ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Describir la posible presencia de complicaciones posoperatorias en pacientes diabéticos tipo 2, operados de catarata por la técnica de facochop. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo, y longitudinal prospectivo, con 128 pacientes diabéticos (168 ojos) operados de catarata en el Centro de Microcirugía Ocular del Instituto Cubano de Oftalmología "Ramón Pando Ferrer", entre septiembre del año 2017 y diciembre de 2018. Las variables clínicas y epidemiológicas objeto del estudio fueron la edad, el sexo, el color de la piel, la queratometría, la profundidad de la cámara, la longitud axial, la dureza del cristalino, la presión intraocular pre- y posoperatoria y las complicaciones posoperatorias en las primeras 72 horas. Resultados: En el estudio predominaron las mujeres (63,3 por ciento), de piel blanca (74,2 por ciento), quienes presentaron ojos biométricamente normales, con una diferencia estadísticamente significativa. La presión intraocular aumentó a las 24 horas de la cirugía. De los 128 pacientes diabéticos tipo 2 operados de catarata senil por la técnica de facochop, se pudo determinar que el promedio y la desviación estándar de la edad se ubicaron en los 69,49 ± 8,96 años, y osciló entre los 50 y 88 años. Conclusiones: Las complicaciones posoperatorias más frecuentes son el edema corneal y la uveítis. Es significativamente más probable encontrar la uveítis posquirúrgica en pacientes menores de 70 años, y el edema corneal en quienes sobrepasan esta edad(AU)


Objective: Describe the possible presence of postoperative complications in type 2 diabetic patients undergoing phaco chop cataract surgery. Methods: An observational prospective longitudinal descriptive study was conducted of 128 diabetic patients (168 eyes) undergoing cataract surgery at the Center for Ocular Microsurgery of Ramón Pando Ferrer Cuban Institute of Ophthalmology from September 2017 to December 2018. The clinical and epidemiological variables analyzed were age, sex, skin color, keratometry, chamber depth, axial length, crystalline hardness, pre- and postoperative intraocular pressure, and postoperative complications in the first 72 hours. Results: A predominance was found of women (63.3 percent) of white skin color (74.2 percent) and biometrically normal eyes, with a statistically significant difference. Intraocular pressure rose 24 hours after surgery. Mean age and standard deviation were 69.49 ± 8.96 years, range of 50-88 years, in the 128 type 2 diabetic patients undergoing senile cataract surgery by the phaco chop technique. Conclusions: The most common postoperative complications are corneal edema and uveitis. It is significantly more probable to find postsurgical uveitis in patients aged under 70 years and corneal edema in patients aged over 70 years(AU)

ABSTRACT

Los anticuerpos dirigidos contra el aparato de Golgi fueron inicialmente descritos en un paciente con Síndrome de Sjögren en 1982. Estos anticuerpos forman parte de los anticuerpos antinucleares y producen un patrón característico en las células Hep-2. Desde su descubrimiento no se ha logrado establecer ninguna asociación clara con alguna enfermedad autoinmune y/o manifestación clínica. En el presente artículo se reporta el primer caso de anticuerpos antinucleares por fluorescencia (Fana) positivo con un patrón polar/sugestivo de anti-Golgi en Guatemala encontrado en el Laboratorio de Inmunología-Autoinmunidad del Hospital Roosevelt en un paciente masculino con una uveítis en el ojo derecho y que presentó pruebas de laboratorio positivas para toxoplasma, rubeola IgG, citomegalovirus, y herpes 1 y 2. Este patrón ha sido encontrado en personas con diferentes enfermedades autoinmunes pero no se ha logrado establecer asociación con alguna enfermedad en particular.


