Abstract

Purpose

The aim of this study was to characterize the functional and clinical disturbances and screen the optimal functional tests in assessing Bietti’s crystalline dystrophy (BCD) patients by a cross-sectional method.

Methods

The clinical characteristics of BCD were studied in 15 Chinese patients using fundoscopy, fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), and autofluorescence (AF). The functional features were evaluated by full-field electroretinography (fERG), 85º and 30º perimetry, multifocal ERG (mERG), and chromatic pupillometry.

Results

The 15 patients were separated into three clinical stages according to their fundus features. fERG- and mERG- showed reduced reponses in the early stages. Substages could be further defined according to the fERG results in the intermediate stages. Reduced pupillary light reflex (PLR) activities with blue-and white-light stumili existed in all patients. The most reduced PLR activities were elicited in the advanced stage of patients who had other nonresponsive functional tests.

Conclusions

This study identified the most sensitive functional methods for assessing BCD patients, and the significance of PLR in the advanced stages. In addition, the defined-substages can help us understand the disease more clearly.

Metastase in der periokulären Region

Metastasen Leitthema

Orbitale und periokuläre metastatische Tumoren galten früher als sehr selten. Aber mit der ständigen Aktualisierung von Medikamenten und Nachweismethoden für die Krebsbehandlung werden neue Chemotherapien und Strahlenbehandlungen eingesetzt. Die …

Staging und Systemtherapie bei okulären und periokulären Metastasen

Metastasen Leitthema

Metastasen bösartiger Erkrankungen sind die häufigsten Tumoren, die im Auge diagnostiziert werden. Sie treten bei ungefähr 5–10 % der Patienten mit soliden Tumoren im Verlauf der Erkrankung auf. Besonders häufig sind diese beim Mammakarzinom und …

CME: Wundheilung nach Trabekulektomie

Trabekulektomie CME-Artikel

Wird ein Glaukom chirurgisch behandelt, ist die anschließende Wundheilung von entscheidender Bedeutung. In diesem CME-Kurs lernen Sie, welche Pathomechanismen der Vernarbung zugrunde liegen, wie perioperativ therapiert und Operationsversagen frühzeitig erkannt werden kann.

„standard operating procedures“ (SOP) – Vorschlag zum therapeutischen Management bei periokulären sowie intraokulären Metastasen

Metastasen Leitthema

Peri- sowie intraokuläre Metastasen sind insgesamt gesehen selten und meist Zeichen einer fortgeschrittenen primären Tumorerkrankung. Die Therapie ist daher zumeist palliativ und selten kurativ. Zudem ist die Therapiefindung sehr individuell. Die …
