As Many Disease As She Pleases
• 77 WF• Macular hole repair OS 8 yrs prior• Subsequent SRNVM w/ large macular
scar• VA OD 20/20, OS HM@6’ – stable for 5
yrs• Recently complained of HA “alot” over OS• Says her vision OS is worsening, “it will go
black at times!”
Exam
• VA OD 20/25- OS – LP• SLE – OD no change, OS – 2+ PCO• DFE –OD - D,M,V,P wnl OS small
macular bleed adjacent to macular scar• ONH - .1/.1 OD pink, .15/.15 OS large
area of PPA• What now?• Did we forget something?
Ancillary Tests
• IVFA – no evidence of new SRNVM• OCT – Plush NFL, no SRNVM• ESR – 20mm/Hr• C-RP – 0.8
• What now? Is she just crazy?• Are you sure we haven’t overlooked
anything?
Explain the VF result
• NOW what would you do?
MRI
• Suprasellar mass with impingement on ON• Probable glioma• Underwent resection
• Craniopharyngioma!
Deja Vu All Over Again
• 60 y/o WF• Meds: Zetia, Plavix• CC: 3 days prior px lost vision in OD for
~30 min. Things were “black” but cleared up perfectly. No associated pain.
• Yesterday things appeared “dusty” , the “cloud” is moving. Slight ache OD
• POH: CE OD 2 yrs prior, staph lid infection
Deja Vu
• Clinical exam– VA 20/30 OD, 20/25OS– PERRL mg(-)– AC – clear– PCL centered and “in bag”, 1+ NS OS– IOP 18 OD, 15 OS– DFE – wnl OU– Carotid auscultation – “no bruit”
Deja Vu
• Diagnosis???
• Next step???
Deja Vu part deux
• 6 wks later px referred to me• CC: Similar episode of blurry VA OD. Very
blurred 3 days prior and gradually improving. Still seeing “little worms” moving OD. Denies pain or dizziness
• Carotid doppler and Echocardiogram last month – “OK”
• MD says poor blood flow R
My Exam
• VA – OD 20/25 (slow), OS 20/30• PERRL mg (-)• SLE-
– K- cl OU– AC 3+ cell/(-) flare OD, d & q OS– PCL centered, (-) phacodenesis
• IOP -13OD, 11OS• Retina – A/V ½ OU, mild tortuosity• Diffuse Vit Heme Inf OD
So Now what Do You Think?What Do You Want to Do?
• AF???
• OIS???
• Retinal Hypoperfusion/Ischemia???
• GCA???
• Something Else???
Lab Tests
• Carotid doppler – normal, (mild Occlusion R & L)
• ESR – 23 mm/hr• C-RP normal• CBC – mildly decreased RBC• Cholesterol- 212
SOOOO......
• What’s your diagnosis?• Is there more testing required?• Do you need to prescribe drops?• Do you need to prescribe pills?
• BTW- She had 3 add’l recurrences of vitreous hemorrhage OD over next 4 mths
• What is the etiology?
A Diagnostic Quandary
• 76 y/o WM cc: OD hurts, “like a toothache”• Pain is worse at night, lasts for 3-6 hrs.• 3 occurrences over past 2 weeks• VA has decreased since 1st episode• Type I DM – BS 130 today, sliding scale• MD says BP is “way hi recently”• BP med
Quandary Exam
• VA – OD 20/100 ph 20/80-2OS 20/40 ph NI
EOM – no rest.PERRL mg (-)SLE – K – cl OU
Conj – cl OULens – 2+/2+/1+ OD, 2+NS, 1+PSC OSAC – quiet OU, Gr 2 VH OU
IOP – 18 OD, 18 OS
Quandary cont
• Gonio – OD 3,2,2,1 OS 2,2,2,2
• DFE – Should you dilate these eyes?
Quandary Retina
• NPDR OU (OS > OD)• No CSME• No NVD, NVE• C/D - .3/.3 OU
• Anything else?
What is your differential diagnosis?
• How you treat this depends upon your diagnosis!!!>>>@@@@****
Quandary options
• Cataract extraction• PI OU• Glaucoma drops• Blood work• Refer to Internist• Refer to Retina• SLT OU• Retinal/ONH Imaging
I Rx’d Lumigan OU QHS
• Ordered labs– CBC – low RBC– ESR – 80mm/Hr– A1c – 5.3– C-RP – normal
• 2 wk f/up
2 week exam
• Pain had returned even w/ Lumigan• VA worsening• AC- mild cell OD, d & q OS• Angles – unchanged OU• IOP – 17mm OU• Retina – scattered h/MA OU, disk heme
OS• Does this change your mind?
TA biopsy vs PI
• Pros and cons for each
• How did our man end up?
Case Of The Sudden Vision Loss
• 17 y/o BM awoke that AM; “couldn’t see” out of OS.
• “somewhat painful”• Looked in mirror, noticed eye was totally
white• Denies trauma• No precursors
Exam
• VA s Rx - OD 20/30, OS LP• Pupils - OD Round, reactive no inverse
APD, OS - not visible• SLE - OD prominent K nerves, no edema,
no bulb inj, OS as shown
• IOP 15 OD, 32 OS
Sudden Loss Question 1What other tests would you perform?• 1. Gonioscopy• 2. Keratometry/Topography• 3. DFE• 4. Corneal pachometry• 5. VF• 6. Gonio & K Topo• 7. DFE & Gonio• 8. Pachometry & Keratometry
Sudden Loss Question 2What Is Your Diagnosis?
• 1. Angle Closure Glaucoma• 2. Corneal Edema• 3. Corneal Hydrops• 4. Corneal Perforation• 5. Pupillary block glaucoma• 6. Fuch’s dystrophy
Sudden Loss Question 3How would you treat it?
• 1. Adsorbonac 5% QID, TXE 0.5OS• 2. Penetrating Keratoplasty• 3. Betimol 1/2% OS BID, Eflone QID• 4. Pressure patch, Atropine OS• 5. BCL, Quixin OS QID• 6. BCL, Lotemax OS QID• 7. Eflone OS QID, Adsorbonac 5% OS
QID
A Strange Cup Of Tea
• 68 y/o African –American• Treated for NTG x 12 yrs• Seidel’s scotomas OU• Notch at 2:00 OS• NTG well controlled w/ Lumigan OU QHS
– (IOP ~ 11mm Hg)• VF and rims now stable• VA stable at 20/20 OU
Routine Follow-Up?
• No subjective complaints• VA OD 20/30, OS 20/20• NI w/ refraction• When asked again – OD did feel “kind of
funny.”• PERRL mg (-), EOM- no restrictions• SLE – OS normal
- OD as shown
Oh Yeah...
• IOP 42mm Hg OD, 14mm Hg OS
• What’s your next step?
• What is your differential diagnosis?
Glaucomatocyclitic Crisis
• Unilateral increased IOP w/ accompanying iritis
• No predispositioning, no precursors• Absence of all other findings• Mildly symptomatic• Diagnosis of exclusion• R/O ACG, NVG, Inflammatory G, PDS
Treatment
• Gonio is the key to the diagnosis• Lower IOP
– Aqueous suppressors• Quiet the anterior chamber reaction
– PF QID– Taper quickly
• IOP sequelae?
