- OCT-A Biomarker Analysis of Retinal Vein Occlusion Using a Deep Neural Network https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1155/joph/9919113 Purpose: To develop a deep learning (DL) model for the automatic detection of retinal vein occlusion (RVO) biomarkers in optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) images using retrospective data.Methods: OCT-A images from 254 patients were used to train and test an artificial intelligence (AI) model. Scans of the superficial, deep, en face, choriocapillaris, and outer retina to choriocapillaris (ORCC) layers were manually annotated with four biomarkers: perifoveal capillary plexus disruption, nonperfusion areas (NPAs), vascular tortuosity, and cystoid spaces. Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) were trained to segment and identify these biomarkers. The detection rate and Jaccard index were the primary outcome measures.Results: The DL model achieved detection rates of 93% for perifoveal capillary plexus disruption, 92% for NPAs, 91% for vascular tortuosity, and 84% for cystoid spaces. The corresponding Jaccard index values were 0.85, 0.77, 0.72, and 0.73, respectively.Conclusion: The proposed DL model achieves outstanding performance in identifying key biomarkers of RVO in OCT-A images, supporting its potential role in automated disease assessment.

- Impact of eyelid hygiene on conjunctival microbial species and ocular discharge in patients with ocular prostheses
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41706602/ Purpose: To evaluate the impact of eyelid hygiene on conjunctival microbial species and ocular discharge in patients with ocular prostheses(OP).Methods: A prospective study included patients with unilateral anophthalmic sockets or phthisis bulbi using OP. Two visits were scheduled: baseline and 7 days later. At each visit, three samples were collected: lower tarsal conjunctiva of the affected eye, bulbar conjunctiva of the affected eye, and lower tarsal conjunctiva of the healthy eye. Patients followed one of two hygiene regimens: Ozonest® group (wipes and liposomal-ozonated-oil drops) or Lephanet® group (wipes and saline solution). Demographic data, clinically significant discharge(CSD), and eyelid cleaning habits were recorded. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05.Results: Sixty-one patients (mean age 63.7 ± 15.5 years, 54.1% male) contributed 366 samples. 31 (50.8%) were in Ozonest and 30(49.2%) in Lephanet. Staphylococcus epidermidis (39%) and Corynebacterium macginleyi (24.6%) were most common. Positive cultures were higher in affected eyes (78.7%) than in healthy eyes (32.8%, P < 0.05). Tarsal conjunctiva cultures decreased with both Ozonest(64.5% to 51.6%) and Lephanet (56.7% to 46.7%). Overall CSD decreased from 47.5% to 16.4%, particularly in Lephanet (60% to 10%, P < 0.05).Conclusions: Positive cultures were more frequent in prosthetic eyes than in healthy eyes being with S. epidermidis and C. macginleyi being the most frequent microorganisms. Both hygiene regimens reduced positive tarsal conjunctival cultures and improved CSD. Author: Daniel Padilla Pantoja, MD.- Isolated palpebral myxoma: A case report
https://journals.lww.com/ijog/fulltext/2025/10000/isolated_palpebral_myxoma__a_case_report.3.aspx An isolated eyelid myxoma is a very rare entity with a high risk of recurrence. Hence, it requires high diagnostic suspicion for adequate surgical planning with complete excision and suitable surgical safety margins, as well as proper monitoring for recurrence. We describe a rare case of an isolated cutaneous palpebral myxoma in a 78-year-old man who presented with a nodular lesion on the left eyelid margin that had shown rapidly progressive growth in the previous 8 months, without skin lesions on other parts of the body. The echocardiogram and comprehensive systemic evaluation were within normal limits. An excisional biopsy was done. The histological findings confirmed a cutaneous myxoma. Given the rarity of this condition, a pathologist plays a crucial role in the definitive diagnostic confirmation as well as for the appropriate management and follow-up approach, which includes appropriate systemic exploration to rule out conditions on the Carney complex syndromic spectrum. Author: Daniel Padilla Pantoja, MD.- Sustained long-term benefits of autologous subconjunctival platelet-rich plasma injections for severe dry eye disease
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40772514 Abstract: Dry eye disease (DED) is a multifactorial condition that significantly impairs patients' quality of life, particularly in its severe forms, which are often unresponsive to conventional therapies. In this retrospective study, we evaluated the long-term efficacy and safety of subconjunctival platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections in six Hispanic women with refractory DED. A total of eleven eyes were treated with a standardized protocol consisting of five PRP injections - three administered monthly, followed by two spaced two months apart - and followed for a period of 12 months. Clinical assessments included both subjective and objective measures, such as the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), Schirmer test, tear breakup time (BUT), and ocular surface staining with fluorescein and lissamine green. Significant and sustained improvements were observed across all parameters throughout the follow-up period, and no serious adverse events were reported. Notably, this is the first study to demonstrate that subconjunctival PRP injections may provide long-term symptomatic relief in patients with refractory DED. These findings suggest that this novel, well-tolerated, and accessible therapeutic approach may represent a promising alternative for individuals who do not respond to conventional treatments and warrant further investigation in larger populations.

