Item type:Publication, Mutation of ABCA4 gene as a cause of autosomal recessive form of Stargardt disease – case report(Faculty of Medicine, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, 2024-12); ; Rushiti, MuhamedinStargardt disease is the most common type of juvenile macular dystrophy. It is inherited autosomal recessively, although autosomal dominant forms have also been described. It affects both sexes equally, without racial predisposition. Patients experience a progressive deterioration of the macular region and loss of central vision, leading to legal blindness in the majority of affected individuals.In this paper, we describe the case of an 11-year-old boy who presented for an ophthalmological evaluation due to a progressive decrease in visual acuity. The fundoscopic examination supplemented with imaging ophthalmological methods were sufficient to establish a working diagnosis of Stargardt disease. The diagnosis was confirmed by genetic testing, a mutation of the ABCA4 gene, which is associated with this dystrophy. The importance of this case report is that it is one of the first documented cases of Stargardt disease with ABCA4 mutation in Macedonia - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, The treatment of neovascular glaucoma caused by central vein occlusion with cyclocryotherapy- A case report(Macedonian Association of Anatomists, 2023); Rushiti, MuhamedinGlaucoma is the world's number one cause of irreversible blindness. Worldwide, there are over 65 million people diagnosed with various types of glaucoma. According to the latest definitions, it is a neuropathic progressive disease of the optic nerve. Neovascular glaucoma is a serious and aggressive form of glaucoma that has rapid progression and manifestations. The main symptoms are high eye pressure, pain, redness and the appearance of small vessels in the iris. There are various treatments for this disease, but mainly they are aimed at relieving the symptoms or reducing the progression of the disease. The most important therapeutic options, apart from anti-glaucoma drugs, are the application of anti-VEGF therapy and cyclodestructive treatments, which enable the reduction of intraocular pressure and alleviation of symptoms, thus enabling patients to have a better quality of life. The aim of our study was to prove the impact of cyclocryotherapy in reducing intraocular pressure in a 43-year-old female patient with neovascular glaucoma of the left eye. The pressure before the intervention was 41.4 mmHg, while after the intervention it decreased to 26.6 mmHg, also the symptoms such as pain and redness subsided. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
