Acetazolamide-Induced Bilateral Ciliochoroidal Effusion Syndrome in Plateau Iris Configuration.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Our purpose is to describe a 60-year-old male, who has plateau iris configuration and developed bilateral ciliochoroidal effusion syndrome after ingestion of acetazolamide.

Observations

Our case was a research participant in a multi-center clinical study (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01677507). During the course of this study, he was treated with a single dose of acetazolamide (500 mg), and seven days later treated with latanoprost one drop daily at bedtime both eyes for seven days, and then was administered another dose of acetazolamide (500 mg). Several hours later he complained of blurred vision in the distance and mild headache. On examination, he had a myopic shift, intraocular pressures of 36 mmHg in right eye and 35 mmHg in left eye, shallow anterior chambers both eyes, and occluded angles by gonioscopy both eyes. An echographic exam confirmed the bilateral ciliochoroidal effusion syndrome. He was treated by no further dosing of acetazolamide and started on timolol, atropine and prednisolone. Two weeks later, the bilateral choroidal effusion and acute angle closure were resolved. Repeat echography showed plateau iris configuration.

Conclusions and importance

To the best of our knowledge, drug-induced bilateral ciliochoroidal effusion syndrome has not been reported with acetazolamide in plateau iris configuration.

Ciliochoroidal effusion with persistent hypotony after trabectome surgery.

Project description:The trabectome is a novel form of ab interno trabeculectomy that ablates and remove the trabecular meshwork and the inner wall of Schlemm's canal and subsequently expose the natural drainage pathway (the collector channels) to aqueous humor. Complications associated with the trabectome are few and among them is transient hypotony. We report a case of a prolonged ciliochoroidal effusion with hypotony after ab interno trabeculectomy using the trabectome with cyclodialysis cleft detected by 80 MHz ultrasound biomicroscopy in a previously neither nonoperated nor traumatized eye. Transient hypotony has been reported after the trabectome surgery. Very few cases were associated with inadvertent intraoperative cyclodialysis, but there are no cases of prolonged hypotony with ciliochoroidal effusion with cyclodialysis. In our case, associated transient intraoperative and postoperative hypotony with a history of chronically high pressure along with the possible contribution of low-grade postoperative inflammation may have precipitated the ciliochoroidal effusion with prolonged hypotony associated with cyclodialysis.

Transient Myopia and Ciliochoroidal Effusion following Influenza Vaccination.

Project description:IntroductionThe aim of the study was to report a case of ocular adverse events following influenza vaccination which involved bilateral myopic shift, ciliochoroidal effusion, and fine retinal folds in a middle-aged woman.Case presentationA 42-year-old female presented with sudden-onset painless binocular decreased distance vision. She had received a quadrivalent influenza vaccine (Influvac Tetra) injection 10 days prior, a few days after which she experienced blurred vision. Her initial uncorrected visual acuity and refraction were 20/200 and -3.00/-1.00 × 180 in the right eye, 20/100 and -3.00/-0.50 × 50 in the left eye. Intraocular pressure was within normal limits bilaterally. Anterior segment examination was significant for bilateral shallow anterior chambers (AC) and narrow iridocorneal angles with no cells or flare. Fundus examination was notable for bilateral fine chorioretinal folds radiating from the macula and bilateral low-lying choroidal effusion in the far periphery. Ultrasound biomicroscopy confirmed bilateral ciliochoroidal effusions, shallow AC, and anterior rotation of the ciliary bodies. The patient was started on oral and topical corticosteroids plus atropine and timolol eye drops after which prompt improvement was observed. Restoration of visual acuity and complete resolution of the symptoms without any further complication were observed after 2 weeks.ConclusionThe temporal association between the onset of the patient's symptoms and influenza vaccination, in the absence of any pertinent medical conditions or medications, significantly implicates causality. Future research and case reports can help in corroborating this ocular adverse event attributed to influenza vaccination.

Bilateral Artificial Iris implantation in patients with bilateral iris defects.

