Retinal neurovascular characteristics for the diagnosis and staging of nondiabetic chronic kidney disease: a diagnostic study

:371-388
 
Aims: To identify the characteristic retinal neurovascular changes in patients in different stages of nondiabetic chronic kidney disease (CKD) and to develop a model for the accurate diagnosis of nondiabetic CKD.
Methods: Peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) thickness and average macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GC-IPL) thickness of nondiabetic CKD patients and healthy controls (HC) were evaluated by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT). The vessel density (VD) and perfusion density (PD) of the macula were obtained from optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was obtained to access the kidney function of CKD patients. Multiple linear regression models were used to adjust for confounding factors in statistical analyzes. The diagnostic capabilities of the parameters were evaluated by logistic regression models.
Results: 131 nondiabetic CKD patients and 62 HC 
entered the study. eGFR was found significantly associated with parafoveal VD and PD (average PD: β = 0.000 4, Padjusted < 0.001) in various sectors. Thinning of pRNFL (β = -6.725, Padjusted0.001) and GC-IPL (β = -4.542, Padjusted < 0.001), as well as decreased VD (β = -2.107, P- adjusted0.001) and PD (β = -0.057, Padjusted = 0.0328) were found in CKD patients. Thinning of pRNFL and deteriorated perifoveal vasculature were found in early CKD, and the parafoveal and foveal VD significantly declined in advanced CKD. Logistic regression models were employed, and selected neurovascular parameters showed an AUC of 0.853 (95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 0.795 to 0.910) in distinguishing CKD patients from HC.
Conclusions: Distinctive retinal neurovascular 
characteristics could be observed in nondiabetic CKD patients of different severities. Our results suggest that retinal manifestations could be valuable in the screening, diagnosis, and follow-up evaluation of patients with CKD.

目的:分析Hallermann-Streiff综合征(Hallermann-Streiff syndrome,HSS)继发性青光眼的临床表现,探讨其治疗方法。方法:采用病例系列研究与文献回顾方法,记录3例确诊为HSS继发性青光眼患者的视力、眼压、裂隙灯、超声生物显微镜、相干光断层扫描、角膜地形图、A超、B超、X线眼眶大小测量等检查结果。随访患者药物治疗、周边虹膜切除术、小梁切除术或青光眼阀植入术的疗效。结果:3例患者年龄分别为9、29和47岁,其中女性2例、男性1例。最佳矫正视力为0.04-0.5,平均屈光度为+12.1D,平均眼压为37.7 mmHg,平均角膜直径为9.1 mm,平均中央前房深度为2.43 mm,平均眼轴长度为18.13 mm,角膜地形图示平均K1值为56.97 D,平均K2值为60.65 D。眼眶水平径为28.86~31.40 mm,垂直径为30.16~32.90 mm。2例年轻患者为无晶状体眼,伴葡萄膜炎、瞳孔区纤维膜、视盘旁脉络膜萎缩弧。年长患者表现为蓝色巩膜、白内障、房角关闭,眼底表现为青光眼性视杯凹陷。3例患者平均身高143 cm,伴头发及眉毛稀疏、额头前凸、鼻子呈喙状、牙齿发育不全、下颌发育不全。术后平均随访47.7个月(范围:11~84个月),眼压控制,视力与术前一致,无治疗相关并发症出现。结论:HSS继发性青光眼的眼部病变可表现为小眼眶、小眼球、小角膜、蓝色巩膜、无晶状体、瞳孔区纤维膜、葡萄膜炎、继发性青光眼及视盘旁脉络膜萎缩。对HSS继发性青光眼的患者,个性化地选择治疗方案,可以获得较好的治疗效果。
Objective: To demonstrate the clinical characteristics and surgical effects of glaucoma in Hallermann-Streiff syndrome(HSS). Methods: Observational case series and literature review. The results of ophthalmic examinations of three patients diagnosed as glaucoma with HSS were recorded, including visual acuity, intraocular pressure (IOP), slit-lamp microscopy, ultrasound biomicroscopy, optical coherence tomography, corneal topography, A-scan and B-scan ultrasonography, and orbital size measurement by X-ray. Peripheral iridectomy, glaucoma drainage device implantation or trabeculectomy, were performed in these patients. Results: Three HSS patients were 9, 29 and 47 years old, respectively, including 2 females and 1 male. The best corrected visual acuity was 0.04-0.5. The mean spherical equivalent refraction was +12.1 D. The average IOP was 37.7 mm Hg, and the average corneal diameter was 9.1 mm. The average central anterior chamber depth was 2.43mm. The average axial length was 18.13mm. Keratometry showed average K1 of 56.97 degrees, and K2 of 60.65 degrees. Two younger patients were aphakic bilaterally with uveitis, pupillary fibrous membrane and peripapillary choroidal atrophy. The older patient showed blue sclera, cataract, and anterior chamber angle closure. The horizontal orbital diameter was 28.76-31.40 mm, and vertical orbital diameter was 30.16-32.90 mm. All patients were proportionate nanism, with an average height of 143 cm. Craniofacial manifestations included dyscephalia and “bird-like” face, hypotrichosis, dental anomalies, and mandibular hypoplasia. They were followed up for an average of 47.7 months(range:11-84 months) after surgery. The IOPs were all controlled, and the visual acuities remained unchanged. No treatment-related complications occurred. Conclusions: HSS patients with glaucoma may present as small orbit, microphthalmia, microcornea, blue sclera, aphakia, pupillary fibrous membrane, uveitis, with atrophic chorioretinal changes. For these patients, personalized treatment may help to achieve better therapeutic effects.