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09273948.2025.2456646Purpose: To present the case of a young patient with BRAF V600E-mutant cutaneous melanoma who developed bilateral choroidal metastases complicated by neovascular glaucoma (NVG) in both eyes following the interruption of nivolumab therapy.Methods: A 28-year-old female with primary cutaneous melanoma of the left hand underwent surgical resection and adjuvant nivolumab. Immunotherapy was discontinued due to immune-related acute interstitial nephritis. Three months after cessation, she presented with bilateral decreased vision, pain, and redness.Results: Ophthalmic examination and imaging revealed bilateral choroidal thickening with focal nodular lesions consistent with metastatic disease, along with uveitis and NVG in both eyes. This condition required topical anti-inflammatory treatment and cyclophotocoagulation for intraocular pressure (IOP) control. Nivolumab was reinitiated in combination with systemic corticosteroids to manage immune-related toxicity. At the 12-month follow-up, the patient retained visual function in one eye, with no signs of new metastatic lesions.Conclusions: Bilateral choroidal metastases from cutaneous melanoma are rare and can be complicated by NVG. Interruption of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) like nivolumab may lead to metastatic recurrence. Prompt resumption of immunotherapy, coupled with appropriate ocular interventions, is crucial for controlling disease progression and preserving vision. Careful management of immune-related adverse effects (irAEs) is essential to prevent treatment discontinuation and subsequent disease relapse.Author: Daniel Padilla Pantoja, MD.- Temporary Delayed Hypersensitivity Reaction to Botulinum Toxin-A After COVID-19 Vaccination: A Case Series
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00266-024-04274-wPurpose: The occurrence of a hypersensitivity reaction with the injection of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) in cosmetic use is a rare complication. We report the largest case series of temporary delayed hypersensitivity reaction (DHR) with BTX-A following COVID-19 vaccination and the first cases to incobotulinum toxin A (incoBTX-A).Methods: A retrospective multicentric case series of patients who developed a DHR to BTX-A after COVID-19 vaccination.Results: Twelve patients were treated with BTX-A injections for the management of facial rhytids. The age range was between 29 and 45 years. Ten (83.3%) were female. Ten (83.3%) patients received incoBTX-A, and two received onabotulinum toxin A (onaBTX-A). All patients had COVID-19 vaccination (mRNA vaccine) between 1 and 7 months before. Within an average time of 24 h after BTX-A injection, all patients developed progressive facial swelling and erythema that were more prominent at the injection points. Intradermal allergic tests to BTX-A were performed in six (50%) patients, and the results were all negative. Adequate clinical control was achieved with systemic corticosteroids and antihistamines. After 1 year with no further vaccination, a new BTX-A treatment (provocation test) was performed in all patients with no secondary effects.Conclusion: Previous COVID-19 vaccination and the absence of new adverse events with further BTX-A injections suggest a temporary DHR. Clinicians should be aware of the importance of immunization history and its potential post-vaccine immunogenic effects with BTX-A.

Floppy eyelid syndrome (FES) is a benign condition that leads to eyelid mispositioning. While it typically resolves on its own, it can present with various symptoms such as upper eyelids overriding the lower ones, medial canthal laxity, and erythema due to exposure to conjunctival involvement. We report the first case in Latin America, specifically in Bogota, Colombia, of a child under 3 months of age with FES associated with trisomy 21 and hordeolum, showing progressive resolution over time. This case highlights the potential associations between FES and congenital disorders.Author: Daniel Padilla Pantoja, MD.- Locally advanced basal cell carcinoma with orbital invasion https://sofcale.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Libro-SOFCALE-Tumores-Oculares-2024.pdf Author: Daniel Padilla Pantoja, MD.