Project description:PurposeBinocular traumatic or atraumatic iris defects can lead to an increased sensitivity to glare and cosmetic disfigurement. Surgical iris reconstruction is one approach to alleviate these problems. We report the clinical outcomes after medically indicated bilateral implantation of an Artificial Iris prosthesis in three patients with binocular iris defects with different etiologies.ObservationsAll three patients underwent binocular CUSTOMFLEX ArtificialIris (AI) (HumanOptics AG, Erlangen, Germany) implantation with simultaneous cataract surgery. Corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), manifest refraction, Contrast sensitivity, endothelial cell density and subjective visual impairment as well as subjective cosmetic disfigurement were measured pre- and postoperatively. CDVA remained stable or improved in all three patients. We observed an increase in contrast sensitivity and reduction of glare sensitivity in two patients. All patients reported satisfaction with the cosmetical result after the implantation.Conclusions and importanceThe bilateral Artificial Iris implantation is an effective therapeutic option to reduce glare sensitivity and to achieve an aesthetically pleasing result also in selected patients with binocular traumatic or atraumatic iris defects.

Ciliochoroidal effusion syndrome with central serous-like chorioretinopathy and secondary angle closure following exogenous testosterone use.

Project description:PurposeTo report a unique presentation of ciliochoroidal effusion syndrome with central serous-like chorioretinopathy and secondary angle closure following exogenous testosterone use.ObservationsA 37 year-old man presented with a two week history of blurred vision, elevated intraocular pressure, and myopic shift in his right eye. Gonioscopy showed angle closure. After YAG iridotomy, ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) showed ciliochoroidal effusion and anterior rotation of the ciliary processes. Subsequent color fundus photography, enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) and near-infrared reduced-illuminance autofluorescence imaging (NIR-RAFI) showed macular striae, choroidal folds, and increased choroidal thickness without presence of subretinal fluid (SRF) or pigment epithelial detachment (PED). Further questioning revealed the patient was using dermal testosterone gel for six months for treatment of hypogonadism. The patient stopped using the testosterone gel, and his visual acuity and intraocular pressure significantly improved six weeks later. Follow-up UBM showed significant improvement of the ciliochoroidal effusion, and repeat multimodal images demonstrated resolution of the macular striae and choroidal folds, and slightly improved choroidal thickness.Conclusions and importanceOur patient demonstrates a rare case of ciliochoroidal effusion, central serous-like chorioretinopathy, and secondary angle closure that dramatically improved with cessation of testosterone. We believe that this unique clinical constellation is the first to be reported associated with exogenous testosterone use.

Long-term Outcome of Argon Laser Peripheral Iridoplasty in the Management of Plateau Iris Syndrome Eyes.

Project description:To report long-term (>5 y) outcomes of plateau iris syndrome patients treated with argon laser peripheral iridoplasty (ALPI).A retrospective chart review was performed on all patients with plateau iris syndrome treated with ALPI from 1996 to 2007. The study included 22 eyes from 22 patients with plateau iris after peripheral iridotomy that were followed for at least 1 year after ALPI. The primary outcome was incidence of needing any intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering medications or surgery (either a filtering procedure or phacoemulsification). Demographic and baseline clinical data were summarized by mean (±SD) or frequency (percentage). Snellen best-corrected visual acuity was converted to logMAR. The paired t test was used to compare IOP changes, number of IOP-lowering medications, and best-corrected visual acuity from baseline to annual follow-up.Mean follow-up was 76 months. Only 2 (9%) eyes maintained an IOP<21 mm Hg without requiring medication or surgery. Seventeen (77%) eyes underwent surgery at an average of 49.1±7.9 months after ALPI. Eight (36%) eyes underwent filtering surgery, and 9 (41%) eyes underwent phacoemulsification. Three months after cataract extraction, no eyes required IOP-lowering medication.The beneficial effects of ALPI last for <4 years, with the majority of patients (77%) requiring surgery. Phacoemulsification alone was a successful treatment for plateau iris in our patient population.

