  • Relationship of shallow optic cup and small disc with nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic nerupathy

      Objective To observe the relationship between shallow optic cup,small disc and occurrence in patients with nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION).Methods Ninetysix patients(96 diseased eyes)who accorded with the diagnosis criteria for NAION,with duration ge; three months and optic disc edema in paracmasis were selected. The fellow eyes of 96 NAION patients and 80 normal eyes were selected in our study. The horizontal and vertical disc and cup diameters,optic cup depth, and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness were measured by quot;crossquot; and quot;ringquot; scan of optical coherence tomography (OCT,Humphrey 2000,German Carl Zeiss Company) inspection system. The cup depth were classified four grades by cup shape according to OCT images:GradeⅠ,bottom of optic cup above the anterior plane of peripapillary neuroepithelial layer(PNL);GradeⅡ,bottom of optic cup above the plane of PNL;Grade Ⅲ,bottom of optic cup between the plane of PNL and choroidal pigment epithelium;Grade Ⅳ,bottom of optic cup under the plane of choroidal pigment epithelium connection. The grades of optic cup and value in three groups were statistically analyzed. The follow up ranged from six months to three years.Results The disc diameter in horizontal scanning of diseased eyes,fellow eyes and normal eyes were (1.29plusmn;0.19), (1.32plusmn;0.17), (1.40plusmn;0.15) mm,and diameters in vertical scanning were (1.52plusmn;0.14), (1.49plusmn;0.17), (1.60plusmn;0.22) mm, respectively. Compared the diseased eyes and fellow eyes with normal eyes,the difference were statistically significant in horizontal scanning (t=4.291,3.315; P<0.05) and in vertical scanning (t=2.812, 3.654; P<0.05). Compared the diseased eyes with fellow eyes,the difference of average diameter were not statistically significant in horizontal and vertical scanning (t=1.153,1.335; P>0.05). Of the diseased eyes,GradeⅠoptic cup in 36 eyes(37.50),Grade Ⅱ-Ⅲoptic cup in 52 eyes(54.17%),Grade Ⅳoptic cup in eight eyes(8.33%),and GradeⅠ-Ⅲ optic cup in 88 eyes(91.67%)were found. Of the fellow eyes,GradeⅠoptic cup in 18 eyes(18.75%),Grade Ⅱ-Ⅲoptic cup in 69 eyes(71.88%),Grade Ⅳoptic cup in nine eyes(9.34%),and GradeⅠ-Ⅲ optic cup in 87 eyes(9066%)were found. Compared the average RNFL thickness of diseased eyes with the fellow eyes and normal eyes,the differences were statistically significant in temporal, upper, nasal, lower quadrant(t=12.862,10.147,15.046,8.180,12.859,9.562,12.174,8.632;P<0.001). Compared the average RNFL thickness of the fellow eyes and normal eyes,the differences were not statistically significant in all quadrants(t=1.040,1.576,1.062,1.192;P>0.05). During the followup,eight eyes with recurrence which optic cup were GradeⅠand Ⅱin diseased eyes;44 eyes(45.8%)occurred NAION. Correlation analysis showed that there was negative correlation between incidence of fellow eye and optic cup depth(t=-0.757, P=0.000). Conclusion Optic cup and disk in NAION patients are smaller than that in the normal,the anatomical characteristics of shallow cup and small disc was one of the NAION pathogenesis.

  • Position of central fixation of normal adults detected by microperimetry

    Objective To observe the relationship between position of normal central fixation and the position of the optic disc, and to find out the features of stability of fixation. Methods The position of central fixation of 120 eyes of 60 healthy adults was determined by MP-1 microperimeter. The position of central fixation relative to the position of the optic disk was measured. The relationship between the central fixation and the age or refraction was analyzed statistically. The difference between the right and left eye in each individual was analyzed with t test. Results The central fixation located at the retina with the horizontal distance of 14.48deg;plusmn;1.85deg; and vertical distance of -2.14deg;plusmn;1.26deg; from the temporal edge of the optic disk. In the 120 eyes, 90% of the central fixation located in a bivariate normal ellipse. The normal eyes usually kept in a slightly moving condition when a normal person fixing on a subject. The median of horizontal and vertical deviation was 0.4deg; and 0.3deg; respectively. Conclusion The distribution of central fixation in healthy adults is a bivariate normal ellipse. When fixing on a subject, the moving extent of the eyes in the horizontal direction is larger than that in the vertical direction.

