ABSTRACT

Introduction: Facial injuries are a common occurrence at the emergency room. Treatment for this type of trauma is complex in terms of re-establishing good oral and facial function, plus aesthetics. Objective: This paper aims to report a clinical case of aesthetic and functional rehabilitation using triamcinolone in a patient affected on the face by a fireworks explosion. Case report: A 26-year-old man was admitted to the oral and maxillofacial surgery service of the Sergipe Urgency Hospital presenting trauma after the explosion of a "Firework rocket" in his face. The patient had extensive soft tissue injury in gingival mucosa, right labial commissure, and tongue. There was also inferior incisive avulsion and dentoalveolar fracture. His clinical and tomographic evaluation presented comminuted mandibular fracture. After eighteen days he was discharged and sent to the dentistry service of the Federal University of Sergipe for aesthetic and functional rehabilitation of his facial damages. Two months later, the patient attended a University dental service to begin aesthetic and postoperative functional rehabilitation. First, the necrotic bone was removed, following intralesional infiltration of hexacetonide triamcinolone 20mg/mL into the scar of the labial region and the commissure of the lips was performed. Each application was performed after twenty days of interval. Later, lingual frenectomy and glossosplasty were done for improving his lingual mobility and then hexacetonide triamcinolone 20mg/mL infiltrations were also done in the tongue base in the following sessions. Conclusions: After five infiltrations, it was observed an improvement in the scar appearance and texture, which also had a lower contracture, as well as a lingual motricity improvement(AU)


Introducción: Las lesiones faciales son frecuentes en el servicio de emergencia. El tratamiento para este tipo de trauma es complejo en términos de restablecer una buena función bucal y facial, además de la estética. Objetivo: Reportar un caso clínico de rehabilitación estética y funcional a través del uso de hexacetónido de triamcinolona en un paciente afectado por una explosión de fuegos artificiales en su rostro. Caso clínico: Hombre de 26 años ingresado en el servicio de cirugía oral y maxilofacial del Hospital de Urgencia de Sergipe por presentar un traumatismo después de la explosión contra su rostro de un cohete de fuegos artificiales. El paciente tenía una lesión extensa de partes blandas en la mucosa gingival, comisura labial derecha y lengua. También hubo avulsión incisiva inferior y fractura dentoalveolar. A través de la evaluación clínica y de tomografía, fue posible observar fragmentación múltiple ósea en el sitio de la fractura, compatible con fractura mandibular conminuta. Después de dieciocho días fue dado de alta y enviado al servicio de odontología de la Universidad Federal de Sergipe para la rehabilitación estética y funcional de sus daños faciales. Dos meses después, el paciente asistió al servicio dental de la universidad para comenzar la rehabilitación funcional estética y posoperatoria. Primero, se retiró el hueso necrótico, luego se realizó la infiltración intralesional de hexacetónido de triamcinolona 20 mg/mL en la cicatriz de la región labial y se realizó la comisura de los labios; con un intervalo de 20 días entre cada aplicación. Posteriormente, se realizaron frenectomía lingual y glososplastia, para mejorar su movilidad lingual, y luego se realizaron infiltraciones de 20 mg/mL de hexacetónido de triamcinolona en la base de la lengua en las sesiones siguientes. Comentarios principales: Después de cinco infiltraciones se observó una mejora en el aspecto y la textura de la cicatriz, que también tenía una contractura más baja, así como una mejora de la motricidad lingual(AU)

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN El origen del pseudotumor orbitario no es del todo conocido. Se admite su naturaleza inflamatoria granulomatosa e inespecífica en diferentes localizaciones. El pseudotumor orbitario se define como una respuesta inflamatoria celular pleomórfica, que está usualmente confinado a estructuras de la órbita y tiene una evolución limitada. En este trabajo se presenta una paciente femenina de 16 años, con diagnóstico de pseudotumor orbitario corroborado por biopsia y tomografía axial computarizada, refractaria al tratamiento con esteroides sistémicos, por lo que se decide iniciar con la aplicación de hialuronidasa y triamcinolona en el espacio peribulbar. Los casos agudos casi siempre responden rápidamente al tratamiento con cortocoesteroides, como prednisona, pero debemos tener en cuenta que existen pacientes que son refractarios al tratamiento, por lo que es necesario buscar procedimientos alternativos. Una opción es el uso de hialuronidasa para destruir las uniones extracelulares, y difundir un esteroide de manera local, como la triamcinolona, más efectiva dentro del tejido inflamatorio para provocar un efecto localizado de este. A los tres meses del tratamiento hubo una regresión total del cuadro en esta paciente(AU)


ABSTRACT The exact etiology of orbital pseudotumor is unknown, but its granulomatous unspecific inflammatory nature at various locations has been recognized. Orbital pseudotumor is defined as a cellular pleomorphic inflammatory response of limited evolution often confined to orbital structures. A case is presented of a female 16-year-old patient diagnosed with orbital pseudotumor confirmed by biopsy and computerized axial tomography, refractory to treatment with systemic steroids, due to which it is decided to start treatment with hyaluronidase and triamcinolone in the peribulbar space. Acute cases often respond fast to treatment with corticosteroids such as prednisone. It should be borne in mind that there are patients who are refractory to treatment for whom alternative treatments should be sought. An option is the use of hyaluronidase to destroy extracellular junctions and locally spread a steroid such as triamcinolone, most effectively within the inflammatory tissue to ensure its localized effect. Total regression of the patient's status was observed at three months of treatment(AU)

