Diabetic Retinopathy01:27

Diabetic Retinopathy

DefinitionDiabetic retinopathy is a microvascular complication of diabetes affecting the retinal blood vessels.Risk FactorsDiabetic retinopathy is present in almost all individuals with type 1 diabetes and more than 60% of those with type 2 diabetes after two decades of disease.The risk increases with poor glycemic control, hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking, pregnancy, and puberty.Although cataracts and glaucoma are also more frequent in people with diabetes, retinopathy remains the leading...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Ophthalmology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Susac syndrome is a rare autoimmune vasculopathy affecting small arteries.
  • It typically presents with a triad of encephalopathy, retinal artery occlusions, and sensorineural hearing loss.

Observation:

  • A 29-year-old male presented with progressive headache, nausea, lethargy, decreased consciousness, and bilateral hearing loss.
  • Ophthalmic examination revealed retinal vasculitis, a key diagnostic indicator.

Findings:

  • Fluorescein angiography confirmed retinal vasculitis, leading to the diagnosis of Susac syndrome.
  • The patient's symptoms indicated involvement of the retina, encephalic tissues, and cochlea.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis and treatment of Susac syndrome are crucial for preventing severe neurological and visual sequelae.
  • Immunosuppressive therapy is the mainstay of treatment to manage the autoimmune inflammatory process.
