Ocular Disease III: Exam 2: Lecture 12: Retinal Vascular Disease Flashcards
Sickle Cell Disease
- What is it?
a. Get decreased solubility of Hb when? - 4 Types of this disease
- Most common Trait type in USA?
- Which Disease has the MOST % of Ocular Manifestations?
- Normal Hemoglobin A, but Mutant Hb S +/o HbC
a. when Deoxygenated (SICKLING of RBC) - a. Sickle Cell Trait (AS)
b. Sickle Cell Anemia (SS)
c. Sickle Cell Disease (SC)
d. Sickle Cell Thalasemia (SThaI) - Any Sickle Hb (10%)
* Sickle Trait AS (8% of US population) - SC (Sickle Cell Disease). Highest rate (1/3). Although this disease is very RARE! (0.2% in US), but 33% have RETINOPATHY
Ocular Findings: Sickle Cell Findings
- What is seen in Bulbar Conj?
a. What else?
c. Neo?
- Comma-shaped vessels in the Bulbar Conj
a. Black Sunbursts (RPE Hyperplasia 2ndary to DEEP Retinal Vascular Occlusions)
b. Salmon Patch Hemorrhages (Orange-pink-colored Intraretinal Heme)
c. Peripheral NEO (SEAFAN RETINOPATHY) w/Vitreous Heme and Tractional RD!
Nonproliferative Sickle Cell Retinopathy *KNOW
- Heme Sequelae of occlusion occur in Periphery…
* KNOW THAT IT’s OKAY BECAUSE THEY’RE NOT PROLIFERATIVE!
- a. Salmon Patch Heme
b. Refractile deposits or Spots
c. Black Sunburst Lesions
- Arterial, Capillary Occlusive disease
- Anastomosis and Remodeling Occur in Periphery
- VA loss in early Dz is d/t occlusion of parafoveal capillaries and arterioles
- CRAO
Proliferative Sickle Cell: KNOW!
- Stage 1
- Stage 2
- Stage 3
- Stage 4
- Stage 5
- Peripheral Retinal Arteriolar Occlusions
- Peripheral Arterio-Venous ANASTOMOSES
- NEO Fronds known as SEA FANS
- Vit Heme as Tractional Forces and Vitreous Collapse Tear Fragile NEO Membranes
- ADVANCED Disease. See SEVERE VITREOUS Traction and RD.
Sickle Cell Retinopathies: Retinal Vascular Occlusion
- Proliferative
a. AV Anastomoses (Remodeling) –> leads to what?
b. This can lead to what 2 things?
Resolution
- NonProliferative
a. What happens?
b. This leads to one of three things:
i. Preretinal
ii. Intraretinal Salmon Patch
iii. Subretinal
- a. Seafan NEO
b. Autoinfarction, or VIT HEME which will lead to RETINAL BREAKS –> Tractional and Rhegmatogenous RD - a. Hemorrhage
b. i. Vitreous Fibrosis
ii. Refractile Spots
iii. Black Sunburst
Management of Sickle Cell Retinopathy
- Goal is to do what?
- How often SHOULD THEY BE SEEN?
- If they’re Dx with Proliferative Disease: what should be done?
- Does Cryotherapy work?
* If he has this condition, which is the Treatment of choice? - **KNOW: If someone had DR, with no Macular Edema and NO CSME, what would they do for Tx?
- Patient comes in with something like this…(details…of Sickle Cell Retinopathy): You notice a Seafan going on, what is the Tx of CHOICE?
- What medication is given for Sickle Cell Tx?
- Reduce risk, prevent or Eliminate RETINAL NEO!
- TWICE A YEAR for an Ocular Exam with DFE (DR –> Yearly)
- FA–> PRP! (basically…NEO)
- NO. Not efficacious for SC Retinopathy and is Associated with HIGH COMPLICATION RATES!
* CIRCLE PRP, NOT Cryotherapy!!! - PRP. they would NEVER do an Anti-VEGF Tx!
- PRP!
- Hydroxyurea
Retinopathy of Prematurity
- AKA?
- Normal Retinal Vascularity proceeds from optic disc to periphery and is complete in nasal quadrants at 36 wks, temporal at 40 wks gestation
a. What increase risk of development of ROP? - Location determines prognosis
- Retrolental Fibroplasia
- a. High O2 concentration, Low birth wt, short gestation period
- Zones I-III
* Staged retinopathy: stages 1-5
Retinopathy of Prematurity
- Zone I: includes what?
- Zone 2?
- Zone 3?
- Retinopathy of Prematurity
a. Should do 2 DFE via BIO at 4-6 wks, then q1-2 wks until retina is FULLY Vascularized if what? - Threshold Disease:
- Optic nerve and Macula
- Midperiphery
- Ora Serrata
- a. Birth wgt 5 clock hrs of Extraretinal NEO w/in Zone 1 or 2
ROP: Retin…of Prematurity **KNOW
- Stage 1
- Stage 2
- Stage 3
- Stage 4
- Stage 5
* 6. One of the MOST IMPORTANT things to SAY TO THE KID?
- DISTINCT LINE b/w VASCULARIZED and AVASCULARIZED region of the retina
- Line in Stage 1 GAINS DEPTH and HEIGHT (more pronounced)
- Vessels extend beyond retina and into the Vitreous
- Partial RD (DRAGGED DISK)
- Complete RD
- TELL them NO PE. NO GYM. No BASEBALL. NO FAST APPROACHING OBJECTS!! (can save the kids their eyesight).
* Put them in swimming instead. Goal is to PREVENT RD.
* LOW VISION PATIENTS!
ROP: Associated Ocular Conditions…
Myopia w/Astig. Aniso. Strab. Amblyopia. Cataract. Glaucoma. RD. Angle Closure Glaucoma in 5th Decade.
Exudative Retinopathy Late Sequelae.
ROP: Major Tx?!
- 2 big things
- CRYOTHERAPY OR LASER PHOTOCOAGULATION!
* to avascular ant. retina in ROP w/THRESHOLD DISEASE decreases by half unfavorable outcomes
Vasculitis
- May accompany what?
- Early Clinical manifestations?
- Primary Inflammatory Disease
2. Perivascular infiltrates and Sheathing of Retinal VESSELS
Vasculitis
- Sheathing looks like what?
- Is it common in Connective tissue Disorders?
- What would you see with Connective Tissue Diseases?
- WHITEISH around VESSEL. *White cuff along the vessels is a perivenous lymphocytic infiltration
- NO! EXTREMELY RARE (like in lupus).
- several Bland occlusions that appear like CWS, Branch retinal artery occlusions, and Obliterative Vasculopathy
Primary Idiopathic Retinal Vasculitis: EALES Disease
- Mainly in which sex?
- What is it?
- Uni/Bi?
- Commonly u see what?
- Associated with what?
- Cause of EALES DISEASE?
- Clinically indistinguishable from what?
- Dx/Tx?
- MALES
- Obliterative Periphlebitis
- Peripheral Retina BILATERALLY
- Peripheral Retinal NEO with Resultant Vit. Heme
- Tuberculin Hypersensitivity may be present.
- IDIOPATHIC!!
- From Past retinal Vasculitis
- Look for UNDERLYING ETIOLOGY, PRP!!! (NEO)
Coats Disease
- What is it?
- Vascular Abnormalities..
- Evidence suggests what?
- Retinal Telangiectasia
- Venous dilation…microaneurysms, Fusiform Capillary Dilation, Exudative RD, Capillary Non-perfusion on RSFA
* Wide range in variation in Presentation - a Somatic Mutation of the NDP gene (Norrie Disease Protein)