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objectives: To compare the effect of intravitreal Ranibizumab (0.3mg) and Triamicinolone (4mg) on different parameters in spectral domain OCT and their relation to visual acuity of patients with diabetic macular edema. Methods: This study is designed as a prospective randomized study. Patients were randomly divided into 2 groups receiving either Pro re nata intravitreal Ranibizumab (0.3mg) or Triamicinolone acetonide (4mg), to whom Spectral Domain OCT was done as well as best corrected Log MAR visual acuity. Results: 40 patients were included in this study. Comparison and correlation of mean BCVA and mean CMT among and within treatment groups of our study revealed strong and significant relationship between both parameters and showing equal effect of both treatment types regarding them with the consideration that Triamicinolone acetonide treated group (Group B) showed statistically significant lower CMT compared to Ranibizumab treated group (Group A) at three and six months. Also both showed equal effectivity regarding improvement of the photoreceptors integrity and in turn the improvement of the BCVA. Meanwhile the association of CMT and IS/OS integrity was found to be significant only at six months in both groups (p =0.009 in Group A; p =0.031 in Group B). The fading initial effect of a single ranibizumab injection on macular edema can be augmented by following that one injection with two injections of the loading dose. Triamicinolone effect after single injection began to fade at 3 months. Conclusion: Both treatment types had good effect on reduction of CMT and improvement of BCVA and the IS/OS junction with difference in sustainability of their effects due to difference in their pharmacokinetics and need for repeated injections.


Resumo Objetivos: Comparar o efeito do ranibizumabe intravítreo (0,3mg) e triacmicinolona (4mg) em diferentes parâmetros do domínio espectral da OCT e sua relação com a acuidade visual de pacientes com edema macular diabético. Métodos: Este estudo foi concebido como um estudo prospectivo randomizado. Os pacientes foram divididos aleatoriamente em 2 grupos que receberam Ranibizumab Pro rata intravitreal (0,3mg) ou acetonido de Triamicinolona (4mg), a quem foi realizada a Spectral Domain OCT, bem como a melhor acuidade visual de Log MAR corrigida. Resultados: Quarenta pacientes foram incluídos neste estudo. A comparação e a correlação da acuidade visual média e CMT média entre e dentro de grupos de tratamento do nosso estudo revelaram uma relação forte e significativa entre ambos os parâmetros e mostrando um efeito igual de ambos os tipos de tratamento, considerando que o grupo tratado com acetonido Triamicinolona (Grupo B) apresentou significância estatística. menor CMT comparado ao grupo tratado com Ranibizumab (Grupo A) aos três e seis meses. Também ambos mostraram igual efetividade em relação à melhoria da integridade dos fotorreceptores e, por sua vez, a melhora do BCVA. Enquanto isso, a associação de CMT e IS / OS integridade foi significativa apenas aos seis meses em ambos os grupos (p = 0,009 no Grupo A; p = 0,031 no Grupo B). O efeito inicial enfraquecido de uma única injeção de ranibizumabe no edema macular pode ser aumentado seguindo-se aquela injeção com duas injeções da dose de ataque. O efeito triamicinolona após injeção única começou a diminuir aos 3 meses. Conclusão: Ambos os tipos de tratamento tiveram bom efeito na redução da CMT e melhora do BCVA e da junção IS / OS com a diferença na sustentabilidade de seus efeitos devido à diferença em sua farmacocinética e necessidade de injeções repetidas.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN El pénfigo es una enfermedad autoinmune potencialmente mortal, que causa ampollas y erosiones en la piel y en la membrana mucosa. Las lesiones epiteliales son el resultado de autoanticuerpos que reaccionan con las glicoproteínas desmosomales y están presentes en la superficie celular del queratinocito. La reacción autoinmune contra estas glicoproteínas causa una pérdida de adhesión celular, resultando en la formación de ampollas intraepiteliales. Del 80 al 90 % de los pacientes con pénfigo vulgar, desarrollan trastornos cutáneos y en el 60 % de los casos alteraciones en la mucosa que es el primer o único signo. El diagnóstico de las lesiones en cavidad bucal es fundamental, ya que pueden prevenir su afectación a la piel. Si se establece el tratamiento en su etapa inicial, la enfermedad es más fácil de controlar y aumenta la posibilidad de una remisión temprana del trastorno y mejor calidad de vida. Este reporte de caso mostró a una paciente de 35 años, la que comenzó a presentar lesiones ulceradas en toda la orofaringe, con sensación de ardor e incapacidad para la ingestión de alimentos. El diagnóstico fue pénfigo vulgar (AU).


ABSTRACT Pemphigus is a potentially deadly autoimmune disease causing blisters and erosions in the skin and the mucous membrane. The epithelial lesions are the result of antibodies reacting to desmosomal glycoproteins, and are present in the keratinocytes cellular surface. The autoimmune reaction to these glycoproteins causes a cellular adhesion loss resulting in the formation of intraepithelial blisters. From 80 to 90 % of the patients with vulgar pemphigus develop skin disorders, and 60 % of the cases show mucosa changes as the first or unique sign. The diagnosis of the lesions in oral cavity is essential because it could prevent the skin damage. If the treatment begins in an initial stage, it is easier to control the disease and the possibility of the disorder's early remission and a better life quality increases. This is the report of the case of a female patient, aged 35 years, who presented ulcerated lesions in the entire oropharyngeal region, with itching sensation and inability for food consumption. The diagnosis was vulgar pemphigus (AU).

