Clinical evaluation, fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography findings are included. Results: Hypertension is strongly associated with macroaneurysm development. Indirect laser treatment and vitrectomy are proven useful when indicated according to the type of the lesion and the visual outcome is encouraging even after several interventions. Conclusion: Although acquired RAMs are usually considered solitary lesions, a patient with four RAMs in the same eye is described in the present report. The characteristics of each RAM require a different therapeutic strategy and close monitoring is also essential.","PeriodicalId":373984,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ophthalmology Research Reviews & Reports","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127106004","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}

Patient was followed up for 2 years with stable clinical course and without developing any further DR and without receiving any treatment. we assumed that this autoregression of neovascularization could be related to her blood sugar control secondary to bariatric surgery.

The true incidence of ARN is not known. Polymerase chain reaction testing from aqueous sample provides a rapid and sensitive method of identifying the viral etiology but one should not delay treatment while awaiting PCR results. Due to its rarity and lack of large-scale prospective research trials, still debate continues over recommended practice guidelines for an ideal treatment protocol.

First published article of mucor mycosis (MM) leading to loss of eye and disfigurement of the face was traced to 1970 in USA. First media report in India came from Ganga Ram Hospital in Delhi, that treated 12 cases of COVID triggered deadly Mucor mycosis fungus cases. Eye & ENT surgeon had to do resection and fungus debridement in 10 cases in one fortnight in December 2020 of which half lost one eye permanently. Mucor mycosis (MM) is an aggressive opportunistic fungal infection, affecting any parts of the body, but rhino-cerebral-orbital type is the commonest leading to blindness and facial disfiguration. Doctors at Bowring and Lady Curzon Medical College Hospital, Bengaluru which has treated more than 140 patients with mucor mycosis, after cell culture tests have confirmed in 95% of the cases the presence of Mucor mycosis, and remaining MM, Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans. Since Mid-April 2021 India has reported about 31,000 MM cases as on 12 June 2021. It is fared that nearly 50% of them have lost at least one eye and some both. Five states of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh contribute nearly two thirds of the cases and deaths. The latest report of 1700 hrs on 13 June 2021, from Maharashtra puts the total cases at 7395, deaths at 720, 2212 cured and 4463 still under treatment. This state has seen threefold increase in the MM cases reported in just 3 weeks’ time between 25th May and 13 June 2021. Among those recovered one has witnessed lot of facial disfigurement, due to the damages to eyes, nose, jaw bones and oral cavity. Some of them who can afford go in for multiple plastic surgeries costing anywhere between INR 2.5 to 15 million. Traditionally mucor mycosis treatment must start without waiting for laboratory confirmation, but recently a new diagnostic tool with the capability for confirming infection in 24-48 hours is being promoted and is likely to help minimise the damage at least among those who can afford. In this review I have collated and presenting epidemiology, Pathophysiology, available diagnostic support, and treatment of MM infections affecting eyes, nose and disfigurement of face and possible reconstructive surgeries from various sources.","PeriodicalId":373984,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ophthalmology Research Reviews & Reports","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130102755","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}
