Owl's eye appearance, also known as owl's eye sign, is a pattern used in the medical field to describe cells (or cell attributes) that resemble the shape of an actual owl's eye. Using the techniques of histology and radiology, microscopes and other medical imaging are used to locate this pattern of "owl's eye" shaped cells. The term may be applied to the appearance of the cells themselves, or to aspects of their morphology, such as reference to an "owl eye nucleus". The presence of "owl's eye" cells has been linked to a variety of conditions, such as in the pathology of Hodgkin's lymphoma, a form of cancer. In particular, owl's eye appearance has been used to indicate the presence of cytomegalovirus (CMV), a genus of virus found in humans and other primates.

Use in Pathology

The owl's eye appearance has a relationship with Reed–Sternberg cells in regard to cytomegalovirus infection. [4] Owl's eye appearance was used as an indication of the presence of the cytomegalovirus for the following case studies.

In 1982, a textbook wrote a chapter on cytomegalovirus and elaborated on its further relevance to owl's eye appearances. [5] It was stated that the owl's eye had a characteristic of a clear halo that extended towards the cell membrane's nucleus. The cellular structure was found to be relevant to pneumonia which was caused by cytomegalovirus.

In a 1986 case study, a journal wrote that an owl's eye appearance was found in a total of 10 out of 10 patients. [6] This was apparently due to the cytomegalovirus found in the patients that were also found to be diagnosed with AIDS. [6] This case study involved CT scans that were used as a proposal as a way to detect the cytomegalovirus; however, the case study found that the cytomegalovirus had little relevance to the ability of CT scans. [6]

In 1987, a 33-year-old man diagnosed with AIDS was discovered with the cytomegalovirus in his eyes. [7] The presence of an owl's eye appearance indicated the hospital that this patient was infected with the cytomegalovirus.

In 1990, a case study journal found that the owl's eye appearance correlated with the appearance of HIV infection. [8] This was where the case study involved the study of hospital cases and concluding that HIV plays a role in certain symptoms such as diarrhea. [8] In another case study journal, the owl's eye appearances were found within the four patients that were observed. [9] These patients were diagnosed with AIDS, and the presence of the owl's eye appearances proved the presence of cytomegalovirus. The confirmation of this virus was by the use of immunohistochemistry. [9]

In a 2000 case study, it was discovered that the owl's eye appearance as a cell body was key for the histopathological understanding of the cytomegalovirus. [2] The study found a strong relationship with a positive CMV PCR (p < 0.001). [2] The discovery led to a result that owl's eye appearances were a strong sign for finding cytomegalovirus inside organs. [2]

In 2006, a case study journal wrote that owls' eye signs were found in patients with compromised immune system. [10] The purpose of this case study was to identify the features of the cytomegalovirus itself and the appearance of owl's eyes in relevance.

In 2009, a case study journal found a 44-year-old male patient to be infected with the cytomegalovirus. [11] The presence of an eye's owl appearance found within the infected area, gave the necessary clues to confirm cytomegalovirus infection. [11] A different case study found the appearance of an owl's eye in eighteen patients who were induced with drugs with a syndrome. [12] The case study concluded that the cytomegalovirus disease was present, as the syndrome caused these patients to compromise their immune system. The case also found that the significant decrease of white blood cells was a factor in the preliminary stage of cytomegalovirus infection.

In 2011, a second edition textbook found that an owl's eye appearance was found inside a dead retina. [13] It was found due to the cause of the cytomegalovirus [13] that had been residing inside an eye causing it to transition from healthy to dead.

In 2012, a journal was written on patients with cytomegalovirus infection and was used in mapping out the owl's eye cells using their microscopic technology. [14] The patients were two elderly men at ages 75 and 77 years old. The image of the owl's eye appearance was created using the microscope via lasers, and two-dimensional images were created using computer software. The conclusion made by the journal was that the owl's eye had relevance to cytomegalovirus infection.