ABSTRACT

Resumo Relatar um caso de paciente com Retinopatia vaso-oclusiva por Lúpus Eritematoso Sistêmico (LES) associado à Síndrome do Anticorpo Antifosfolipídeo (SAF), que se iniciou com um quadro de anemia hemolítica autoimune acompanhado por baixa visual súbita monocular. Poucos casos foram descritos na literatura nacional e mundial em que o LES se manifeste primeiramente com alterações oculares. O screening dos Anticorpos antifosfolípideos (APAs) é de suma importância para pacientes com retinopatia lúpica para que seja instituída a terapia imediata com anticoagulantes como forma de prevenir a trombose vascular, o que piora o prognóstico visual.


Abstract To report the case of a patient with vaso-occlusive retinopathy due to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) associated with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APAS), which started with signs and symptoms of autoimune hemolytic anemia accompanied by sudden monocular visual loss. Few cases of SLE manifestation primarily involving ocular changes have been reported in the Brazilian and international literature. Screening for antiphospholipid antibodies is of the greatest importance for patients with lupus retinopathy, so that immediate therapy with anticoagulants may be instituted in order to prevent vascular thrombosis, which worsens the visual prognosis.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Urethral stricture is a common disease with high recurrence rate. Several manipulations were defined to prevent the recurrence but the results were disappointing. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of triamcinolone and mitomycin-C on urethral stricture formation and their effect on inhibition of urethral fibrosis. A total of 24 New Zealand rabbits were divided into 3 groups. Urethras of rabbits were traumatized with pediatric resectoscope. Resection area was irrigated with 10mL saline, swapped with a cotton wool soaked with 0.5mg/mL MMC and injected by 40mg triamcinolone in groups 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Retrograde urethrogram was performed at 28th day of procedure and the urethra was removed for histopathologic evaluation. There were significant differences in urethral diameters and in lumen reduction rate between the control and study groups (p<0.001). Compared to control group, all treatment groups showed mild fibrosis, less collagen bundle irregularity, and lower numbers of fibroblasts (p=0.003). The Tunnel assay showed that the number of apoptotic cells in the submucosal connective tissue was quantitatively higher in control groups (p=0.034). In the view of efficacy and safety, MMC and triamcinolone have the potential to replace the use of stents, clean intermittent catheterization, or long term catheters following internal urethrotomy. There were no statistically significant differences between two agents in terms of preventing urethral stricture formation in the present study. Mitomycin C and triamcinolone decreased the recurrence rates of urethral stricture.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO Objetivo: O objetivo desde estudo foi avaliar a efetividade da triancinolona intra-vítrea e da clorpromazina retrobulbar como alternativas no manejo da dor ocular em olhos cegos. Métodos: Este foi um estudo prospectivo intervencionista não-randomizado de pacientes com olho cego doloroso não responsivo ao tratamento tópico e sem indicação de evisceração atendidos no Serviço de Oftalmologia do Hospital Governador Celso Ramos no ano de 2010. Após exame oftalmológico e ultrassonografia ocular modo B, os pacientes foram divididos em dois grupos. Pacientes do Grupo 1 possuíam glaucoma intratável e receberam injeção retrobulbar de clorpromazina 2,5ml, e pacientes do Grupo 2 possuíam olhos phthisicos com componente inflamatório e receberam injeção intra-vítrea de triancinolona 0,3ml. Foram realizadas avaliações com 1, 3 e 6 meses após o procedimento e a dor quantificada de forma subjetiva em uma escala de 0 a 10 (sem dor e com o máximo de dor, respectivamente). Resultados: Foram incluídos 38 olhos, sendo 15 no Grupo 1 e 21 no Grupo 2. Houve predomínio do sexo masculino e idade média de 54 anos. A causa mais prevalente de olho cego doloroso foi o glaucoma neovascular. Tanto a injeção de clorpromazina retrobulbar quanto a de triancinolona intra-vítrea mostraram-se eficazes no controle da dor ocular em olhos cegos no período do estudo (p<0,001). Ocorreu uma redução de 77,1% no uso de colírios (p<0,01) após a aplicação das medicações. Conclusão: Tanto a injeção de clorpromazina retrobulbar quanto a de triancinolona intra-vítrea mostraram resultados significativos no controle da dor ocular em olhos cegos, além de uma redução no uso de colírios. A clorpromazina é um medicamento de baixo custo, com melhor perfil de efeitos adversos e mostrou resultados discretamente melhores relação à triancinolona. Possíveis viéses identificados no estudo são o de tempo e seleção.


