Diabetic Retinopathy

11
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...

Glaucoma: Overview

1.7K
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
  • Retinal Diseases
  • Vascular Imaging

Background:

  • Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common cause of vision loss.
  • Intravitreal injections are a standard treatment for exudative AMD.
  • Ocular inflammation can present with diverse clinical signs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a unique case where vitreoretinal traction mimicked retinal vasculitis.
  • To describe the diagnostic findings in this unusual presentation.
  • To raise awareness among clinicians about this pseudovasculitis.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of an 81-year-old woman with exudative AMD.
  • Treatment with intravitreal ranibizumab.
  • Diagnostic imaging including Spectralis optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fluorescein angiography (FA).

Main Results:

  • FA revealed focal, segmental retinal vasculitis in the fellow eye.
  • OCT showed posterior vitreous detachment with vitreoretinal adhesion.
  • Vasculitis on FA corresponded to sites of vitreoretinal traction on OCT.

Conclusions:

  • The observed retinal vasculitis was a pseudovasculitis caused by mechanical vitreoretinal traction.
  • This represents an atypical manifestation of vitreomacular traction syndrome.
  • Clinicians should consider vitreoretinal traction when encountering signs suggestive of vasculitis without inflammation.