The anti-Golgi complex antibodies were first described in a patient with Sjögren Syndrome in 1982. These antibodies are part of the antinuclear antibodies and they have a characteristic staining pattern in Hep-2 cells. They have not been associated with any autoimmune disease and/or clinical manifestation. In the present case we report the first nuclear antibodies (ANA) with a staining pattern polar/anti-Golgi-like founded in the Immunology-Autoimmunity Laboratory at Roosevelt Hospital in a male patient with an uveitis on the right eye and positive IgG serology for toxoplasma, rubella, cytomegalovirus and herpes 1 and 2. This pattern has been founded in patients with different autoimmune diseases, but they haven´t been associated with a disease.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate the response to sub-Tenon's triamcinolone injection in patients with uveitis. Methods: We studied 28 eyes with macular edema associated with controlled uveitis. We administered sub-Tenon's injection of triamcinolone and followed the patients for 180 days to analyze the positive effects (improvement of macular edema and visual acuity) and monitor the possible adverse effects. This prospective study was conducted at the Department of Ophthalmology, Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre, Brazil. Results: We observed improvement in macular edema in 86% of patients. The mean central macular thickness at each time point of assessment was 432.22, 298.80, 286.37, 267.49, 253.87, and 253.49 mm at baseline (before sub-Tenon's injection of triamcinolone), 15 days after the procedure, at 30 days, at 60 days, at 90 days, and at 180 days, respectively. The mean reduction in retinal thickness was 30.8%, 33.7%, 38.11%, 41.2%, and 41.35% at 15, 30, 60, 90, and 180 days of follow-up, respectively. Visual acuity also improved in 85.7% of patients, with a mean improvement of 1.36, 1.93, 2.23, 2.26, and 2.30 lines gained on the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study chart at 15, 30, 60, 90, and 180 days of follow-up, respectively. No statistically significant increases in intraocular pressure and conjunctival abnormalities were caused by the procedure, and no other adverse effects were observed. Overall, the results of this study were similar to those described in the literature. Conclusions: Sub-Tenon's injection of triamcinolone provides reduced macular thickness and improvement in visual acuity with no significant adverse effects and is therefore an effective and safe procedure for the treatment of sequelae of uveitis.


RESUMO Objetivos: Avaliar os efeitos da injeção subtenoniana de triancinolona em pacientes com uveítes. Métodos: Foram incluídos na avaliação 28 olhos com edema macular associado à uveíte. Esses pacientes foram submetidos à injeção subtenoniana de triancinolona e acompanhados ao longo de 180 dias, para analisar os efeitos em relação à melhora do edema macular, da acuidade visual e acompanhamento de possíveis efeitos adversos. Trata-se de um estudo prospectivo, realizado no Serviço de Oftalmologia do Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre. Resultados: Foi verificada melhora do edema macular em 86% dos pacientes, sendo uma redução média da espessura retiniana de 30,8% aos 15 dias, 33,7% aos 30 dias, 38,11% aos 60 dias, 41,2% aos 90 dias e 41,35% aos 180 dias de seguimento. Também foi observado melhora da acuidade visual em 85,7% dos pacientes e ganho de linhas na tabela de acuidade visual, sendo 1,36 linhas aos 15 dias de seguimento, 1,93 linhas aos 30 dias, 2,23 linhas aos 60 dias, 2,26 linhas aos 90 dias e 2,30 linhas aos 180 dias. Não houve significância estatística em relação ao aumento da pressão intraocular e às alterações conjuntivais causadas pelo procedimento, sem detecção de qualquer outro efeito colateral. Foi concluído que os resultados encontrados nesse estudo são similares aos descritos na literatura. Conclusões: A injeção subtenoniana de triancinolona é um procedimento eficaz e seguro para o tratamento das sequelas por quadros de uveítes, proporcionando redução da espessura macular e melhora da acuidade visual, sem relação com efeitos adversos significativos.