  • Morphological analysis of hemorrhage of optic disc in normal-tension glaucoma

    Objective To study prospectively the morphological relations among hemorrhage of optic disc, defect of retinal nerve fiber layer, and peripapillary atrophy in normal-tension glaucoma (NTG). Methods Qualitative and quantitative methods were applied to evaluate the relations among hemorrhage of optic disc, defect of retinal nerve fiber layer, and peripapillary atrophy by using stereo ocular fundus photography and computer analyzer systems. Results In 37 patients (42 eyes) in NTG hemorrhage group, 50 hemorrhagic spots at optic disc was found, including coloboma of retinal nerve fiber layer in 35 eyes (83.3%)(35/42). In 35 patients (40 eyes) in non-hemorrahge group, partial coloboma of retinal nerve fiber layer was found in 21 eyes (52.5%)(21/40). The difference of incidence of coloboma of retinal nerve fiber layer between the two groups was not significant (chi;2=1.403, P=0.236). The incidence of atrophic arc in hemorrhage group differed much from which in non-hemorrhage group (chi;2=7.008, P=0.008). The area of atrophic arc at beta;section in hemorrhage group [(2.05plusmn;0.88)mm2] was significantly different from which in non-hemorrhage group[(1.42plusmn;0.53)mm2](t=-2.618, P=0.012). In the follow-up period, the difference of incidence of disc-rim loss between hemorrhage and non-hemorrhage group was significant, (chi;2=5.802, P=0.016); while the difference of the incidence of visual field defect between the two groups was not. Conclusion In eyes with NTG, hemorrhage of optic disc, coloboma of retinal nerve fiber layer and atrophic arc are closely related. More disc-rim loss and changes of atrophic-arc area in hemorrhage group in the follow-up period suggests that hemorrhage of optic disc is the risk factor of development of NTG. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2006, 22: 232-235)

  • Relationship between optic disc hemorrhage and localized retinal nerve fiber layer defect in normal-tension glaucoma

    ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between optic disc hemorrhage and localized retinal never fiber layer defects (RNFLDs) in norma l tension glaucoma.MethodsIn 83 patients with normal-tension glaucoma, the cumulative frequency and quadrantal distribution of optic disc hemorrhages were retrospectively analyzed. The neighboring relation between optic disc hemorrhages and RNFLDs in a same quadrant and the changes of correspondin gretinal never fiber layer (RNFL) after the occurrence of optic disc hemorrhages were observed by tridimensional photochromy of ocular fundus.Results(1) The occurrences and distribution of optic disc hemorrhages: 29of83(34.94%) patients (33 eyes) had totally 58 occurrences, including 39 in infer iotemporal area, 14 in superiotemporal area, and 5 in other area. (2) The relati onship of neighborhood between optic disc hemorrhages and RNFLDs: in the availab le tridimensional photochrome, 23 occurrences in 15 patients (16 eyes) were foun d with cuneiform RNFLDs in the same quadrant, in which 22 was near the border of cuneiform RNFLDs. (3) The changes of corresponding retinal never fiber layer (R NFL) after the occurrence of optic disc hemorrhages: the photochromes of 24 occurrences in 20 patients (21 eyes) were kept well in the initial and the 2-year follow-up periods, while the changes of RNFL were found in each region correspon ding to the 19 occurrences (in inferiotemporal or superiotemporal area) in the initial photochrome, including 7 cuneiform defects with various sizes, and 12 developed localized RNFLDs next to the initial hemorrhages in the optic disc. No obvious localized RNFL corresponding to the other 5 occurrences (1 in inferiotempo ral, 1 in superiotemporal, and 3 in other areas) were found in the follow up period.ConclusionOptic disc hemorrhages in normal-tension glaucoma occur mostly in inferiotemporal area, and secondly in superiotemporal area of optic disc, and the appearance of optic disc hemorrhages may suggest that the localized RNFLDS would develop in the associated regions.(Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,2004,20:339-342)

