RESUMO

AIM: Phantom eye syndrome is a poorly understood and underestimated complication of eye removal (ER). Seeing with the amputated eye, referred to as phantom vision (PV), is undoubtedly the most intriguing and confusing complication experienced by anophthalmic patients. The aim of the study was to assess PV prevalence, clinical features and risk factors after ER. METHODS: A multicentric questionnaire-based study was conducted between April 2016 and July 2017. Patients >18 years who underwent ER >3 months ago had a socket examination before inclusion. Data recorded included patients' demographics, and preoperative, surgical and postoperative features. RESULTS: One hundred patients (53 men) with a mean age of 65.1 years (29-92; SD=13.0) were included. ER indications were: uveal melanoma (n=24, 24%), trauma (n=20, 20%), retinal detachment (n=20, 20%), glaucoma (n=14, 14%) and endophthalmitis (n=12, 12%). Thirty (30%) patients experienced PV. Elementary and complex visual hallucinations were experienced by 80% and 20% of patients, respectively. PV usually appeared within the first postoperative month and tended to decrease over time. Risk factors for PV were the preoperative use of proton beam therapy (p=0.006), uveal melanoma (p=0.014), enucleation (p=0.015), anxiety with a Hospital and Anxiety Depression (HAD) score ≥8 (p=0.042), depression with a HAD score ≥8 (p=0.030), phantom eye pain (p=0.044) and phantom eye sensations (p=0.002). CONCLUSION: PV was reported by one-third of our patients. Despite being widely misunderstood, ophthalmologists and neurologists should be aware of this complication to adequately reassure patients.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Up to 20% of patients with moderate to severe Graves' orbitopathy (GO) do not respond to high-dose glucocorticoids (GC). A few studies, including a randomized trial, have demonstrated the efficacy of interleukin-6 (IL-6) blockade with tocilizumab (TCZ) in GC-refractory GO. However, data on predictors of response to TCZ and long-term outcomes are lacking. METHODS: Observational single-center study on ten consecutive patients treated with TCZ for GC-refractory GO, between 2016 and 2020. Median (interquartile range) follow-up was 24 (12-36) months. RESULTS: Inflammation and exophthalmos improved dramatically in all patients within months after starting TCZ. Mean Clinical Activity Score decreased from 4.80 ± 1.13 to 0.70 ± 0.82 points at 6 months (mean change: -4.10 ± 1.52; p < .0001). Proptosis improved from 23.2 ± 2.1 to 20.6 ± 2.0 mm at 6 months (mean change: -2.9 ± 1.4 mm; p < .0001). Diplopia resolved in 7 patients. Thyroid receptor antibodies decreased markedly during TCZ treatment. Baseline serum IL-6 levels did not predict clinical response. TCZ was well-tolerated. During follow-up, 3 patients were diagnosed with cancer (breast cancer in 2 and urothelial cancer in 1). CONCLUSIONS: TCZ was rapidly effective and well-tolerated in our patients with GC-refractory GO. Four patients experienced mild/moderate adverse events as neutropenia, hyperlipidemia, and infections; nearly a third developed cancer during the follow-up. The increased incidence observed could be explained by the high prevalence of smokers, that are at higher risk for Graves' orbitopathy and solid malignancies as breast cancer. Thus, regular cancer screening could be proposed to this vulnerable population receiving high doses of immunosuppressants.

