CASE 1: RAPID
PROGRESSION OF DIABETIC
RETINOPATHY
Reference: REED T. GIBB, O.D.; HARALD E.
OLAFSSON, O.D., F.A.A.O.
BACKGROUND
A 54-year-old male presented for an annual
diabetic visual evaluation.
The patient had no visual complaints and
stated that his blood sugar normally reads ab
out 155mg/dl, with an occasional reading of
200mg/dl.
His last eye exam was about two years ago.
HISTORY
A diagnosis of mild non-proliferative diabetic
retinopathy (NPDR) without clinically significa
nt macular edema (CSME).
We noted hard exudates in the posterior
pole, but away from foveal tissue.
All other ocular history was unremarkable.
No related social history was noted.
MEDICAL HISTORY
Renal insufficiency
Depression
Hyperlipidemia
Hypertension
Cellulitis of the leg
Type II diabetes with renal and ophthalmic
manifestations.
Medications include insulin injections b.i.d.
Dressings to treat cellulitis of the leg.
EXAM FINDINGS
Upon examination, all entrance testing was
normal, other than entering acuities of 20/402 O.U.
Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was
20/25 O.U.
Tonometry revealed intraocular pressure
(IOP) of 12mm Hg O.D. and 15mm Hg O.S.
EXAM FINDINGS
Microaneurysms and hemorrhages are noted
in all four quadrants.
Diagnosis: Type II diabetes mellitus with
mild/ moderate NPDR, CSME O.D. and O.S.
We
1ST FOLLOW-UP
Six months later, this patient presented for a
follow-up visit with entering acuities of 20/30
O.U.
The assessment included type II DM,
moderate NPDR and minimal CSME O.U.
The retinal practitioner at that time believed
the CSME O.S. was resolving and we schedul
ed the patient for a four-month follow-up visit
.
DISCUSSION
Why this patient had such a dramatic change in
vision comes to any practitioner's mind?
This case illustrates why you must conduct an
objective analysis of a patient's underlying medi
cal condition.
Careful review of the medical history in this
case revealed several important pieces of infor
mation.
The most relevant is his glucose control over
the past several years.
Further analysis of the patient's primary care
practitioner's notes revealed consistently poor d
ietary compliance over several years.
Collected data on this patient's serum glucose levels, as well as his Hemoglobin A1c counts,
show extremely high levels show poor prognosis for retinal health.
DISCUSSION
A patient is considered a suspect for diabetes
when fasting serum glucose levels reach between
100 and 140mg/dl. The diagnosis is likely when th
at number is over 140mg/dl. Further, the hemoglo
bin A1c count is also utilized. If elevated above 7.
0, a positive diagnosis is likely.
Both were extremely elevated in this patient over
several years. When you take into account this
new information, discussion of ocular treatment o
ptions becomes moot because the disease is alrea
dy out of control.
In cases such as this, despite our best efforts, it's
only a matter of time before vision is permanently
damaged, if not lost.
CASE 2: A 28-YEAR-OLD
MAN WITH DIABETIC
RETINOPATHY
BACKGROUND
A 28-year-old male with a history of type 1
diabetes mellitus presented with partial
vision loss in both eyes.
The problem has persisted for several
months and has begun to interfere with his d
aily functioning.
He is anxious to hear his prognosis
MEDICAL HISTORY
The patient was diagnosed with type 1
diabetes mellitus at the age of 5 years.
He has no history of hypertension or
dyslipidemia.
He is taking regular insulin 20 U three times
daily and lente insulin 25 U/day.
REVIEW OF SYSTEMS
The review of systems findings shows that
the patient is otherwise healthy, with no othe
r symptoms.
He has an adequate appetite, has no
peripheral pain,and is not fatigued.
He has not experienced any recent
headaches, dizziness, fever, or chills.
He has no reported allergies and is taking no
other medications.
FAMILY HISTORY
The patient is the only child of divorced
parents.
His mother has a history of type 1 diabetes
mellitus; his father is in good health.
Family history is otherwise noncontributory.
SOCIAL HISTORY
The patient is a mathematics teacher at a
local high school.
He acts as an advisor to the high school
chess team and routinely attends his student
s competitions.
He rarely engages in physical exercise
because he has always preferred intellectual
pursuits.
He is single and has no children, but hopes to
get married someday and have a family of
his own.
He has no history of tobacco or recreational
drug use.
PHYSICALEXAMINATION
At presentation, the patient appeared to be an alert, observant,
cooperative, but slightly anxious adult male.
Physical examination indicated the following results:
His heart rate was slightly elevated over his normal rate, as shown
in his medical records; this elevation was likely caused by anxiety r
elated to his medical examination.
Cardiac rhythm was within a normal range, with no murmur
detected.
No further abnormalities were noted.
OPHTHALMIC EXAMINATION
20/80
OS 20/25.
OPHTHALMIC EXAMINATION
The fundus examination of the right eye
showed diffuse dot and blot hemorrhages wit
h few cotton wool spots and exudates in the
posterior pole.
A significant amount of diffuse macula
edema was noted.
Prior grid-pattern laser scars were noted
within the macula.
There was no evidence of neovascularization
of the disc or elsewhere.
The fundus examination of the left eye
showed normal optic disc and retinal vessels.
OPHTHALMIC EXAMINATION
There was a moderate
amount of dot
hemorrhages and
exudates temporally w
ithin the macula.
Clinically significant
macular edema was
noted temporal to the
fovea.
There was no
evidence of
neovascularization of
the disc or elsewhere.
STUDIES
COURSE OF MANAGEMENT
The patient was treated with grid-pattern photocoagulation to the right eye.
The left eye was treated with focal
photocoagulation temporally within the macula.
One month later, the vision of the left eye had i
mproved to 20/20.
However, the vision of the right eye had
decreased to 20/160 with persistent diffuse
macular edema.
The right eye was then treated with a 4-mg
intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injection.
At the 3-month postinjection follow-up visit, the
vision of the right eye had improved to 20/60.
COURSE OF MANAGEMENT
The OCT of the right eye showed a significant
decrease of retinal thickening (foveal thickness of
207 m) and resolution of the intraretinal cystoid c
hanges.
The IOP of the right eye was 33 mm Hg.
An antiglaucomatous eyedrop was started on the
right eye.
At the 5-month post-injection follow-up visit, vision
in both eyes had improved:
OD:
20/50
OS: 20/20.