ABSTRACT

O presente trabalho objetivou avaliar os resultados de 34 olhos submetidos ao enxerto conjuntival pediculado (ECP) em ceratites ulcerativas profundas (n=5), em ceratites ulcerativas com colagenólise (n=2), descemetocele (n=7), perfuração corneal (n=15) e prolapso de íris (n=5). Os impactos do grau de uveíte e da integridade da córnea foram correlacionados com presença e ausência de visão por tabelas de contingência. Raças braquicefálicas foram acometidas em 91,11% dos casos. O número de córneas consideradas perfuradas [20/34 (58,82%)] foi maior que o de córneas íntegras [14/34 (41,17%)]. Ao 50º dia de pós-operatório, o número de olhos visuais que apresentavam córneas íntegras previamente às cirurgias (n=13) não diferiu significativamente dos olhos com córneas perfuradas (n=12) (P=0,05). Avaliações relativas ao grau de uveíte, revelaram que a metade dos casos foi considerada severa [17/34 (50%)] e na outra metade as uveítes foram consideradas discretas. Dos 17 casos que apresentaram uveíte severa, oito recuperaram a visão. Já nos 17 olhos onde a uveíte foi considerada leve, 15 mantiveram a visão ao final do período de avaliação. Apesar de a integridade da córnea não se correlacionar com a severidade da uveíte (P=0,48), constatou-se que o número de olhos visuais com uveíte discreta foi significativamente maior que os olhos com uveíte severa (P=0,006). Neste estudo, a taxa geral de sucesso visual após ECP foi de 73,52% e a integridade da córnea não exerceu impacto significativo sobre a manutenção da visão. Todavia, olhos acometidos por uveítes severas apresentaram menor chance de recuperar a visão.(AU)


The present study aimed to evaluate the results of 34 eyes of dogs presenting deep corneal ulcer (n=5), colagenolytic corneal ulcer (n=2), descemetocele (n=7), corneal perforation (n=15), and iris prolapse (n=5) that were corrected by the bulbar conjuntival pedicle graft (CPG). The uveitis score and the corneal integrity were correlated with the presence or absence of vision by contingency tables. Brachycephalic breeds accounted for 91.11% of all cases. The number of perforated corneas [20/34 (58.82%)] were higher than the non-perforated ones [14/34 (41.17%)]. At post-operative day 50, the number of visual eyes with non-perforated corneas before surgery (n=13) did not differ significantly from the eyes with perforated corneas (n=12) (P = 0.05). In half of the cases, uveitis score was considered severe [17/34 (50%)], and in the other half, mild. Eight out of 17 eyes classified with severe uveitis regained vision. In 17 eyes where uveitis score was considered mild, 16 regained vision at the end of the study. Although corneal integrity was non-correlated with the uveitis score (P = 0.48), the number of visual eyes scored with mild uveitis were significantly larger than the eyes with severe uveitis (P = 0.006). In this study, the overall success visual rate after CPG was 73,52% % and the corneal integrity did not play an important role regarding maintenance of vision. However, eyes presenting severe uveitis score had less chance to regain vision.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Resumo Objetivo: Analisar a distribuição dos casos de uveíte em pacientes atendidos no Setor de Uveíte do Serviço de Oftalmologia do Hospital Federal Servidores do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Métodos: Estudo epidemiológico retrospectivo, transversal e descritivo pela análise de prontuários de 63 pacientes atendidos no Serviço de Oftalmologia do Hospital Federal dos Servidores do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, no Setor de Uveíte, no período de Março a Outubro de 2016. Resultados: A média de idade foi de 45,54 (±15,8), sendo 50,8% do sexo feminino e 49,2% do masculino. Uveítes anteriores corresponderam à 63,49% dos casos, intermediárias 1,58% posterior 19,04% e panuveíte 15,87%. Apenas 33,3% dos pacientes encontravam-se com processo inflamatório ativo no momento da avaliação. Cerca de 74,6% das uveítes tinham causas não infecciosas e em 12,69% não foi possível a determinação etiológica. A causa isolada mais frequente foi Espondilite Anquilosante, responsável por 28,57% dos casos. Demonstrou-se que 55,5% dos pacientes tinham acometimento bilateral e 71,14% apresentavam uveíte não granulomatosa. Conclusões: Estudos epidemiológicos que tratam de uveíte são, em geral, realizados em centros terciários de atendimento, que por vezes apresentam perfil etiológico destas inflamações intra-oculares diferente da população geral.