RESUMO

Orbital exenteration is a radical and disfiguring surgery mainly performed in specialized tertiary care centers. Orbital exenteration has long been considered the treatment of choice for managing periocular tumors invading the orbit or primary orbital malignancies. Over the past decades, attention has been directed toward reducing the perioperative morbidity by developing new surgical devices and new strategies and promoting cosmetic rehabilitation by providing adequate facial prostheses. Despite these advances, several studies have questioned the role of orbital exenteration in improving overall survival. The last decade has been marked by the emergence of a new paradigm: the "eye-sparing" strategies based on conservative surgery with or without adjuvant radiotherapy and/or targeted therapies and immunotherapies. We summarize the data on orbital exenteration, including epidemiology, etiologies, use of surgical ablative and reconstructive techniques, complications, outcomes, and the related controversies.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Phantom eye syndrome (PES) is an underestimated complication of eye amputation (EA) characterized by phantom eye pain (PEP), phantom visions and/or phantom sensations. The aim of this study was to assess PEP prevalence, features, risk factors, social and psychological consequences and associated quality of life. METHODS: A questionnaire study was conducted in three oculoplastic departments between April 2016 and July 2017. Patients >18 years who had undergone EA ≥3 months earlier were included and asked to complete a prestamped questionnaire. Patient's characteristics, preoperative, surgical and postoperative data were collected. RESULTS: Of the 185 questionnaires given, 115 (62%) were returned for analysis. Hundred patients with a mean age of 65.1 years (29-92; SD = 13.0) were included. Eye amputation (EA) indications were uveal melanoma (n = 24, 24%), trauma (n = 20, 20%), retinal detachment (n = 20, 20%), glaucoma (n = 14, 14%) and endophthalmitis (n = 12, 12%). Forty-seven (47%), 30 (30%) and 38 (38%) patients experienced PEP, phantom visions and phantom sensations, respectively. Anxiety and depression [Hospital Anxiety Depression scale (HADS) score ≥8 for both] were diagnosed in 34 (34%) and 42 (42%) patients, respectively. The mean EQ-5D-3L and EQ-5D visual analogue scale scores were 0.8 (0.06-1; SD = 0.2) and 68 (0-100; SD = 22), respectively. Preoperative eye pain (p = 0.031), glaucoma (p = 0.027), postoperative anxiety with HADS score ≥8 (p = 0.012) and ≥11 (p = 0.014), aesthetic discomfort (p = 0.002) and EQ-5D-3L score <0.8 (p < 0.001) were significantly associated with PEP in the univariate analysis. In the multivariate analysis, only anxiety (HADS score ≥8) was significantly associated with PEP (p = 0.009). CONCLUSION: Phantom eye pain (PEP) is a common complication of EA strongly associated with postoperative anxiety.

RESUMO

Considering absence of invasiveness and side effects, tears emerge as a particularly attractive fluid for biomarker discovery and therefore for daily clinical use. However, to date this fluid remains poorly studied in healthy condition. Here, we present an updated in-depth characterisation of the human healthy tear protein composition using proteomics approach. Both eyes of 8 healthy controls (4 men and 4 women, average age: 38 ±â€¯18) were collected using the Schirmer's strip method. After liquid digestion and off-gel electrophoresis fractionation, three independent proteomics analyses were performed on a LTQ-Orbitrap Velos Pro. Globally, 1351 proteins were identified with 2 unique peptides and 1% FDR. Gene ontology analyses showed up that 39% of the tear proteins were enzymes, with high numbers of dehydrogenases, phosphatases, kinases and ligases. Immunoglobulins, serpins and 14-3-3 domains proteins also emerged as the main tear protein families. The glycolysis and the coagulation and complement cascades, which were already shown in tears as involved in ocular and systemic diseases, were highlighted performing pathway analyses. Our study therefore complements the existing data on healthy tears proteome. Nevertheless, extensive studies for deeply and definitively characterise this promising fluid are required in the near future in order to be able to routinely use this fluid in clinics. A better understanding of its protein content will probably open new avenues in the biomarker discovery and clinical practice in the near future.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To report the clinical and histopathologic features of two cases of eyelids metastases from uveal melanoma diagnosed in a metachronous and synchronous fashion. METHODS: Monocentric retrospective case series of histopathologically proven eyelids metastases from uveal melanoma at our institution. RESULTS: Two patients were presented to our hospital for upper eyelids pigmented and firm lesions. Patient 1 had an history of left uveal melanoma treated conservatively with proton beam therapy 5 years earlier. Examination revealed bilateral upper eyelids lesions. Patient 2 had no malignancy history but was incidentally diagnosed with a cerebral nodule few months earlier. Examination revealed a right upper eyelid nodule and a previously unknown right uveal melanoma. Excisional biopsy was performed for both patients. Pathological assessment allowed the presence of melanoma cells. The lack of BAP1 nuclear expression on immunohistochemistry as well as the absence of cutaneous or mucosal melanoma were consistent with an uveal origin. Diffuse metastatic spread was noted for both patients. Systemic therapies were prescribed. Patient 1 died from metastatic spread (62 months and 4 months after uveal melanoma diagnosis and eyelids metastases removal, respectively) whereas patient 2 was still alive (14 months follow up). CONCLUSIONS: Eyelids metastases from uveal melanoma is an exceptional finding. Excisional biopsy and pathological assessment are of main importance to confirm the diagnosis and to identify genetic mutations for further targeted therapies. Currently, prognosis remains poor.

