10. Presentation
2nd to 4th decade
Sudden severe loss of central vision
Signs
RD at macula with irregular outline
Intraretinal hemorrhages
Iritis, papillitis and mild vitritis
Resolve with in few weeks
FFA
Early phase-mild hyperfluorescence
Venous phase-staining of SRF
Treatment
15. Primary
FBA
Children and young adults
Secondary
FBA
Associated with infectious retinitis,CRVO
Presentation
Sub acute visual loss
Floaters and/or photopsia
Signs
Florid translucent perivascular sheathing
Anterior uveitis,vitritis and retinal edema
Treatment
Systemic or topical steroids
Editor's Notes
Chronic,usuallyunilateral,low grade pan uveitis with rapid cataract formation and high risk of sec open angle glaucoma.
Blurring sec to cataract formationKP—characteristic small ,round or stellate and grey white,,scattered throughout endothelium,,often ass with feathery fibrin filamentsVitritis may be dense enugh to reduce vision
Earliest—loss of iris cryptsAdvanced stromal atrophy---particularly in pupillary zone---prominent radialn iris blood vesselsPost p layer --- best seen on reteroilluminationHeterochromia---prominent in day light---easily seen in green eyes----frequently hypochromic effected eyeReverse heterochromia---in blue eyes---stromal atrophy—post pigment layer prominent
Amsler sign---vessels in angle cause filliform hemorrhages on ant chamber paracentesisPAS---are small irregular non confluentCataract---extremely common,commences at post capsule ,, results of surgery with PCIOL are goodGlaucoma—late menifestation,,after several years,,,usually controlled on topical therapyRx –long acting steroids triamcinolone acetonoid improvement is temporaryVitrectomy—for severe vitreous opacification===topical steroids are ineffective/mydriatics unnecessary coz no post synechae
It is triggered by immune response to lens proteins following rupture of lens capsule due to trauma or incomplete cataract extractionPresentation-sudden pain ful diminution of visionIf mild inflammation trial of topical steroid therapy and early review 6 to 24 hrs---if no improvement—rx bacterial uveitis
Rare ,idiopathic ,,self limiting ,, unilateral in 75%Macula---2-4 discrete clusters of subtle grey spots at the level of RPE surrounded by hypopigmented yellow halosAfter resolution vision return to normal--- recurrence is un commonTreatment not required
1.Salt and pepper pigmentary disturbance involving periphery and post pole2.Brown red wedge shaped lesion at macula,,,FFA– faint hypofluorescence,,,ERG –normal 3.Multiple small yellow-white spots at post pole,resolve after few weeks,,,ERG- normal4.Round to oval detachment of sensory retina at macula,,,FFA—smoke stack pattern of hyperfluorescence
Very rare ,,self limiting,,frequently unilateral may be preceded by a flu like illnessSigns--- small greyish subretinalthickning at the level of RPE bulls eye appearance may develop following resolution,,,may be ass with visual loss
VKH syndrom—multifocal detachment of sensory retina and in chronic phase –RPE atrophy—FFA—multifocalhyperFSerpiginous—grey white lesion start at disc spread to macula –FFA—inactive lesion hyperF window defectPost scleritis—exudative RD,choroidal foldsPost placoid syphilitic---bilateral,largesolitary,placoid pale yellow subretinal lesionsAPMPPE– multiple large,yellowwhite,placoid lesions at post pole—lead to RPE disturbance----FFA –late hyperF due to staining
Very rare,,frequentlybilateral,,selflimiting,,typically affect healthy individuals,,,may be preceded by flu like illness signs----multiple areas of retinitis post to equatorRecovery ---fundus lesion resolve and vision recoversRx –not required
Signs---discrete post equitorial dull yellow choroidal elevations with ill defined margins associated with adjacent SRF and Macular star away from lesioninflammatiom resolves---better defined margins with resolution of SRF and exudate
Sarcoid– multifocal choroiditis,,retinal granulomas-small discrete yellow white lesionsTB—unilateral focal or less frequently multifocal choroiditis,,large solitary choroidal granulomas are un commonHistopl—acute lesion islocalisedchoroidal swelling,,histo spots—round yellow white 200 um ,,mid peripheryToxopl—solitary inflammatory focus ,multiple foci r un commonMelanoma—solitary elevated subretinal dome shaped mass,,ass with exudative RD adjascentMets—fast growing creamy white placoid lesions---
Usually bilateral occur in 2 formsSigns—florid translucent perivascular sheathing both arteries and veins uncommon findings---papilitis ,hard exudate, retinal hemorrhage and venous occlusionTeatment= no optimal regimen is estb.Primary form has good visual prognosis but significant visual loss may occur in secondary form
