Abstract:

A 3-year-old girl presented with sudden onset of bilateral vision loss on waking up from sleep. There had been no associated eye pain, eye redness, fever or history of trauma in the days leading up to the presentation. She had been diagnosed with Evans syndrome at the age of 18 months and started on a regular dose of oral prednisolone under regular follow-up at the paediatric clinic. Upon presentation, her visual acuity was light perception bilaterally, with relative afferent pupillary defect in the right eye and sluggish pupils bilaterally. Bilateral fundus examination showed normal macula an

Abstract:

Cortical blindness is defined as bilateral visual loss due to disruption of the visual pathways beyond the lateral geniculate body. Visual disturbance as a result of cortical lesion can manifest in different ways. Anton's syndrome is one of the manifestations of cortical blindness, which presents as denial of loss of vision associated with confabulation in the setting of obvious visual loss. This case illustrates the challenges of diagnosing cortical blindness in the emergency setting.

Abstract:

A 58-year-old Malay man with a history of ischemic heart disease, well-controlled diabetes mellitus, and hypertension presented with sudden loss of vision after he underwent angiogram (cardiac catheterization) with contrast. Post-angiogram, his visual acuity deteriorated gradually to no perception of light bilaterally within 1 h duration. Clinically, there was no new intraocular pathology and neurologic examination was normal. An urgent noncontract computed tomography (CT) scan of the brain showed the presence of contrast in the venous sinuses but no obvious acute intracranial hemorrhage. Bila

While Streptococcus pneumoniae is well recognised to cause bacterial meningitis, direct extension into the central nervous system parenchyma is rare.

Abstract:

Background: Blindness (anopia) is a functional loss of vision, which could be due either to ophthalmological or neurological conditions. Blindness may be congenital or acquired. The main causes of blindness in adults are cataracts, uncorrected ametropia (myopia, astigmatism), glaucoma, macular dystrophy, cortical ischemic strokes, etc. In less than 10% of the patients, the reason for cortical blindness is bilateral occipital strokes, one of them hemorrhagic.

AbstractWe report a 71-year-old male with microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) who developed sudden-onset, progressive, bilateral visual loss associated with a relapse of MPA symptoms. The patient was referred to our hospital, and treated with intravenous pulse steroid therapy and high-dose oral prednisolone. Although the right eye remained vision deficient, visual acuity in the left eye recovered. Ocular manifestations of MPA are quite uncommon. This case emphasizes the necessity of early detection and initiation of prompt therapy where ocular manifestations of MPA occur.

Elevated serum IGF-1 level is a useful screening tool for acromegaly. However, IGF-1 levels may appear normal in conditions such as liver disease, malnutrition, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and pituitary apoplexy. When serum IGF-1 levels are normal, it is easy to miss the diagnosis of acromegaly without a high index of suspicion and/or a GH suppression test.

Abstract:

Background: A rare subset of sarcoidosis, neurosarcoidosis, is reported to occur in 5-7% of sarcoid patients and can manifest in a variety of ways. The most common are facial paralysis and optic neuritis, less commonly causing cochleovestibulopathy, blindness, anosmia, and other cranial nerve (CN) palsies. The sensory deficit may be severe and psychiatric symptoms may result from the effects of the disease or steroid treatment. Although MRI-compatible cochlear implants are now available, concerns about the feasibility of recoverable hearing with cochlear implantation in these patients as well

Abstract:

Introduction. Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) refers to a relatively obscure syndrome with unclear pathogenesis, leading to patient disability, occurring in 58% of cases against a background of arterial hypertension. Clinical manifestations include cephalalgia, epileptic seizures, and visual disturbances, potentially culminating in complete blindness. The clinical case represents a rare life-threatening condition that may pose challenges for an attending physician regarding the appropriate therapeutic strategy.Aim.

Background: Glaucoma is a cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. This study aims to describe a case of juvenile open-angle glaucoma with a history of post-ventriculoperitoneal shunt perineal tumor. Case presentation: A 27 years old man came with complaints of blurred vision in both eyes about 2 years ago. The vision in both eyes is felt to be progressively decreasing, almost the same in both eyes. Blurred vision felt suddenly while driving 1 year ago. The patient had been diagnosed with a pineal tumor and underwent surgery to install a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt for hydrocephalu

BackgroundClassification criteria for vasculitis, including giant cell arteritis (GCA) are under constant revision. In 2022, the American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) criteria were presented, renewing those published by ACR in 1990. They include wider range of clinical criteria and imaging tests, such as ultrasonography (US) and Positron emission tomography (PET), which has contributed to the diagnosis of a higher number of cases.ObjectivesTo assess the concordance between recent 2022 ACR/EULAR giant cell arteritis classification criteria and the cri

ABSTRACTPurposeof review: Acute bilateral blindness has an extensive differential diagnosis that requires a careful history and physical exam to narrow down. In this paper we discuss the pathophysiology and radiographic findings of each possible diagnosis for acute bilateral blindness.Recent findings:Visual pathology with respect to bilateral blindness can be broadly broken down into three anatomic categories: media (i.e. the anterior and posterior chamber of the eye), retina, and neural visual pathway. Possible causes of rapid onset bilateral blindness include bilateral occipital infarcts, en

Background: Most cases of sudden blindness are due to vascular causes. Ischemic optic neuropathy is a rare cause of blindness reported most commonly in association with collagen-vascular diseases, infectious processes, and systemic hypotension related to massive exsanguinating hemorrhage.

Abstract:

Acute bilateral blindness is an emergent condition that may signal life-threatening disease. The approach focuses on identification of life-threatening disease processes, while differentiating between ocular, psychogenic and neurologic aetiologies. We present the case of an 88-year-old man with multiple cardiovascular risk factors and bilateral chronic glaucoma and cataracts. He presented to the emergency department with sudden onset bilateral loss of visual acuity with no other relevant changes on physical examination, including other neurologic deficits.
