2 DISSERTATION MACULAR DISORDERS STUDIED WITH OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY University of Seychelles American Institute of Medicine (USAIM) M.Ch. Ophthalmology Batch: October 2008 Candidate: PG Guide: Dr. Huzeifa M. Husein Dr. Ajay I. Dudani 1
3 ABSTRACT / SCOPE The study was carried out to obtain diagnosis of Macular Disorders using Optical Coherence Tomography for the following conditions 1. Diabetic Maculopathy 2. Age Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD) 3. Central Serous Retinopathy 4. Macular Hole 5. Cystoid Macular Oedema 6. Epiretinal Membrane 7. Macular Scar 8. Idiopathic Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy Diagnosis was aimed at providing conclusive evidence, for initial observations made by direct & indirect ophthalmoscopy. These OCT interpretations were helpful in providing an insight into the probable course of the disease, modality of treatment (Laser / Anti VEGF) required, effect of treatment (Eg: Decrease in CSME with focal laser) as also effective tool for patient counseling. Early lesions not visible by Direct / Indirect / 90D examinations or lesions without quantitative data (How big or how thick) even disputed lesions (Present or absent) can be distinguished out easily. 2
4 MATERIALS & METHODS 40 cases with Macular pathology were studied from April 2006 to September All consecutive cases with positive clinical findings on Direct Ophthalmoscope and Indirect Ophthalmoscope, showing pathological involvement of macula were selected. Age / Sex exclusion were not a criteria. On screening, those patients having macular lesions were subjected to detailed evaluation. History: Elicited from the patient onset, duration and vision reduction was noted. Symptoms: Macropsia Micropsia Metamorphopsia Positive Central Scotoma (inquired) Family History: Specific family history was asked (if related). Systemic History: History of Tuberculosis with treatment, Diabetes Mellitus, and Hypertension was ascertained. Past History: History of any ocular surgery or treatment was asked. History of any ocular laser was also asked. Drug History: Chlorpromazine Chloroquine AKT drugs 3
5 Examination: Distance Vision noted on Snellen s Chart Near Vision noted on Jagger s Colour Vision Ishihara s Chart External Examination on Slit Lamp: Cornea Anterior Chamber Iris Pattern Pupil Lens The above were examined to rule out any pathology. Intraocular pressure was noted with Keeler Pulsair (Intellipuff). AMSLER S GRID All the patients in the study were also subjected to Amsler s Grid. Each eye was tested separately, with reading glasses where prescribed. The central dot was to be focused. Any distortion, waviness of lines, burred areas or scotomas were questioned. After this, all the patients were examined with dilated pupils. Initially, Direct Ophthalmoscope. Subsequently, Indirect Ophthalmoscopy was done. Lastly, Slit Lamp +90D was used. The presence of Macular Lesion was noted as follows: o Size o Shape o Oedema o Hemorrhage o Exudate o Scarring 4
6 o Pigmentation Fundus Fluorscein angiography was performed in few patients with suspect clinical findings. Lab Investigations Complete Blood Count, Haemoglobin, ESR, Blood Sugar Fasting & Post Parandial, HIV, VDRL, Torch Titers, X ray Chest After the above tests, the OCT was performed in all the patients. Procedure / Patient Experience The patient s experience is normally brief and comfortable. Each eye scan be done roughly in 5 7 minutes. The patient is seated in front of the OCT camera with chin on chin rest & forehead touching the headrest. The central ring is brought into focus, after which retinal vessels & optic disc are brought into focus. A laser beam, directed by the onboard computer scans various parts of the retina. The patient sees a rectangular field of red punctuated by green lights while the test is in progress. OBSERVATIONS & STATISTICS TABLE I: PATIENTS ACCORDING TO AGE Age in Years No. Of Patients % >