激光性黄斑病变的 OCT 图像特征

Image Characters of Optical Coherence Tomography in Laser-induced Maculopathy

:82-86
 

目的:观察激光导致的黄斑区视网膜损伤的眼底改变及其光学相干断层扫描仪(OCT)图像特征。

方法:收集 2002 年 4 月—2009 年 12 月因激光照射致视力下降的患者 4 例(4 眼)。所有患者均行眼部常规检查、眼底照相及 OCT 检查。

结果:4 例患者的眼底表现各不相同。1 例表现为黄斑区板层裂孔,残留薄层外层视网膜,相应部位光感受器内外节连接光带消失及视网膜色素上皮光带消失,脉络膜光带下陷并反射略增强,周围视网膜前膜形成,玻璃体腔积血;1 例表现为黄斑区全层裂孔伴周围视网膜水肿;1 例表现为黄斑区视网膜神经上皮层局限性浆液性浅脱离;1 例表现为黄斑区视网膜内层团状高反射(出血)。

结论:激光致黄斑区视网膜损伤的眼底表现多种多样,OCT 能够清晰显示其视网膜损伤的层次及形态改变。

Purpose: To observe the changes of ocular fundus and to describe the image features of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in patients with laser-induced maculopathy.

Methods: Four patients (4 eyes) with decreased visual acuity due to laser injury were recruited into the study between April 2002 to December 2009. All patients checked up eyes with routine examination, eyeground photography and OCT.

Results: The four cases presented with different clinical characteristics from each another. In the first case, OCT showed lamella macular hole, with partially remained outer sensory retina. The signals of inner segments/outer segments (IS/OS) band and RPE band were disrupted. The choroidal band was distorted with increased reflection. Perimacular epiretinal membrane and vitreous hemorrhage were also observed. The second case had a full-thickness macular hole with retina edema surrounding the hole. The third case presented with local serous sensory retinal detachment in macula. The fourth case presented with hyper-reflection of the inner retina in macula which indicated hemorrhage.

Conclusion: There are various patterns of laser-induced maculopathy. OCT is a useful noninvasive diagnostic tool to delineate the layer, extent and configuration of the damage on retina.