Abstract Objective: To analyze the distribution of uveitis in patients at Uveitis Sector of Federal Hospital of Servants of Rio de Janeiro State. Methods: Retrospective epidemiological study of 63 appointments performed by ophthalmologist of Uveitis Sector at Federal Hospital of Servants of Rio De Janeiro State, between March and October of 2016. Results: The mean age was 45.54 (±15.8). 50.5% were female. Anterior uveitis corresponded to 63.49%. Only 33.3% of patient had an active inflammation at the moment of medical avaliation. 74.6% of uveitis had non-infeccious causes, and in 12.69% the etiology could not be determined. Ankylosing spondylitis was the most frequent cause, responsible for 28.57% of cases. 55.5% of patients had a bilateral uveitis, and 71.14% non-granulomatous uveitis. Conclusions: Epidemiological studies about uveitis are usually made in terciary hospitals, which do not reflect the epidemiological profile of population in general.

ABSTRACT

El síndrome de nefritis tubulointersticial y uveítis es una causa infrecuente de disfunción renal aguda en los adultos. El diagnóstico puede hacerse difícil, pues con frecuencia no coinciden temporalmente los síntomas oculares y renales. Se presentaron dos casos de síndrome de nefritis tubulointersticial y uveítis en adultos, con evolución favorable con tratamiento esteroideo sistémico(AU)


Tubulointerstitial nephritis syndrome and uveitis is an uncommon cause of acute renal dysfunction in adults. The diagnosis can be difficult, as ocular and renal symptoms often do not coincide temporarily. Two cases of tubulointerstitial nephritis syndrome and uveitis in adults, with favorable evolution with systemic steroid treatment are presented in this paper(AU)

ABSTRACT

La uveítis intermedia es una enfermedad ocular caracterizada por la inflamación de la úvea, principalmente el vítreo anterior, la retina periférica y la pars plana. Diversas etiologías de carácter infeccioso, inflamatorio sistémico y local pueden asociarse a dicho fenómeno. Un cuadro infrecuente es el síndrome de nefritis túbulo-intersticial aguda asociado a uveítis. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 64 años con antecedente de tiroiditis de Hashimoto, que desarrolló pérdida brusca de la agudeza visual en contexto de falla renal aguda. Se trata de una paciente con nefritis túbulo-intersticial aguda asociada a uveítis.


Intermediate uveitis is described as inflammation in the anterior vitreous, ciliary body and the peripheral retina. It is a subset of uveitis where the vitreous is the major site of damage. It has been reported to be associated with many local and systemic inflammatory and infectious diseases. An infrequent cause is the tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis syndrome. We report a case of an acute visual acuity loss related with renal failure in a 64 years old woman with Hashimoto disease. It was an acute tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis syndrome case.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To identify the frequency and causes of uveitis leading to visual impairment in patients referred to the Low Vision Service - Department of Ophthalmology - UNIFESP, over a twenty years period. METHODS: In a retrospective study, medical records of 5,461 patients were reviewed. Data from the first clinical evaluation at the Low Vision Service were collected, patient's age, gender and cause of visual impairment were analyzed. Patients with uveitis had their chart reviewed for anatomical classification and clinical diagnosis. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients referred to the Low Vision Service was 42.86 years and the mean age of patients with uveitis diagnosis was 25.51 years. Retinal disorders were the most common cause of visual impairment (N=2,835 patients; 51.9%) followed by uveitis (862 patients, 15.7%). Uveitis was posterior in 792 patients (91.9% of uveitis) and toxoplasmosis was the most common diagnosis (765 patients, 88.7%). CONCLUSIONS: In our study, uveitis represents the second cause of visual impairment in patients referred for visual rehabilitation and toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis was the most common clinical diagnosis. It affects a young working age population with a relevant social and economic impact, but the early diagnosis and treatment can improve the quality of life of these patients.


