Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has benefited an increasing number of patients with hematological disease in the clinic. It is a curative therapy for malignant and nonmalignant hematological diseases. With the advancement and further clinical application of HSCT in recent years, the life expectancy of patients has increased, but complications have become more common. The occurrence of ocular complications is receiving increasing attention because they can seriously affect the quality of life of patients. Ocular complications require increased attention from clinicians because of their negative impact on patients and increasing incidence. Most of recent reports on posttransplant ocular complications involve ocular manifestations of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and a few ocular complications that do not originate from GVHD have also been reported. This review summarizes the diagnosis, scoring criteria, pathophysiology, and clinical manifestations of and common therapies for ocular graft-versus-host disease(oGVHD) after HSCT, and includes a description of some rare cases and novel therapies.

Abstract
Purpose To describe a case of severe, bilateral periorbital edema after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Observations A three-year old girl with metastatic neuroblastoma underwent the second of two tandem autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplants, complicated by engraftment syndrome. On post-engraftment day 11, she developed acute onset of severe periorbital edema. She was soon thereafter diagnosed with transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy with significant volume overload requiring treatment with eculizumab and etanercept. Periorbital edema resolved after four days with concurrent treatment of her underlying condition. Conclusions and Importance We report an ocular manifestation related to complications of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. This highlights a non-infectious etiology of eyelid swelling in the post-transplant, immunocompromised population.

Role of the lectin pathway of complement in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation-associated endothelial injury and thrombotic microangiopathy. Exp Hematol Oncol 2021; 10:57. [PMID: 34924021 PMCID: PMC8684592 DOI: 10.1186/s40164-021-00249-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2021] [Accepted: 11/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (HSCT-TMA) is a life-threatening syndrome that occurs in adult and pediatric patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Nonspecific symptoms, heterogeneity within study populations, and variability among current diagnostic criteria contribute to misdiagnosis and underdiagnosis of this syndrome. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and associated risk factors precipitate endothelial injury, leading to HSCT-TMA and other endothelial injury syndromes such as hepatic veno-occlusive disease/sinusoidal obstruction syndrome, idiopathic pneumonia syndrome, diffuse alveolar hemorrhage, capillary leak syndrome, and graft-versus-host disease. Endothelial injury can trigger activation of the complement system, promoting inflammation and the development of endothelial injury syndromes, ultimately leading to organ damage and failure. In particular, the lectin pathway of complement is activated by damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) on the surface of injured endothelial cells. Pattern-recognition molecules such as mannose-binding lectin (MBL), collectins, and ficolins—collectively termed lectins—bind to DAMPs on injured host cells, forming activation complexes with MBL-associated serine proteases 1, 2, and 3 (MASP-1, MASP-2, and MASP-3). Activation of the lectin pathway may also trigger the coagulation cascade via MASP-2 cleavage of prothrombin to thrombin. Together, activation of complement and the coagulation cascade lead to a procoagulant state that may result in development of HSCT-TMA. Several complement inhibitors targeting various complement pathways are in clinical trials for the treatment of HSCT-TMA. In this article, we review the role of the complement system in HSCT-TMA pathogenesis, with a focus on the lectin pathway.
