SURGICAL ASPECTS OF ULTRASOUND TRABECULECTOMY FOR THE TREATMENT OF CONGENITAL GLAUCOMA IN CHILDREN

Arestov D.O.

Abstract

We have developed and patented the ultrasound modification of trabeculectomy adapted to specific features of eyes in children with congenital glaucoma. The method is based on the application of the UZKh-F-9102-OF MEDEL apparatus for ultrasound microsurgery (Russia) operated at a frequency of 44 kHz. Taken together, unique characteristics of this instrument , such as the light weight, virtually bloodless incision with simultaneous non-thermal coagulation of the wound edges, antibacterial and antiproliferative action, make it possible to ensure the favourable conditions for the formation of the permanent filtering bleb during the postoperative period. Peculiarities of surgical strategy for ultrasound trabeculectomy are described and substantiated based on the experience gained during 37 surgical interventions in children with congenital glaucoma.

Katargina L.A., Denisova E.V., Starikova A.V., Gvozdyuk N.A., Lyubimova N.V.

Abstract

The study of peculiarities of the course and results of the treatment of uveitis in Behcet's disease in 4 children and the analysis of literature were conducted. Rare manifestation of Behcet's disease in childhood and differences of clinical implications in children and adults were observed, causing difficulties in making timely diagnosis. More severe course of uveitis in Behcet's disease was observed in children than in adults, resulting in the rapid development of wide range of complications in the absence of adequate therapy. The necessity of early and active anti-inflammatory treatment of uveitis in Behcet's disease was proved; the efficacy of TNF-α inhibitors in refractory uveitis was established. It was demonstrated that early diagnosis and effective treatment can prevent serious complications and preserve good vision in majority of children.

PECULIARITIES OF SURGICAL TECHNIQUE IN SECONDARY IOL IMPLANTATION IN CHILDREN WITH CONGENITAL CATARACTS

Kruglova T.B., Egiyan N.S., Kononov L.B.

Abstract

This research was designed to analyze results of the secondary implantation of intraocular lenses into the posterior chamber of the eye in 42 children (56 eyes) following the early surgical intervention (between 2 and 10 months of life) for the treatment of congenital cataract. It was proved that in the majority of cases (76.8%) reconstructive procedures involving cutting of the irido-capsular adhesion are necessary during the implantation in children with aphakia. However, the intracapsular implantation of the intraocular lenses was possible only in 23.3% of children. In majority of patients intraocular lenses were fixed in the irido-ciliary groove.

ULTRASOUND BIOMICROSCOPY IN THE DIAGNOSTICS OF CONGENITAL CORNEAL OPACITIES IN CHILDREN

Pleskova A.V., Katargina L.A., Mazanova E.V.

Abstract

The objective of this study was to estimate the diagnostic potential of the highly informative and objective method for visualizing and obtaining images of the structures of the anterior chamber of the eye with the use of ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) for the detection of morphological changes in eyes of 47 children with various forms of congenital corneal opacities. Proposed method allowed to examine children of different ages even under anesthesia. Results of the study provided the objective UBM criteria for anatomical changes in eyes associated with congenital corneal opacities and thereby made it possible to determine the extent of the necessary surgical intervention, estimate the degree of risk of the development of glaucoma and choose adequate postoperative therapy.

STATIC STREAK SKIASCOPY (RETINOSCOPY) UNDER NATURAL CONDITIONS AND IN CYCLOPLEGIA

Proskurina O.V.