- Late ophthalmologic manifestations of monkeypox in a Latin American immunosuppressed patient
BackgroundThe re-emergence of Monkeypox (MPX) and its related ophthalmic disease represent a clinical challenge in the initial stages because of the presence of lesions like those caused by varicella zoster, syphilis, and other infections due to other poxviruses. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection and secondary immunodepression raise the risk of severe and prolonged disease.PurposeWe present the case of a young immunosuppressed male patient with MPX, who presented with multiple skin lesions, also including risky ophthalmological manifestations due to extensive eyelid involvement.ConclusionsWe describe a novel form of late-onset conjunctivitis and eyelid lesions, without active extraocular disease, highlighting the heterogeneous behavior of the new clinical form of MPX, that exhibits a wide spectrum of lesions in different stages of evolution.Author: Daniel Padilla Pantoja, MD.- Etiology of Macular Edema Defined by Deep Learning in Optical Coherence Tomography Scans
Purpose: To develop an automated method based on deep learning (DL) to classify macular edema (ME) from the evaluation of optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans.Methods: A total of 4230 images were obtained from data repositories of patients attended in an ophthalmology clinic in Colombia and two free open-access databases. They were annotated with four biomarkers (BMs) as intraretinal fluid, subretinal fluid, hyperreflective foci/tissue, and drusen. Then the scans were labeled as control or ocular disease among diabetic macular edema (DME), neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), and retinal vein occlusion (RVO) by two expert ophthalmologists. Our method was developed by following four consecutive phases: segmentation of BMs, the combination of BMs, feature extraction with convolutional neural networks to achieve binary classification for each disease, and, finally, multiclass classification of diseases and control images.Results: The accuracy of our model for nAMD was 97%, and for DME, RVO, and control were 94%, 93%, and 93%, respectively. Area under curve values were 0.99, 0.98, 0.96, and 0.97, respectively. The mean Cohen's kappa coefficient for the multiclass classification task was 0.84.Conclusions: The proposed DL model may identify OCT scans as normal and ME. In addition, it may classify its cause among three major exudative retinal diseases with high accuracy and reliability.Translational Relevance: Our DL approach can optimize the efficiency and timeliness of appropriate etiological diagnosis of ME, thus improving patient access and clinical decision making. It could be useful in places with a shortage of specialists and for readers that evaluate OCT scans remotely.Author: Daniel Padilla Pantoja, MD.- Lateral tarsal strip through osteotomies for recurrent ectropion and eyelid laxity correction
AbstractObjective: to present a surgical technique for treating patients with recurrent ectropion and severe lower eyelid laxity.Methods: Lateral tarsal strip and canthal fixation by osteotomy was performed in 6 patients with recurrent ectropion and 1 patient with extreme lower eyelid laxity secondary to an anophthalmic socket. Preoperative and postoperative photographs were evaluated in order to assess the outcomes of the procedure. Patients were followed up 4 weeks, 6 months, 12 months and 24 months of the postoperative period. The initial symptoms of the patients were eye redness, epiphora, foreign body sensation, aesthetic complaints, and facial asymmetry. Symptoms and aesthetic results were assessed by questioning, photographs, and fluorescein and lissamine green stains taken in each visit.Results: No postoperative complications were observed. No recurrence episodes were reported during the follow-up period and physical appearance improvement and symptom severity reduction were maintained during the observation.Conclusion: Lateral tarsal strip through osteotomies is an effective surgical procedure for treating severe recurrent ectropion cases or lower eyelid laxity and could be considered as an alternative treatment option or even a primary surgical technique in selected difficult cases.Author: Daniel Padilla Pantoja, MD.- Clasificación etiológica automatizada de edema macular mediante estrategia de 'Deep Learning' aplicada en imágenes adquiridas por OCT de mácula
Objetivo: Desarrollar un método computacional basado en la estrategia de aprendizaje profundo ('Deep Learning', DL) para realizar un diagnóstico etiológico automatizado de edema macular (EM) a partir la evaluación de imágenes adquiridas por tomografía de coherencia óptica (OCT), clasificándolas entre edema macular diabético (EMD), degeneración macular exudativa (DMRE(e)) y EM secundario a oclusiones vasculares (EM 2a OVR). Diseño: Desarrollo de algoritmo de inteligencia artificial (IA) para la clasificación automatizada de enfermedades retinianas utilizando datos retrospectivos. Participantes: Se incluyeron 1343 imágenes de OCT de mácula, obtenidas de la base de datos de pacientes atendidos en una Clínica de Oftalmología y de bases de datos de libre acceso, que se utilizaron para entrenar y probar un modelo de inteligencia artificial para detectar EM y su diagnóstico