ABSTRACT Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of intravitreal triamcinolone and retrobulbar chlorpromazine as alternatives in the management of ocular pain in blind eyes. Methods: This was a non-randomized interventional prospective study of patients with painful blind eye unresponsive to topical treatment and without indication of evisceration treated at the Hospital Governador Celso Ramos Ophthalmology Service in 2010. After ocular examination and ocular B mode ultrasound, patients were divided into two groups. Group 1 patients had intractable glaucoma and received retrobulbar injection of chlorpromazine 2.5ml, and Group 2 patients had phthisics eyes with inflammatory component and received intravitreal triamcinolone injection 0.3ml. Evaluations were performed at 1, 3 and 6 months after the procedure and quantified pain subjectively on a scale from 0 to 10 (no pain and maximum pain, respectively). Results: 38 eyes were included, 15 in Group 1 and 21 in Group 2. There was a predominance of males with a mean age of 54 years. The most prevalent cause of painful blind eye was the neovascular glaucoma. Any retrobulbar injection of chlorpromazine as the intravitreal triamcinolone shown to be effective in the control of ocular pain in the eye blind study period (p <0.001). There was a 77.1% reduction in eye drops (p <0.01) after application of medication. Conclusion: Both the retrobulbar injection chlorpromazine as the intravitreal triamcinolone showed significant results in the control of ocular pain in blind eyes, and a reduction in the use of eye drops. Chlorpromazine is a low cost product, with a better adverse effect profile and showed slightly better results compared to triamcinolone. Potential bias identified in the study are the time and selection.

ABSTRACT

Macular cystoid edema is one of the major causes of decreased vision after cataract surgery. The inflammatory process appears to be the main causal factor of the edema. The major risk factors are: surgical complications, previous retinal diseases, diabetes, uveitis and use of prostaglandins drops. The diagnosis is clinically, but fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography are also important to detect swelling and assist in differential diagnosis. Although pre-operative prophylaxis do not have scientific evidence, it is recommended especially in cases with risk factors. The initial treatment includes a combination of both topic corticosteroid and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory. Chronic and refractory cases can be managed with alternatives treatment, such as intravitreal triamcinolone and anti-angiogenic. This article aims to discuss various aspects of pseudophakic macular cystoid edema.


O edema macular cistoide é uma das principais causas de baixa de visão após cirurgia de catarata. O processo inflamatório parece ser o principal fator causal do edema. São considerados fatores de risco complicações cirúrgicas, doenças retinianas prévias, diabetes, uveítes e uso de colírios de prostaglandinas. O diagnóstico é feito clinicamente, mas a angiografia fluoresceínica e a tomografia de coerência óptica também são ferramentas importantes para detectar o edema e auxiliar no diagnóstico diferencial. Apesar da profilaxia pré-operatória não ter evidência científica, ela é preconizada especialmente nos casos com fatores de risco. O tratamento inicial é realizado com associação de corticoide e anti-inflamatório não hormonais tópicos. Os casos crônicos e refratários têm diversas alternativas de tratamento, sendo o uso de triancinolona e antiangiogênicos intravítreos as mais utilizadas. Este artigo se propõe a discutir diversos aspectos do edema macular cistoide pseudofácico.

ABSTRACT

We report a case of a 66-year-old man with a history of high myopia and who was referred for acute decreased visual acuity of the right eye. Fundus examination and optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed a mild epiretinal membrane (ERM) and splitting of retinal layers. Pars plana vitrectomy was performed with intravitreous triamcinolone injection, posterior hyaloid and ERM peeling, and 12% perfluoropropane (C3F8) gas tamponade. After remaining asymptomatic for 17 months, the patient reported a new episode of sudden decreased visual acuity in his right eye, and OCT showed recurrent myopic foveoschisis (MF). He underwent vitrectomy and internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling. Six months later, the patient’s best corrected visual acuity had improved to 20/25. Optical coherence tomography showed a remarkably improved macular anatomy, with residual traction along the inferotemporal arcade, which was attributed to the vessel stiffness itself. We conclude that removing the internal limiting membrane is a challenging maneuver in myopic foveoschisis, even with staining approaches. Although myopic foveoschisis may be resolved without peeling the internal limiting membrane, its removal should be considered if the condition recurs.


Relatamos caso de um homem de 66 anos, com antecedente de alta miopia, que referiu baixa de acuidade visual aguda no olho direito. O mapeamento de retina e o exame de tomografia de coerência óptica (OCT) mostraram discreta membrana epirretiniana (ERM) e isquise retiniana. Foi realizada vitrectomia via pars plana com injeção intravítrea de triancinolona, retirada da hialóide posterior, peeling da membrana epirretiniana e tamponamento com gás perfluorpropano (C3F8) a 12%. O paciente permaneceu assintomático por 17 meses, quando queixou-se de novo episódio de baixa de acuidade visual súbita no olho direito e o tomografia de coerência óptica mostrou recorrência da isquise miópica. Ele foi submetido a nova vitrectomia com peeling da membrana limitante interna (ILM). Após 6 meses, a acuidade visual corrigida era de 20/25. A tomografia de coerência óptica mostrou melhora importante da anatomia macular, com área de tração residual observada na arcada inferotemporal, que foi atribuída à rigidez do próprio vaso. A retirada da membrana limitante interna é uma manobra desafiadora em olhos alto míopes, mesmo estando corada. A resolução da isquise miópica pode ser atingida sem o peeling da membrana limitante interna, mas sua remoção deve ser considerada em casos de recorrência.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: determinar la eficacia del uso secuencial de clindamicina - triamcinolona intravítreas en el tratamiento de la toxoplasmosis retinal severa (definida como aquella que afecta la macula y/o el nervio óptico) y de las toxoplasmosis atípicas difusas. Métodos: se evaluaron prospectivamente 22 ojos de 22 pacientes con diagnóstico de toxoplasmosis retinal severa, manejados con clindamicina intravítrea (4,5mg/0,03 cc) seguida, una semana después, de la aplicación de triamcinolona intravítrea (4mgs/0,1 cc). La agudeza visual se midió y se convirtió a LogMAR y se realizó una comparación con la prueba de Wilcoxon para establecer diferencias. Resultados: el 82% (18 pacientes) de los ojos tratados con este esquema presentaron mejoria de la agudeza visual, el 9 % (2 pacientes), se estabilizaron, el 9% (2 pacientes), empeoraron después del tratamiento. Sin tratamiento, el 74% de los pacientes (16 pacientes) tenían visión menor a 20/200. Con el tratamiento, este porcentaje disminuyó al 26% (6 pacientes). La agudeza visual expresada en LogMAR cambió después del tratamiento, pasando de 1.05 antes del tratamiento a 0,51, con una significancia estadística valor de p=0.002. Luego del tratamiento, 12 de los 22 pacientes (54%), estaban por encima de 20/50, logrando 20/20 en tres casos y 20/25 en cinco casos. No se observaron casos de hipertensión ocular, y se reportaron cinco complicaciones durante el tratamiento. Conclusiones: el tratamiento de toxoplasmosis retinal severa con el esquema de clindamicina intravítrea seguida de triamcinolona intravítrea muestra resultados positivos. Este tratamiento se puede recomendar para casos de toxoplasmosis retinales severas, definidas como aquellas que comprometen mácula, nervio óptico o toxoplasmosis difusas atípicas.


