Its prevalence in the general population is 0.34-3.7%. It can be confused with optic papillitis since it blurs the papillary border at the bottom of the eye. Drusens can be seen as opacity in B-scan ultrasonography and computerized tomography (2). Optic disc drusens present with slowly progressing visual field defects. The 21-year-old patient who complained of blurry vision on both eyes did not have a history of disease. Her vision was blurry for the past 10 days, especially on the left side. There was no history of eyeball pain, headache, infection or trauma. Her vision was 0.2 on the right and 0.1 on the left side. The papillary borders were undefined on both sides in the examination of the base of Figure 1. Optic disc drusen on both sides: Discs are protruded due the eyes (Figure 1). Due to the slow clinical decline over 10 days, to the drusen and their borders are not clearly defined. cranial and spinal magnetic resonance imaging was conducted in order to address any possible demyelinating disease but did not produce any remarkable findings. After this, cranial and orbital tomography was conducted with the pre-diagnosis of optic disc drusen.

  • Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein-Igg-Positive Recurrent Bilateral Optic Papillitis with Serous Retinal Detachment: a Case Report
    doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.9840-17 Intern Med Advance Publication http://internmed.jp 【 CASE REPORT 】 Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein-IgG-positive Recurrent Bilateral Optic Papillitis with Serous Retinal Detachment: A Case Report Tomoya Kon 1, Hiroki Hikichi 1, Tatsuya Ueno 1, Chieko Suzuki 1, Jinichi Nunomura 1, Kimihiko Kaneko 2, Toshiyuki Takahashi 2,3, Ichiro Nakashima 2 and Masahiko Tomiyama 1 Abstract: Autoantibodies against myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG-IgG) have been detected in inflamma- tory demyelinating central nervous system diseases. A 30-year-old woman had blurred vision, marked optic nerve disc swelling, serous retinal detachment at the macular on optic coherence tomography, and MOG-IgG seropositivity. The patient was thought to have optic papillitis associated with MOG-IgG. Her symptoms rap- idly improved after high-dose methylprednisolone therapy. We hypothesize that serous retinal detachment was secondary, arising from optic papillitis. This is the first report of the concurrence of optic papillitis with MOG-IgG and serous retinal detachment. MOG-IgG should be tested in patients with marked optic disc swelling. Key words: IgA nephropathy, MOG, myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein, optic neuritis, optic papillitis, serous retinal detachment (Intern Med Advance Publication) (DOI: 10.2169/internalmedicine.9840-17) inflammatory diseases, such as Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada dis- Introduction ease, sarcoidosis, and Behçet’s disease, disrupt the blood- retinal barrier, resulting in the development of serous retinal Autoantibodies against myelin oligodendrocyte glycopro- detachment (4, 5).

    Clinical Policy: Fluorescein Angiography Reference Number: OC.UM.CP.0028 Coding Implications Last Review Date: 05/2020 Revision Log See Important Reminder at the end of this policy for important regulatory and legal information. Description Intravenous Fluorescein Angiography (IVFA) or fluorescent angiography is a technique for examining the circulation of the retina and choroid using a fluorescent dye and a specialized camera. It involves injection of sodium fluorescein into the systemic circulation, and then an angiogram is obtained by photographing the fluorescence emitted after illumination of the retina with blue light at a wavelength of 490 nanometers. This policy describes the medical necessity guidelines for fluorescein angiography. Policy/Criteria I. It is the policy of health plans affiliated with Envolve Vision, Inc.® that fluorescein angiography is medically necessary for the following indications: A. Initial evaluation of a patient with abnormal findings of the fundus / retina on ophthalmoscopy exam including one of the following: 1. Choroidal Neovascular Membranes (CNVM) 2. Lesions of the Retinal Pigment Epithelium (RPE) a. Serous Detachment of the RPE b. Tears or rips of the RPE c. Hemorrhagic detachment 3. Fibrovascular Disciform Scar 4. Vitreous Hemorrhage (patient presents with sudden loss of vision) 5. Drusen 6. Diabetic Retinopathy B. Evaluation of patient presenting with symptoms of sudden vision loss (especially central vision), blurred vision, distortion, etc., which may suggest a subretinal neovascularization and abnormal findings of the fundus / retina on ophthalmoscopy exam. C. Evaluation of patients with nonproliferative (background) and proliferative diabetic retinopathy without macular edema. Frequency is determined by disease progression and the treatment performed. Fluorescein angiography may be performed on the treated eye only at 6 weeks post-treatment and as often as every 8-12 weeks to assist in management of the retinopathy.

