Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment01:27

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

535
In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.
Drugs such as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, α2- and...

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

639
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...

Glaucoma: Overview

712
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
  • Virology
  • Pediatrics

Context:

  • Ophthalmic zoster (herpes zoster affecting the eye) is uncommon in pediatric patients.
  • Varicella infection history is common in children who develop herpes zoster.

Purpose:

  • To report a rare case of ophthalmic zoster in an immunocompetent child.
  • To emphasize the importance of early antiviral therapy in managing ophthalmic zoster.
  • To highlight the potential for severe ocular complications if left untreated.

Summary:

  • An 11-year-old girl presented with a unilateral facial rash consistent with herpes zoster ophthalmicus.
  • Diagnostic workup, including blood tests and HIV serology, revealed no underlying immunodeficiency.
  • Treatment with systemic acyclovir and analgesics resulted in a favorable outcome with preserved visual function.

Impact:

  • This case underscores the need for vigilance in diagnosing ophthalmic zoster in children, even those who appear immunocompetent.
  • Timely antiviral treatment is crucial for preventing serious ocular morbidity and maintaining vision in pediatric herpes zoster ophthalmicus.
  • Highlights the exceptional nature of ophthalmic zoster in immunocompetent children, emphasizing diagnostic and therapeutic considerations.
