ABSTRACT

We describe the case of a 23-month-old female infant with a diagnosis of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and hemorrhagic retinopathy. The patient had a past history of abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, and acute renal failure. On ophthalmologic examination, indirect ophthalmoscopy revealed extensive areas of flame-shaped hemorrhage, cotton wool spots, macular edema and optic nerve head neovascularization in both eyes. Fluorescein angiography showed severe bilateral retinal ischemia and neovascularization leakage in disk. The patient, who had the visual acuity of 20/1000 in the right eye (OD) and 20/540 in the left eye (OS) at the first examination, was treated with panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) and presented at the end of the 6th month of follow-up improvement to 20/540 in OD and 20/270 in OS. There was also a regression of disc neovascularization, hemorrhages and macular edema. Despite intense retinal ischemia, there were no complications related to angiogenesis such as vitreous hemorrhage and/or neovascular glaucoma. We describe, in this report, the association between hemorrhagic retinopathy with features of Purtscher-like disease and HUS.


Descrevemos o caso de um lactente do sexo feminino de 23 meses com diagnóstico de síndrome hemolítico-urêmica (SHU) e retinopatia hemorrágica. A paciente apresentou história clínica prévia de dor abdominal, diarréia sanguinolenta e insuficiência renal aguda. Ao exame oftalmológico, a oftalmoscopia indireta evidenciou, em ambos os olhos, extensas áreas de hemorragia em chama de vela, exsudatos algodonosos, edema macular e neovasos na cabeça do nervo óptico. A angiofluoresceinografia mostrou intensa isquemia retiniana bilateral e vazamento na neovascularização de disco. A paciente, a qual apresentava acuidade visual de 20/1000 no olho direito (OD) e 20/540 no olho esquerdo (OE) no primeiro exame, foi tratada com panfotocoagulação retiniana e apresentou no final do 6º mês de acompanhamento a acuidade visual de 20/540 no OD e 20/270 no OE. Observou-se ainda a regressão dos neovasos, das hemorragias retininanas e do edema. Apesar da intensa isquemia retiniana não houve complicações relacionadas à angiogênese como hemorragia vítrea e/ou glaucoma neovascular. Descreve-se, neste relato, a associação entre retinopatia hemorrágicas com características de Purtscher-like e síndrome hemolítico-urêmica.

ABSTRACT

We report the case of a patient with congenital toxoplasmosis and submacular hemorrhage caused by a neovascular membrane who underwent an intravitreal injection of C3F8 and bevacizumab, and had a good visual recovery.


Relatamos o caso de uma paciente com toxoplasmose congênita e hemorragia submacular por uma membrana neovascular submetida à injeção intravítrea de C3F8 e bevacizumabe, com boa recuperação visual.
