Multisystem diseases manifestations in ophthalmology Flashcards
what can be found in mild non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy 1
microaneurysms
what can be found in moderate non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy 5
microaneurysms
blot haemorrhages
hard exudates
cotton wool spots
venous bleeding
what can be found in severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy 3
blot haemorrhages + microanueuryssm in 4 quadrants
venous bleeding in 2 quadrants
intraretinal microvascualr abnormalitiy in any quadrant
define intraretinal microvascular abnormalities (IRMA)
dilated and tortuous capillaries in the retina
act as shunt between arterial and venous vessels in the retina
what is found in proliferative diabetic retinopathy 2
neovascularisation
vitreous haemorrhage
what is found in diabetic maculopathy 2
macular oedema
ischaemic maculopathy
complications of diabetic retinopathy 5
retinal detachment
vitreous haemorrhage (bleeding into vitreous humour)
rebeosis iridis (new blood vessel formation in the iris)
optic neuropathy
cataracts
Mx of diabetic retinopathy 3
laser photcoagualtion
anti-vegf
vitreoretinal srugery -in severe disease
complications of hypertension in ophthalmology 3
hypertensive retinopathy
choroidopathy
optic neuropathy
what signs are seen in the retina to suggest hypertensive retinoapthy 6
cotton wool spots
hard exudates
retinal haemorrhage
papilloedema
cause of silver wiring in retina
where the walls of arterioles become thickened and sclarosed causing increased reflection of the light
cause of arteriovenous nipping
artieroles cause compression of veins where they cross
-again due to sclerosis and hardening of the arterioles
cause of cotton wool spots
-caused by ischaemia and infarction
cause of hard exudates
-caused by damaged vessels leaking lipids into retina
cause of retinal haemorrhage
-caused by damaged vessels rupturing and releasing blood into the retina