Objective: to determine the efficacy of sequential use of intravitreal clindamycin - intravitreal triamcinolone in the treatment of retinal toxoplasmosis severe (defi ned as one that affects the macula and / or the optic nerve) and diffuse atypical toxoplasmosis. Methods: we prospectively evaluated 22 eyes of 22 patients diagnosed with severe retinal toxoplasmosis, managed with intravitreal clindamycin (4,5mg/0,03 cc) followed a week later, the application of intravitreal triamcinolone(4mgs/0,1 cc). Visual acuity was measured and converted to LogMAR. Comparisons were made using Wilcoxon test. Results: 82% (18 patients) of eyes treated with this system showed improved visual acuity, 9% (2 patients), stabilized, 9% (2 patients), worsened after treatment. Without treatment, 74% of patients (16 patients) had less than 20/200 vision. With treatment, this percentage decreased to 26% (6 patients). Visual acuity in LogMAR changed after treatment from 1,05 to 0,51 with statistical significance p=0,002. After treatment, 12 of 22 patients (54%) were above 20/50, 20/20 achieved in three cases and 20/25 in five cases. No cases of ocular hypertension and five complications were reported during treatment. Conclusions: The treatment of severe retinal toxoplasmosis with clindamycin scheme followed by intravitreal triamcinolone shows positive results. This treatment could be recommended for severe cases of retinal toxoplasmosis, defined as those that involve the macula, optic nerve, or diffuse atypical toxoplasmosis.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La oclusión de la vena central de la retina (OVCR) reduce las funciones individuales y la calidad de vida de aquellos individuos que la presentan; típicamente afecta a personas mayores y se considera que alrededor de un 90 % de los pacientes son mayores de 50 años al momento de inicio del cuadro. Es considerada la segunda causa más común de trastorno vascular de la retina después de la retinopatía diabética. Esta enfermedad puede conducir a pérdida visual severa a causa del edema o isquemia macular, hemorragia vítrea o glaucoma neovascular. Objetivo: examinar los beneficios y riesgos del uso de ranibizumab como uno de los criterios para informar la toma de decisiones relacionada con la posible inclusión de tecnologías en el Plan Obligatorio de Salud, en el marco de su actualización integral para el año 2015. Metodología la evaluación fue realizada de acuerdo con un protocolo definido a priori por el grupo desarrollador. Se realizó una búsqueda sistemática en MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects, LILACS y Google, sin restricciones de idioma, fecha de publicación y tipo de estudio. Las búsquedas electrónicas fueron hechas en noviembre de 2014 y se complementaron mediante búsqueda manual en bola de nieve y consulta con expertos temáticos. La tamización de referencias se realizó por dos revisores de forma independiente y los desacuerdos fueron resueltos por consenso. La selección de estudios fue realizada mediante la revisión en texto completo de las referencias preseleccionadas, verificando los criterios de elegibilidad predefinidos. Las características y hallazgos de los estudios fueron extraídos a partir de las publicaciones originales. Resultados: efectividad triamcinolona, ranibizumab, bevacizumab, aflibercept, tienen alta probabilidad de presentar cambios en la mejor agudeza visual corregida comparado con placebo y con implante intravítreo de dexametasona. Los pacientes tratados con triamcinolona 4mg DEM 9,42 (IC 95 % 3,46-15,38), ranibizumab 0,5 mg DEM 14,06 (IC 95 % 10,46-17,65), bevacizumab 1,25 mg DEM 15,69 (IC 95 % 5,86-25,47), aflibercept 2 mg DEM 17,46 (IC 95% 14,37-20,57), tienen alta probabilidad de presentar cambio en la mejor agudeza visual corregida cuando se comparan con placebo. Cambios en la tomografía de coherencia óptica (grosor de la retina) Al mes de seguimiento : se presentó disminución significativa a favor de los inhibidores de VEGF cuando se comparan con placebo DEM - 264,67 (IC 95 % -377,00 ; -152,35), con una heterogeneidad extremadamente alta I2 94 %. A los seis meses se presentó disminución significativa a favor de los inhibidores de VEGF cuando se comparan con placebo DEM -224,52 (IC 95 % -377,77; -111,27), con una heterogeneidad extremadamente alta I2 93 %. A los doce meses: No se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas. Conclusiones: efectividad triamcinolona, ranibizumab, bevacizumab, aflibercept, tienen alta probabilidad de presentar cambios en la mejor agudeza visual corregida comparado con placebo y con implante intravítreo de dexametasona. Además tienen alta probabilidad de ganar tres o más líneas comparado con placebo, así como, disminuir el grosor central de la retina. En relación con la seguridad del tratamiento para el edema macular secundario a oclusión de la vena central de la retina, se evidenció que el uso de corticoides como: la triamcinolona y la dexametasona incrementa la presión intraocular y la presencia de cataratas cuando se comparan con placebo; mientras que para los inhibidores de VEGF como: aflibercept, ranibizumab y bevacizumab no se reportaron de manera significativa eventos adversos oculares o sistémicos cuando se comparan con placebo. En esta revisión no se identificó evidencia que cumpliera con los criterios de inclusión para los desenlaces de grado de isquemia retiniana y mantenimiento de la ganancia en la agudeza visual, ni la comparación con láser.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Purpose: This study was designed to evaluate the visual and anatomical outcomes after cataract surgery in diabetic patients with different intraoperative therapeutic strategies. Methods: The research design comprised of a multicentric, retrospective, interventional study conducted at 6 centers in Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Spain, and Venezuela. We included 138 diabetic patients with at least 6-month follow-up following phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central subfield thickness were collected at baseline and at 1-, 2-, 3-, and 6-month follow-up. Of these, 42 cases were not treated with any intraoperative coadjuvant medication (Group 1), 59 patients received intraoperative bevacizumab (Group 2) and 37 patients received intraoperative triamcinolone (4 mg/0.1 ml) (Group 3). Results: The mean logMAR [± standard deviation (SD)] BCVA improved from 0.82 (± 0.43) at baseline, to 0.14 (± 0.23) at 6-month follow-up (p<0.001) in Group 1; from 0.80 (± 0.48) to 0.54 (± 0.45) (p<0.001) in Group 2; and from 1.0 (± 0.40) to 0.46 (± 0.34) (p<0.001) in Group 3. The mean central subfield thickness increased from 263.57 µm (± 35.7) at baseline to 274.57 µm (± 48.7) at 6-month follow-up (p=0.088) in Group 1; from 316.02 µm (± 100.4) to 339.56 µm (± 145.3) (p=0.184) in Group 2; and from 259.18 µm (± 97.9) to 282.21 µm (± 87.24) (p=0.044) in Group 3. Conclusion: Diabetic patients may significantly benefit from cataract surgery. This study provides evidence to support the use of intravitreal triamcinolone or bevacizumab at the time of cataract surgery in cases with pre-existent diabetic macular edema or moderate-severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy. .


