leukocytes in the anterior chamber is indicative of
Acute Uveitis (iritis)
epidemiology of Acute Uveitis (iritis)
associated with many infections/diseases:
Betche’s, Chrons, gout, Zoster, Reiter’s Syndrome** (triad of arthritis, urethritis and uveitus, r. arthritis, sarcoid and TB
s&s of Acute Uveitis (iritis)
pain, photophobia, redness, miosis (small pupil)
tx/management for Acute Uveitis (iritis)
emergent opthoalmogist consult
-tx based on cause
sudden monocular loss of vision with cherry-red spot* “box car segment” is indicative of
Central Artery Occlusion
risk factors for Central Artery Occlusion
> 50 y/o, r/o Giant Cell Arteritis, DM, hyperlipidemia, HTN, oral contraceptives, AFIB, emboli
diagnostic studies for Central Artery Occlusion for Giant Cell Arteritis
erythrocyte sedimentation rate ESR, C-reactive protein
diagnostic studies for Central Artery Occlusion screening for DM
fasting glucose and A1c
diagnostic studies for Central Artery Occlusion screening for hyperlipidemia
fasting lipid levels and LFTs
diagnostic studies for Central Artery Occlusion screening for Cardiac
CBC w plt
- electrolytes
- TSH/FT4
- renal fxn
- carotid arteries (U/S, EKG, echo of heart)
referral for Central Artery Occlusion
Admit to hospital
-emergent consult to optho and cardio
treatment for Central artery Occlusion with Giant Cell Arteritis
high dose of steroids and possible artery biopsy
treatment for Central Artery Occlusion with cardiac
tx underlying cause, may need anticoagulant therapy, at risk for stroke
a pt has sudden monocular loss of vision, no pain, no redness, with “blood and thunder” retinal. This is indicative of?
central vein occlusion
risk factors for central vein occlusion
DM, HTN, hyperlipidemia, OCs, smoking, glaucoma
diagnostic studies for Central Vein Occlusion
fundoscopic exam - blood and thunder retinal and neovascualrization
treatment and management for Central Vein Occlusion
refer: emergent consult to optho to prevent retinal detachment
- PCP tx underlying cause (dm etc)
pt has sudden loss of vision and floaters, this indicates….
Vitreous Hemorrhage
risk factors of Vitreous Hemorrhage
retinal tears, retinal detachment, DM, sickle cell, blood dycrasias, trauma, ARMD
referral for Vitreous Hemorrhage
emergent consult to optho
pt has an abrupt monocular (bino) loss of vision (partial or completer) that lasts only a FEW minutes, AKA: ocular transient ischemic attack (TIA); this is indicative of….
Amaurosis Fugax
risk factors or Amaurosis Fugax
DM, HTN, hyperlipidemia, Giant Cell Arteritis, migraine
epidemiology of Amaurosis Fugax
caused by an emboli if vascular
PE of Amaurosis Fugax
complete ocular exam, cardiac, and neurological exam
diagnostic studies for Amaurosis Fugax
lipid panel
-glucose, A1c, CBC, TSH/FT4, electrolytes, carotid artery U/S, EKG, echo
complications of Amaurosis Fugax
central retinal artery occlusion, stroke
