Atopic Cataract

Atopic Cataract Syndrome

Two cases involving retinal detachment caused by breaks in the pars plicata of the ciliary body are presented. In both, retinal detachment developed following surgery for atopic cataract. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

We discuss in detail about the presentation, clinical features, and surgical management of these patients presenting with RD, cataracts and related clinical problems secondary to severe AD. [nature.com]

Case presentation We report two cases of children with AD who developed posterior sub-capsular cataracts. [jmedicalcasereports.biomedcentral.com]

  • Facial Skin Lesion

    Indeed, the presence of facial skin lesions in AD correlates with progression of the cataract [ 3 ]. An alternative hypothesis suggests that the cataract is secondary to compromise of the blood-aqueous barrier. [jmedicalcasereports.biomedcentral.com]

    In a study of 41 patients, Nagaki et al. (20) showed that cataract progression was statistically significantly related to facial skin lesions. [medicaljournals.se]

  • Macula

    He developed a macula off, temporal retinal detachment in his right eye due to a GRT, extending 180 degrees. PPV, cryopexy, and gas tamponade was performed and vision recovered to 6/12. [nature.com]

    Swelling or edema of the central part of the retina, called macula, resulting in macular edema, can occur a few days or weeks after surgery. Most such cases can be successfully treated. [en.wikipedia.org]

  • Thickened Eyelids

    Retinal examination can be difficult due to corneal problems, thickened eyelids making indentation tough and also cataract may obscure the retinal details. [nature.com]

    – Eyelid margin thickening: Eyelid margins may be thickened, oedematous and hyperaemic. – Dennie-Morgan lines: Eyelid oedema may lead to Dennie-Morgan lines, single or double creases in the lower eyelid, secondary to chronic eye rubbing. – Lateral canthal [aimu.us]

  • Corneal Opacity

    Approximately 25% of female carriers have minor corneal opacities. The corneal opacities are not known to affect visual acuity. An example of findings in X-linked ichthyosis is shown in the image below. [emedicine.medscape.com]

  • Suggestibility

    This case seems to suggest that prompt control of severe dermatitis on the face in patients with atopic dermatitis is important for prevention of atopic cataract, whether the dermatitis on the face is atopic or nonatopic in nature. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Inadequate treatment of atopic dermatitis may lead to other ocular complications such as keratitis and permanent visual loss. [jmedicalcasereports.biomedcentral.com]

Treatment. The only known effective treatment for cataract is surgical removal of the lens (lens extraction or cataract extraction). The procedure of choice was formerly intracapsular extraction, with total removal of the lens within its capsule. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

Only an estimated 10% of patients older than 20 years continue to be symptomatic. [5] Prognosis The prognosis is good if the inflammation can be kept under control with therapy. [emedicine.medscape.com]

– Visual prognosis: Visual prognosis is worse for AKC. – Peri-orbital skin and eyelid: There is increased peri-orbital and eyelid skin involvement in AKC as compared to VKC which generally spare skin. – Papillae: AKC usually presents with micro-papillae [aimu.us]

What is the prognosis of cataracts? The rate of progression of cataracts is usually predictable and surgery is successful in restoring vision in a large majority of cases. [medicinenet.com]

It can rarely deteriorate to symptomatic keratoconjunctivitis that may have a poor prognosis. Statistical methods Continuous variables were expressed as mean and standard deviation. Categorical variables were expressed as percentages. [medicaljournals.se]

Prognosis [ 2, 15 ] Adults Age-related cataracts are progressive and the progression is variable and unpredictable. Without treatment, most people with a cataract will develop severe visual impairment. [patient.info]

The etiology, and therefore the basic pathophysiology, of childhood cataract varies widely; in many children, the etiology may not be determined. [aao.org]

In fact, the etiology of allergic cataract has not been fully elucidated until recently. 2,6 We now know that the allergic process itself causes the cataract, with allergy as the probable initiating factor. [crstodayeurope.com]

Despite much current research interest, the pathophysiology of these disorders and their optimum treatment remain uncertain. [books.google.com]

Conclusions: : Our results suggested that PAI-1 and TGF-β1 synergistically play some roles for the pathophysiology of atopic cataracts. [iovs.arvojournals.org]