Objetivo: Avaliar os resultados visuais e anatômicos após a cirurgia de catarata em pacientes diabéticos com estratégias terapêuticas intraoperatórias diferentes. Métodos: Estudo multicêntrico, retrospectivo, de intervenção realizado em 6 centros da Argentina, Brasil, Costa Rica, Porto Rico, Espanha e Venezuela. Foram incluídos 138 pacientes diabéticos com pelo menos 6 meses de seguimento após facoemulsificação com implante de lente intraocular. Acuidade visual melhor corrigida (BCVA) e a espessura subcampo central (CST ) foram coletadas no início e em 1, 2, 3 e 6 meses de seguimento. Destes, 42 casos não foram tratadas com qualquer co-adjuvante de medicamentos intra-operatório (Grupo 1), 59 pacientes receberam bevacizumab intraoperatório (Grupo 2), e 37 pacientes receberam triancinolona intraoperatória (4 mg/0,1 ml) (Grupo 3). Resultados: A média logMAR (± desvio-padrão [DP]) BCVA melhorou de 0,82 (± 0,43) no início do estudo, para 0,14 (± 0,23) aos 6 meses de seguimento (p<0,001) no Grupo 1; de 0,80 (± 0,48) para 0,54 (± 0,45) (p<0,001) no Grupo 2; e de 1,0 (± 0,40) para 0,46 (± 0,34) (p<0,001) no Grupo 3. A CST média aumentou de 263,57 µm (± 35,7) na linha de base para 274,57±48,7 µm em 6 meses acompanhamento (p=0,088) no Grupo 1; de 316,02 µm (± 100,4), para 339,56 µm (± 145,3) (p=0,184) no Grupo 2; e de 259,18 µm (± 97,9), para 282,21 µm (±87,24) (p=0,044) no grupo 3. Conclusões: Pacientes diabéticos podem se beneficiar significativamente da cirurgia de catarata. Este estudo parece fornecer evidências para apoiar o uso de triancinolona intravítrea ou bevacizumab no momento da cirurgia de catarata em casos com edema macular diabético preexistente (DME) ou retinopatia diabética não-proliferativa moderada a grave. .

