Lacrimal gland herniation in Graves ophthalmopathy: a simple and useful MRI biomarker of disease activity
2019
Lacrimal gland (LG) involvement in patients with Graves ophthalmopathy (GO) has been considered as a potential cause of the associated GO symptoms and different studies demonstrated the LG involvement in patients with GO than healthy controls. The aim of this study was to evaluate LG involvement, through measurement of its herniation, using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) index, in patients with different GO activities. Thirty-two consecutive Caucasian patients affected by GO were enrolled and grouped in group A (16 with inactive GO, CAS < 3) and B (16 with active GO, CAS ≥ 3) according to their GO activity. All patients underwent clinical-endocrinological assessment, a complete ocular e…
Variazione della pressione intraoculare durante le procedure diagnostiche endoscopiche
2012
Obiettivo. Obiettivo del presente studio è stato quello di rilevare qualsiasi possibile variazione nella pressione intraoculare (PIO) in soggetti non glaucomatosi sottoposti a esami endoscopici come la gastroscopia o la colonscopia, al fine di valutare il ruolo della tensione mentale in tali cambiamenti. Metodi. La frequenza cardiaca e il tono oculare sono stati misurati prima e subito dopo le procedure endoscopiche e 30’ dopo la somministrazione di un antagonista delle benzodiazepine in 100 soggetti, 52 uomini e 48 donne, sottoposti a gastroscopia, colonscopia o entrambi gli esami nella stessa occasione. Risultati. La frequenza cardiaca è diminuita da 82,10±14,41 a 76,11±10,96 30’ dopo la …
Large diurnal variation of intraocular pressure in open angle glaucoma in subjects with type A behaviour pattern

Su un caso di sindrome di Wolfram
2011
To aim of this paper was to offer a further contribution to the knowledge af the Wolfram Syndrome within the Italian population about hypotheses of its genetic trasmission and diagnostic problems.The study comprised the genetic investigation and the clinical ophthalmological examination of all the family members. Genetic investigation of family members showed the presence of a genetic disorder,consisting in a mutation of the gene wfs1, located on the short arm of chromosome 4, and which codifies for the protein Wolfranin. The gene wfs1 presents high penetrance and expression,since the mutation is recessive, it can only be clinicallly detected when it is present in the homozygous form. It sh…

Aim.To asses effective role of thickness of superior rectus muscle in the variation of intraocular pression (IOP) in the patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy.Methods.IOP was measured in 76 eyes of 38 patients(mean age,42.4 years;range 19 to 58 years)with Graves' ophthalmopathy in primary and in upgaze position(Elevation with divergence of 23°).Results.IOP in 52 of the 76 eyes was 17.5 +/-2.12 mm Hgin primary position and 21.2 +/-2.75 mm Hg in upgaze position.In the eyes (28)with thickness of the superior rectus muscle >4.6 mm,IOP was 22.7+/-1.48 mm Hg in primary position and 27.1 +/-1.92 mm Hg in upgaze position.The difference in the values in this group is statistically significant ( the p…
Visual Field defects, type A personality,anxiety and coping style in patients with primary open angle glaucoma.
2012
Classification of glaucomatous visual field defects for different severity levels is important. The reasons for this are numerous, and include: to distinguish between healthy and diseased individuals, to have homogeneous grouping criteria when perimetry is used to define the severity of glaucoma, to adjust therapy on the basis of disease severity, to describe visual field conditions in a short and simple format, to monitor the progression of the disease, and to provide a common language for both clinical and research purposes. Many severity classification methods have been proposed, although none have had widespread use in clinical practice. Other methods, like the cumulative defect curve (…

Involvement of the visual evoked potentials in type 2 diabetes
2013
Objective :To assess the function of the optic pathway in type 2 diabetics without retinopathy (40 subjects) or with mild Non Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (40 subjects). Methods: VEPs , elicited by means of pattern-reversal stimulation, were studied in a group of 80 non-insulin-dependent diabetics . Results: In subjects suffering from diabetes for less than 10 years, with mild retinopathy or without retinopathy, the amplitude N75-P100 decreased, and this is statistically significant with stimulation at 15’. As the time from disease onset increases, VEP latency (P100) shows a greater increase with the use of small checks (15’), than with large checks (30’) and this becomes statisticall…

Azione antalgica di Hydrogel nell'orbitopatia basedowiana
2007
La terapia dell'orbitopatia,nella fase acuta,si basa oltre che sulla correzione della turba endocrinologica,sulla protezione della cornea e sull'uso dei corticosteroidi ad alto dosaggio o di farmaci immunosoppressori o, in alternativa,sulla radioterapia orbitaria.Per attenuare la sintomatologia dolorosa,frequente nella fase acuta e che può inficiare la qualità della vita,data la componente flogistica,abbiamo voluto valutare gli effetti di una terapia antalgica mediante appliocazione sulla superficie palpebrale di un gel chirurgico criogenico decongestinante ( a contenuto di estratto di ananas più acido betaglicirretico),ad oggi utilizzato con risultati soddisfacenti in soggetti sottoposti a…

Considerazioni su un caso di nistagmo familiare essenziale.
2007
A comparatively rare case of familial nystagmus is reported in a girl whose family tree was studied and the interest of which, apart from the need for greater involvement of health personnel and of school staff in campaigns for prevention of sight disturbances in infancy, was mainly related to the particular recessive trasmission bound to chromosome X with incomplete penetrance. The multiplicity of hereditary trasmission, in fact, explains the relative capricious expressivity of this pathological condition which should be born in mild in the event of genetic consultancy.

Neuroprotezione del paziente con glaucoma cronico ad angolo aperto:ruolo della Citicolina in soluzione orale
2011
Aim: To verify the efficacy of Citicoline, taken orally, in the prevention of neurological damage in patients with Chronic Open Angle Glaucoma (COA G). Methods: 30 subjects with COA G were divided into 2 groups: 18 subjects (CT group) were treated with Citicoline and 12 (PP group) were treated with placebo. Both groups underwent 3 cycles of treatment. A cycle lasted 60 days and after every cycle there was a wash-out period of 30 days. On day 0, 60, 90, 150, 180, 240 and 270 all subjects underwent an examination of the optic nerve fibres by GDx VVC and a simultaneous recording of pattern reversal VEP s and pattern ER G. Results: In both groups endocular pressure values kept steady below 21 m…

Introduction Acromegaly is hormonal disorder caused by excessive growth hormone (GH) by the pituitary gland, this results in anatomical changes in many organs and also in the eye and specially in cornea. Objective To perform a connection between the disease activity and the corneal changes Matériels et Méthodes In 28 patients with acromegaly and in 22 voluntary healthy the central corneal thickness (CCT) was measured by pachymeter. And the patients were divided in 2 groups: the first (“group A”) contains 13 cases with not controlled acromegaly; and the other one (“group B”) is related to 15 patients with controlled acromegaly Résultats Patients with acromegaly have a central corneal thickne…
