z EBOD Flashcards
most common FA pattern in CSR
Expanding dot or “ink blot”. Smoke-stack only in 10%
ICGA in CSR
vascular abnormalities of the choroid, including filling delays of the choroidal arteries and the choriocapillaris, venous dilation, vascular hyperpermeability and characteristic multifocal patchy areas of choroidal hypercyanescence that appear in early phases and slowly extend as the study progresses. A washout pattern is often seen as well.
FFA in CSR
hypoautofluorescence corresponding to sensory retinal detachment, and mottled pigmentation in the affected area of the RPE. There is also hyperautofluorescence on the outer edge of the elevated retina
The outer retina is supplied by the
ciliary arteries through the choriocapillaris
Inner retina receives its blood supply from the
central retinal artery
CRAO - OCT
normal macular profile with diffuse hyperreflectivity and loss of definition of the retinal inner layers
gyrate - gene, metabolism
OAT, deficient activity of ornithine aminotransferase, increased levels of ornithine
Purtscher’s retinopathy - signs
cotton-wool exudates and flame-shaped retinal haemorrhages around the optic nerve head, which are associated with a severe loss of vision
Purtscher-like retinopathy
acute pancreatitis, childbirth, kidney failure and as a presenting sign of systemic lupus erythematosus
Immune recovery uveitis
inactive CMV retinitis in the previously affected eye that occurs after CD4 recovery with HAART. Clinically, onset is insidious with vitritis and anterior uveitis. If left untreated, it follows a progressive course.
Lacquer cracks
breaks in Bruch’s membrane
myopic macular degeneration - men, women or equal
women
Sympathetic ophthalmia - time
65% of cases present between two weeks and two months after the trauma and 90% within the first year
Sympathetic ophthalmia - signs
may or may not be granulomatous, and vitritis; it may be associated with macular oedema, papillitis, choroiditis with exudative retinal detachment and Dalen–Fuchs nodules. The course is progressive and implacable with exacerbations of the disease that may lead to a poor visual prognosis
Degenerative retinoschisis - quadrant
inferotemporal
Paving-stone degeneration - where
quadrants inferior and anterior to the equator
Lattice degeneration - what is it
abnormality in the vitreoretinal interface
X-linked retinitis pigmentosa
least common form of RP but the most severe
XLRP carriers
tapetal-like reflex, changes in the retinal pigment epithelium and variable visual function. Optic disc pallor is another common clinical sign. slight reduction or delay in b-wave responses
Do anti-VEGF injections increase risk of cataract
No. Steroids do
anti-VEGF - complications
increase in IOP, retinal detachment (0.04-0.9%), intraocular haemorrhage (0.02-1.3%), uveitis/iritis (0.14-6.3%) and, less frequently, ocular hypotension, optic atrophy, traumatic cataract and retinal vascular obstruction
anti-VEGF in vitrectomized eyes
the drug’s half-life is reduced
choroidal rupture - where
post-equatorial retina
MacTel 2 - signs
blunting of the foveal reflex, crystalline deposits on the retinal surface, capillary ectasia, progression to pigment hyperplasia and foveal atrophy
MacTel 2 - OCTA
changes in the deep capillary plexus
indications for pneumatic retinopexy
certainty that all the breaks have been identified, breaks confined to the superior 8 clock hours, single or multiple breaks separated by no more than 1-2 clock hours, absence of grade C or D PVR, patient who is able to hold a specific posture and no media opacity. It can be performed in both phakic and pseudophakic patients and in vitrectomized or non-vitrectomized eyes. After retinal apposition (the fluid is usually reabsorbed in 6-8 hours), laser retinopexy or cryopexy can be performed
indications for PPV
pseudophakic patients, especially if it is not possible to locate the breaks, if the breaks are posterior, in giant tears, re-detachments, in cases of advanced proliferative vitreoretinopathy or when there is media opacity
demage in commotio
outer retina
Sea fan neovascularization
sickle cell retinopathy, thrombocytosis, sarcoidosis, retinitis pigmentosa, Eales
hemoglobin disease - most common proliferative in which
SC and S-thal
Signs of sickle cell
comma sign, sea fan (neovasc), salmon patches (intraretinal hemorrhages), black sunburst (chorioretinal scars), angioid streaks
hemorrhages in all retinal layers
retinal macroaneurysm
radiation retinopathy - how many gray
30-35 grays
OIS syndrome - 5 year mortality
40-50%
saccular aneurysms (light-bulb dilations), intraretinal cholesterol depositions
Coats
temporal to fovea
MacTel 2
MacTel types nad prognosis
1 good, 2, 3 guarded
MacTel 3
bi, later, capillary obliteration
The Diabetic Retinopathy Clinical Research Network (DRCR.net) protocol I study
intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy (Ranibizumab) achieves better visual acuity than focal laser for central macular oedema
T protocol
superiority of Aflibercept over Bevacizumab and Ranibizumab in improving ETDRS visual acuity in the treatment of diabetic macular oedema