Métodos: estudio prospectivo, intervencional, no comparativo, que incluyó a 16 pacientes con edema macular secundario a oclusión de rama venosa retiniana. El tratamiento consistió en inyección intravítrea de triamcinolona (hasta 3 dosis) y, de ponerse tercer retratamiento se realizó grid macular. La primera dosis se puso a los 3 meses de ocurrido el evento oclusivo y se les dio seguimiento por 12 meses. Se determinaron la mejor agudeza visual corregida, grosor foveal retinal y complicaciones. Resultados: se estudiaron 11 hombres (68,75 por ciento) y 5 mujeres (31,25 por ciento), con promedio de 60,1 años de edad. Del total de pacientes, 8 requirieron 1 dosis (50 por ciento), 5 necesitaron de 2 dosis (31,25 por ciento) y a 3 hubo de aplicarle 3 dosis (18,75 por ciento) más grid macular. La mejor agudeza visual con corrección inicial promedio fue de 0,29 (0,05-0,5) con una mejoría a 0,64 (0,05-1,0) a los 12 meses. El grosor foveal retinal inicial promedio fue de 551,38 (346-967) µm y disminuyó a 204,06 (112-449) µm, a los 12 meses. La complicación más frecuente fue la hipertensión ocular en 4 pacientes 25,0 por ciento). Conclusión: la inyección intravítrea de triamcinolona constituyó un tratamiento eficaz en el edema macular secundario a oclusión de rama venosa retiniana


Objectives: to evaluate the results of the treatment with intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide of a macular edema secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion. Methods: prospective, interventional and non-comparative study of 16 patients with macular edema secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion. The treatment consisted of intravitreal injection of triamcinolone (up to three doses) and if third retreatment was necessary, then macular grid was performed. The first dose was injected three months after occlusive event and followed-up for 12 months. The best corrected visual acuity, the retinal foveal thickness and the complications were determined.Results: eleven men (68.75 percent) and 5 women (31.25 percent) with average age of 60.1 years were studied. Of the total number of patients, 8 required one dose (50 percent), 5 needed two doses (31.25 percent) and 3 required three doses (18.75 percent) plus macular grid. The best initial corrected average visual acuity was 0.29 (0.05-0.5), which improved to 0.64(0.05-1.0) after 12 months. The initial average retinal foveal thickness was 551.38 (346-967) µm and decreased to 204.06 (112-449) µm after 12 months. The most frequent complication was ocular hypertension in 4 patients (25 percent). Conclusion: the intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide was an effective treatment of the macular edema secondary to the branch retinal vein occlusion

ABSTRACT

Estabelecer padrão evolutivo de um caso de esclerite nodular à ultrassonografia de alta frequência durante o tratamento. Mulher, 27 anos, com manifestação inicial de uveíte intermediária, edema macular bilateral após tratamento clínico com corticosteroide tópico e via oral. Após quatro meses, observou-se a formação de um nódulo escleral no olho direito quando foi submetido à ultrassonografia de alta frequência (Paradigm, transdutor de 50 MHz, técnica de imersão). A lesão do olho direito foi caracterizada à ultrassonografia de alta frequência como uma lesão nodular da parede anterior temporal inferior associada à redução localizada da espessura da escleral. Após a injeção intravítrea de triancinolona para tratamento do edema macular, observou-se a regressão clínica do nódulo escleral no olho direito, mantendo reduzida a espessura escleral. A ultrassonografia de alta frequência auxiliou no diagnóstico da esclerite nodular durante as fases de tratamento e na identificação da sua sequela característica, o afinamento escleral.


To stablish evolutionary pattern of a case of nodular scleritis with high frequency ultrasound during treatment. Twenty-seven year old female, initial manifestation of intermediate uveitis, bilateral macular edema after clinical treatment with topical and oral steroids. After four months, we observed the formation of a scleral nodule in the right eye when patient underwent high frequency ultrasound (Paradigm, 50 MHz transducer, immersion technique). The lesion in right eye was characterized at high frequency ultrasound as a nodular lesion located at the anterior inferior temporal wall associated with localized reduction of scleral thickness. After intravitreal injection of triamcinolone for treatment of macular edema, clinical regression of the scleral nodule was observed in right eye, maintaining reduced scleral thickness. High frequency ultrasound assisted in the diagnosis of nodular scleritis during the phases of treatment and in the identify its characteristic sequel feature, the scleral thinning.

ABSTRACT

We describe a clinical case involving a 62-year-old white male, diagnosed with lymphocytoma cutis (Spiegler-Fendt sarcoid) in the cephalic segment. The diagnosis was carried out by pathological study and confirmed by immunohistochemical panel: evidence of polyclonality. Phototherapy sessions were suggested as treatment (13 PUVA sessions, with an accumulated dose of 58.65 J/cm2 ). The improvement was partial. Thus, infiltration of triamcinolone was opted for (one intralesional infiltration every 3 weeks). After 5 sessions, satisfactory improvement was observed: regression of nearly all the lesions.


Relatamos um caso de um paciente de 62 anos, branco e com diagnóstico de linfocitoma cutis (Sarcoide de Spigler-Fendt) em segmento cefálico. O diagnóstico foi confirmado pelo histopatológico e reafirmado pelo painel imuno-histoquímico: evidência de policlonalidade. Sessões de fototerapia foram propostas como tratamento: 13 sessões de PUVA cuja dose acumulada foi de 58.65 J/cm2); a melhora foi parcial. Optado, então, por infiltrações de triancinolona (uma infiltração intralesional a cada 3 semanas). Na quinta sessão, satisfatória melhora já podia ser evidenciada: regressão de quase todas as lesões.