In 2019, a four-year-old boy was found with acute flaccid paralysis and was found to have an owl's eye appearance. [15] The case also spoke on the presence of enterovirus. [15] The boy was also found to have a compromised immune system, which the enterovirus came through in infection. This case is unique due to the owl's eye appearance in relevance to the enterovirus.

Histological cases

Owl's eye appearances were also found within tissues and organs and are tied with histopathological cases. Most of these cases are also relevant to the pathology cases. However, these cases focused more on the specifics of a singular organ or tissue where the owl's eye appeared. These cases also have moderate relevance to the cytomegalovirus.

In 1983, a journal wrote on a case study that found owl's eye appearance within the human eyes with the presence of potential cytomegalovirus with a deficient immune system. [16] This was from the symptoms of inflammation that gave the diagnosis of an immune system to be deficient.

In 1985, a journal wrote that the appearance of owl's eye signs was due to the presence of inflammatory bowel disease. [17] This finding created a suspicion that the patient, in this case, was, infected with the cytomegalovirus infection. However, further investigations showed that the patient was leading to a weak immune system. The patient was also identified as an 80-year-old man with a short-term case of diarrhea of blood and mucus, [17] which was not contained and resulted in his death. The autopsy found the presence of cytomegalovirus this way.

In 2002, a rare case study journal wrote that a range of cytomegalovirus could infect patients diagnosed with AIDS and compromised immune systems. However, it was rare to involve the patient's skin. [18] The skin at the cellular level was found to have owl's eye appearance and was concluded after several tests to be the cytomegalovirus infection.

In 2007, a journal wrote about the presence of owls' eye appearance as cells found in a transplant to a patient. [19] The owl's eye appearance was considered rare for cytomegalovirus infection in the transplant, but was considered concerning. [19] The cytomegalovirus infection was found of relevance towards compromised immune patients, as previous cases show that immune problems for patients have a similar case of cytomegalovirus infection.

In 2015, a review journal wrote on herpes infection. It made a finding that owl's eye appearance was found in most organs [20] through the investigation of a liver transplant. This provides evidence that the appearance of an owl's eye allowed the doctors to diagnose that cytomegalovirus infection from the liver transplant can be detected through detection tools.

In 2019, a case study was conducted on a series of patients that were infected with cytomegalovirus, [21] and found the presence of the owl's eye appearance due to the presence of the virus. These owl's eye appearances were able to conclude that high-risk patients had a higher risk of cytomegalovirus.

Special cases

Another particular case in 1957 found that an owl's eye appearance was found by two cells mirroring each other, producing the pattern inside the histological case study of tumors. [22] This is essentially what an owl's eye appearance is, however, the symptom did not occur from the presence of cytomegalovirus but from a unique case.

In another particular case in 1999, a case study was conducted by investigating a series of babies and found a baby with the presence of an owl's sign which was also found to be known as an eye mask. This had to do with the presence of a rash, not the reality of cytomegalovirus. [23]

In a particular case in 2011, the owl's eye appearance was found within the cellular structure of the spinal ganglia. [24]

Radiology cases

Owl's eye appearance is also found within radiology images from X-rays and CT scans. [25] They appear as an indication of a clue to be used for analyzing the problem. These scans so far do not indicate that the owl's eye appearance found within radiology has any relevance towards the cytomegalovirus infection within patients. [26] An example of the appearance of an owl's eye appearing within an image is of a skeleton within the bone structure, especially in the spinal cord.

In 2009, a journal wrote on the presence of an owl's eye appearance that was found within the skeletal structure from the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan in regards to compression of the spinal cord. [27] The owl's eye sign indicated that the spinal issues may be similar to other spinal cord cases and can be used to identify future cases.

In 2012, a case study journal article was written on a 10-year-old boy and discovered the owl's eye appeared inside the brain from an MRI scan. [28] In the findings, it was found that the owl eye's sign was seen when doing neuroradiology images. The owl's eye sign was also detected from the spinal cord in spine MRI scans conducted post-treatment for the boy.

In 2015, a case study on owl's eye sign was found in a neuroimaging via MRI, which was rare due to the patient's diagnosis. [29] The patient was found with Flailing Arm Syndrome.

