Retinovascular disorders is going to be the topic of this lecture

and by retinovascular disorders I'm referring to the central retinal artery occlusion

and the central retinal vein occlusion

so you have a central retinal artery the retinal artery is

is the first artery off of the internal carotid artery in most people

and that's going to branch into several branches smaller branches

that then go off to different parts of the retina now

if the entire retinal artery is blocked before it gives off tributaries branches then it's considered a central retinal artery occlusion.

If it's just a branch that's blocked, that can cause symptoms, but that would be considered just a branch retinal artery occlusion.

And it works the same way with the veins.

If the main vein that's leaving the eye is blocked, then it's a central retinal vein occlusion.

If it's just a tributary of that vein, then it's a branch retinal vein occlusion.

So hopefully that makes sense.

Okay, so the central retinal artery occlusion is an occlusion of the retinal artery, is mentioned.

It's the first artery coming off of the internal carotid

and it presents as a sudden profound monocular loss of vision without pain or redness.

So this is just like having a stroke to the eye.

And about one to two percent of patients will present with bilateral CRAO, but that's pretty unusual.

The incidence is one in 10 ,000 and the average age of onset is in the 60s.

So this is a disease of the elderly.

However, if you do see this in somebody who's in their 30s or 40s, you should be highly suspicious of something like a thrombophilia.

In many cases, the patient will have a history of giant cell arteritis, whether that's diagnosed or not diagnosed.

That's also called temporal arteritis.

And this is a big risk factor for central retinal artery occlusion

so that branch retinal artery occlusion as was mentioned I'm not going to spend a whole slide talking about it

but this is just a similar process due to similar causes

but it's a smaller clot and it affects a downstream vessel

and so it doesn't affect as much of the retina as a central retinal artery occlusion

so this is much further downstream and

so it affects a smaller part of the retina

and the symptoms will be similar

but it will only affect the part of the visual field that that obstructive segment supplied

okay so what are the risk factors hypercholesterolemia of course that's a risk factor for clotting obesity

Obesity, advanced age, diabetes mellitus, and all of these three things,

maybe not hypercholesterolemia, but obesity and advanced age, those certainly play into diabetes mellitus.

But just having diabetes mellitus by itself, even if you're not obese and you're not advanced age, that is a risk factor too

and then temporal arteritis is a big risk factor for artery occlusion

and so what is temporal arteritis again I address this in a different lecture in the medical section

but temporal arteritis happens to people 55 years of age

or older it involves a headache scalp tenderness and thickening

or tenderness of the superficial temporal artery you should be able to feel pulse over

that artery and it's right over the temple

if you feel your own superficial temporal artery you feel your temple you should be able to palpate

that artery patients with temporal arteritis they usually have this this inflamed firm cord

and you can't feel the pulse because the artery is

so inflamed so what does this lead to especially the hypercholesterolemia the obesity the diabetes

and the fact of being old those all can lead to

or increase your risk of carotid artery stenosis and of atrial fibrillation

because of small undetected heart attacks and those things carotid artery stenosis

because you're gathering plaque and atrial fibrillation because you can develop a clot

because of a lack of a lack of appropriate contraction both of those things you can develop a clot

or release a clot or release a plaque and

that can be the embolus that's needed that can go in to the into the retinal artery

and so this is how central retinal artery occlusion and

if it's a smaller plaque

or a smaller clot that's how a branch retinal artery occlusion can happen other risk factors include

congenital or acquired thrombophilia you can acquire thrombophilia by taking birth control pills

and so those would be something you would look for in younger patients who don't have these risk factors.

And there's other risk factors in addition to these, but these are some of the most common that you'll see.

So as mentioned, this is painless, sudden, and often this is a profound loss of vision.

98 to 99 % are monocular.

The symptoms are sudden loss of vision.

Acuity is typically worse than 2200, which is the cutoff point for being legally blind

and a lot of times they won't even be able to tell you how many fingers

you're putting up in front of their face even

if you get really close there may be some preservation in the temporal field I'm assuming that's

because there may be some additional there may be some additional circulation coming from somewhere else

but I'm not exactly sure but the literature does say

that there may be some preservation in temporal fields and

that is certainly the case

so some of the things you're going to want to know from the patient

or at least know on the question

that's going to help you with the diagnosis is how long have the symptoms been present usually

when somebody loses their vision they're going to get to the er as quickly as possible

you also want to know

if they have any past medical history of ocular problems you'll want to know if the patient has a high cholesterol,

if you ask the patient that or if you look in their charts, do they have a history of diabetes?

Certainly both of those would increase the risk of this being a central retinal artery occlusion.

And do they have any history of stroke or TIA?

That would lead you to believe that perhaps there's a carotid artery stenosis

and that's a big contributor to retinal artery occlusion

now I just want to right now differentiate central retinal artery occlusion from something else

which is called amaurosis fugax and with amaurosis fugax you get a temporary loss of vision

that usually lasts a few minutes

and then your vision comes back with central retinal artery occlusion you have a loss of vision

and it stays at least until you get treated on On physical examination,

you want to document their visual fields and then get their visual acuity, even though it's probably going to be 2200 or worse,

just to compare it to baseline and document it on the records.

