In accelerated hypertension (malignant – acute, hypertensive crisis), as in Toxemia of Pregnancy, Essential HPN, Renal Disease, Tumors, Connective Tissue Disorders
• Acute phase: yellow spots at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium
• Pathology: fibrinoid necrosis of choriocapillaris, with damage to RPE / intense plasma leakage can cause exudative retinal detachment / later, lesions scar with pigment or depigmentation.
This complication only happens on acute accelerated hypertension, toxemia of pregnancy na mag cause ng exudative retinal detachment.
HYPERTENSIVE CHOROIDOPATHY
May be a direct ischemic episode of the optic nerve : Ischemic Neuropathy
• Upon resolution, many develop optic atrophy
HYPERTENSIVE OPTIC NEUROPATHY
there is intact eye movement but
there is no vision. Normal and MRI, yun pala may stroke sa occipital cortex
Cortical blindness
Remember that you will only see the cherry red spot in 2 instances
one is in central retinal artery occlusion, second is the tay sachs disease
usually in elderly people with systemic vascular disease : more in men than women (
2:1) : at least 90% carotid stenosis atherosclerosis most common cause 40%
; 20% bilateral : : 5 yr. mortality rate is
Ocular Ischemic Syndrome
vegetations from valves become emboli and cause retinal vascular occlusion
Subacute Infectious Endocarditis
from distant sites : operative sites, cardiac valves, cholesterol plaques
Embolic phenomena
Risk factors in having diabetic retinopathy
Duration of Diabetes • Glycaemic Control • Age • Type of Diabetes • Family Hx of DM • Blood Pressure • Serum Lipids • Nutritional Factors/Obesity • Clotting Factors • Renal Disease
Funds changes in
Non proliferative -Diabetic Retinopathy)
- Microaneurysms
- Retinal hemorrhages
- Hard exudates
- Cottonwool spots or soft exudates
- Venous beading
- Intraretinal microvascular abnormalities
Fundus Changes in Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (PDR)
- Neovascularization of the disc and retina
- Vitreous and preretinal hemorrhages
- Fibrovascular membranes
- Vitreoretinal traction
Causes of visual loss in
Diabetic retinopathy
Macular Edema • Macular / Premacular Hemorrhage • Massive Vitreous Hemorrhage • Traction Retinal Detachment • Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment • Neovascular Glaucoma Visual loss and retinal changes are irreversible. Early detection of Diabetic Retinopathy is crucial in blindness prevention.