In June 2016, a journal article was written on a central pontine myelinolysis presence. [30] And from doing radiology scans within the brain, they were able to find observations of owl's eye signs that also resembled similar to monkey signs. [30] The owl's eye appearance was also used as a sign in the MRI scans conducted in the scanning of the brain to show its relevance to the patient's diagnosed profile. In September 2016, a journal article examined MRI scans relevant to spinal cord conditions. [31] These tests found owls' eye appearance as they were relevant to spinal cords in past cases. The journal concluded that the owl's eyes were not a main characteristic of tissue death.

A textbook has stated that within radiology, the appearance of an owl's eye can be seen from the cells and neurological disorders. [32] This textbook is a clinical review textbook and has provided relevance between owl's eye signs and neurological imaging.

Special cases

It was found that a 1986 case study found that CT scans [6] were of little effect when trying to find cytomegalovirus in the presence of owl's eye appearance.

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rare and often fatal viral disease characterized by progressive damage (-pathy) or inflammation of the white matter (leuko-) of the brain (-encephalo-) at multiple locations (multifocal). It is caused by the JC virus, which is normally present and kept under control by the immune system. The JC virus is harmless except in cases of weakened immune systems. In general, PML has a mortality rate of 30–50% in the first few months, and those who survive can be left with varying degrees of neurological disabilities.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Transverse myelitis</span> Medical condition of the spinal cord

Transverse myelitis (TM) is a rare neurological condition wherein the spinal cord is inflamed. The adjective transverse implies that the spinal inflammation (myelitis) extends horizontally throughout the cross section of the spinal cord; the terms partial transverse myelitis and partial myelitis are sometimes used to specify inflammation that affects only part of the width of the spinal cord. TM is characterized by weakness and numbness of the limbs, deficits in sensation and motor skills, dysfunctional urethral and anal sphincter activities, and dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system that can lead to episodes of low blood pressure and Dizziness. Signs and symptoms vary according to the affected level of the spinal cord. The underlying cause of TM is unknown. The spinal cord inflammation seen in TM has been associated with various infections, immune system disorders, or damage to nerve fibers, by loss of myelin. As opposed to leukomyelitis which affects only the white matter, it affects the entire cross-section of the spinal cord. Decreased electrical conductivity in the nervous system can result.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Multiple sclerosis</span> Disease that damages the myelin sheaths around nerves

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease in which the insulating covers of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord are damaged. This damage disrupts the ability of parts of the nervous system to transmit signals, resulting in a range of signs and symptoms, including physical, mental, and sometimes psychiatric problems. Specific symptoms can include double vision, vision loss, eye pain, muscle weakness, and loss of sensation or coordination. MS takes several forms, with new symptoms either occurring in isolated attacks or building up over time. In the relapsing forms of MS, between attacks, symptoms may disappear completely, although some permanent neurological problems often remain, especially as the disease advances. In the progressive forms of MS, bodily function slowly deteriorates and disability worsens once symptoms manifest and will steadily continue to do so if the disease is left untreated.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Viral meningitis</span> Medical condition

Viral meningitis, also known as aseptic meningitis, is a type of meningitis due to a viral infection. It results in inflammation of the meninges. Symptoms commonly include headache, fever, sensitivity to light and neck stiffness.

Myelitis is inflammation of the spinal cord which can disrupt the normal responses from the brain to the rest of the body, and from the rest of the body to the brain. Inflammation in the spinal cord can cause the myelin and axon to be damaged resulting in symptoms such as paralysis and sensory loss. Myelitis is classified to several categories depending on the area or the cause of the lesion; however, any inflammatory attack on the spinal cord is often referred to as transverse myelitis.