ABSTRACT

Se presenta el primer paciente con una tiroiditis de Riedel que se le aplica un tratamiento alternativo con triamcinolona creado por el profesor Juan Gualberto Vivó Núñez. Es el caso de una mujer de 48 años de edad, que acude al cuerpo de guardia por aumento de volumen de la región anterior del cuello y referir ligera disfagia. Tiene antecedente inicialmente de hipertiroidismo, a los 9 años comenzó con hipotiroidismo y hace aproximadamente un año se le diagnosticó una tiroiditis de Hashimoto, con seguimiento por endocrinología. La ecografía del tiroides muestra un aumento marcado de la glándula tiroidea y las imágenes de la biopsia por aspiración con aguja fina (BAAF) son compatibles con una tiroiditis de Hashimoto. Con estos resultados se decide intervenirla quirúrgicamente eliminando así los signos compresivos. La biopsia postoperatoria describe una tiroiditis de Riedel. Por el gran tamaño de los lóbulos tiroideos, se le infiltra triamcinolona 1/2 cc en cada lóbulo, una vez al mes durante cuatro meses; logrando reducir aproximadamente el 50 por ciento de los lóbulos tiroideos. Por lo que se puede apreciar los resultados obtenidos con el uso de la triamcinolona(AU)


The first case of Riedel's thyroiditis treated with triamcinolone, a method created by Professor Juan Gualberto Vivo Nunez, was presented. The patient was a 48 years-old woman who went to the emergency service because she presented increased volume of the anterior region of the neck and slight dysphagia. She had a history of hyperthyroidism, at 9 years of age began hypothyroidism and one year before going to emergency room, she was diagnosed with Hashimoto thyroiditis and followed-up in the endocrinology service. Thyroid echography showed marked increase of thyroid gland and the images from fine needle aspiration biopsy were compatible with the existence of Hashimoto thyroiditis. The results backed up the decision of operating her to eliminate the compressive signs. Postoperative biopsy described Riedel's thyroiditis. Since the thyroid lobes were big, it was decided to apply triamcinolone at a dose of ½ cc to each lobe once a month for 4 months. This treatment managed to reduce roughly 50 percent of thyroid lobes. This showed the good results obtained with the use of triamcinolone(AU)

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of preoperative intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) or triamcinolone (IVT) on the rate of early postvitrectomy hemorrhage in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). METHODS: Eligible eyes were assigned randomly to 1 of 3 groups: the IVB group received 1.25 mg bevacizumab, the IVT group received 4,0mg triamcinolone and the control group underwent a sham procedure. The primary outcome measure was the incidence of early postvitrectomy hemorrhage. Secondary outcome measures included changes in visual acuity (BCVA) and adverse events. RESULTS: Twenty and seven eyes, 9 in each group were randomized. The incidence of vitreous hemorrhage was lower in the IVB group (p=0.18). Postoperative vitreous hemorrhage at 1 month also was less in the IVB group compared with the control group (p > 0.05). The rate of bleeding immediately after surgery was higher in IVT group with 4 (44.4%) cases. The overall mean visual acuity was 1.72 ± 0.37 logMAR preoperatively and 1.32 ± 0.73 logMAR in 6 months after surgery. Accessing visual acuity by group evidenced that the IVB group had initial mean logMAR VA of 1.87 and 1.57 logMAR VA at the six months (p = 0.84). In IVT group, initial mean VA was 1.75 logMAR and 0.96 logMAR VA at six months (p < 0.001). And in control group, the initial mean VA was 1.85 logMAR and 1.57 logMAR VA at six months (p= 0.34). CONCLUSION: Intravitreal injection of bevacizumab 1 week before vitrectomy seems to reduce the incidence of early postvitrectomy hemorrhage in diabetic patients. There was a better visual acuity outcome in the triamcinolone group.


OBJETIVO: Avaliar o efeito no pré-operatório da injecao intravítrea de bevacizumab (IVB) ou triancinolona (IVT) sobre a taxa de hemorragia precoce pos-vitrectomia na retinopatia diabética proliferativa. MÉTODOS: Os olhos foram distribuídos em três grupos: IVB - 1,25 mg bevacizumab, IVT - 4,0 mg de triancinolona e o grupo controle - simulação da injeção. O objetivo primário foi a avaliação da incidência da hemorragia precoce pós-vitrectomia. Os objetivos secundários incluíram mudanças na acuidade visual corrigida e eventos adversos relacionados à injeção. RESULTADOS: Dos Vinte e sete olhos, 9 foram randomizados em cada grupo. A incidência de hemorragia vítrea foi menor no grupo IVB (P=0,18). A hemorragia vítrea em 1 mês também foi menor no grupo IVB (P > 0,05). A taxa de sangramento pós-operatório imediato foi maior no grupo IVT com 4 (44,4%) dos casos. A média da acuidade visual (AV) foi de 1,72 ± 0,37 logMAR no pré-operatório e 1,32 ± 0,73 logMAR em 6 meses após a cirurgia. Analisando a AV por grupo evidenciamos que o grupo IVB tinha inicialmente AV média logMAR de 1,87 e AV logMAR de 1,57 em seis meses (p = 0,84). No grupo IVT, a média inicial de AV foi de 1,75 logMAR e 0,96 logMAR em seis meses (p < 0,001). E no grupo controle, a média inicial foi de 1,85 logMAR e 1,57 logMAR no seis meses (p = 0,34). CONCLUSÃO: A injeção intravítrea de bevacizumab antes da vitrectomia parece diminuir a incidência de hemorragia vítrea precoce pós-vitrectomia em diabéticos. Houve um melhor resultado na acuidade visual no grupo da triancinolona.
