Chronic optic nerve compression will result in irreversible diffuse nerve atrophy and is associated with permanent severe vision and field loss.Case report: A 12-year-old boy presented with acute visual loss, right eye ptosis, and decreased visual acuity (VA). Band atrophy at the optic disc and bitemporal hemianopia were found. MRI revealed a homogenic solid lesion in the intrasellar to suprasellar region, suggesting pituitary macroadenoma. Laboratory results showed increased prolactin hormone (33.6 ng/ml), decreased thyroid hormones (FT4 0.68 mg/dL and TSH 0.07 mg/dL), and decreased testosterone (< 0.025 ng/mL). Subfrontal craniotomy, hormonal therapy, and photon radiotherapy were done.

Ten days later, vision reduced to light-perception with significant vitritis overlying a subretinal lesion associated with the donor site. Vitreous tap cultured Scedosporium aurantiacum. Treatment consisted of vitrectomy, scleral debridement with corneal patch graft, with both systemic and intravitreal voriconazole. Further scleral debridement was attempted but unable to be completed due to its posterior extent. As repeat MRI orbits showed persistent active scleritis in proximity to the optic nerve which posed a risk of meningitis, a decision was made for enucleation.

Visual acuity was hand movement and conjunctival and circumcorneal injection, corneal oedema, anterior chamber reaction, and vitreous opacities were observed.

Those suffering from PDR tend to have worse vascular complications and prognosis. Platelets exposed by vasculopathy caused by DR maybe activated to try to maintain haemostasis. This activity can be illustrated by the mean platelet component (MPC). Therefore, by MPC monitoring we may be able to predict the progression from NPDR into PDR.Purpose: To investigate the difference of MPC in patients with NPDR and PDR.Study design: Cross-sectional.Materials and methods: This study involved 71 DR patients. Preliminary data regarding the patients’ demographic characteristics, diabetes history, related diseases, medication history, and general eye examination were recorded. Fundus photographs were taken after dilating eyedrops and DR was graded by an ophthalmologist. The patients were grouped into NPDR and PDR. Mean platelet component was analyzed using the automatic hematology analyzer ADVIA 120.Results: Mean platelet component (MPC) was 26.69 g/dl (± 1.79) and 25.52 g/dl (± 1.20) in the NPDR and PDR group, respectively (p = 0.002), but was not clinically significant. In depth analysis into the DR grades differed significantly between mild NPDR and high-risk PDR (p = 0.015), and moderate NPDR and high-risk PDR (p = 0.024). Using our definition of mild DR (mild and moderate NPDR) and severe DR (high-risk and advanced PDR), there was a significant difference with mean MPC of 27.01 g/dl (± 1.64) and 25.31 g/dl (± 1.22), respectively (p = 0.001). The proportion of activated platelets was also higher in severe DR. Negative correlations were found between MPC with duration of DM (r = -0.333; p = 0.004) and MPC with systolic blood pressure (r = -0.241; p = 0.043).Conclusion: There was a significant difference in MPC between NPDR and PDR, but the results should be interpreted carefully. Further analysis between the mild and severe form of DR strengthened this finding.","PeriodicalId":405983,"journal":{"name":"Malaysian Journal of Ophthalmology","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123961002","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 were divided into those who were treated with laser photocoagulation, and those who were observed. Laser treatment was given to infants with threshold and high-risk, pre-threshold disease. Refractive error was identified by cycloplegic refraction at 2 years of age.Results: There were 22 eyes from 11 infants in the laser-treated group, all of which had zone II ROP with plus disease; of these, four had stage 2 ROP and 18 had stage 3 ROP. There were 53 eyes from 28 patients in the non-laser-treated group. The mean birth weight for the laser-treated and non-laser-treated groups was 966.9 ± 92.6 g and 1019.3 ± 282.0 g, respectively (P = 0.398). Mean gestational age for the laser-treated and non-laser-treated groups was 28.2 ± 2.2 weeks and 27.7 ± 2.2 weeks, respectively (P = 0.390). At 2 years, the mean spherical equivalence for the laser-treated and non-laser treated groups was -0.55 ± 2.49 D and +0.17 ± 1.43 D, respectively, although the difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.120). Myopia was commoner in the laser-treated group (six eyes [27%] vs five eyes [9%], P = 0.047), and two eyes from two different infants (10%) from this group also developed high myopia (> -6.00 D). For hypermetropia and astigmatism, there were no statistically significant differences between the groups (all P > 0.05). High myopia was strongly related to the post-conceptual age when receiving laser therapy (P = 0.025). In the laser-treated group, two infants (9%) had amblyopia and one (5%) had exotropia at 2 years of age. None of the eyes developed structural retinal sequelae.Conclusion: Despite successful treatment of ROP, a significant number of laser-treated eyes developed myopia. This highlights the need for long-term refractive screening in these patients.","PeriodicalId":405983,"journal":{"name":"Malaysian Journal of Ophthalmology","volume":"105 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121309819","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}