  • Peripapillary Subretinal hemorrhage

    Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and the related factors of peripapillary subretinal hemorrhage (PPSRH). Methods The clinical documents of fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) of 23 patients (23 eyes) with PPSRH were retrospectively analyzed. Results All of the 23 eyes was myopes with middle or slight degree, and the corrected visual acuity was≥1.0. Among the 23 patients, 9 eyes were PPSRH, 13 eyes were PPSRH with disc hemorrhage, and 1 eye was PPSRH with disc and vitreous hemorrhage. All of the PPSRH was localed at the nasal edge of optic disc. Through FFA the hemorrhage showed blocked fluorescence and the optic disc showed nodular hyperfluorescence at the late phase, and nothing abnormal in the unaffected eyes. Conclusion PPSRH might be related to buried optic disc drusen. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2002, 18: 96-97)

  • The changes of the shapes of optic disc and retinal nerve fiber layer in primary open-angle glaucoma with myopia

    Objective To investigate the features of optic disc formation and retinal nerve fiber layer(RNFL) changes in primary open-angle glaucoma with myopia (M-POAG). Methods On 63 eyes of 38 patients with M-POAG were imaged of the fundus,and were evaluated with the microcomputer image analyser,and were compared with the simple POAG (S-POAG) eyes. Results Variant features of the optic disc and RNFL atrophy were found in this M-POAG eyes.The shapes of the optic disc were revealed to be vertically or horizontally oval,obliquely inserted and irregular,the color of the most of optic disc was pallor.The pattern of glaucomatous cupping was saucer-like (28.6%),vertical (25.4%),oblique (23.8%),pot-like (9.5%),and focally or concentrically cupped.The quotient of the neuroretinal rim area and horizontal C/D ratio were significantly lower than those in S-POAG eyes (Plt;0.05,Plt;0.001).The focal point of the optic disc excavtions tended to be inferior.Most of the incidence in the focal atrophy of RNFL was located inferiorly,and the diffuse atrophy of RNFL was correlated positively with middle or late high-myopia POAG eyes (P<0.005). Conclusion The variant features of the optic discs,glaucomatous cupping and RNFL atrophy formation in M-POAG eyes found in this series might be helpful in clinical diagnosis. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,2000,16:81-84)

  • Prepapillary and preretinal vascular loops

    Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of prepapillary and preretinal vascular loops. Methods The clinical manifestation, results of the fundus fluorescein angiography, and the prognosis of 20 cases(24 eyes) with prepapillary and preretinal vascual loops were analyzed retrospectively. Results 66.7% of prepapillary and preretinal vascular loops were involved in one eye, and 95.8% of vascular loops were located within one optic disc diameter. There were different configuration types of the vascular loops. Among 20 cases(24 eyes) of the vascular loops, 70.8%(17 eyes) were arterial, 12.5%(3 eyes) were venous, and 16.7%(4 eyes) were both arterial and venous. 62.5% of eyes with prepapillary and preretinal vascular loops were associated with other congenital and developmental anomalies of retinal vascular vessels. Conclusion Most PRVL are arterial and superior to the optic disc. The serious distortion of the vascular loops may result in disturbance of blood flow in artery and retinal hemorrhage, which cause visual loss. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 1999, 15: 9-11)

  • Incidence of diabetic iridopathy and optic disc neovascularization in the contralateral eyes of proliferative diabetic retinopathy with proliferative diabetic iridopathy