Bilateral acute iris transillumination following systemic administration of antibiotics.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:To describe the demographic characteristics, clinical features, and potential prognostic factors of bilateral acute iris transillumination (BAIT) following oral antibiotic uptake. METHODS:A retrospective study of 16 consecutive patients who developed BAIT following treatment with systemic antibiotics. Detailed past medical and ocular history was obtained, presenting signs and symptoms were documented and demographic characteristics were analyzed. All patients underwent a complete ocular examination and laboratory investigation. The course of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), anterior chamber activity, and intraocular pressure (IOP) during the follow-up period were recorded and possible correlations with potential prognosticators were investigated. RESULTS:Fourteen females and two males were included in the present study. The mean age (SD) of the patients was 43 (14) years. All individuals presented conjunctival injection and photophobia and developed bilateral transillumination defects, fixed mid-dilated pupils and pigment dispersion in the anterior chamber. Systemic antibiotics were previously prescribed in all cases (13 patients with moxifloxacin and three patients with clarithromycin) and the mean (SD) interval between onset of symptoms and antibiotic administration was 17 (4) days. Ocular hypertension complicated all eyes and required antiglaucoma medication in 25 eyes. Severe anterior chamber pigment dispersion and higher IOP during the first week after presentation was significantly associated with longer duration of ocular hypertension (OHT) (p?=?0.019). CONCLUSIONS:BAIT represents a rare clinical entity with characteristic features. Although etiopathogenesis of this condition remains unclear, a series of cases that indicate a strong correlation between systemic antibiotic administration and BAIT is herein presented.

Bilateral BrightOcular iris implants necessitating explantation and subsequent endothelial keratoplasty.

Project description:Purpose:To demonstrate the dangers associated with the BrightOcular iris implant, a model that had initially been touted as safer than its predecessors. Observations:A 41-year-old male presented with decreased vision in both eyes, approximately two years following bilateral BrightOcular cosmetic iris implantation performed in Mexico. On initial consultation, he was found to have bilateral corneal decompensation with stromal edema and a significantly reduced endothelial cell count (ECC). On follow up 5 weeks later, his vision and corneal edema had further detriorated. In the following month, he underwent explantation of the cosmetic iris implants in both eyes. Significant corneal edema persisted in the right eye several months post-operatively, to the point of necessitating endothelial keratoplasty. Conclusions and importance:Despite numerous reports in the literature of the significant ocular complications that can arise secondary to cosmetic iris implantation, individuals continue to willingly undergo this surgery. Our intention with presenting this case to the ophthalmologic community is two-fold: to highlight the ongoing clinical risk that BrightOcular devices pose, despite being marketed as safer than the older NewColourIris models, and to stress the urgency with which cosmetic iris implants should be removed from the eye.

Flower color polymorphism of a wild Iris on the Qinghai-Tibet plateau.

Project description:BackgroundFlower color plays a crucial role in attracting pollinators and facilitating environmental adaptation. Investigating the causes of flower color polymorphism and understanding their potential effects on both ecology and genetics can enhance our understanding of flower color polymorphism in wild plant.ResultsIn this study, we examined the differences of potential male and female fitness between purple- and yellow- flower individuals in Iris potaninii on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and screened key genes and positively selective genes involved in flower color change. Our results showed that yellow flower exhibited a higher pollen-to-ovule ratio. Yellow flowers were derived from purple flowers due to the loss of anthocyanins, and F3H could be an essential gene affecting flower color variation though expression regulation and sequence polymorphism in this species. Furthermore, our findings suggest that genes positively selected in yellow-flowered I. potaninii might be involved in nucleotide excision repair and plant-pathogen interactions.ConclusionsThese results suggest that F3H induces the flower color variation of Iris potaninii, and the subsequent ecological and additive positive selection on yellow flowers may further enhance plant adaptations to alpine environments.
