Optic disc edema with aphakic cystoid maculopathy masquerading as ischemic optic neuropathy. 1985

M L Slavin, and R J Lopinto, and A S Prywes, and D A Rosen

Two patients with visual loss after cataract extraction were found to have prominent pallid optic disc edema, peripapillary hemorrhage, and cystoid maculopathy. A diagnosis of anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, with coincidental aphakic cystoid macular edema, was initially considered. The clinical course, however, favored a diagnosis of visual loss secondary to maculopathy. In both cases, fluorescein angiography disclosed leakage of fluorescein dye from macula, optic disc, and peripapillary foci. Fluorescein angiography and stereo color photographs of 51 patients with aphakic cystoid maculopathy were reviewed to determine the incidence of optic disc edema. Although optic disc swelling was rarely recognized on fundus photography, optic disc hyperfluorescence was observed in 75% of cases.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007511 Ischemia A hypoperfusion of the BLOOD through an organ or tissue caused by a PATHOLOGIC CONSTRICTION or obstruction of its BLOOD VESSELS, or an absence of BLOOD CIRCULATION. Ischemias
D008269 Macular Edema Fluid accumulation in the outer layer of the MACULA LUTEA that results from intraocular or systemic insults. It may develop in a diffuse pattern where the macula appears thickened or it may acquire the characteristic petaloid appearance referred to as cystoid macular edema. Although macular edema may be associated with various underlying conditions, it is most commonly seen following intraocular surgery, venous occlusive disease, DIABETIC RETINOPATHY, and posterior segment inflammatory disease.

D009900 Optic Nerve The 2nd cranial nerve which conveys visual information from the RETINA to the brain. The nerve carries the axons of the RETINAL GANGLION CELLS which sort at the OPTIC CHIASM and continue via the OPTIC TRACTS to the brain. The largest projection is to the lateral geniculate nuclei; other targets include the SUPERIOR COLLICULI and the SUPRACHIASMATIC NUCLEI. Though known as the second cranial nerve, it is considered part of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.

D009901 Optic Nerve Diseases Conditions which produce injury or dysfunction of the second cranial or optic nerve, which is generally considered a component of the central nervous system. Damage to optic nerve fibers may occur at or near their origin in the retina, at the optic disk, or in the nerve, optic chiasm, optic tract, or lateral geniculate nuclei. Clinical manifestations may include decreased visual acuity and contrast sensitivity, impaired color vision, and an afferent pupillary defect.

D010211 Papilledema Swelling of the OPTIC DISK, usually in association with increased intracranial pressure, characterized by hyperemia, blurring of the disk margins, microhemorrhages, blind spot enlargement, and engorgement of retinal veins. Chronic papilledema may cause OPTIC ATROPHY and visual loss.