    ObjectiveTo observe the incidence of diabetic iridopathy and optic disc neovascularization in the contralateral eyes of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) with proliferative diabetic iridopathy (PDI). MethodsA retrospective case-control study. From February 2014 to May 2020, 72 eyes of 36 patients with PDR and PDI who underwent iris fluorescein angiography (IFA) combined with fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA) at the Henan Eye Institute were enrolled in the study. Among them, there were 34 eyes in 17 males and 38 eyes in 19 females; the average age was 62.3±4.7 years. All patients underwent best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure, IFA combined with FFA examination. The BCVA examination was performed using the international standard visual acuity chart, which was converted into logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution BCVA for statistic analysis. According to PDI staging, patients were divided into early rubeosis iridis (RI) group and neovascular glaucoma (NVG) group, with 28 and 8 cases respectively. Compared with NVG group, RI group had better BCVA and intraocular pressure, and the difference was statistically significant (t=6.433, 10.619; P=0.000, 0.011). The incidence of PDI and the incidence of binocular optic disc neovascularization in the two groups were compared, and Fisher's exact probability method was used for comparison. ResultsThe results of the IFA examination showed that in the RI group, the pupil border and the iris surface of the iris of the affected eyes had strong neovascular bud-like or patchy fluorescence; the pupil border and the middle of the iris of the patients in the NVG stage had strong neovascular cluster-like fluorescence. Among the contralateral eyes in the RI group, 6 eyes (21.4%, 6/28) were with PDI (stage RI), 21 eyes (75.0%, 21/28) were with non-PDI (NPDI), and 1 eye (1/ 28, 3.6%) were absence of diabetic iris disease. Among the contralateral eyes in the NVG group, there were 5 eyes with PDI (62.5%, 5/8), including 4 eyes with RI stage, 1 eye with NVG stage (12.5%, 1/8); 3 eyes with NPDI. The image of IFA in patients with NPDI early showed as punctate fluorescence in the local small blood vessels of the iris itself. The incidence of PDI in the contralateral eye of the RI group was lower than that of the NVG group, and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.040). The results of FFA examination showed that 9 (32.1%, 9/28) and 8 (28.6%, 8/28) eyes of the affected eye and the contralateral eye in the RI group were combined with optic disc neovascularization. In NVG group, there were seperately 6 eyes (75.0%, 6/8) in the affected eyes and the contralateral eyes with optic disc neovascularization. The differences in the incidence of optic disc neovascularization between the two groups of the affected eyes and the contralateral eye were statistically significant (P=0.046, 0.040). ConclusionThe incidence of PDI and optic disc neovascularization in the contralateral eye of PDR and PDI, RI is lower than that of NVG.

  • Clinical characteristics of pseudopapilledema combined with peripapillary hyper-reflective ovoid mass-like structures in children

    ObjectiveTo observe the clinical characteristics and optical coherence tomography (OCT) features of pseudopapilledema (PPE) combined with peripapillary hyper-reflective ovoid mass-like structures (PHOMS) in children. MethodsA retrospective observational study. From October 2019 to May 2021, total 22 eyes from 12 children diagnosed as PPE combined with PHOMS in the Neuro-ophthalmology Department of The First Hospital of Xi’an (Affiliated of The First Hospital of Northwest University) were recruited. Among the children, 6 were male and 6 were female. The average age was (10.6±2.7) years. The average course from disease onset to diagnosis of PPE combined with PHOMS was (8.0±7.5) months. All patients underwent best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), relative afferent papillary defect (RAPD), Ishihara's test, fundus photography, OCT, fundus autofluorescence (FAF), ocular B-mode ultrasound, visual field and patternvisual evoked potential (P-VEP). The clinical and OCT characteristics of the patients were observed. ResultsThe anterior segments of the patients were normal. The intraocular pressures and Ishihara's test were all normal. All RAPD were negative. Total 22 eyes, BCVA was 1.0 in 21 eyes and one eye was 0.12. The fundus photography revealed blurred optic discs margin, showing mild to moderate edema-like elevation with more prominent in the nasal parts, presenting as a “C” shape halo. No obvious abnormal fluorescence was observed in FAF. The OCT scan of involvement eyes showed an elevated appearance in vary degrees, and the sharply marginated ovoid hyper-reflective mass-like structures which laterally herniated into the peripapillary region under retinal nerve fiber layer and above the Bruch membrane were detected with consecutive nasal enlargement scanning, corresponding to the nasal parts in the fundus photography. The higher degree of elevation, the larger the volume. Macular retina pigment epithelium layer and ganglion cell thickness were normal. Ocular B-mode ultrasound showed that the head of the optic nerve in the posterior wall of the eyeball (in front of the optic disc) was elevated in all affected eyes, and there was no strong signal echo in it. Visual field examination showed physical blind spot enlargement in 3 eyes and visual field defect in 2 eyes. P-VEP examination showed that the peak was slightly delayed in 3 eyes and the amplitude was slightly reduced in 3 eyes. ConclusionsEnlarged nasal optic disc OCT scan can improve the detection rate of PHOMS. PHOMS were detected bilaterally in the cases with binocular PPE while only in the effected eye in the cases of monocular PPE; the higher degree of PPE, the lager volume of PHOMS. PHOMS were could contribute to the diagnosis of PPE in children.