Abstract

This study was designed to estimate the accuracy of results obtained by static streak skiascopy. It included 58 children at the age from 5 to 18 years with refraction studied under natural conditions and 79 children at the age varying from 1 to 18 years with refraction evaluated within 3 days after atropinization. The results of static streak skiascopy were compared with the data obtained by skiascopy performed using a plane mirror or by a subjective study and autorefractometry. It was shown that the results of the measurement of sphere equivalent refraction under natural conditions and by static streak skiascopy were comparable with those obtained by other methods. Static streak skiascopy under natural conditions was shown to overestimate the degree of astigmatism by 0.55±0.6 dptr compared with subjective correction, the difference along the axis amounted to 3.23±0.59°. Static streak skiascopy under natural conditions and autorefractometry yielded comparable results. In the patients with cycloplegia static streak skiascopy revealed a 0.41±0.5 dptr higher degree of astigmatism than skiascopy with a plane mirror, the difference along the axis was 10-35°. This data was comparable with the results of subjective correction and autorefractometry. It is concluded that static streak skiascopy should be used either instead of skiascopy with a plane mirror or in the cases when autorefractometry is impracticable.

Sajdasheva E.I., Dautova Z.A., Mitrofanova N.V., Lyola D.V.

Abstract

This paper is designed to report the results of the application of Vitrum Vision Forte (Unipharm Inv., USA) for the treatment of 28 children (56 eyes) at the age from 12 to18 years with mild (n = 15) and moderate (n = 13) myopia (groups 1 and 2 respectively). The treatment enhanced non-corrected distant visual acuity in the patients of group 1 by 17.2% on the average compared with its initial level. Simultaneously, accommodation capacity improved. The absolute accommodation amplitude increased by 2.35 dptr (23.8%) in group 1 and by 1.5 dptr (18.0%) in group 2. The relative accommodation amplitude increased by 1 dptr (15.0%) in children with mild myopia and by 0.9 dptr (13%) in patients with moderate myopia. In both groups results of electrophysiological studies significantly improved. It is concluded that Vitrum Vision Forte can be recommended for a wide application for the treatment of myopia of different degrees in teenagers.

VARIATIONS OF THE ACCOMMODATION PARAMETERS AND HEMODYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS IN THE BLOOD VESSELS OF THE EYE DURING THE INSTRUMENTAL TREATMENT OF MYOPIA

Tarutta E.P., Kiseleva T.N., Tarasova N.A., Epishina M.V.

Abstract

The present study enrolled 30 children at the age from 8 to 18 (mean 11.03±0.41) years suffering from myopia of different degree. All the patients were given the functional treatment including trans-scleral laser stimulation of the ciliary body with the use of the MAKDEL 09 apparatus, opticoreflective training on the Viziotronikophthalmomyorelaxator, and magnetophoresis of a 4% taufon solution using the Polyus-3 apparatus. Accommodation was evaluated by both subjective (reserve of frelative and amplitude of absolute accommodation) and objective (accommodation response, habitual accommodation tension, open-fieldhabitual accommodation tension, resting accommodation tension) methods.Hemodynamic characteristics in the blood vessels of the eye were obtained by the duplex scanning technique in the color Doppler mapping and pulsed dopplerography regimes. The proposed treatment modality resulted in the enhancement of visual acuity with habitual subcorrection, accommodation reserve and amplitude. The objective accommodation response increased in a smaller degree while the resting accommodation tension decreased. Maximum systolic blood flow velocity in the posterior ciliary arteries and ophthalmic artery significantly increased to the same extent as the end diastolic velocity in the central retinal artery and thecentral retinal vein. Simultaneously, the resistance index in the posterior ciliary arteries decreased in comparison with its initial value which may suggest the improvement of regional circulation in the eyes.

PRION DISEASE. OPHTHALMIC SYMPTOMS (A LECTURE)

Shnayder N.A., Guseva M.R.

Abstract

The prion diseases are a large group of related neurodegenerative conditions, which affect both animals and people. They include Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker, fatal familial insomnia, kuru in humans; bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or mad cow disease, in cattle; and scrapie in sheep etc. All these diseases have long incubation periods, but they are typically rapidly progressive once clinical symptoms begin. All prion diseases have common early manifested ophthalmic symptoms. All prion diseases are fatal, with currently no effective form of treatment. However, increased understanding of their pathogenesis has recently led to the promise of effective prevalence and therapeutic interventions in the near future.