Spinal tumors are neoplasms located in either the vertebral column or the spinal cord. There are three main types of spinal tumors classified based on their location: extradural and intradural. Extradural tumors are located outside the dura mater lining and are most commonly metastatic. Intradural tumors are located inside the dura mater lining and are further subdivided into intramedullary and extramedullary tumors. Intradural-intramedullary tumors are located within the dura and spinal cord parenchyma, while intradural-extramedullary tumors are located within the dura but outside the spinal cord parenchyma. The most common presenting symptom of spinal tumors is nocturnal back pain. Other common symptoms include muscle weakness, sensory loss, and difficulty walking. Loss of bowel and bladder control may occur during the later stages of the disease.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Aseptic meningitis</span> Medical condition

Aseptic meningitis is the inflammation of the meninges, a membrane covering the brain and spinal cord, in patients whose cerebral spinal fluid test result is negative with routine bacterial cultures. Aseptic meningitis is caused by viruses, mycobacteria, spirochetes, fungi, medications, and cancer malignancies. The testing for both meningitis and aseptic meningitis is mostly the same. A cerebrospinal fluid sample is taken by lumbar puncture and is tested for leukocyte levels to determine if there is an infection and goes on to further testing to see what the actual cause is. The symptoms are the same for both meningitis and aseptic meningitis but the severity of the symptoms and the treatment can depend on the certain cause.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Neurosyphilis</span> Infection of the central nervous system in a patient with syphilis

Neurosyphilis is the infection of the central nervous system in a patient with syphilis. In the era of modern antibiotics, the majority of neurosyphilis cases have been reported in HIV-infected patients. Meningitis is the most common neurological presentation in early syphilis. Tertiary syphilis symptoms are exclusively neurosyphilis, though neurosyphilis may occur at any stage of infection.

Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) is a rapid-onset muscle weakness caused by the immune system damaging the peripheral nervous system. Typically, both sides of the body are involved, and the initial symptoms are changes in sensation or pain often in the back along with muscle weakness, beginning in the feet and hands, often spreading to the arms and upper body. The symptoms may develop over hours to a few weeks. During the acute phase, the disorder can be life-threatening, with about 15% of people developing weakness of the breathing muscles and, therefore, requiring mechanical ventilation. Some are affected by changes in the function of the autonomic nervous system, which can lead to dangerous abnormalities in heart rate and blood pressure.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Mollaret's meningitis</span> Medical condition

Mollaret's meningitis is a recurrent or chronic inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, known collectively as the meninges. Since Mollaret's meningitis is a recurrent, benign (non-cancerous), aseptic meningitis, it is also referred to as benign recurrent lymphocytic meningitis. It was named for Pierre Mollaret, the French neurologist who first described it in 1944.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Herpes simplex encephalitis</span> Encephalitis associated with herpes simplex virus

Herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE), or simply herpes encephalitis, is encephalitis due to herpes simplex virus. It is estimated to affect at least 1 in 500,000 individuals per year, and some studies suggest an incidence rate of 5.9 cases per 100,000 live births.

Cytomegalovirus esophagitis is a form of esophagitis associated with cytomegalovirus. Symptoms include dysphagia, upper abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and sometimes hematemesis. This condition occurs in the setting of patients with a weakened immune system who are susceptible to both infections by CMV and the manifestation of symptoms. A large majority of patient that have CMV Esophagitis are diagnosed with HIV. Another significant segment of the population have weakened immune systems through transplant surgery, diabetes, or due to medication. Diagnosis is done primarily by endoscopy with biopsy, as CMV Esophagitis has a distinctive pathology pattern of linear ulcers.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Lymphocytic pleocytosis</span> Increase in lymphocytes within cerebrospinal fluid

Lymphocytic pleocytosis is an abnormal increase in the amount of lymphocytes in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It is usually considered to be a sign of infection or inflammation within the nervous system, and is encountered in a number of neurological diseases, such as pseudomigraine, Susac's syndrome, and encephalitis. While lymphocytes make up roughly a quarter of all white blood cells (WBC) in the body, they are generally rare in the CSF. Under normal conditions, there are usually less than 5 white blood cells per µL of CSF. In a pleocytic setting, the number of lymphocytes can jump to more than 1,000 cells per µL. Increases in lymphocyte count are often accompanied by an increase in cerebrospinal protein concentrations in addition to pleocytosis of other types of white blood cells.

