三叉神经鞘瘤并发神经麻痹性角膜炎一例

Trigeminal schwannoma complicated with nerve paralysis keratitis: a case report

:360-363
 
该文报道一例中年男性患者,因“头痛伴左侧听力下降”就诊于我院神经外科,经影像学检查诊断为“左侧三叉神经鞘瘤”, 手术前实验室检查发现血象异常,经血液科会诊后诊断为多发性骨髓瘤IgDλ型,于化疗期间并发神经麻痹性角膜炎(neurotrophic keratitis,NK),可于角膜中央偏下方的上皮及前基质层见到类圆形的灰白色浑浊,呈胶冻样,经局部药物治疗后好转,但残留角膜基质白色浑浊。由于现阶段临床对NK尚欠缺充分认识,易延误诊治,并且本文报道的此例NK患者,因其有化疗病史且于治疗期间出现相关体征,易被误诊为化疗并发细菌性角膜炎,文章通过分析其角膜病变的特征及简单回顾NK的临床特征、鉴别诊断及治疗,以期临床早期识别及治疗此类患者,恢复角膜的光学特性,维持良好的视觉体验。
Tis article reports a case of a middle-aged male patient who visited the Department of Neurosurgery of our hospital due to headache and lef hearing loss. He was diagnosed with lef trigeminal schwannoma by imaging examination and abnormal blood routine before surgery. During chemotherapy and paralytic keratitis (neurotrophic keratitis, NK), can be seen in the lower part of the corneal center of the epithelium and the prestromal layer of round gray and white turbidities, jelly like, afer local drug treatment improved, but residual corneal stromal white turbidities. Due to the lack of full understanding of NK in clinic at the present stage, diagnosis and treatment is easy to be delayed. In addition, the NK patient reported in this paper was easily misdiagnosed as bacterial keratitis complicated by chemotherapy due to his history of chemotherapy and related signs during treatment. Tis paper analyzed the characteristics of keratopathy and briefy reviewed the clinical characteristics, diferential diagnosis and treatment of NK, in order to identify and treat these patients in early clinical stage, restore the optical characteristics of cornea and maintain good visual experience.

局限性脉络膜凹陷的临床研究进展

The clinical progress of focal choroidal excavation

:-
 
局限性脉络膜凹陷(focal choroidal excavation,FCE)是表现为光感受器细胞层、视网膜色素上皮层向脉络膜层凹陷的眼底病变。发病机制多认为是先天脉络膜发育异常、炎症或感染。基于光学相干断层扫描(optical coherence tomography,OCT),可将FCE从光感受器尖端与视网膜色素上皮层是否分离、形态特征或中央脉络膜厚度三种方式对其进行分类。FCE常合并脉络膜新生血管等疾病。该文对FCE的临床研究现状做一综述。
Focal choroidal excavation (FCE) can be defined as an excavation into the choroid along the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) without evidence of corresponding staphyloma or other scleral changes. The pathogenesis is usually congenital choroidal dysplasia, inflammation or infection. Based on optical coherence tomography images, FCE can be classified in three ways: whether the photoreceptor cell layer is separated from the retinal pigment epithelium, morphological characteristics or central choroidal thickness. FCE is often associated with choroidal neovascularization and other diseases. This article will review the clinical research status of FCE.

Periocular necrotising fasciitis after traumatic laceration and concurrent COVID-19 infection: a case report

Periocular necrotising fasciitis after traumatic laceration and concurrent COVID-19 infection: a case report

:-
 

Background: Necrotising fasciitis (NF) is a rare but severe necrotising infection of the subcutaneous tissues. We report a case of periocular NF associated with a concurrent COVID-19 infection and explore potential mechanisms of pathogenesis of COVID-19 infection and necrotising superinfections.

