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...

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

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...

Summary

Evans syndrome, a rare autoimmune disorder, can cause sudden vision loss in children due to subhyaloid hemorrhages. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial for vision recovery.

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Hematology
Pediatrics

Background:

Evans syndrome is a rare autoimmune disorder combining autoimmune hemolytic anemia and immune thrombocytopenia.
Ophthalmic manifestations of Evans syndrome are rarely reported, especially in pediatric cases.

Observation:

A 15-year-old female presented with acute, painless vision loss in her right eye.
Ophthalmic examination revealed bilateral subhyaloid hemorrhages as the cause of vision loss.

Findings:

The patient received treatment with intravenous steroids followed by hydroxychloroquine.
Resolution of retinal hemorrhages and improvement in vision were observed after treatment.

Implications:

Nontraumatic subhyaloid hemorrhage is an uncommon cause of pediatric vision loss.
Evans syndrome should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pediatric vision loss with concurrent hematologic abnormalities.