9 DISCUSSION I. DIABETIC MACULOPATHY 11 cases (out of total 40) (27.5%) were of diabetic maculopathy. After routine examination, fundus photography, FFA was done to rule out Clinically Significant Macular Oedema (CSME). In all the cases, it was difficult to diagnose with certainty CSME. (By Indirect Ophthalmoscopy, fundus photograph) CSME being defined by the ETDRS study - Thickening of retina within 500μm from the center of fovea - Hard exudates at or within 500μm from the center of fovea, associated with adjacent retinal thickening - Retinal thickening of 1 Disk Diameter or more, any part of which maybe within 1 Disk Diameter from the center of fovea In our (above) patients with Diabetic Maculopathy, 4 cases (10%) showed focal leak and 3 cases (7.5%) diffuse oedema on FFA. OCT picture showed retinal thickening >500μm at the center of the fovea, corresponding to CSME. Focal grid laser was given to 4 (10%) of the patients with focal leaks and 3 (7.5%) with diffuse leaks were given grid laser. 4 (10%) remaining patients had retinal thickening with Neovascularization. I.e. Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (PDR), which was treated with Pan Retinal Photocoagulation and also grid laser. Good visual recovery was seen in 7 out of 11 patients. Repeat OCT could be done in only 2 patients due to poor patient follow up and cost factor. Repeat OCT in these patients showed that retinal thickening was decreased to <225μm with good visual acuity improvement. 8
10 Diabetic CSME has been described in four patterns by OCT i. Sponge Like Thickening Thickening of the retina like a sponge is seen here Treatment Focal Laser ii. Cystoid Macular Oedema Cyst like spaces are seen between the internal nuclear layer and outer plexiform layer Treatment Intravitreal Kenacort then, Focal Laser iii. Serous, Sub foveal Retinal Detachment An elevation is seen, corresponding to a Retinal Detachment just above the RPE chorio capillary layer Treatment Intravitreal Kenacort iv. Taut Posterior Hyaloid Membrane The outermost layer of the retina appears to be pulled taut by the hyaloid, giving rise to traction Treatment Para Planna Vitrectomy II. AGE RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION (ARMD) Total 8 patients (20%) were diagnosed with ARMD. 5 had Dry ARMD (62.5%) and 3 had Wet ARMD (37.5%). The 3 patients with Wet ARMD underwent FFA and only one was seen to have classic Choroidal Neovascularization (CNV). On OCT imaging the Dry ARMD patients showed a) Local modulation of the RPE layer b) Thinning of neurosensory retina like a geographic atrophic patch On OCT imaging the Wet ARMD patients showed a) Classic CNV: Fusiform thickening and localized disruption of the RPE Chorio Capillary layer. Retinal oedema and sub retinal fluid also helped in diagnosis 9
11 b) Occult CNV: Seen as an area of increased Choroidal reflectivity due to increased penetration of the RPE c) Fibrovascular PED: Seen as elevated RPE layer above an area of mild back scattering region, corresponding to fibrovascular proliferation All the patients (3) of Wet ARMD had metamorphopsia. These patients were referred for PDT or TTT to a private practioner. The patients being poor didn t go there and thus had severe scarring with vision loss. Active Stage Highly reflective, many layered area was seen protruding into the sub retinal space. Intermediate Stage CNV reflectivity became stronger and its margin in the sub retinal space became smooth. Cicatricial Stage Moderately high reflective are covered by a dome shaped highly reflective area which corresponded to RPE was seen. III. CENTRAL SEROUS RETINOPATHY (CSR) CSR was seen in 6 patients (15%) in our study. 2 of these (33.3%) were females and 4 (66.6%) were males. Thus confirming that the incidence was more in males than females. 5 patients were in the age group of years and one was between years. All the patients were subjected to FFA first then OCT. 4 patients (66.6%) on FFA showed smoke stack appearance and 2 patients (33.3%) showed non specific leakage of dye. OCT was diagnostic in 2 of these non specific FFA patients. (8) 10
12 3 of the 6 patients (50%) had metamorphopsia with a positive Amsler Grid test. OCT imaging showed a characteristic elevation of the neurosensory retina. 3 of the 6 patients of CSR had Visual Acuity of 6/12 (Corrected by +1.5D). 