t test.@*Results@#At the last follow-up, the mean logMAR BCVA was 0.37±0.26. Compared with before surgery, the difference was statistically significant (t=5.98, P<0.01). The mean CRT and MRT were (245.2±90.8) and (347.0±46.7) μm, respectively. Compared with before surgery, the differences were statistically significant (t=-2.49, -5.24; P<0.05, <0.01). CRT and MRT changed greatly within 6 months after surgery, and then tended to be gentle. Among the 3 eyes with incomplete ellipsoid zone of tractional type before surgery, ellipsoid zone recovered in 2 eyes and partially recovered in 1 eye. Among the 17 eyes with retinal cavity and 8 eyes with macular retinoschisis before surgery, there were still 4 eyes with retinal cavity, but all the retinoschisis were disappeared. Among the 5 eyes with retinal cavity of degenerative type before surgery, there were still 2 eyes with retinal cavity and all the eyes with incomplete ellipsoid zone. Among 10 eyes with a follow-up time of equal or greater than 24 months, the macular ganglion cell complex partially atrophied in 6 eyes, and the nerve fiber layer separated in 2 eyes. There was no full-thickness macular hole after surgery.@*Conclusion@#For most LMH patients, vitrectomy can effectively improve the visual acuity and promote the recovery of retinal microstructure.