etiológico. Métodos: Las imágenes de OCT fueron marcadas y segmentadas manualmente por dos oftalmólogos expertos, etiquetando biomarcadores (BMs) y clasificándolas en función de la enfermedad correspondiente (EMD, DMRE(e), EM 2a OVR) o como imágenes normales. Se entrenó y validó un modelo de inteligencia artificial usando el 80% de las imágenes y se probó con el 20% de las imágenes restantes. Nuestro método se desarrolló siguiendo cuatro fases consecutivas: segmentación e identificación de BMs, combinación de BMs y predicción de las máscaras, extracción de características mediante aplicación de redes neuronales convolucionales (CNNs) para la clasificación binaria para cada enfermedad y, finalmente, método de clasificación multiclase de las tres enfermedades. Principales medidas de resultados: Exactitud, área bajo la curva (AUC), sensibilidad y especificidad. Resultados: La exactitud diagnóstica lograda por el modelo para clasificar DMRE(e) fue 0.965, y para EMD, EM 2a OVR y controles, los valores fueron 0.94, 0.93 y 0.925, respectivamente. Los valores de área bajo la curva para EMD, DMRE(e), EM 2a OVR e imágenes controles fueron 0.99, 0.98, 0.96 y 0.97, respectivamente. Los valores de sensibilidad y especificidad para la clasificación de las tres enfermedades exudativas retinianas y para imágenes normales fueron comparables con el desempeño de un oftalmólogo experto, de acuerdo con lo reportado en la literatura. Conclusión: El modelo automatizado propuesto con enfoque de DL puede identificar imágenes normales y con edema macular a partir de escaneos adquiridos por OCT de mácula, y permite clasificar su causa entre las tres principales enfermedades exudativas retinianas con alta precisión y confiabilidad.Author: Daniel Padilla Pantoja, MD.- Segmentation of retinal fluids and hyperreflective foci using deep learning approach in optical coherence tomography scans
Retinal diseases are a common cause of blindness around the world, early detection of clinical findings can help to avoid vision loss in patients. Optical coherence tomography images have been widely used to diagnose retinal diseases, due to the capacity to show in detail findings as drusen, hyperreflective foci, and intraretinal and subretinal fluids. The location of findings is vital to identify and follow-up the retinal disease. However, the detection and segmentation of these findings is not an easy task due to artifacts noise, and the time consuming even to experts ophthalmologist. This paper proposes a computational method based on deep learning to automatically identify fluids and hyperreflective foci as a tool to identify retinal diseases through the use of OCT images. The method was evaluated on a set of OCT images manually annotated by experts. The experimental results present a Dice coefficient of 0,4437 and 0,6245 in the segmentation task of fluids (intraretinal fluids and subretinal fluids) and hyperreflective foci, respectively.Author: Daniel Padilla Pantoja, MD.- The Eye and the Zika Virus
DOI: 10.5772/intechopen.89847October 29th 2019Ocular involvement in Zika virus (ZIKV) infection can be present both in adults and infants as acquired and congenital diseases respectively. Through experimental studies, there has been clarified important mechanisms of ocular pathogenesis that allow the establishment of potential objectives for antiviral drugs development. The spread of the virus at the ocular level could be hematogenous or axonal, however the hematogenous route through the choroid is suggested as the most important initial mechanism for infection. Ocular manifestations vary according to the age of presentation, being mild and self-limited in adults and potentially devastating in children, related to congenital Zika syndrome (CZS). Ocular diagnosis is made based in clinical features and contact/travel history to countries of epidemiological importance; fundoscopy, optical coherence tomography, fluoresceinic/green indocianine angiography, cultures, serological and molecular tests are useful diagnostic tools. Ocular management is focused according to the clinical context of each patient. Prevention is carried out in a comprehensive manner and further research is directed to vaccine development and specific antiviral treatment. Proper attention requires a multidisciplinary team in order to reach complete visual evaluation and early rehabilitation.Author: Daniel Padilla Pantoja, MD.- Medical Error: A Silent Enemy
S.C.A.R.EJune 2016The article explores the significant impact of medical error in the profile of morbidity and mortality of patients, taking as a starting point the worrisome results that were recently published in the British Medical Journal that expose the medical error as the third cause of death in the United States, and also reviewing an analysis from an example raised in a retrospective study in Brazil about the scope of iatrogenic disease. It is warned of the need to promote initiatives for leading to the recognition of the problem, its particular circumstances and the development of strategies in order to minimize the deleterious effects of medical errors, privileging the senses of ethics, professionalism and humanism, which are owned by the essence of medical practice.Author: Daniel Padilla Pantoja, MD.- Guía para Activar el Sistema de Emergencias Médicas - FUNDONAR
