Thorough systemic review and ongoing monitoring is necessary even after commencement of corticosteroid therapy; hence, referral to rheumatology and immunology is recommended. Early immunosuppressive therapy is often more pressing in systemic vasculitides other than GCA, and can significantly impact on the patient's prognosis.","PeriodicalId":15372,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical & Experimental Ophthalmology","volume":"146 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86756240","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}

The next day, she developed a headache, bilateral retro-orbital pain and mild photosensitivity. On the second day, she developed swelling and redness of left eyelids, along with discomfort on eye movements. This was treated as conjunctivitis with chloramphenicol eye drops in the community. It did not resolve and progressed to more swelling with pain on eye movement, and diplopia in all gaze positions other than primary. She denied any history of trauma or sinusitis, and had no recent fever. She has history of trigeminal neuralgia, for which she takes pregabalin. The visual acuities were 6/4.8 in the right eye and 6/6 in the left eye. The intraocular pressures were 22 mmHg in the right eye and 26 mmHg in the left eye. There was marked swelling of left periorbital area, with gross proptosis of 4 mm on Hertel exophthalmometry. The left eye had restricted movement in all gazes (Figure 1). The left upper lid was erythematous with mild tender swelling. On Ishihara colour plates, the patient scored equally in both eyes. There were normal pupillary reflexes, with no relative afferent pupillary defect. Slit lamp examination showed marked conjunctival chemosis, but the anterior chamber and posterior segment were quiet. There were no signs of uveitis or scleritis. Urgent blood tests were done. These showed a normal white blood cell and platelet count, but a mildly elevated Creactive protein of 29 mg/L (reference range < 5). Thyroid stimulating hormone was within the normal range. An orbital computed tomography showed extensive pre-septal oedema and retro-orbital fat stranding. The extraocular muscles were of normal sizes. The paranasal sinuses were normal (Figure 2). The diagnosis of orbital inflammation secondary to zoledronic acid was made. The patient was given intravenous 500 mg methylprednisolone. The signs and symptoms rapidly improved after initial steroid within 24 hours, and the patient was switched to oral prednisone 60 mg daily (1 mg/kg dose). She returned for review 2 weeks after the initial presentation. The left-sided orbital inflammation had completely settled, and there was a full range of eye movement, with no proptosis. The prednisone course was rapidly tapered. Zoledronic acid is a bisphosphonate medication, commonly used for prevention and treatment of osteoporosis and also hypercalcaemia, metastatic bone disease and Paget's disease of bone. Prevalence of osteoporosis in Australia is estimated to be “5.9% for men and 22.8% for women aged 50 years and over, and 12.9% for men and 42.5% for women aged 70 years and over.” Zoledronic acid is considered the first-line prevention and treatment therapy of osteoporosis. Bisphosphonates reduces bone resorption through several mechanisms.

The ophthalmologist has specific responsibility for the intraocular chemotherapy, which is delivered to the eye by intravitreal injection. The most commonly injected drugs are methotrexate—an anti‐metabolite—and rituximab—an anti‐human B cell monoclonal antibody.

The rest of his cranial nerve examination was normal. Contrast-enhanced MRI of the brain and orbits was initially reported as normal. On secondary review, a focal lesion involving the cisternal right fourth nerve (CNIV) was detected. Without contrast, the lesion was isointense with brain parenchyma (Figure 1A); with contrast, the lesion enhanced intensely (Figure 1B). These radiological findings were most in keeping with a CNIV schwannoma. His ocular motility examination remained stable over the next 22 years as did the radiological appearance of the presumed CNIV schwannoma (Figure 2).

ECD frequently involves multiple systems, such as the skin, bone and central nerve system. The diagnosis of ECD is made by identifying typical histopathological findings in the context of clinical and radiological features, including the infiltration of foamy or lipid-laden histiocytes and positive immunohistochemical staining for CD68. Ocular manifestations have been documented in 25% to 30% of ECD patients, mainly presenting as xanthelasma in the eyelid and infiltration of the orbit. Patients with orbital involvement may complain of exophthalmos, retro-orbital pain or blurring of vision. ECD rarely involves intraocular structures and only less than 10 cases have been reported to date. We hereby described a case of ECD woman with concurrent bilateral choroidal and orbital infiltrates. A 41-year-old woman presented with progressive visual decrease and intermittent pain in her right eye for 2 years. Her ocular history was unremarkable, but she had a history of diabetes insipidus and recurrent pain in her bilateral lower extremities for 5 years. At presentation, her bestcorrected visual acuity was finger count on the right and 20/20 on the left. Intraocular pressure was within the normal range. Hertel exophthalmometer measurements were 16 and 19 mm on the right and left side, respectively. External eye examination revealed sporadic xanthoma in her right eyelids (Figure 1A, arrowhead).

The majority of affected patients are oligosymptomatic with diplopia only and can be observed with serial contrastenhanced MRIs coupled with symptomatic management such as prism glasses or strabismus surgery. It is important to periodically monitor these patients as there is a potential for haemorrhage or growth resulting in brainstem compression. Concerning symptoms include sensory changes, paresis, ataxia and other cranial nerve palsies. Surgical resection is almost always associated with persistence or worsening of superior oblique weakness and carries the risk of stroke, intracranial haemorrhage and damage to surrounding cranial nerves. Therefore, surgery is not recommended as initial treatment of an isolated CNIV schwannoma, but may be necessary if the tumour rapidly enlarges causing mass effect. In slowly progressive cases, radiotherapy may be considered as an alternative treatment modality. In particular, gamma knife stereotactic radiosurgery has recently delivered promising results with small case series reporting reduced tumour volume and improvement of diplopia. This is the longest published follow-up period for a presumed CNIV schwannoma, demonstrating its typical extremely slow-growing nature. Clinical and radiologic observation is favoured over neurosurgical intervention in such cases.","PeriodicalId":15372,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical & Experimental Ophthalmology","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82434055","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}
