It can occur at any age but predominantly affects patients in theworking-age group. Objective: To report the clinical pattern of Uveitis in North India. Settings andDesign: A prospective study in a regional eye institute. Methods: After taking informed consent,100 patients with Uveitis aged 20–60 years were recruited from eye OPD between 2012- 2014.Detailed history, complete ophthalmic examination, standard diagnostic laboratory tests andradiographic studies wherever required were made. Statistical analysis used: Descriptive.Results: The mean age being 41.55 years. There were 57% males and 43% females with 32%acute uveitis and 68% chronic uveitis cases. Anterior Uveitis was seen in 83% of patients, followedby posterior Uveitis (7%), pan-uveitis (6%) and intermediate Uveitis (4%). A definite associationwith the systemic disease was determined in 27% of cases. The most frequently observed systemicdiseases were ankylosing spondylitis, Tuberculosis and herpes zoster ophthalmicus (6% cases each).This was followed by HIV (3%), sarcoidosis (3%), ulcerative colitis (2%) and endophthalmitis (1%).No specific aetiology or association with systemic diseases could be established in 73% of cases. Inmost cases, the systemic disease was not suspected before eye involvement and was recognizedonly after the subsequent diagnostic procedures. Conclusion: The etiological diagnosis of Uveitis isoften challenging as there are marked variations in ocular and systemic signs and symptoms. Asignificant number of cases may unfold with the evolution of advanced techniques.","PeriodicalId":112259,"journal":{"name":"Tropical Journal of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132686898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are many associated risk factors in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG),but recently, SDB, though a neglected one, is coming up as a risk factor. However, various studieshave reported controversial findings. Objective: To evaluate the relationship between SDB andPOAG. Design: A hospital-based case-control study. Methods: A total of 400 patients between 30–70 years were recruited from eye OPD between 2008- 2010. They were divided into two groups, 200cases with established POAG and 200 age and sex-matched healthy subjects with normal IOP in thecontrol group. Detailed history, complete ophthalmic and ENT examination was made along withBMI, blood pressure and neck girth measurement. Both groups were interviewed with aquestionnaire regarding SDB and were recorded on the Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS). Results:The mean age being 55.02 ± 8.66 in the POAG group and male predominance noted both in POAGand SDB patients with ESS> 10 was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Also, patients in the POAGgroup with ESS > 10 had more IOP and BMI, greater neck girth, high BP and more ENT problemswith p-value < 0,001, which is highly significant, thus showing the relationship between SDB andPOAG. Conclusions: Increased community awareness and earlier detection of glaucoma and itscorrelation with SDB results in decreased morbidity.","PeriodicalId":112259,"journal":{"name":"Tropical Journal of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology","volume":"158 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129198318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They laterunderwent DSA ( Digital Subtraction Angiography) for confirmation followed by definitive treatment.Results: Out of four patients who had direct CCF, three cases were managed by endovascularembolization of the parent artery. The remaining one case was conservatively managed by carotidmassage as it was a low flow fistula and the patient also had Parkinson’s disease. Four cases thathad indirect CCF were managed by carotid massage. Complete closure of the fistula is seen in allcases. Patients were followed up for 1 month, 3 months and 6 months and clinical outcome wasevaluated. Conclusion: CCF should be suspected in the presence of arteriolised conjunctivalvessels, proptosis and audible bruit. Diagnosis is by radiological tests like ultrasonography, Doppler,CT scan and MRI. The confirmatory test is digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Direct CCF iseffectively treated with endovascular therapy by coiling the fistula and indirect CCF is managed bymanual compression.
