[Number, shape, and topography of leakage points in patients with central serous chorioretinopathy].

Authors:
Remo Turchetti Haroldo Vieira de Moraes Hugo Soares Maia

Arq Bras Oftalmol 2005 May-Jun;68(3):317-20. Epub 2005 Jul 26.

Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Purpose: To evaluate the number, shape and topography of leakage points in patients with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).

Methods: Digital photographic files of fluorescein angiography with the diagnosis of CSC were reviewed by the author. The cases considered in remission and the examinations related to the same episode were excluded. The author filled out a form containing medical record number, initials, sex, age, date of the examination and leakage point characteristics (number, shape, and topography) of the selected cases.

Results: The examinations of 418 patients (455 eyes) were included, with a male:female ratio of 2.32:1. Ninety-one point fifteen percent of the patients presented the disease unilaterally and 8.85% bilaterally. The mean age was 43.04 years (range, 19-68 years). Among the 455 selected eyes, 88.35% presented typical forms of CSC while 10.11% decompensation of the retinal pigment epithelium and 1.54% with isolated retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) detachment. The evaluation of typical forms of CSC showed a leakage point with uniform dye spread (inkblot) in 88.81% and 11.19% with a smoke-stack phenomenon. Regarding the leakage points, 46.01% were located in the upper nasal quadrant, 23.27% in the upper temporal quadrant, 19.18% in the lower nasal quadrant, 11.01% in the lower temporal quadrant and 0.53% in the subfoveal area.

Conclusions: In our series men were affected approximately two times more often then women, most of them with a unilateral involvement and in around the fourth decade of life. About 90% of the patients presented the typical forms, with 1 or 2 inkblot points or leakage. The superior nasal quadrant was the most affected. The isolated RPE detachment rarely occurred. Decompensation of RPE affected about 10% of the patients.

Turk J Ophthalmol 2021 Feb;51(1):26-31

University of Health Sciences Turkey, Gülhane Faculty of Medicine, Department of Ophthalmology Ankara, Turkey.

Objectives: To determine the normal values for retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) in myopic patients without glaucoma and analyze the changes in their color map.

Materials And Methods: A total of 245 eyes without glaucoma were included in the study. According to the degree of myopia, the cases were divided into 4 groups: control group (+1. Read More

Bulbar Redness and Dry Eye Disease: Comparison of a Validated Subjective Grading Scale and an Objective Automated Method.

Authors:
Marc-Matthias Schulze Alison Ng Mike Yang Farah Panjwani Sruthi Srinivasan Lyndon W Jones Michelle Senchyna

Optom Vis Sci 2021 Feb;98(2):113-120

Allergan plc, Irvine, California.

Significance: In this study, assessments of conjunctival redness were performed to evaluate whether patients with or without dry eye disease (DED) could be discriminated based on this measure. Our findings suggest that subjectively grading redness by quadrant, as opposed to automated en face measurements, may be more suitable for this purpose.

Purpose: This study aimed to quantify bulbar redness using the validated bulbar redness (VBR) grading scale and an automated objective method (Oculus Keratograph 5M; K5M) in participants with DED and non-DED controls. Read More

Inner and outer retinal layer thickness alterations in pediatric and juvenile craniopharyngioma.

Authors:
Ga-In Lee Kyung-Ah Park Sei Yeul Oh Doo-Sik Kong Sang Duk Hong

Sci Rep 2021 Feb 2;11(1):2840. Epub 2021 Feb 2.

Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Samsung Medical Center, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea.

We evaluated postoperative retinal thickness in pediatric and juvenile craniopharyngioma (CP) patients with chiasmal compression using optical coherence tomography (OCT) auto-segmentation. We included 18 eyes of 18 pediatric or juvenile patients with CP and 20 healthy controls. Each thickness of the macular retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), ganglion cell layer (GCL), inner plexiform layer (IPL), inner nuclear layer, outer plexiform layer, outer nuclear layer, and photoreceptor layer was compared between the CP patients and healthy controls.

Eur J Ophthalmol 2021 Feb 2:1120672121992007. Epub 2021 Feb 2.

Second Department of Ophthalmology, Pomeranian Medical University, Szczecin, Zachodniopomorskie, Poland.

Purpose: To assess the thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), ganglion cell and inner plexus layer (GCIPL) and blood flow parameters in retrobulbar vessels, and to analyze correlations between these parameters in myopes.

Methods: The study included forty myopic and 20 healthy eyes. Standard eye examination was supplemented with OCT of the optic nerve and macula (GCIPL, RNFL, RNFL in each quadrant and rim area of the optic nerve) and color Doppler imaging of retrobulbar arteries [peak systolic and end-diastolic velocities, pulsatile index and resistance index (RI) in the ophthalmic (OA), central retinal (CRA), nasal posterior ciliary and temporal posterior ciliary arteries].
