  1. Case Analysis I- Lecture 8 Liana Al-Labadi, O.D.

  2. If you hear hoof beats, thinkhorses—not zebras

  3. CC: Dr. I see a black curtain over my eyes

  4. “Dr. I See All Black” • Frequency: Constantly (all the time, everyday) @ D&N • Onset: Suddenly10 days ago, but has noticed it more over the past 2 days • Location: Both eyes • Duration: Lasts for a short time but I feel it’s there all the time • Associated Factors: • Blurry vision • A lot of headaches • Relief: • Headaches get better with parcetamol but I still see a black curtain • Severity: • The blacking out is pretty bad, I just can’t stand it anymore. The headaches are there all the time.

  17. DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS????

  18. “Dr. I See All Black”

  19. “Dr. I See All Black” • Papilledema • Retinal Vein Occlusion • Optic Neuritis/Papillitis • Ischemic Optic Neuropathy • Compressive Optic Neuropathy • Infiltrative Optic Neuropathy • Systemic etiology: • Sarcoid • Leukemia

  20. FINAL DIAGNOSIS????

  21. “Dr. I See All Black” • Assessment: • Bilateral optic never disc edema • Unknown etiology • Sx of TVO + Headaches + DIPL • Plan: • Pt education on condition • Refer for CT scan • Refer patient for neurological work-up • Pt education on importance of follow-up with neurology appointment

  22. “Dr. I See All Black” • F/U Visit: • Patient was told it was “benign” • Began oral medications

  23. FINAL DIAGNOSIS????

  24. “Dr. I See All Black” • Assessment: • Bilateral Papilledema • Plan: • RTC in 2 months for DFE + Visual Field

  25. Papilledema-Definition • Optic disc swelling produced by increased intracranial pressure

  26. Papilledema-Symptoms • Symptoms: • Episodes of transient, often bilateral visual loss • Lasting seconds • Symptoms precipitated after rising from a lying or sitting position (altering intracranial pressure) • Headache • Double vision • Nausea • Vomiting • Tinnitis • Decrease in visual acuity (rare) • Mild decrease in VA can occur in an acute setting if there is macular disturbance • Visual field defects & severe loss of central vision • Occur only with chronic papilledema

  27. Papilledema-Signs • Critical Signs: • Bilaterally swollen, hyperemic discs • Early papilledema- disc swelling may be asymmetric • NFL edema causing blurring of the disc margin and often obscuring the blood vessels • Other Signs: • Papillary pr peripapillary retinal hemorrhages • Loss of venous pulsation • 20% of the normal population do not have venous pulsation • Dilated, tortuous retinal veins • Normal pupillary response • Normal color vision • Enlarged blind spot

  28. Papilledema-Signs • Signs of chronic papilledema: • Any hemorrhages or cotton-wool spots resolve • Disc hyperemia disappears • The disc becomes gray in color • Narrowing of the peripapillary retinal vessels • Optociliary shunt vessels may develop on the disc • Loss of color vision, VA, VF defects (especially inferionasally) may also occur

  29. “Dr. I See All Black”

  30. “Dr. I See All Black”- DD • Other Differential Diagnosis: • Pseudopapilledema • Not true disc swelling • Vessels overlying the disc are not obscured • The disc is not hyperemic • The surrounding NFL is normal • Spontaneous venous pulsation is often present • Secondary to optic disc drusen or congenitally anomalous disc • Hypertensive optic neuropathy • Optic nerve disc swelling caused by extremely high blood pressure • Narrowed arterioles • A/V crossing changes • Heme with or with out CWS in the peripheral retina and posterior pole

  31. “Dr. I See All Black”- DD • Other Differential Diagnosis: • Orbital optic nerve tumors: • Unilateral disc swelling • May have proptosis • Amiodarone toxicity • Patient present with acute visual loss and disc edema • Diabetic papillopathy: • Benign disc edema in one or both eyes of a diabetic patient • Telagectasia of BVs and NV of the disc may occur • Thyroid-related optic neuropathy:

  32. “Dr. I See All Black”- Etiology • Primary & metastatic intracranial tumora • Hydrocephalus • Pseudotumor cerebri (PTC) • Subdural & epidural hematomas • Subarachnoid hemorrhage • These patients have severe headaches • Arteriovenous malformation • Brain abscess- often produces high fever • Meningitis • Fever, stiff neck, headache • Encephalitis • Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis

  33. “Dr. I See All Black”- Work-Up • History & physical examination • Including blood pressure measurement • Ocular examination • Pupils, color vision, DFE, VF • Emergency MRI with MRV (magnetic resonance venography) of the head • CT scan may be done if MRI is not available emergently • Lumbar puncture with CSF analysis and opening pressure measurement • Done if MRI/MRV or CT scan results are normal

  34. “Dr. I See All Black”- Treament • Treatment • Directed at the underlying cause of the increased intracranial pressure