Look for signs of temporal arteritis, especially in older patients, because that contributes, that strengthens your diagnosis.

You should also check their pupils for an afferent pupillary defect or the Marcus Gunn pupil.

Ocultate for a carotid brui, and then ocultate the heart for murmurs, and especially an irregular beat, which can be consistent with atrial fibrillation.

For diagnosis, you'll want to get routine labs,

and that's great, but all patients with acute loss of vision should be referred to ophthalmology for a formal ophthalmoscopy,

highlighting the fact here that CRAO, as in a lot of cases of vision loss,

cannot be diagnosed with a simple handheld ophthalmoscope.

You'll need to do a dilated exam and have the optometrist use their equipment.

So findings consistent on indirect ophthalmoscopy, consistent with CRAO, includes retinal pallor, which makes sense because it's not getting enough blood,

a prominent cherry red macula, and that is actually because the fovea,

the macula, gets its vascularization elsewhere from the choriocapularis.

100

And then attenuated arteries may be present, as well as a boxcar appearance of veins.

101

But what you're really going to notice is the retinal pallor and the prominent cherry red macula.

102

So here's a normal posterior pole.

103

Here's your optic disc and in the center here is your macula.

104

Now the macula is red but it's a lot different in comparison than when we see the retinal artery occlusion.

105

So here's an example of a central retinal artery occlusion and as you can see there's pallor here.

106

This is much more pale.

107

Now, every ophthalmoscope uses slightly different lighting,

108

but you can see that there's a much more contrast between the macula and the rest of the retina,

109

whereas here, the macula and the retina weren't as contrasted.

110

You also see that you don't have a whole lot of vasculature around the macula,

111

whereas on a normal visualization, you do have vasculature around the macula.

112

So here's another one, again the macula is much more prominent, that cherry red macula.

113

See the same here too.

114

So this is a branch retinal artery occlusion.

115

So you can see that it's normal on the top here, but it's abnormal on the bottom.

116

If the rest of the retina was like this on the bottom, then you'd have a central retinal artery occlusion you'd be able

117

to see this macula very distinguished from the rest of the retina

118

but it's only distinguished from this retina here on the bottom

119

which is the diseased retina that's not getting enough blood

120

and then here's another one here above the above the macula

121

so the treatment the patient is going to need admission through

122

ophthalmology the treatment is going to be under the guidance of an ophthalmologist.

123

So I don't expect ever you'll be required to know how to do this

124

or exactly how to treat them in the ER or as an internist or even as a surgeon.

125

But you do need to know that they need to be admitted and it's worth knowing some of the things that

126

ophthalmologists use.

127

So presently there's controversy in the exact management for patients with CRAO, but most ophthalmologists agree with some basic principles.

128

So high concentration inhaled 100 % oxygen, that's something you can start in the ER.

129

So that's something you should know.

130

IV acetazolamide, IV corticosteroids, those are done,

131

the IV corticosteroids are done to reduce the inflammation and

132

that is expected to help with with maintaining vision reducing the inflammation

133

and then treatment of the underlying cause as the internist this is going to be your concern finding

134

and treating the underlying cause right some ophthalmologists use intra arterial thrombolytics

135

and they inject those thrombolytics into the retinal artery system that's not universal

136

but this has been shown to be effective by the EGLE study

137

so you can look look up more on that if you want

138

but high high concentration inhaled oxygen acetazolamide corticosteroids

139

and treatment of the underlying cause

140

so upon diagnosis it's going to be your responsibility to work

141

the patient up for underlying causes these don't just happen on their own

142

so the patient will have something wrong with them

143

that put them at predisposition all patients regardless of their age should get a carotid artery duplex ultrasound

144

they should get an echocardiogram to look for atrial fibrillation

145

or any other kind of abnormality valvular abnormalities that can gather clots

146

and then and then release them they should get an EKG routine labs that's usually done anyway

147

when you're first investigating the patient an ESR is useful

148

and that's kind of to look more towards the temporal arteritis

149

that would be elevated a fasting blood glucose is useful to work them up for diabetes

150

if they haven't been diagnosed with diabetes and then coagulation studies younger patients

151

or older patients who have normal results after this workup should get a workup for any kind of congenital

152

or acquired thrombophilia so factor V Leiden antithrombin 3 deficiency protein C deficiency protein S deficiency

153

and so forth oh and then elevated homocysteine

154

that was another one I wanted to add to and that's another congenital thing older

155

Older patients should follow up regularly, patients with CRAO have a 56 % mortality rate within 9 years

156

and that's compared to 27 % in aged match patients who have never had CRAO.

157

So that's a big deal when you think about it.

158

Somebody who's older and has the same,

159

let's say you've got two twins and one twin develops a CRAO and the other twin doesn't,

160

That twin that developed the CRAO is two times more likely to die within the next nine years.

