ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Dupilumab and tralokinumab are interleukin-binding monoclonal antibodies used to treat systemic atopic disease. Use of these medications in management of atopic dermatitis (AD) is known to cause conjunctivitis. Dupilumab therapy has also been associated with more severe ocular surface disease, which has not previously been described in association with tralokinumab. This report describes a case of tralokinumab-associated conjunctivitis and peripheral ulcerative keratitis and reviews the spectrum and proposed mechanisms of ocular surface disease triggered by these medications. CASE PRESENTATION: A 61-year-old male with no rheumatologic or ocular history presented with bilateral papillary conjunctivitis and right eye peripheral ulcerative keratitis (PUK). PUK was arrested using oral corticosteroids and doxycycline, and long-term control of papillary conjunctivitis was achieved using topical tacrolimus ointment, allowing continuation of effective AD management with tralokinumab. CONCLUSION: This case report documents ulcerative keratitis occurring in association with tralokinumab therapy for AD, which has previously been described with dupilumab but not tralokinumab. This report demonstrates the need for vigilant ocular surface monitoring for patients on tralokinumab and illustrates successful management and long-term control of adverse ocular events associated with this medication.

ABSTRACT

This case report describes a patient with a history of laser in situ keratomileusis who presented with pain, photophobia, and blurred vision secondary to a corneal flap free-floating on interface edema in the setting of acute hydrops.

ABSTRACT

A 51-year-old Caucasian male was referred to neuro-ophthalmology clinic for an evaluation of acute onset of painless visual loss in the left eye. The ocular examination revealed subtle retinal changes suspicious for chorioretinitis. Laboratory workup revealed a reactive Treponema pallidum particle agglutination assay (TP-PA), confirming the diagnosis of ocular syphilis. The patient was treated with intravenous infusion of penicillin with complete recovery of vision and resolution of retinal abnormalities.

ABSTRACT

Orbital lesions include a broad spectrum of tumors, vascular abnormalities, and inflammatory conditions. High-resolution imaging has become an invaluable tool toward formulating an accurate diagnosis, and facilitates proper counseling regarding appropriate interventions. Imaging may guide whether partial excision to minimize damage to orbital structures, or en bloc removal to prevent potential recurrence, as seen in mesenchymal tumors, is indicated., Recently, dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) has demonstrated use in helping differentiate orbital vascular lesions. This imaging modality uses rapid MRI acquisition to provide noninvasive, dynamic flow information with high spatial resolution. However, even with modern imaging, reaching a diagnosis prior to histopathological analysis can be challenging. We present a case of orbital fibrous histiocytoma that appeared nearly identical to cavernous hemangioma on dynamic contrast-enhanced MRA.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To determine rates of tissue use for corneal transplants via endothelial keratoplasty (EK) relative to penetrating keratoplasty (PK). METHODS: Retrospective chart review of all cornea tissues (n = 3669) distributed from the Lions Eye Bank of Wisconsin for EK or PK from August 1, 2004 through July 31, 2009 (60 months). Rates of tissue use for EK relative to PK were determined both on a yearly basis and for the overall study period. Replacement frequency and time to subsequent surgery were established for each group. Donor tissue and recipient characteristics were compared between groups. RESULTS: Donor characteristics did not differ between the 2 groups; 11.9% of EK tissues failed and were replaced during the study period compared with 5.1% of PK tissues (P < 0.0001). Additional tissue for the same eye came at a mean of 174 days after an EK surgery compared with 558 days after a PK (P < 0.0001). Surgeons requesting tissue for EK increased each year, whereas the number of repeat tissue requests decreased over time. CONCLUSIONS: Additional tissues were required for recipients of EK more than twice as often as for recipients of PK, and replacement of EK grafts occurred at a mean of more than 1 year before replacement of PK grafts. This pattern of tissue utilization during the first 5 years of distribution for EK did not negatively affect the Lions Eye Bank of Wisconsin from meeting the surgeon demand for tissue in its service area. Eye banks may wish to monitor tissue utilization as part of their quality assurance program.