Case Description: A 33-year-old previously healthy female presented with right-sided progressive periocular swelling, erythema, pain and fever, two days after sustaining a laceration to the right superolateral brow from a clenched fist. She had a concurrent COVID-19 infection, detected on nasopharyngeal polymerase chain reaction swab thirteen days prior to presentation and again at presentation. She did not have an oxygen requirement. There was a large bulbous collection of the right upper lid with fluctuance and overlying erythema, and a communicating sinus drained frank pus from the superolateral brow. Pre-operative T2-weighted MRI demonstrated fascial hyperintensity involving the pre-septal tissues and extending to the anterior temporal fossa. She was commenced on intravenous meropenem, clindamycin and vancomycin, and underwent early surgical debridement. Initial debridement demonstrated right upper lid necrosis involving the dermal and pre-septal layers, including the orbicularis, but sparing the tarsus. Streptococcus pyogenes was isolated, and she was continued on a prolonged course of intravenous antibiotic. Periocular defects were repaired with a right-sided brow adipo-fascial flap based on the supratrochlear artery, browpexy and dual full thickness skin grafts on the right upper lid and flap.

Conclusions: NF is an acute fulminant infection rarely affecting the periocular tissues. This represents a unique case of periocular NF associated with a concurrent COVID-19 infection.

Changes in crystalline lens parameters during accommodation evaluated using swept source anterior segment optical coherence tomography

Changes in crystalline lens parameters during accommodation evaluated using swept source anterior segment optical coherence tomography

:-
 

Backgrounds: To assess changes in anterior segment biometry during accommodation using a swept source anterior segment optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT).

Methods: One hundred-forty participants were consecutively recruited in the current study. Each participant underwent SS-OCT scanning at 0 and ?3 diopter (D) accommodative stress after refractive compensation, and ocular parameters including anterior chamber depth (ACD), anterior and posterior lens curvature, lens thickness (LT) and lens diameter were recorded. Anterior segment length (ASL) was defined as ACD plus LT. Lens central point (LCP) was defined as ACD plus half of the LT. The accommodative response was calculated as changes in total optical power during accommodation.

Results: Compared to non-accommodative status, ACD (2.952±0.402 vs. 2.904±0.382 mm, P<0.001), anterior (10.771±1.801 vs. 10.086±1.571 mm, P<0.001) and posterior lens curvature (5.894±0.435 vs. 5.767±0.420 mm, P<0.001), lens diameter (9.829±0.338 vs. 9.695±0.358 mm, P<0.001) and LCP (4.925±0.274 vs. 4.900±0.259 mm, P=0.010) tended to decreased and LT thickened (9.829±0.338 vs. 9.695±0.358 mm, P<0.001), while ASL (6.903±0.279 vs. 6.898±0.268 mm, P=0.568) did not change significantly during accommodation. Younger age (β=0.029, 95% CI: 0.020 to 0.038, P<0.001) and larger anterior lens curvature (β=?0.071, 95% CI: ?0.138 to ?0.003, P=0.040) were associated with accommodation induced greater steeping amplitude of anterior lens curvature. The optical eye power at 0 and ?3 D accommodative stress was 62.486±2.284 and 63.274±2.290 D, respectively (P<0.001). Age was an independent factor of accommodative response (β=?0.027, 95% CI: ?0.038 to ?0.016, P<0.001).

Conclusions: During ?3 D accommodative stress, the anterior and posterior lens curvature steepened, followed by thickened LT, fronted LCP and shallowed ACD. The accommodative response of ?3 D stimulus is age-dependent.

Subjective refractions determined by Dyop? and LogMAR chart as fixation targets

Subjective refractions determined by Dyop? and LogMAR chart as fixation targets

:-
 

Background: Dyop® is a dynamic optotype with a rotating and segmented visual stimulus. It can be used for visual acuity and refractive error measurement. The objective of the study was to compare refractive error measurement using the Dyop® acuity and LogMAR E charts.

Methods: Fifty subjects aged 18 or above with aided visual acuity better than 6/12 were recruited. Refractive error was measured by subjective refraction methods using the Dyop® acuity chart and LogMAR E charts and the duration of measurement compared. Thibo’s notation was used to represent the refractive error obtained for analysis.

Results: There was no significant difference in terms of spherical equivalent (M) (P=0.96) or J0 (P=0.78) and J45 (P=0.51) components measured using the Dyop® acuity and LogMAR E charts. However, subjective refraction measurement was significantly faster using the Dyop® acuity chart (t=4.46, P<0.05), with an average measurement time of 419.90±91.17 versus 452.04±74.71 seconds using the LogMAR E chart.

Conclusions: Accuracy of refractive error measurement using a Dyop® chart was comparable with use of a LogMAR E chart. The dynamic optotype Dyop® could be considered as an alternative fixation target to be used in subjective refraction.
