Acute macular neuroretinopathy.
Acute macular neuroretinopathy is an infrequently encountered condition in which there is a sudden mild central vision loss, photopsia and red-brown wedge-shaped lesions in the macular region with corresponding scotomata in the central visual fields. The condition may be associated with the use of oral contraceptives or with a recent febrile illness. It is self-limiting and non-recurrent. The c...
متن کاملRelationship between post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder and Anti-Thymocyte Globulin or Anti-Lymphocyte Globulin
Abstract Background: Lymphoproliferative disorders are among the most serious and potentially fatal complications of chronic immunosuppression in kidney transplant recipients. The principle risk factors for development of PTLD are the degree of overall immunosuppression and the EBV serostatus of the recipient. In this study, the risk of PTLD in kidney transplant recipients who received Anti- L...
متن کاملAnti-thymocyte globulin induced thrombocytopenia.
Anti-thymocyte globulin is strongly reactive with platelets as measured by flow cytometric analysis. This reactivity appears to be independent of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) phenotype, is dose-dependent with saturation of platelet binding sites readily achieved with concentrations of horse anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) at 0.25 mg per ml, and cannot be blocked with human anti-PLA1 antibody nor...
متن کاملTraumatic retinopathy presenting as acute macular neuroretinopathy.
AIM Traumatic retinopathy presenting as acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMNR) is an uncommon disease causing paracentral scotomas after indirect trauma. METHODS We report on five patients (six eyes) with AMNR with a temporary reduction of visual acuity and persistent paracentral scotomas after indirect trauma. The findings were documented using multimodal imaging and the follow-up was up to 3...
متن کاملQuantification of retinal layer thickness changes in acute macular neuroretinopathy
PURPOSE To quantitatively evaluate retinal layer thickness changes in acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMN). METHODS AMN areas were identified using near-infrared reflectance (NIR) images. Intraretinal layer segmentation using Heidelberg software was performed. The inbuilt ETDRS -grid was moved onto the AMN lesion and the mean retinal layer thicknesses of the central grid were recorded and com...
