  • 12 Retina Gabriele K
    299 12 Retina Gabriele K. Lang and Gerhard K. Lang 12.1 Basic Knowledge The retina is the innermost of three successive layers of the globe. It comprises two parts: ❖ A photoreceptive part (pars optica retinae), comprising the first nine of the 10 layers listed below. ❖ A nonreceptive part (pars caeca retinae) forming the epithelium of the cil- iary body and iris. The pars optica retinae merges with the pars ceca retinae at the ora serrata. Embryology: The retina develops from a diverticulum of the forebrain (proen- cephalon). Optic vesicles develop which then invaginate to form a double- walled bowl, the optic cup. The outer wall becomes the pigment epithelium, and the inner wall later differentiates into the nine layers of the retina. The retina remains linked to the forebrain throughout life through a structure known as the retinohypothalamic tract. Thickness of the retina (Fig. 12.1) Layers of the retina: Moving inward along the path of incident light, the individual layers of the retina are as follows (Fig. 12.2): 1. Inner limiting membrane (glial cell fibers separating the retina from the vitreous body). 2. Layer of optic nerve fibers (axons of the third neuron). 3. Layer of ganglion cells (cell nuclei of the multipolar ganglion cells of the third neuron; “data acquisition system”). 4. Inner plexiform layer (synapses between the axons of the second neuron and dendrites of the third neuron). 5. Inner nuclear layer (cell nuclei of the bipolar nerve cells of the second neuron, horizontal cells, and amacrine cells). 6. Outer plexiform layer (synapses between the axons of the first neuron and dendrites of the second neuron).

  • Endogenous Brucella Endophthalmitis: a Case Report
    Saudi Journal of Ophthalmology (2017) xxx, xxx–xxx Case Report Endogenous Brucella endophthalmitis: A case report ⇑ Merih Oray a, ; Zafer Cebeci a; Nur Kir a; Banu Turgut Ozturk b; Lutfiye Oksuz c; Ilknur Tugal-Tutkun a Abstract Brucellosis may be associated with a wide range of ophthalmic manifestations including endophthalmitis, which is a sight- threatening condition that needs to be rapidly recognized and treated to avoid permanent visual loss. A 26-year-old female with a 6-month history of vision loss in the left eye was treated with high dose systemic corticosteroids and azathioprine with an initial misdiagnosis elsewhere. A dense vitreous haze with opacities at the posterior hyaloid and a wide area of retinochoroiditis led to the diagnosis of endogenous endophthalmitis at presentation to us. The vitreous sample and blood cultures demonstrated growth of Brucella melitensis. She received 6 months of systemic antibiotherapy, which resulted in resolution of inflammation; however, visual acuity remained poor due to irreversible damage. Infectious etiology, including brucellosis in endemic countries, has to be considered in the differential diagnosis before administering immunomodulatory therapy in patients with panuveitis of unknown origin.

  • Eyelid and Orbital Infections
    27 Eyelid and Orbital Infections Ayub Hakim Department of Ophthalmology, Western Galilee - Nahariya Medical Center, Nahariya, Israel 1. Introduction The major infections of the ocular adnexal and orbital tissues are preseptal cellulitis and orbital cellulitis. They occur more frequently in children than in adults. In Schramm's series of 303 cases of orbital cellulitis, 68% of the patients were younger than 9 years old and only 17% were older than 15 years old. Orbital cellulitis is less common, but more serious than preseptal. Both conditions happen more commonly in the winter months when the incidence of paranasal sinus infections is increased. There are specific causes for each of these types of cellulitis, and each may be associated with serious complications, including vision loss, intracranial infection and death. Studies of orbital cellulitis and its complication report mortality in 1- 2% and vision loss in 3-11%. In contrast, mortality and vision loss are extremely rare in preseptal cellulitis. 1.1 Definitions Preseptal and orbital cellulites are the most common causes of acute orbital inflammation. Preseptal cellulitis is an infection of the soft tissue of the eyelids and periocular region that is localized anterior to the orbital septum outside the bony orbit. Orbital cellulitis ( 3.5 per 100,00 ) is an infection of the soft tissues of the orbit that is localized posterior to the orbital septum and involves the fat and muscles contained within the bony orbit. Both types are normally distinguished clinically by anatomic location. 1.2 Pathophysiology The soft tissues of the eyelids, adnexa and orbit are sterile. Infection usually originates from adjacent non-sterile sites but may also expand hematogenously from distant infected sites when septicemia occurs.

  • Preseptal and Orbital Cellulitis
    Journal of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases / 2014; 4 (3): 123-127 JMID doi: 10.5799/ahinjs.02.2014.03.0154 REVIEW ARTICLE Preseptal and orbital cellulitis Emine Akçay, Gamze Dereli Can, Nurullah Çağıl Yıldırım Beyazıt Univ. Medical Faculty Atatürk Training and Research Hospital Dept. of Ophthalmology, Ankara, Turkey ABSTRACT Preseptal cellulitis (PC) is defined as an inflammation of the eyelid and surrounding skin, whereas orbital cellulitis (OC) is an inflammation of the posterior septum of the eyelid affecting the orbit and its contents. Periorbital tissues may become infected as a result of trauma (including insect bites) or primary bacteremia. Orbital cellulitis generally occurs as a complication of sinusitis. The most commonly isolated organisms are Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneu- moniae, S. epidermidis, Haempphilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis and S. pyogenes. The method for the diagnosis of OS and PS is computed tomography. Using effective antibiotics is a mainstay for the treatment of PC and OC. There is an agreement that surgical drainage should be performed in cases of complete ophthalmoplegia or significant visual impairment or large abscesses formation. This infections are also at a greater risk of acute visual loss, cavernous sinus thrombosis, meningitis, cerebritis, endo- phthalmitis, and brain abscess in children. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial to control the infection. Diagnosis, treatment, management and complications of PC and OC are summarized in this manuscript.

  • Epstein Barr Virus Dacryoadenitis Resulting in Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca in a Child
    Epstein Barr Virus Dacryoadenitis Resulting in Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca in a Child C. Stephen Foster, M.D. We evaluated a 10 year-old male with bilateral severe dry eye who was profoundly disabled by pain and photophobia despite aggressive conventional lubricant and tear conservation therapy. Serologic studies were initially unrevealing and misleading. A lacrimal gland biopsy, orbital portion, left side, was performed, and tissue was processed for light and immunohistochemical studies, which enabled us to establish the diagnosis. The boy, six months prior to evaluation, had been swimming in a river in Arkansas with friends, and all developed "conjunctivitis" after this outing, but only the patient's ocular symptoms persisted, with bilateral lid swelling, conjunctival injection, and ocular discomfort. Viral conjunctivitis was diagnosed and treated with topical tobramycin and dexamethasone four times daily for two weeks without effect. Increasingly severe superficial punctate keratopathy developed, and Pred Forte every two hours and Decadron ointment at bedtime along with Ciloxan drops every four hours and lubricants were prescribed. Three weeks of this therapy was also not effective in reducing the signs and symptoms. Schirmer values were zero bilaterally, cornea sensitivity was normal bilaterally, and all cultures were negative. Serologic studies disclosed elevated alkaline phosphatase and aspartate aminotransferase, and serum angiotensin converting enzyme determination was elevated and gallium scanning disclosed abnormal uptake of gallium citrate in the parotid and lacrimal glands. All other studies were within normal limits, and HLA typing was not diagnostically helpful. The diagnosis of sarcoidosis was made, and the patient was treated with systemic Prednisone, 100 mg PO QD, without noticeable effect on the ocular signs and symptoms.