OBJETIVO: Identificar a frequência e as causas de uveítes que resultam em deficiência visual, em pacientes encaminhados ao Serviço de Visão Sub-Normal do Departamento de Oftalmologia - UNIFESP, durante um período de 20 anos. MÉTODOS: Em um estudo retrospectivo foram revisados 5.461 prontuários. Foram coletados os dados da primeira avaliação clínica realizada no Setor de Visão Sub-Normal, que inclui idade do paciente, sexo e a causa da deficiência visual. Os registros clínicos dos pacientes com diagnóstico de uveíte foram revisados para classificação anatômica e diagnóstico. RESULTADOS: A média de idade dos pacientes encaminhados para o Setor de Visão Sub-Normal foi de 42.86 anos e a média de idade dos pacientes com diagnóstico de uveíte foi de 25.51 anos. As doenças retinianas foram as causas mais comuns de deficiência visual (N=2.835 pacientes; 51.9%), seguida por uveítes (N=862 pacientes, 15.7%). Foi observado uveíte posterior em 792 pacientes (91.9% dos casos de uveíte) e, dentre estes, toxoplasmose foi o diagnóstico mais comum (765 pacientes, 88.7%). CONCLUSÕES: Em nosso estudo, uveíte representa a segunda causa de deficiência visual nos pacientes encaminhados para reabilitação visual e retinocoroidite por toxoplasmose foi o diagnóstico clínico mais comum. Uveíte afeta uma população jovem e em idade laboral, portanto com relevante impacto social e econômico, mas o diagnóstico e tratamento precoce podem melhorar a qualidade de vida destes pacientes.

ABSTRACT

A 32-year-old male who had infective endocarditis complained of photophobia and blurred vision in both eyes. Biomicroscopic examination and fundus examination revealed anterior chamber reaction, vitritis, optic disc swelling, and Roth spots. He was diagnosed with bilateral nongranulomatous uveitis and treated with topical steroid eye drops and posterior sub-Tenon injection of triamcinolone. His visual symptoms were resolved within 1 week, and inflammation resolved within 4 weeks after treatment.

ABSTRACT

A 33-year-old woman complained of unilateral eyelid edema and blurred vision. Initial ophthalmic examination disclosed anterior chamber reaction with keratic precipitates on the cornea, without posterior abnormalities. Anterior uveitis was treated. Despite that, patient showed rapidly progressive unilateral vision loss with optic nerve swelling. Systemic workup was inconclusive, as well as cranial magnetic resonance imaging and cerebrospinal fluid examination. Based on the hypothesis of optic neuritis, intravenous methylprednisolone pulse was performed with no success. During the following days, the patient presented pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade, progressing to death. Necropsy was performed and diagnosis of extranodal natural killers/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type with ocular involvement was confirmed by immunohistochemistry.


Paciente feminina de 33 anos apresentando edema palpebral unilateral com baixa acuidade visual. Ao exame oftalmológico inicial apresentava reação de câmara anterior com precipitados ceráticos corneano, sem alterações no fundo de olho. Foi instituído tratamento para uveíte anterior e solicitado exames sistêmicos para investigação. Após alguns dias, paciente apresentou piora da acuidade visual, com edema de disco óptico unilateral. Sendo então solicitada ressonância nuclear magnética de crânio. Ambos exames de imagem e investigação sistêmica foram inconclusivos. Em vista da piora progressiva da acuidade visual e sob hipótese diagnóstica de neurite óptica, foi iniciado pulso intravenoso de metilprednisolona por 3 dias sem sucesso. A paciente apresentou dos dias seguintes, derrame pericárdico e tamponamento cardíaco, evoluindo para óbito. A necrópsia confirmou o diagnóstico de linfoma extranodal de células T e natural killers do tipo nasal com envolvimento ocular, através de imunoistoquímica.

ABSTRACT

A 13-year-old male and a 15-year-old female presented with optic disc edema associated with chronic recurrent uveitis. While the ocular inflammation responded to high doses of oral prednisolone, the disc edema showed little improvement. After oral administration of methotrexate, the disc edema and ocular inflammation were resolved, and the dose of oral corticosteroid could be reduced.

