A case of nonimmunologic fetal hydrops complicated by bilateral theca lutein cysts is presented. It is thought that the theca lutein cysts were caused by elevated human chorionic gonadotrophin levels that were a result of fetal hydrops. These cysts should not be treated with surgery, since they
The presence of theca-lutein ovarian cysts in the early second trimester of pregnancy is highly suspicious for a complete hydatidiform molar pregnancy but can be seen in association with a partial mole. Theca-lutein cysts may occur following hormonal stimulation for assisted reproductive techniques
OBJECTIVE
To describe, in a group of patients with moderately advanced retinitis pigmentosa (RP), the prevalence of cystoid macular edema (CME), the variation in foveal thickness over a 48-week period, the correlation of visual acuity (VA) with retinal thickness, and the lack of response of CME to
OBJECTIVE
Lutein is one of the most common carotenoids defined in human plasma as having potent anti-oxidant effects. We aimed to determine the biochemical and histopathological effects of lutein on cisplatin-induced oxidative retinal injury in rats.
METHODS
Twenty-four rats were equally divided
OBJECTIVE
Ethambutol and isoniazid are two major effective first line agents in tuberculosis treatment having some visual adverse effects. We aimed to determine the protective effects of lutein on oxidative optic neuropathy induced by ethambutol and isoniazid in an experimental
We present a case of theca-lutein cysts associated with homozygous alpha-thalassemia. Theca-lutein cysts have been associated with various types of nonimmune hydrops fetalis but have not been reported previously in association with homozygous alpha-thalassemia.
A case of nonimmunologic fetal hydrops associated with maternal bilateral theca lutein cysts (hyperreactio luteinalis) is presented. It is proposed that the theca lutein cysts were caused by elevated human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) production from the hydropic placenta. These cysts appeared to
A case of idiopathic ovarian edema in a 26-year-old woman with a twin pregnancy is reported. The clinical evolution of the condition was benign in spite of acute episodes of left iliac pain. In diagnosis, theca-lutein cysts had to be differentiated from other ovarian enlargements. The authors advise
Twenty-five cases of ovarian enlargement secondary to massive edema, to a hitherto undescribed lesion that we have designated fibromatosis, or to both processes were reviewed to explore the possibility of a relation between them. The patients ranged in age from 13 to 39 years. The 14 patients with
Endocrine studies of a virilized adolescent patient with massive ovarian edema are reported. The histologic features of the affected ovary consisted of diffuse edematous stroma with scattered islands of lutein-like cells and no evidence of recent ovulation. Plasma concentrations of progesterone and
Transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels, such as TRP vanilloid 1 and ankyrin repeat domain 1 (TRPV1 and TRPA1), are expressed on primary sensory neurons. Lutein, a natural tetraterpene carotenoid, can be incorporated into membranes and might modulate TRP channels. Therefore, the effects of
Lipofuscin results from digestion of photoreceptor outer segments by the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and is the principal compound that causes RPE fluorescence during autofluorescence imaging. Absorption of the 488-nanometer blue light by macular pigments, especially by the carotenoids lutein
