Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment01:28

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation II: ACLS Airway Management

Airway management is a key skill in emergency and critical care settings, as maintaining a clear airway is essential for adequate oxygenation and ventilation.Head Tilt-Chin Lift TechniqueThe head tilt-chin lift maneuver is an essential technique primarily used in patients without suspected cervical spine injuries. To perform this maneuver, one hand is placed on the patient’s forehead, and gentle pressure is applied backward to tilt the head. The fingertips of the other hand are positioned under...
Increased Intracranial Pressure l: Introduction01:14

Increased Intracranial Pressure l: Introduction

Intracranial hypertension is a sustained elevation of intracranial pressure (ICP) above 22 mm Hg. In supine adults, normal ICP is ~7–15 mm Hg.The rigid, nonexpandable cranium contains three components—brain tissue, blood, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)—that total ~1,700 mL in a typical adult: 1,400 mL brain (~80%), 150 mL blood (~10%), and 150 mL CSF (~10%). According to the Monro–Kellie doctrine, total intracranial volume is effectively fixed. When one component expands, CSF and venous blood...

Summary

Dysthyroid optic neuropathy can cause vision loss through optic nerve compression or stretching, a rare complication of thyroid eye disease. This study highlights the need to document the rate of vision loss from continuous optic nerve stretching.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Endocrinology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON) is a known complication of thyroid eye disease (TED).
  • Visual loss can result from optic nerve compression or stretching.
  • DON affects less than 5% of TED cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the causes of vision loss in dysthyroid optic neuropathy.
  • To highlight protracted optic nerve stretching as a cause of vision loss.
  • To address the lack of data on the rate of vision loss due to continuous optic nerve stretching.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of dysthyroid optic neuropathy cases.
  • Analysis of reported instances of optic nerve compression and stretching.
  • Identification of studies documenting the rate of vision loss in DON.

Main Results:

  • Optic nerve compression and stretching are infrequent causes of DON (<5% of TED cases).
  • Protracted optic nerve stretching is an under-recognized cause of vision loss in DON.
  • No previous studies have documented the rate of vision loss from continuous optic nerve stretching.

Conclusions:

  • Vision loss in DON can occur due to optic nerve compression and stretching.
  • Further research is needed to quantify the rate of vision loss associated with continuous optic nerve stretching in DON.
