Neuro-Ophthalmology: 4. Classification and Management of Patients with Decreased Vision Flashcards
hemeralopia
term for day blindness
photophobia, hemeralopia
common symptoms in cone dystrophy
1, 2
decades in which cone dystrophies usually arise
loss of foveal reflex, granular macular pigmentation
early fundus features (two) in cone dystrophy
bulls-eye pattern of macular RPE depigmentation
late fundus feature in cone dystrophies
RPE clumping and depigmentation
early fundus sign of AMD
OCT
most useful test for establishing a diagnosis of cystoid macular edema
hyperopic shift
useful sign in diagnosing central serous chorioretinopathy that relates to the optical aberration introduced in the system
vitreoretinal traction
process behind macular hole formation
CRAO
diagnosis that should be considered in a patient with severe acute visual loss, RAPD, attenuation of retinal arterioles but otherwise normal appearance should raise the possibility of this diagnosis
RAPD
in a case of CRVO, the presence of this diagnostic feature points to likely ischemic categorization even before FA
orbital mass
what cause of secondary CRVO should be ruled out in a patient who presents with a RAPD
women under 30
demographic of multiple evanescent white dot syndrome
photopsias
positive symptom seen in MEWDS and AZOOR
enlarged blind spot, cecocentral scotoma, diffuse depression
three types of visual field defects in MEWDS
depressed a-waves
ERG finding in MEWDS
acute zonal occult outer retinopathy
condition seen in young women characterized by acute loss of peripheral vision and development of peripheral chorioretinal atrophy and pigment clumping
small cell carcinoma of the lung
type of cancer most often implicated in cancer-associated retinopathy
recoverin
calcium-binding photoreceptor protein, originally identified as the CAR antigen, that is targeted by autoantibodies in cancer-associated retinopathy
poor
prognosis for vision in CAR
rods
melanoma-associated retinopathy predominantly affects…
AIBSE, MEWDS
two retinal disorders that are easily confused with optic neuropathies for the presence of particular scotomas and the occasional presence of an RAPD
1 kg
cumulative dose above which hydroxychloroquine retinopathy becomes a major risk
automated white 10-2 threshold perimetry
in addition to DFE, this test is mandated within the first year and then annually after five years of treatment with hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine
spectral domain OCT, multifocal ERG, FAF
one of these three test must be ordered in screening patients with (hydroxy)chloroquine retinopathy
multifocal
type of ERG that should be ordered in a patient with suspected cone dystrophy
constant photopsias
major positive symptom in CAR
both
CAR involves degeneration of rods, cones, or both
true
TRUE or FALSE: Treatment of the underlying tumor has no proven effect in ameliorating CAR
steroids, plasmapheresis, IVIG
three treatments that may be tried in CAR