Policy No. MP-078-MC-NC Page 1 of 26 DEFINITIONS Abstract: Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness, and a disease for which treatment methods clearly are available and in common use. Glaucoma also is diagnostically challenging. Almost 50% of glaucoma cases remain undetected. Elevated intraocular pressure is a clear risk factor for glaucoma, but over 30% of those suffering from the disease have pressures in the normal range. Further, most patients having abnormally high pressures will never suffer glaucomatous damage to their vision. Scanning computerized ophthalmic diagnostic imaging (SCODI) allows for early detection of glaucomatous damage to the nerve fiber layer or optic nerve of the eye.

  • University of Massachusetts Medical School Eye Care
    University of Massachusetts Medical School Eye Care Emergency Department Avoidance (EyEDA) Model: Quantitative Analysis for the PTAC Preliminary Review Team November 1, 2019 Summary This document provides an analysis of Medicare claims data regarding several issues relevant to the proposal submitted by the University of Massachusetts Medical School entitled “Eye Care Emergency Department Avoidance (EyEDA) Model” to the Physician-Focused Payment Model Technical Advisory Committee (PTAC). Those issues include beneficiary use of eye care specialists (optometrists and ophthalmologists), rates of visits (events) for conditions identified by the submitter as being “ED- avoidable” in emergency department (ED) and non-ED locations, and the distribution and rate of events by provider type for the non-ED events. Data used in this analysis are from the 20-percent sample of Medicare Fee-for-Service (FFS) claims maintained in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Chronic Conditions Data Warehouse (CCW). Data were accessed on August 29, 2019, and cover claims with end dates in calendar year (CY) 2017. Appendix A contains definitions of measures used in the analysis. Appendices B and C contain the provider and diagnosis codes used, respectively. Exhibit 1 shows the count of Medicare beneficiaries who saw an ophthalmologist or optometrist on a FFS basis during CY 2017 by selected medical conditions: whether they were ever diagnosed with diabetes, ever diagnosed with glaucoma, or had cataract surgery during the year. These three conditions were selected because Medicare provides expanded coverage of eye care services for beneficiaries with these conditions. Exhibit 2 shows the number of events observed in CY 2017 for eye conditions identified by the submitter.

  • Electroretinography Reference Number: CP.VP.86 Coding Implications Last Review Date: 12/2020 Revision Log
    Clinical Policy: Electroretinography Reference Number: CP.VP.86 Coding Implications Last Review Date: 12/2020 Revision Log See Important Reminder at the end of this policy for important regulatory and legal information. Description Electroretinography (ERG) measures the electrical activity generated by neural and non-neuronal cells in the retina in response to a light stimulus to detect loss of retinal function or distinguish between retinal and optic nerve lesions. This policy describes the medical necessity requirements for ERG. Policy/Criteria I. It is the policy of health plans affiliated with Centene Corporation® (Centene) that ERG is medically necessary for any of the following indications: A. Toxic retinopathies and maculopathies; B. Diabetic retinopathy; C. Retinal vascular disease; D. Autoimmune retinopathies; E. Retinal detachment; F. Assessment of retinal function after trauma; G. Retinitis pigmentosa and diseases mimicking retinitis pigmentosa; H. Retinitis punctate albescens; I. Leber’s congenital amaurosis; J. Choroideremia; K. Gyrate atrophy of the retinal and choroid; L. Goldman-Favre syndrome; M. Congenital stationary night blindness; N. X-linked juvenile retinoschisis; O. Achromatopsia; P. Cone dystrophy; Q. Usher syndrome. II. It is the policy of health plans affiliated with Centene that ERG is not medically necessary for any of the following indications: A. Management or diagnosis of glaucoma; B. Management or diagnosis of autism. Background Information ERGs are usually obtained using electrodes embedded in a corneal contact lens or a thin wire inside the lower eyelid that measure a summation of retinal electrical activity at the corneal surface. The ERG helps to distinguish retinal degeneration and dystrophies. Multi-focal electroretinography (mfERG) is a higher resolution form of ERG enabling assessment of ERG activity in small areas of the retina.