161

And that shows that it's likely due to the fact that there's some level of increased thrombosis.

162

The plaque is not stabilized but it's important to remember that patients who have CRAO,

163

really what this was, was a stroke that just happened to go the right way.

164

Rather than go up to the brain, it went to the retinal artery.

165

And so rather than having a debilitating or deadly stroke, you just got your eye taken out.

166

And I mean, neither of those are good, but this is the same pathologic process that causes a stroke.

167

So it's important that patients are aware that they are at imminent risk of stroke and that you take interventions as necessary,

168

as if the patient had had a stroke.

169

Okay, so central retinal vein occlusion is occlusion of the retinal vein.

170

And this presents a little bit differently.

171

So initially, the patient will present with sudden monocular loss of vision without pain or redness,

172

but it's usually not as severe as the central retinal artery occlusion.

173

But this is a more progressive disease, and the vision will worsen with time.

174

And eventually, pain erythema and watering can develop.

175

So this is less severe usually when it presents, but with time, when it's diagnosed with time, if it's not treated, it gets worse.

176

The symptoms have a tendency to be noticed on wakening.

177

I'm not sure why.

178

The lifetime incidence is 2 to 5 per 1000

179

and 90 % of cases are seen over the age of 50

180

so again this has a preponderance in the elderly and there's a slight male preponderance.

181

The equivalent branch retinal vein occlusion is a similar process

182

but it affects a downstream vein and

183

so it does not affect as much of the retina

184

and the ophthalmoscopic findings will be localized so

185

when we look at what the ophthalmoscopic findings of central retinal

186

vein occlusion are you're only going to find them in one part of the retina with the BRVOs.

187

BRVOs are thought to be most commonly caused by a mechanical compression on the branch vein by an artery

188

but there are other possible causes systemic hypertension is considered the most significant major risk factor in BRVOs.

189

So back on the CRVOs they're very similar as far as risk factors go

190

but other risk factors with CRVO can include primary glaucoma probably because of the elevated pressure,

191

alcohol consumption, head trauma, and excessive physical activity.

192

Symptoms include as mentioned progressive visual impairment.

193

The natural progression includes worsening of vision to the point of blindness, pain, photophobia, redness, and eye watering.

194

All suspected cases of loss of vision, as mentioned, should be referred to an ophthalmologist for formal indirect ophthalmoscopy.

195

And the findings on ophthalmoscopy depend on how progressed the CRVO is.

196

So typically with CRVO, we see a certain degree of optic disc swelling there's going to be a certain amount of hemorrhages

197

and you may see some tortuous veins

198

but as it progresses you're going to see a more swelled optic disc you're going to see more

199

and more and larger hemorrhages

200

and a lot of times the hemorrhages get in the way to where you can't see the veins even

201

if they are tortuous so i'll show you some examples

202

further tests to evaluate the CRVO include fluorescein angiography

203

when to do this test is at the discretion of the ophthalmologist

204

so here is a case of what would be considered early CRVO

205

so the you can see there's some hemorrhaging here on these early veins

206

and then you also have this tortuosity this would be probably a little bit later

207

so you've got more hemorrhages here and this is much later too

208

because the hemorrhages are much further out okay

209

so this is a branch retinal vein occlusion so you can see here

210

that the veins and arteries are normal but here you have this localized area of hemorrhage

211

So this was found to be a branch retinal vein occlusion.

212

Here's another one.

213

Now just looking at the results of an ophthalmoscope, it isn't going to tell you what the disease is.

214

You always have to include it in the clinical picture of the patient.

215

Any radiologist would tell you that.

216

But with a patient with consistent symptoms, this is certainly a branch retinal vein occlusion, as is this.

217

So patients with central retinal vein occlusions should be worked up for diabetes, hyperlipidemia.

218

So both of those are easy.

219

You can get them in the morning, get a fasting blood glucose level, get a lipid panel.

220

They should also be worked up for thrombophilia markers such as factor V Leiden, protein C, etc. and then be worked up for an elevated homocysteine.

221

For treatment, unfortunately there is no available effective medical treatment for CRVO.

222

Various treatment modalities are under investigation, however, and they may be performed by the ophthalmologist.

223

Some patients can get enrolled in studies, but you won't be responsible for knowing any of this on the USMLE

224

but some of those modalities include intravitreal administration of anti -VEGF inhibitors

225

so remember that VEGF is a protein that stimulates angiogenesis and

226

so this will reduce the development of more arteries

227

which is the classic response

228

when there's ischemia there's also intravitreal administration of corticosteroids to reduce some of the inflammation

229

that invariably happens with this the use of locally injected tpa and then plasmapheresis

230

complications include neovascular glaucoma panretinal photocoagulation can be performed either prophylactically in crvo

231

or as soon as there's signs of neovascularization

232

and macular edema is another complication for that laser photocoagulation can be effective but only if it's due from BRVO.

233

It has not been shown to be effective in CRVO.

234

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
