Ocular abnormalities and complications in anterior megalophthalmos: a case series.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To describe the clinical and Scheimpflug imaging features in cases of anterior megalophthalmos (AM).

Methods

Retrospective record review was performed for patients with AM who presented between June 2017 and May 2018. Clinical history, slit lamp examination, Scheimpflug imaging indices (Pentacam-HR, Oculus, GmbH), dilated fundus examination and treatment records were reviewed.

Results

The study included eight eyes of four male patients (mean age 6.5 years, range 4-10 years). Corrected distance visual acuity ranged from finger counting to 20/80. The mean horizontal corneal diameter, central corneal thickness, steep keratometry, flat keratometry, anterior chamber (AC) angle, AC depth, maximum pupil diameter and axial length were 13.8?±?0.5?mm, 538.7?±?68.9?µm, 42.8?±?1.6?D, 41.4?±?0.9D, 47.0?±?4.2?degree, 3.8?±?0.3?mm, 3.9?±?0.1?mm, and 24.9?±?0.9?mm, respectively. Posterior dislocation of crystalline lens, vitreous degeneration and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (consequent of retinal dialysis/atrophic hole/lattice with hole) were noted in seven, eight and five eyes, respectively. Pigment dispersion glaucoma was noted in both eyes of one patient, which was managed with topical anti-glaucoma medication. Vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade was successful in retinal reattachment in all three eyes that underwent surgery.

Conclusion

Scheimpflug imaging helps in demonstrating the corneal and anterior segment pathological changes in AM. The disease extends to involve the zonules, vitreous and retina as well. Ophthalmologists should be able to identify this disorder, recognise and manage the associations and complications.

Project description:Purpose:Ocular toxoplasmosis is the most common cause of infectious uveitis worldwide. The diagnosis of ocular toxoplasmosis is primarily clinical when it is a typical presentation.With an atypical presentation in the fundus, parasitological diagnosis is a decisive contribution, as well as multimodal imaging. The aim of this study was to investigate vitreal, retinal, and choroidal morphologic changes in active and scarred toxoplasmosis lesions using swept source optical coherence tomography. To our knowledge, it is the first study in Tunisia which describes with precision the retinochoroidal lesions caused by Toxoplasma Gondi by means of the optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods:A retrospective analysis of fifteen patients diagnosed with ocular toxoplasmosis was conducted. The patients were examined at ophthalmology service of Farhat Hached Hospital in Sousse Tunisia between January 2002 and December 2019. Complete ophthalmologic examination including best-corrected visual acuity, slit lamp biomicroscopy, dilated biomicroscopic and fundus examinations, colour fundus photography as well as fluorescein angiography and OCT were done at the initial visit and during follow-up. Result:In the acute phase, thickening, hyper-reflectivity of the neurosensory retina, posterior shading, bumping of the RPE, hyporeflectivity and thickening of choroid were found in 86,6% of patients. During follow-up, neurosensory retinal layers thinning and disorganization, interrupting ofthe ellipsoid zone (EZ), and RPE hyper reflective were noticed in 73% of patients. The choroid became thin and more hyperreflective in 73% of patients. Multiple hyperreflective dots in the vitreous cavity and posterior hyaloid thickening were demonstrated in the acute phase in 60% of patients, with complete resolution and detachment of the posterior hyaloid in the scarred lesions. Conclusion:The SS-OCT is an important adjunctive imaging modality in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with ocular toxoplasmosis.
