ABSTRACT

In light of the international literature, a workgroup of experts from the AFSOP met in February 2019 to formulate updated recommendations for visual screening in children. An ophthalmologic examination during the first month of life is recommended for children at risk of developing infantile organic amblyopia. An ophthalmologic examination including cycloplegic refraction between 12 and 15 months of age is recommended for children at risk of developing functional amblyopia. At any age, a prompt ophthalmologic examination is recommended for a child suspected of functional or organic ocular pathology. In children without risk factors or warning signs, a systematic orthoptic screening examination is recommended during the third year of life, including a monocular visual acuity test, a cover-test and a refraction by photoscreener. The child is referred to the ophthalmologist only in the case of an abnormal screening result, according to the following criteria: visual acuity <5/10, or >1 difference between eyes, abnormal cover test, photodetection refraction values <-3D or>+2.5D for the sphere,>1.5D for astigmatism and>1D for anisometropia. Finally, we review normal childhood refractive errors as a function of age as well as the correct use of photo screening devices.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To evaluate the medical-surgical management of cataract surgery in children with chronic uveitis in various French pediatric ophthalmology centers. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two-part study: first, a descriptive observational segment on the evaluation of French practices. A questionnaire was sent to the various pediatric ophthalmologists in France. A second retrospective chart review, including children with non-infectious chronic uveitis who had cataract surgery in the pediatric ophthalmology department of Bordeaux University Hospital from 2008 to 2017. RESULTS: Twenty-one ophthalmologists responded to the questionnaire. Only 23.8% systematically initiated immunosuppressive drugs (aside from corticosteroids) before surgery. A total of 88.2% prescribed oral corticosteroid treatment preoperatively. Eleven surgeons administered intravenous corticosteroid boluses during the surgery, and primary lens implantation is the most common method used in 95.2%. A total of 76.2% initiated oral steroid therapy after surgery. Postoperatively, all surgeons started local therapy with high-dose corticosteroids. At one year, 100% achieved improvement of visual acuity greater than or equal to 2 lines. On our service, 10 eyes (7 children) underwent cataract surgery. Seven were treated with systemic immunosuppressive drugs (aside from corticosteroids) and 80% of cases received oral corticosteroid therapy a few days before surgery. An intravenous corticosteroid bolus was administered preoperatively in 8 cases, and primary lens implantation was performed in 100% of cases. Postoperatively, 5 children received oral corticosteroid treatment. All were treated with local high dose steroids. At one year, the mean best-corrected visual acuity was 0.18 LogMar (0-0.7, SD: 0.25). CONCLUSION: When performed with an aggressive anti-inflammatory protocol, cataract surgery leads to a good visual outcome in selected children with chronic uveitis.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To assess the reproducibility of single-pass cutting for preparation of ultra-thin (≤120µm) donor cornea grafts in Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK). METHODS: All consecutive patients of DSAEK performed using the MORIA One Use microkeratome (MORIA, Antony, France) in between June 2014 and August 2015. Patient and donor central corneal thickness (CTT), microkeratome head, remaining stromal bed thickness (RSBT), number of cut and graft thickness at 1 month and 6 months postoperatively were recorded in this single-center prospective study. RESULTS: The mean preoperative donor graft CCT was 569.0±45.1µm and the mean donor endothelial graft CCT immediately after the cut was 116.5±28.7µm. At 1 month postoperatively, the mean CCT was 102.8±35.9µm. At 6 months, the mean CCT was 89.4±26.2µm. In all eyes, the mean CCT decreased from the post-cut (116.5±28.7µm) to the last visit (89.4±26.2µm) (P<0.01) due to in vivo deturgesence of the graft. We obtained 77.5% ultra-thin DSAEK immediately after the cut, 77.5% at 1 month and 89.8% after 6 months. CONCLUSION: Single-pass technique with the MORIA One Use microkeratome offers safe and reproducible DSAEK tissue preparation and allows achieving ultra-thin DSAEK in 89.8% of cases.

ABSTRACT

Benign conjunctival tumors include congenital, melanocytic, epithelial and stromal lesions. Clinical observation often fails to make the diagnosis, and complete excisional biopsy must be performed as soon as growth is suspected. Histology remains the best way to exclude malignancy or lesions with a risk of transformation, because malignant lesions carry a poor prognosis and require specific therapy and follow-up. Onco-ophthalmologists must have a perfect knowledge of benign conjunctival tumors, since during adulthood, nevi can be confused with melanomas, and epithelial or stromal lesions with carcinomas. For children and teenagers, surgery is only recommended when growth or functional problems are observed.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: Sensenbrenner syndrome or cranio-ectodermal dysplasia is an extremely rare autosomal recessive condition (12 cases reported in literature). Our observation shows the possibility of both ocular and renal involvement associated with cranio-ectodermal abnormalities. PATIENTS: and method:We report the case of a girl who presented a typical cranio-ectodermal syndrome with dolicocephaly, short thorax, short limbs, short fingers and teeth abnormalities. At five years, she was found to have pigmentosum retinitis with amblyopy and moderate hyperopia. A chronic renal failure with uncontrollable hypertension underwent a cadaveric-donor transplantation at the age of six years. RESULTS: Two years later, the pigmentosum retinitis was stable. The kidney histology revealed a tubulo-interstitial nephronophtisis. The molecular analysis of the NPH 1 locus, which was associated with nephronophtisis, was negative. DISCUSSION: Our observation and two recent publications have in common ocular and renal abnormalities associated with cranio-ectodermal dysplasia. The underlying genetic defect would involve not only morphogenesis but also development and maturation of organs as eye and kidney. Sensenbrenner syndrome would thus be similar to certain disorders affecting the eye, kidney, skeleton and ectodermal structures such as the EEM, Senior-Loken, Mainzer-Saldino, and Jeune syndromes. CONCLUSION: The retinal dystrophy falls within the spectrum of clinical and genetic forms of pigmentosum retinitis. Our observation would confirm possible links between Sensenbrenner syndrome and oculorenal syndromes.

ABSTRACT

The authors analyse 24 observations of retinal detachment with macular hole in high myopia. All this patients have been treated by C3F8 internal tamponade. Silicon oil has been only used for recurrences. After a study of vitreoretinal connections, the cause of recurrences are analysed according to echometry, detachment degree and proliferative vitreoretinopathy.

ABSTRACT

Five cases of Eales syndrome are analysed in this report. The tuberculous etiology of this disease oblige, during the treatment, a medical survey. After photocoagulations, a medical treatment with acetylsalicylic acid seem to be useful to decrease evolution of this thrombosant vasculopathy. A precocious vitrectomy gives good results.

ABSTRACT

Since January 1986, the authors have examined twenty infant HIV positives. In two cases specially, some serious and precocious ophthalmic lesions have been found : an ophthalmic zona appeared at the age of three months, a cytomegalovirus retinitis diagnosed at the age of six months. From this series, the particularities of the HIV infection by maternal-fetal transmission are discussed.
