ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To evaluate the association between meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) and primary chronic dacryocystitis (PCD) and the effect of dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) on tear film stability and MGD. METHODS: This prospective, interventional, non-randomized study involved 50 unilateral acquired PCD cases and 50 age-matched healthy controls. Patients with lid abnormalities, ocular trauma, previous ocular surgery, contact lens wearers, and chronic topical or systemic drug users were excluded from the study. After a detailed history, the ocular surface disease index (OSDI) was calculated. The ocular assessment included visual acuity, tear meniscus height (TMH), tear break-up time (TBUT), tear well diameter (TWD), Schirmer 1 test, meibomian gland (MG) expressibility, and meibography. PCD eyes underwent external DCR, and the tests were repeated after 8 weeks. RESULTS: The mean age of PCD cases was 42.58 ± 12.74 years, the male: female ratio was 7:19, and the mean duration of epiphora was 2.2 ± 1 years. The MG expressibility grade of ≥2 was seen in 98% (49/50) PCD eyes, which was strongly associated with PCD as compared to controls (OR = 563, P = 0.00, 95% CI = 60.71-5229.70). MG loss ≥50% was seen in 62% (31/50) of PCD eyes and none of the control eyes. Following DCR, MG loss remained unchanged, and a significant decrease occurred in OSDI scores, TWD and Schirmer 1 values, and MG expressibility grade (Z = -6.85). The mean TMH decreased from 767.60 ± 331.60 µm to 384 ± 204.29 µm ( P = 0.004) post DCR. CONCLUSIONS: PCD is strongly associated with MGD. DCR reverses the functional MG changes with improvement in the tear film stability but no effect on MG loss.

ABSTRACT

A late adolescent girl presented with medically uncontrolled glaucoma and aphakia post-fire-cracker injury to the right eye. She underwent single-loop fixation of the posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) and Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implantation with reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) in the immediate postoperative period. She sustained second trauma 6 days later resulting in tube retraction and an IOP of 38 mm Hg. An anterior repositioning of the tube-plate complex was performed and IOP remained under control for 5 months. She then developed a tenon cyst and the IOP rose to 24 mm Hg, for which topical timolol and dorzolamide and digital massage were administered. The IOP was in the lower teens, sans medication and aided vision of 0.50 LogMAR at the 1 year follow-up. This case highlights the outcomes of single-loop fixation of IOL with AGV in a post-traumatic setting and subsequent management of complications.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To study the outcomes of transcanalicular laser dacryocystorhinostomy (TCL-DCR) with endonasal augmentation in acute versus post-acute dacryocystitis and compare it with external DCR in post-acute settings. METHODS: A prospective, randomised study was conducted in 90 adult cases of Acute dacryocystitis. All the patients were started on systemic antibiotics and a 4 mm × 4 mm osteotomy was created using TCL-DCR. The osteotomy was enlarged to 8 mm × 8 mm by endonasal augmentation at the same sitting in group 1, after 10 days in group 2 and after 10 days with external DCR in group 3. The cases were assessed for symptomatic relief and complications. Success was defined as functional and anatomical patency at 36 months. RESULTS: The mean age was 45.33 ± 15.06 years and the male: female ratio was 1:2. The presenting complaints were painful swelling (100%), epiphora or discharge (88.8%), fistula (33%) and fever (6%). The average number of acute episodes was 2.96. The intra-group pain reduction from day 1 to day 4, was significant in all three groups (p = 0.000). Intra-operative (p = 0.015, χ2 = 8.37) and post-operative complications (p = 0.002, χ2 = 0.002) were higher in group. Anatomical success was achieved in all the three groups, however, the functional success in Group 3, Group 2 and Group 1 was 100%, 86.7% and 66.7% respectively (p = 0.002, χ2 = 12.86). CONCLUSIONS: The creation of osteotomy using TCL-DCR provides early relief in symptoms. Single-stage surgery in inflamed tissues is associated with higher complication rates. External DCR in post-acute settings gives the best outcomes with minimal complications, endoscopic augmentation requires a close follow-up.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To compare the surgical outcomes of dacryocystorhinostomy with retrograde intubation and conjunctivo-dacryocystorhinostomy for the management of proximal mid-bicanalicular lacrimal obstruction. DESIGN: Randomized, controlled trial. METHODS: The study was conducted in 50 eyes of 50 adult patients with bicanalicular obstruction ≤ 6 mm from the punctum. The etiology, duration of symptoms, and Munk scores were recorded. Group A underwent dacryocystorhinostomy with retrograde intubation, and in group B, conjunctivo-dacryocystorhinostomy was performed. Success was defined as anatomic patency on syringing, a negative fluorescein dye disappearance test, and a Munk score < 2 twelve months postoperatively. RESULTS: There were 23 males and 27 females, 18-66 years of age, with a 6-month to 20-year duration of epiphora. The etiologies were idiopathic, trauma, and allergic conjunctivitis and ocular surface inflammation. In group A, the pseudopunctum was located medial to the diagnosed level of canalicular block by 1.28 ± 0.54 mm and 1.04 ± 0.88 mm in upper and lower canaliculi, respectively. Four post-traumatic cases required intervention following closure of the pseudopunctum, all being located ≥ 7 mm from the true punctum (p = 0.001). The complication rate was higher in group B than in group A (p = 0.001). At 12 months, the success rate was 100% in group A and 88% in group B (22 of 25; p = 0.74), with reduction in Munk scores from preoperative levels in both groups (p = 0.001). CONCLUSION: Dacryocystorhinostomy with retrograde intubation and conjunctivo-dacryocystorhinostomy have comparable success rates in the management of proximal mid-bicanalicular obstructions. Dacryocystorhinostomy with retrograde intubation has lower complication rates and does not require long-term maintenance of the bypass tube, unlike conjunctivo-dacryocystorhinostomy.