Vertebral osteomyelitis is a type of osteomyelitis that affects the vertebrae. It is a rare bone infection concentrated in the vertebral column. Cases of vertebral osteomyelitis are so rare that they constitute only 2%-4% of all bone infections. The infection can be classified as acute or chronic depending on the severity of the onset of the case, where acute patients often experience better outcomes than those living with the chronic symptoms that are characteristic of the disease. Although vertebral osteomyelitis is found in patients across a wide range of ages, the infection is commonly reported in young children and older adults. Vertebral osteomyelitis often attacks two vertebrae and the corresponding intervertebral disk, causing narrowing of the disc space between the vertebrae. The prognosis for the disease is dependent on where the infection is concentrated in the spine, the time between initial onset and treatment, and what approach is used to treat the disease.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Pathology of multiple sclerosis</span> Pathologic overview

Multiple sclerosis (MS) can be pathologically defined as the presence of distributed glial scars (scleroses) in the central nervous system that must show dissemination in time (DIT) and in space (DIS) to be considered MS lesions.

Spinal cord injury without radiographic abnormality (SCIWORA) is symptoms of a spinal cord injury (SCI) with no evidence of injury to the spinal column on X-rays or CT scan. Symptoms may include numbness, weakness, abnormal reflexes, or loss of bladder or bowel control. Neck or back pain is also common. Symptoms may be brief or persistent. Some do not develop symptoms until a few days after the injury.

Radiologically isolated syndrome (RIS) is a clinical situation in which a person has white matter lesions suggestive of multiple sclerosis (MS), as shown on an MRI scan that was done for reasons unrelated to MS symptoms. The nerve lesions in these people show dissemination in space with an otherwise normal neurological examination and without historical accounts of typical MS symptoms.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Vertebral hemangioma</span> Medical condition

Vertebral hemangiomas or haemangiomas (VHs) are a common vascular lesion found within the vertebral body of the thoracic and lumbar spine. These are predominantly benign lesions that are often found incidentally during radiology studies for other indications and can involve one or multiple vertebrae. Vertebral hemangiomas are a common etiology estimated to be found in 10-12% of humans at autopsy. They are benign in nature and frequently asymptomatic. Symptoms, if they do occur, are usually related to large hemangiomas, trauma, the hormonal and hemodynamic changes of pregnancy (causing intra-spinal bleeding), or osseous expansion and extra-osseous extension into surround soft tissues or epidural region of the spinal canal.

A central nervous system tumor is an abnormal growth of cells from the tissues of the brain or spinal cord. CNS tumor is a generic term encompassing over 120 distinct tumor types. Common symptoms of CNS tumors include vomiting, headache, changes in vision, nausea, and seizures. A CNS tumor can be detected and classified via neurological examination, medical imaging, such as x-ray imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT), or after analysis of a biopsy.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Chronic meningitis</span> Inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord lasting longer than 4 weeks

Chronic meningitis is a long-lasting inflammation of the membranes lining the brain and spinal cord. By definition, the duration of signs, symptoms and inflammation in chronic meningitis last longer than 4 weeks. Infectious causes are a leading cause and the infectious organisms responsible for chronic meningitis are different than the organisms that cause acute infectious meningitis. Tuberculosis and the fungi cryptococcus are leading causes worldwide. Chronic meningitis due to infectious causes are more common in those who are immunosuppressed, including those with HIV infection or in children who are malnourished. Chronic meningitis sometimes has a more indolent course than acute meningitis with symptoms developing more insidiously and slowly. Also, some of the infectious agents that cause chronic infectious meningitis such as mycobacterium tuberculosis, many fungal species and viruses are difficult to isolate from the cerebrospinal fluid making diagnosis challenging. No cause is identified during initial evaluation in one third of cases. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain is more sensitive than computed tomography and may show radiological signs that suggest chronic meningitis, however no radiological signs are considered pathognomonic or characteristic. MRI is also normal in many cases further limiting its diagnostic utility.
