Macular Haemorrhage (macular + haemorrhage)
Selected AbstractsAcquired factor VIII inhibitor presenting as macular haemorrhageHAEMOPHILIA, Issue 2 2005C. Hon Summary., We report a rare case of idiopathic acquired factor VIII inhibitor in an 80-year old Chinese man presented as sudden onset of monocular blindness because of macular haemorrhage. This was complicated by painful glaucoma that did not respond to medical treatment. The patient died of cerebral haemorrhage shortly afterwards. Most cases of reported intraocular bleeding in acquired haemophiliacs are iatrogenic because of intraocular operations in undiagnosed cases, and spontaneous intraocular haemorrhage has never been reported. The literature reports of intraocular bleeding in hereditary and acquired haemophilia cases are summarized. [source] Case of recurrent macular haemorrhage after removal of a sub-internal limiting membrane haematoma secondary to retinal artery macroaneurysmCLINICAL & EXPERIMENTAL OPHTHALMOLOGY, Issue 6 2006Kazuki Hotta MD Abstract The authors report the case of an 80-year-old man with sub-internal limiting membrane haematoma secondary to retinal artery macroaneurysm in the right eye. Corrected visual acuity was 6/60 in the right eye. Vitreous surgery was performed. The internal limiting membrane over the haematoma was removed by pulling with a soft-tipped extrusion cannula, and then the haematoma was removed with a vitreous cutter. One month post surgery vision had improved to 6/9. Two months post surgery, however, the same macroaneurysm ruptured again, and vision decreased to 6/60. Clinicians should be aware that recurrent macular haemorrhage may occur after removal of sub-internal limiting membrane haematoma secondary to macroaneurysm. [source] Inflammatory choroidal neovascular membrane in presumed ocular Lyme borreliosisACTA OPHTHALMOLOGICA, Issue 3 2009Radgonde Amer Abstract. Introduction:, Lyme disease is a multisystemic disease with protean ocular manifestations. We describe the occurrence of inflammatory choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) in two patients suffering from presumed Lyme disease. Methods:, Descriptive review of the clinical records of two patients. Results:, Patient 1: 16-year-old healthy male presenting with a visual acuity of counting fingers [oculus dexter (OD)] and 6/6 [oculus sinister (OS)] 3 months after a tick bite. He had papillitis and an exudative subretinal macular lesion OD. Treatment was started with intravenous (IV) ceftriaxone; a week later, IV methylprednisolone was administered with a tapering dose of oral steroids thereafter. Three months later, VA had improved to 3/60 OD. Patient 2: 38-year-old healthy female presenting with reduced left-eye vision (6/24) 6 weeks after a tick bite. She also suffered from erythema migrans and arthralgias. She had left-eye papillitis, macular haemorrhages and vascular sheathing. Treatment was started with IV ceftriaxone. One month later, there was profound loss of vision with development of CNVM. Treatment was declined by the patient and eventually retinal fibrosis developed. Conclusion:, Inflammatory CNVM has not been described previously in the setting of ocular Lyme borreliosis. We herein describe the occurrence of inflammatory CNVM in two patients whose diagnosis with Lyme disease was clinically based , both were sero-negative. Visual outcome in the two patients was profoundly impaired because of the ensuing macular scar. [source] | ||||||||||