ABSTRACT

The manual small-incision cataract surgery (MSICS) is instrumental in tackling cataract-induced blindness in developing countries, especially with a sizeable proportion being hard brunescent cataracts. MSICS has a unique set of complications related to wound construction, the creation of the capsular opening, and the technique of nuclear delivery. A poorly constructed sclero-corneal tunnel or a small capsulorhexis hampers the nuclear extraction, and the extensive intracameral maneuvers increase the chances of postoperative corneal edema and iritis. Though MSICS has been shown to have universal applicability, producing replicable visual outcomes requires a significant learning curve. This article reviews the relevant published literature on complications of MSICS utilizing the databases of PubMed, Medline, Cochrane, and Google Scholar.

ABSTRACT

Rehabilitation of a post-exenterated orbital defect is a necessity, to restore a patient's esthetic appearance and help overcome the associated psychosocial stigma. An implant supported prosthesis enjoys a better patient acceptance due to its superior retention and stability. This clinical report highlights the challenges faced in planning, designing and placement of maxillofacial implants in the supra-orbital rim of an exenterated socket post-radiotherapy along with the management of the unexpected complications which developed subsequently. Administration of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, fabrication of a digitally designed surgical guide to ensure predictable implant placement, selection of surface treated implants for better biomechanical anchorage, and a gentler surgical technique for recovery of irradiated hard and soft tissues were measures undertaken during the treatment phase. An effort has been made to point-out the fact that despite the various approaches adopted in an irradiated patient, success of implant placement in such a situation remains a challenge.

ABSTRACT

Castleman's disease (CD) is an uncommon group of atypical lymphoproliferative disorders. Extranodal involvement such as the orbit is extremely rare. We aim to report a case of a 62-year-old male who presented with left painless proptosis for the past three years. Examination revealed a firm, lobulated mass in the left superotemporal orbit, displacing the globe inferomedially. A well-defined extraconal orbital lesion encasing the left lateral rectus muscle with intraconal extension was seen on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) that led to the provisional diagnosis of left solitary encapsulated venous malformation. Excision of the mass via lateral orbitotomy was performed. However, on histopathology, the features were consistent with a mixed-cell variant of Castleman's disease. A detailed systemic workup was unremarkable. Proptosis resolved after surgery and no recurrence was noted in the three-year follow-up. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of a mixed-cell variant of unicentric orbital CD without any systemic features. This case highlights the importance of including CD in the differential diagnosis of well-defined orbital lesions so as to enable its early detection and timely management.
