Diabetic Retinopathy

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...

Cirrhosis I: Introduction

Cirrhosis I: Introduction

Cirrhosis is a chronic, irreversible liver disease characterized by the widespread replacement of healthy liver tissue with fibrotic scar tissue and the formation of regenerative nodules.Etiology of cirrhosisCirrhosis results from sustained liver injury that triggers progressive fibrosis and structural remodeling. The underlying causes are diverse, encompassing common and less frequent clinical conditions. Regardless of the origin, all causes lead to chronic inflammation, hepatocyte loss, and...

Glaucoma: Overview

Glaucoma: Overview

Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Hematology
Oncology

Background:

Ophthalmic symptoms can be the initial indicators of systemic diseases.
Retinal vascular occlusions may present as sudden, unilateral vision reduction.

Observation:

A 48-year-old woman presented with acute vision loss in her right eye.
Examination revealed macular branch retinal vein occlusion and Roth spots.
The patient had recent symptoms of dizziness, blurred vision, and gingival swelling.

Findings:

Immediate diagnosis identified acute myeloid leukemia (AML) as the cause of the retinal vascular pathology.
AML affects the retina in approximately 50% of cases.
Hyperviscosity syndrome in AML can lead to retinal vein occlusions.

Implications:

Ophthalmologists must consider systemic diseases in patients with unexplained ophthalmic findings.
A differential blood count is essential for diagnosing underlying hematological conditions.
Timely chemotherapy and ophthalmological follow-up are vital for managing AML and its ocular manifestations.
