Ocular tuberculosis: Clinicopathologic assortment and diagnostic challenges |
Author : Priyatam Khadka* and Ranju Kharel |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Ocular tuberculosis is an exigent clinical entity—lacking a distinct clinical presentation and attributing the diagnostic conundrum. Nevertheless, the early-precise diagnosis with implicated anti-tubercular therapy may be sight-saving; diagnostic delays often encountered due to protean clinical presentations, the impracticability of obtaining tissue (in most case), limitation on sample volume extraction, and of wanting a sensitive diagnostic test. This article revises the current scenario of ocular tuberculosis, its clinicopathologic arrays, and diagnostic challenges for clinical management; Furthermore, advocates for compiling all such positive findings of corroborative tests in a precise diagnosis. |

Trends in MacTel treatment: A vascular or neurological disease? |

Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Idiopathic macular telangiectasia type 2 (MacTel) is known with temporal juxtafoveal retinal capillaries dilation and telangiectasia. The disease is most common in the fi fth and sixth decades [1]. Patients often report a progressive bilateral visual loss. Macular transparency, retinal crystalline deposits, distribution of brown pigmented cells adjacent abnormal blood vessels, redistribution of macular pigment and retinal atrophy in the end stages are the fi ndings that can be seen [1]. Subretinal neovascularization may occur in some patients and worsens the symptoms. Yannuzzi et al. classifi ed MacTel disease based on clinical, therapeutic, and prognostic aspects: the non-proliferative phase (stage1 to 4) and the proliferative phase (stage 5) associated with development of subretinal neovascularization, however, it does not necessarily have a step-by-step pattern and CNV may appear at any stage [2]. In the primary stages, MacTel can have an intangible course with subtle signs which makes it diffi cult to diagnose in the classic examinations. |
