Bitemporale retinale Nervenfaseratrophie und Hemianopsie bei Va Neurozytom (Farbphotographie Hinterer Pol, SD-OCT, Gesichtsfelduntersuchung, cMRI)

Gehirn und Sehstrahlung
Patient: 13 years of age, male, BCVA 0.4 at OD, 0.9 at OS. General Medical History: new onset, single episode of generalized tonic-clonic seizure , MRI showed unclear cerebral tumor. Ocular Medical History: up to the time of presentation no subjective problems with vision. Purpose: to show bitemporal and diffuse optic nerve atrophy in suspected central neurocytoma after a new onset, single episode of generalized seizure.        Methods: Colour Photography Posterior Pole, SD-OCT, Visual Field, cMRI. Findings: Colour Photography Posterior Pole: regular optic nerve head in OD and OS. SD-OCT: diffuse and temporally decreased retinal nerve fiber thickness in OD>OS Visual Field: hemianopsia at OD, complete visual field defect at OS. Cranial MRI: Coronal T1-weighted and (B) sagittal T2-weighted magnetic resonance images showing  cystic frontobasal and suprasellar lesion with intra- and extraventricular parts with increased T2-signal, no contrast media uptake and no diffusion restriction. Only slight perifocal edema. The maximal extent is 68 x 43 x 58 mm. In summary, this lesion is most likely a central neurocytoma. Discussion: Homonymous hemianopia is usually secondary to stroke, head trauma, and tumors. The characteristics of visual field defects can be helpful in lesion location. Zhang X et al. (1) described the clinical characteristics and clinical-anatomic correlations of homonymous hemianopia. He found that  causes of homonymous hemianopia included stroke (69%), trauma (13%), tumor (11%), brain surgery (2%),  and demyelination (1%). The lesions were most commonly located in the occipital lobes (45%) and the optic radiations (32.2%). Neurocytomas (2, 3) are rare central nervous system tumors in intraventricular sites, in the brain and spinal cord parenchyma. Cerebral neurocytomas are histologically low-grade tumors and radical surgery is curative. Literature: (1) Zhang X, Kedar S, Lynn MJ, Newman NJ, Biousse V.

Die retinalen Gefäße sind Frühindikatoren für systemische Mikroangiopathien, die durch Bluthochdruck oder Diabetes verursacht werden. Mittels Telemedizin kann die retinale Mikroangiopathie bestimmt werden.

Das trockene Auge ist eine der häufigsten Erkrankungen. Die Hyperosmolarität des Tränenfilms ist z.T. für die Veränderungen der Augenoberfläche und des Tränenfilms verantwortlich. Eine verminderte Tränensekretion und eine erhöhte Tränenfilmverdunstung sind mögliche Ursachen.