ABSTRACT

Complicated glaucomas present considerable diagnostic and management challenges. Response to treatment can be unpredictable or reduced compared with other glaucomas. However, target intraocular pressure and preservation of vision may be achieved with selected medical, laser and surgical treatment. The evidence for such treatment is expanding and consequently affords clinicians a better understanding of established and novel techniques. Herein we review the mechanisms involved in the development of complicated glaucoma and the current evidence supporting its management.

ABSTRACT

Glaucoma is seen in about 20% of the patients with uveitis. Anterior uveitis may be acute, subacute, or chronic. The mechanisms by which iridocyclitis leads to obstruction of aqueous outflow include acute, usually reversible forms [e.g., accumulation of inflammatory elements in the intertrabecular spaces, edema of the trabecular lamellae, or angle closure due to ciliary body swelling] and chronic forms [e.g., scar formation or membrane overgrowth in the anterior chamber angle]. Careful history and follow-up helps distinguish steroid-induced glaucoma from uveitic glaucoma. Treatment of combined iridocyclitis and glaucoma involves steroidal and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents and antiglaucoma drugs. However, glaucoma drugs can often have an unpredictable effect on intraocular pressure [IOP] in the setting of uveitis. Surgical intervention is required in case of medical failure. Literature on the Medline database was searched using the PubMed interface

ABSTRACT

This prospective observational case series study included 6 eyes of 6 consecutive glaucomatous patients. Each patient underwent trabeculectomy with mitomycin C, and received a 1.25 mg of subconjunctival bevacizumab injection at completion of the trabeculectomy. Study eyes included two with neovascular glaucoma, three with uveitic glaucoma, and one with secondary glaucoma following vitrectomy. All eyes had undergone failed glaucoma laser/surgical treatment or an intraocular surgical procedure. Intraocular pressure (IOP) at the following postoperative visits: preoperative, 1 week, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, and 6 months, was measured. We also evaluated postoperative bleb findings and complications. IOP measured at each visit was 37.5+/-14.4 mmHg, 6.2+/-3.4 mmHg, 8.3+/-7.2 mmHg, 12.0+/-4.4 mmHg, 10.8+/-3.1 mmHg, and 12.2+/-3.3 mmHg, respectively, for each visit. All eyes had functioning blebs with normal IOP at postoperative 6 months with no additional IOP-lowering medication.

ABSTRACT

Choroidal neovascularization [CNV] can be a severe sight-threatening sequel, which can be secondary to both infectious and noninfectious uveitis. This review summarizes the different disese associated with CNV, highlighting new treatment modalities and the possible strategies, which could be applied for the therapy of this occurrence. Since CNV can often originate from posterior pole lesions and can be hard to identify, an accurate examination is mandatory in order to identify the correct diagnosis. In the majority of cases fluorescein angiography [FA], indocyanine green angiography [ICGA] and optical coherence tomography [OCT] enable the determination of the clinical characteristics strategy for CNV secondary to noninfectious uveal inflammations should be directed at controlling the inflammatory process. Systemic corticosteroids with or without immunosuppressive agents are indicated even when the CNV occurs with apparently inactive uveitis: Chronic subclinical inflammation can be the basis for the pathogenesis of CNV. Additional therapies aimed directly at the neovascular process, such as the intravitreal anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor [VEGF] agents, are recommended particularly when the therapy shows an insufficient response. CNV secondary to uveitis is a severe sequela leading to significant visual impairment. ICGA is mandatory in order to obtain relevant information about the choroidal status. Several therapeutic options have been considered, but no guidelines are provided at the moment. Moreover, the current data are still only based on case reports or small series. For such reasons, further trials are mandatory to validate the preliminary available results

