Case analysis of 25 cases of iris neovascularizationLI Xuan1,2, HUANG Yingxiang2 1. Department of Ophthalmology, Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing 100050, China; 2. Department of Fundus Disease and Eye Trauma, Eye Hospital China Academy of Chinese Medicine Sciences, Beijing 100040, ChinaAbstract:

ObjectiveTo discuss the causes and appropriate treatment for iris neovascularization following the analysis of 25 cases(28 eyes). MethodsIt was a retrospective case series study involving 25 patients(28 eyes)with iris neovascularization diagnosed between September 2014 and July 2016. All the patients underwent ophthalmic examination, and all the examination findings and treatments were recorded. The causes, correlative factors, and treatment outcomes of iris neovascularization were analyzed. ResultsOf the patients, 17(20 eyes, 71.4%)had retinal ischemic signs, including vitreous hemorrhage and retinal vascularization on fundus fluorescein angiography; 8(8 eyes, 28.6%)did not have retinal ischemic signs. After 3 months of treatment, retinal vascularization resolved in all the cases, and iris neovascularization resolved completely in 20 patients(23 eyes, 82.1%), iris neovascularization was still found in 5 patients(5 eyes, 17.9%). ConclusionsAnterior segment ischemia may also lead to iris vascularization, although retinal ischemia was the main cause. Additionally, iris neovascularization may not always resolve with treatment for retinal ischemia. Finally, anti-VEGF drug injection was an effective treatment for iris neovascularization.

[1] Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography(SD-OCT)was used to measure and observe the characteristics of the subfoveal choroidal thickness(SFCT)in patients with ocular ischemic syndrome(OIS)as well as explore the indicators for early evaluation of OIS. MethodsThis was a retrospective case-control study. Forty-eight patients(48 eyes)were included between January 2017 and January 2020. The patients were divided into two groups: the OIS and the control groups, with each consisting of 24 patients(24 eyes). Their basic information, including age, gender, body mass index(BMI), and the history of diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia, was collected. SFCT was measured using SD-OCT in EDI mode. The basic data and SFCTs of the two groups were compared. ResultsThere were no significant differences between the ages, gender, BMIs, and the prevalence of diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia of the two groups(all P>0.05). The mean SFCT of the OIS group was 204.83±27.34 μm, and that of the control group was 226.58±33.49 μm. The differences between the two groups were statistically significant(t=2.464, P=0.018). ConclusionsSFCT was thinner in patients with OIS. SFCT can be used as an indicator for early assessment of OIS..