RESUMO

The aim was to investigate the levels of cytokines and soluble IL-6R in the tears of patients with thyroid-associated orbitopathy (TAO) disease. Schirmer's test was adopted to collect tears from TAO patients (N = 20, 17 women, mean age (±SD): 46.0 years (±13.4)) and healthy subjects (N = 18, 10 women, 45.4 years (±18.7)). Lacrimal cytokines and soluble IL-6R (sIL-6R) were measured using a 10-plex panel (Meso Scale Discovery Company) and Invitrogen Human sIL-6R Elisa kit, respectively. Tear levels of IL-10, IL-12p70, IL-13, IL-6 and TNF-α appeared significantly higher in TAO patients than in healthy subjects. Interestingly, IL-10, IL-12p70 and IL-8 levels increased in tears whatever the form of TAO whereas IL-13, IL-6 and TNF-α levels were significantly elevated in inflammatory TAO patients, meaning with a clinical score activity (CAS) ≥ 3, compared to controls. Furthermore, only 3 cytokines were strongly positively correlated with CAS (IL-13 Spearman coeff. r: 0.703, p = 0.0005; IL-6 r: 0.553, p = 0.011; IL-8 r: 0.618, p = 0.004, respectively). Finally, tobacco use disturbed the levels of several cytokines, especially in patient suffering of TAO. The differential profile of lacrimal cytokines could be useful for the diagnosis of TAO patients. Nevertheless, the tobacco use of these patients should be taken into account in the interpretation of the cytokine levels.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Thyroid-associated orbitopathy (TAO) is the most common autoimmune disease of the orbit. It occurs more often in patients presenting with hyperthyroidism, characteristic of Graves' disease, but may be associated with hypothyroidism or euthyroidism. The diagnosis of TAO is based on clinical orbital features, radiological criteria, and the potential association with thyroid disease. To date, there is no specific marker of the orbital disease, making the early diagnosis difficult, especially if the orbital involvement precedes the thyroid dysfunction. SUMMARY: The goal of this review is to present the disease and combine the available data in the literature concerning investigation of TAO biomarkers. CONCLUSIONS: Despite the progress done in the understanding of TAO disease, some important pieces are still missing. Typically, for the future, major efforts have to be done in the discovery of new biomarkers, validation of the suspected candidates on multicenter cohorts with standardized methodologies, and establishment of their clinical performances on the specific clinical application fields in order to improve not only the management of the TAO patients but also the therapeutic options and follow-up.

RESUMO

To date, Thyroid-Associated Orbitopathy (TAO), an autoimmune inflammatory disease affecting the eye, remains poorly characterised and its diagnosis challenging. The aim of this study was to investigate the tears of the TAO patients in order to identify potential biomarkers. Two independent quantitative Tandem Mass Tag™ 6-plex experiments were done. After in-solution digestion and isoelectric fractionation, the 12 fractions were analysed with a LTQ Orbitrap Velos coupled to a liquid chromatography. Raw files were searched against Swiss-Prot-AC database using Proteome Discoverer software, with a false discovery rate of 1% at peptide and protein levels. The differential proteins were then verified using orthogonal approaches in independent patients. Globally, 712 tear proteins were quantified with 2 unique peptides. Interestingly, cystatin c (TAO/controls ratio: 1.53), alpha-1 antichymotrypsin (ratio: 1.70) and retinal dehydrogenase (ratio: 0.68), displaying differential levels in the tears of TAO patients using proteomics experiments emerged as highly promising biomarkers after verification. In conclusion, this proteomics study supports the idea that tears reflect biological modifications occurring in a disease context and can therefore be a promising fluid for biomarker discovery. Moreover, our study identified three candidates that could in the future open new avenues in the diagnosis of TAO disease. SIGNIFICANCE: Thyroid associated orbitopathy (TAO) is the most common disease affecting the orbit. Moreover, the later, severe stages of the disease can be sight threating [1]. On the other hand, the early sign and symptoms can be mistaken with other ocular pathologies [2]. Here we explore the modification of the tear content of the TAO patients using proteomics strategies and we proposed three new biomarker candidates, which could allow the early diagnosis of the disease and prompt action to prevent more severe stages. Moreover, our findings could also help to better understand the pathophysiology of the disease.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To report the clinico-pathological features of solitary fibrous tumor occurring in the ocular adnexa (OA) in a single center. To assess the presence of NAB2-STAT6 genes fusion in OA solitary fibrous tumor detected by nuclear overexpression of STAT6. METHODS: Retrospective study including orbital and OA solitary fibrous tumors treated between 2006 and 2014 in our center. The clinical, radiological, and histopathological findings were evaluated. STAT6 expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: Five patients were identified and presented with a chronic OA mass. The tumors were radiologically well delimited, highly vascularized and without bone erosion. All the patients underwent complete surgical excision. Pathological examination confirmed solitary fibrous tumor in all cases. All tumors demonstrated a nuclear expression of STAT6. There were no recurrences, with a mean follow-up of 5 years after surgery. Our review demonstrated that proptosis was the most common presentation occurring in 60 % of the cases. In the ocular adnexa, adverse histological criteria were found in 19.7 % of the tumors, and recurrences were observed in 48 % of these cases. Thirty-six percent of patients presented at least one local recurrence, and metastastic spread was found in 2.4 % of the cases. Tumor-related death was described in two cases. CONCLUSION: Ocular adnexal SFT are rare and usually present as a chronic orbital mass with proptosis. In the OA, solitary fibrous tumor demonstrates STAT6 nuclear expression, as documented in other locations. Recurrences are unusual and metastasis exceptional. Initial surgical resection should be complete in order to avoid recurrence.