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: Evaluar los resultados de la facoemulsificación y el implante de lente intraocular en cataratas causadas por uveítis. Métodos: Se estudiaron 37 ojos con 6 meses de inactividad inflamatoria, agudeza visual menor de 0,6 y edad media de 47 años. Se excluyeron otras enfermedades que disminuyeran la visión. En el preoperatorio se prescribió antiinflamatorios. Se realizó la facoemulsificación con implante de lente intarocular (PMMA, óptica 6 mm); durante el seguimiento desde 24 h/6 meses se indicó antiinflamatorios esteroideos, no esteroideos e inmunosupresores hasta 6 semanas. Resultados: Se observaron numerosas alteraciones del segmento anterior secundarias a las uveítis padecidas (posquirúrgicas, inespecíficas, ciclítis heterocrómica de Fuchs, postraumáticas, síndrome de Reiter, por toxoplasmosis y otras coroiditis infecciosas y por artritis reumatoide juvenil). No hubo recurrencia posquirúrgica de la uveítis en 9 ojos (24,3 por ciento). Las complicaciones estuvieron relacionadas con la uveítis, la cirugía, la actividad inflamatoria, y la reacción del epitelio capsular. La opacidad capsular posterior apareció en 11 pacientes (29,7 por ciento) asociada a edad joven. La evolución individual se consideró satisfactoria en 30 (81,1 por ciento) pacientes con mejoría de la visión hasta 0,8-1,0 en 28 (75,6 por ciento) y 0,5-0,6 en 2 (5,4 por ciento). Conclusiones: La facoemulsificación con implante de lente intarocular es de gran utilidad en las cataratas posuveítis al condicionar poca agresión quirúrgica, ser controlable la inflamación y proporcionar buenos resultados visuales además del reordenamiento anatomofisiológico del segmento anterior.


Objective: To assess the results of phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation in cataracts caused by uveitis. Methods: Thirty seven eyes with no inflammation for 6 months, visual acuity below 0.6 and average age of 47 years were studied. Other diseases affecting the vision were excluded. The preoperative treatment indicated anti-inflammatory drugs. Phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation was performed (PMMA, optic 6 mm); during the follow-up period of 24 hours to 6 months, steroidal anti-inflammatory, non-steroids and immunosuppressive drugs were prescribed to patients for 6 weeks. Results: A number of alterations were observed in the anterior segment secondary to uveitis (postsurgical, unspecific, Fuch´s heterochromic cyclitis, postraumatic, Reiter´s syndrome, caused by toxoplasmosis and other infectious choroiditis and by juvenile rheumatoid arthritis). No postsurgical recurrence of uveitis was found in 9 eyes (24.3 percent). The complications were related to uveitis, surgery, inflammatory activity and capsular epithelium reaction. Posterior capsular opacity occurred in 11 patients (29.7 percent) associated to younger age. Individual recovery was satisfactory in 30 (81.1 percent) patients who improved their vision, that is, 0.8-1.0 in 28 and 0.5-0.6 in 2 (5.4 percent) patients. Conclusions: Phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation is very useful to treat cataract after uveitis since surgical reaction is low, inflammation is under control and good results are achieved in addition to anatomophysiological rearrangement of the anterior segment.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Descrever os resultados da cirurgia de catarata pela técnica de facoemulsificação em pacientes com uveíte. MÉTODOS: Foi realizado estudo retrospectivo pela análise de prontuários de 189 pacientes (242 olhos) com uveíte que foram submetidos a cirurgia de catarata pela técnica de facoemulsificação no Setor de Uveítes e Imunologia Ocular do Royal Victoria Hospital, McGill University Health Centre, Montreal, Quebec, Canadá. Os dados foram coletados em fichas protocoladas com informações sobre sexo, idade, classificação da uveíte, descrição cirúrgica e exames pré e pós-operatórios. Os exames pré e pós-operatórios continham informações sobre a data do exame, a melhor acuidade visual corrigida, o exame biomicroscópico, a pressão intra-ocular, os procedimentos realizados e o tratamento em uso. RESULTADOS: A média de acompanhamento pós-operatório foi de 46,8 ± 31,2 meses. A média da acuidade visual pré-operatória encontrada foi de 20/100 e a média de acuidade visual pós-operatória encontrada foi de 20/40. Encontramos 145 olhos (59,5 por cento) com acuidade visual melhor ou igual a 20/40 e 26 olhos com piora da acuidade visual. A complicação per-operatória mais encontrada foi a ruptura de cápsula posterior com perda vítrea observada em 7 olhos (3 por cento do total de olhos). A recorrência da uveíte foi a complicação pós-operatória mais freqüente, sendo observada em 73 olhos (30,16 por cento). Outras complicações pós-operatórias observadas foram a atrofia iriana (28,51 por cento), hipertensão intra-ocular (28,09 por cento), membrana epirretiniana (26,44 por cento), opacidade de cápsula posterior (19 por cento), edema macular cistóide (13,63 por cento), hipotonia ocular (12,80 por cento), atrofia do disco óptico (8,67 por cento) e sinéquias posteriores (6,61 por cento). CONCLUSÕES: A cirurgia de catarata pela técnica de facoemulsificação é considerada segura e eficaz em pacientes com uveíte. Observamos um bom prognóstico visual no período...