3 of these patients followed up with us and had final visual acuity of 6/6 without any treatment. OCT was possible to be repeated in only one patient, it was seen as the characteristic settling of neurosensory retina. IV. MACULAR HOLE Macular holes were contributory by 5 cases (12.5%). From these 3 cases (60%) were diagnosed to be lamellar holes and 2 (40%) to be full thickness holes. (1 being post trauma). Of the total 5 cases, 3 patients had metamorphopsia with positive Amsler Grid. 2 patients with full thickness holes (50%) had positive central scotoma. Watzake (9) sign was positive in 2 patients with full thickness macular hole. In 3 of the patients with partial thickness holes, OCT was the ultimate diagnostic tool. Differentiation: Lamellar Hole: Diagnosed by evidence of perifoveal vitreous detachment with no loss of whole retinal tissue Full Thickness Hole: Diagnosed by the clear loss if retinal tissue at the fovea extending up o the RPE. Importance of OCT in Macular Hole - Surgical Planning & post surgery follow up - Screening & monitoring of other eye - Vitro retinal interface assessment. Demonstration of Posterior Vitreous Detachment (PVD), Vitreo macular traction & surrounding fluid cuff (2) 11
13 V. CYSTOID MACULAR OEDEMA (CME) 3 patients (7.5%) had poor postoperative vision after routine cataract surgery I.e. < 6/36. Fundus photograph showed a dull foveal reflex. On FFA there was absence of the characteristic flower petal appearance. On comparison of FFA with OCT sensitivity, in detecting CME is 96% & specificity being 100% (10) However in all these patients, OCT showed characteristic cyst like spaces in the retinal layer. Local NSAIDS were prescribed for 3 months period. VI. EPIRETINAL MEMBRANE (ERM) A total of 3 patients (7.5%) had ERM. 2 were following Retinal Detachment surgery (66.6%). 1 patient with no discernable cause (33.3%). All the 3 patients had metamorphopsia. OCT imaging showed thickened membrane with a cleavage point seen in all 3 patients. Using OCT it was possible to study characteristics of ERM - Membrane presence with thickness - Retinal fluid accumulation - Cystic Changes - Presence of focal verses global retinal surface adherence The above increased the quality of preoperative assessment, helping in giving a postoperative visual prognosis. (11) Advantage of OCT being Depending upon the site of cleavage point, the surgeon can enter the vitrectomy scissor for ERM peeling. VII. MACULAR SCAR In total 2 of the patients (5%) had a macular scar. 1 after toxoplasma and the other idiopathic. 12
14 VIII. IDIOPATHIC POLYPOIDAL CHOROIDAL VASCULOPATHY (IPCV) Idiopathic polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (IPCV) was diagnosed in only 3 patients (5%). They were initially diagnosed, erroneously as CNV. Later on Indo Cyanine Green (ICG), they showed polypoidal mass with complete wash out after ICG. OCT in both patients showed serous PED, seen as RPE chorio capillary layer elevation. 13 patients (32.5%) showed metamorphopsia. Some patients who didn t have symptoms of metamorphopsia had a positive Amsler Grid test, as seen in 15 patients (37.5%). CONCLUSION Our study consisted of 40 cases of macular disorders who underwent OCT. The following conclusions were drawn 1. Diabetic Maculopathy the most common. 11 cases (27.5%) 2. a) 4 cases (36.3%) of the 11 cases of Diabetic Maculopathy had Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy with Taut Posterior Hyaloid Membrane, in which cases par planna vitrectomy is indicated. b) 7 cases (63.7%) remaining, had focal as well as diffuse leaks on FFA, in whom focal or grid laser was given. 3. Age Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD) was seen in 8 cases (20%). 3 cases (37.5%) were of Wet ARMD & 5 cases (62.5%) were of Dry ARMD. OCT helped determine the depth & spread of Choroidal Neovascularization (CNV). 4. Central Serous Retinopathy (CSR) was seen in 6 cases (15%). FFA showed no characteristic appearance in 3 patients (50%) and was thus diagnosed on OCT by elevation of neurosensory retina. 13
15 5. Macular Holes were seen in 5 cases (12.5%). 3 being lamellar hole (60%) & 2 full thickness holes (40%). OCT determined the grade of macular hole as well as the line of treatment. 6. Cystoid Macular Oedema (CME) was present in 3 cases (7.5%), which was difficult to diagnose on FFA. OCT revealed characteristic Cystoid Spaces with increased thickness of the layers. 7. Epiretinal Membrane (ERM) present in 3 cases (7.5%). 2 cases (66.6%) were following Retinal Detachment Surgery and 1 was idiopathic (33.3%). In all 3 cases, cleavage line was seen, which was useful during surgery for ERM peeling. 8. In 3 cases of CSR (7.5%), 2 cases (5%) of Idiopathic Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy (IPCV) and 3 cases of CME (7.5%), in which FFA was not characteristic, OCT gave ultimate diagnosis. Thus OCT was diagnostic in all these above cases. 14