RESUMO

Enophthalmos is a relatively frequent and misdiagnosed clinical sign in orbital diseases. The knowledge of the different etiologies of enophthalmos and its adequate management are important, because in some cases, it could be the first sign revealing a life-threatening disease. This article provides a comprehensive review of the pathophysiology, evaluation, and management of enophthalmos. The main etiologies, such as trauma, chronic maxillary atelectasis (silent sinus syndrome), breast cancer metastasis, and orbital varix, will be discussed. Its objective is to enable the reader to recognize, assess, and treat the spectrum of disorders causing enophthalmos.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To determine the types and incidence of caruncular lesions and to investigate the correlation between clinical and histologic diagnosis. DESIGN: Retrospective, observational case series. METHODS: Records of patients with a lesion of the caruncle that was excised and submitted to our ocular pathology department between January 1979 and May 2005 were reviewed. Lesions were classified by histologic type and correlated with patient age, gender, and preoperative clinical diagnosis. RESULTS: A total of 195 consecutive caruncular lesions from 191 patients were identified. Twenty-four different types of lesions were identified; the most common were nevi (n = 92, 47%) and papillomas (n = 29, 15%). One keratoacanthoma was identified. One hundred eighty-three lesions (93.8%) were benign, six (3.1%) were premalignant, and five (2.6%) were malignant. Preoperative clinical diagnosis corresponded to postexcision histologic diagnosis in 73 cases (37.4%). Suspected malignancy was a common reason for excision (61 cases, 31.3%), but malignancy was confirmed in only three (4.9%) of 61 cases. Two of the five malignant lesions were clinically thought to be benign. CONCLUSIONS: We hereby report the first caruncular keratoacanthoma. The rarity and variety of caruncular lesions make clinical diagnosis difficult. Malignancy is clinically overestimated, and some malignant lesions can take a benign aspect, justifying close photographic follow-up of all lesions. Because caruncular malignant melanoma is associated with poor prognosis, pigmented lesions should be monitored carefully. In the absence of clear criteria for malignancy, any change in color, size, or vascularization of a caruncular lesion should hasten excision.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the results of Müller's muscle-conjunctival resection for correction of blepharoptosis and to discuss the advantages of this procedure. METHODS: 38 patients (39 eyelids) were submitted to Müller's muscle-conjunctival resection. Blepharoptosis varied from 1.0 mm to 3.0 mm (mean: 2.0 mm). The amount of eyelid elevation produced by phenylephrine guided the amount of tissue to be resected. RESULT: 33 eyelids (85%) treated with this procedure were cosmetically acceptable. CONCLUSIONS: Müller's muscle-conjunctival resection procedure is a relatively simple technique for blepharoptosis, with good levator function and positive 10% phenylephrine test. The advantages are: preservation of tarsus and predictable results.

RESUMO

OBJETIVO: Avaliar os resultados obtidos com a ressecção do músculo de Müller-conjuntiva no tratamento da blefaroptose e analisar suas vantagens. MÉTODOS: Trinta e oito pacientes (39 pálpebras) foram submetidos à ressecção do músculo de Müller-conjuntiva. Blefaroptose no pré-operatório variou de 1,0 mm a 3,0 mm (média: 2,0 mm). O valor de elevação palpebral produzido pelo teste da fenilefrina indicou a quantidade de tecido a ser ressecado. RESULTADOS: 33 pálpebras (85 por cento) que foram tratadas com este procedimento tiveram resultado estético satisfatório. CONCLUSAO: Ressecção do músculo de Müller-conjuntiva é técnica relativamente simples para o tratamento da blefaroptose, quando houver boa função do músculo levantador da pálpebra superior e teste da fenilefrina 10 por cento positivo. Suas vantagens são a preservação do tarso e o resultado cirúrgico previsível.