PURPOSE: To report outcomes of cataract extraction by phacoemulsification in patients with uveitis. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 189 patients (242 eyes) with uveitis who underwent cataract extraction by phacoemulsification at the Uveitis and Ocular Immunology Unit of McGill University Health Centre, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. RESULTS: Average follow-up was 46 ± 31.2 months. Average preoperative visual acuity was 20/100 and average postoperative visual acuity was 20/40. Hundred and forty-six eyes (59.9 percent) attained visual acuity better than 20/40. Visual loss occurred in 26 eyes. The most common peroperative complication was posterior capsule rupture with vitreous loss seen in 7 eyes (3 percent). Recurrence of uveitis was the most common postoperative complication seen in 73 eyes (30.16 percent). Other postoperative complications included iris atrophy (28.51 percent), ocular hypertension (28.09 percent), epiretinal membrane (26.44 percent), posterior capsule opacification (19 percent), cystoid macular edema (13.63 percent), ocular hypotony (12.80 percent), optic disc atrophy (8.67 percent) and posterior synechiae (6.61 percent). CONCLUSIONS: Cataract extraction by phacoemulsification is safe in patients with uveitis. Successful visual results are observed in long-term follow-up despite the prevalence of recurrence of uveitis, posterior capsule opacification and macular abnormalities. To the best of our knowledge this is the largest series presented to date.

ABSTRACT

A infecção por Herpes simplex vírus (HSV) é causa freqüente de inflamação intra-ocular ou uveíte anterior. A hipertensão ocular é característica comumente observada nas ceratouveítes herpéticas. Neste relato descrevemos o acúmulo de fluido e descolamento do "flap" corneano da ceratomileusis, no pós-operatório tardio de LASIK (28 meses), associado a quadro hipertensivo ocular secundário a ceratouveíte herpética. Este achado corrobora a suposição que a cicatrização corneana após LASIK seja apenas parcial e o espaço virtual produzido pela ceratomileuisis permaneça indefinidamente. Condições de aumento excessivo da pressão intra-ocular podem causar edema corneano com acúmulo de fluido da interface.


Herpes simplex virus infection is a frequent cause of intraocular inflammation or anterior uveitis. Ocular hypertension is a common feature in herpetic keratouveitis. We describe a fluid accumulation and flap displacement in late postoperative period (28 months) of LASIK associated with ocular hypertension caused by herpetic keratouveitis. This finding supports the theory that flap attachment after LASIK is only partial and the virtual space remains indefinitely. The presence of ocular hypertension may lead to corneal edema and fluid accumulation in the interface.

ABSTRACT

Relata-se o caso de um bovino com, aproximadamente, seis horas de vida, apresentando histórico de febre, apatia, inapetência e desconforto ocular. No exame oftálmico rotineiro, encontraram-se valores do teste da lágrima de Schirmer aumentados, diminuição da pressão intra-ocular, hemorragia conjuntival, uveíte anterior, edema corneal e injeção ciliar em ambos os olhos. Coletou-se amostra de sangue para realização de esfregaço sangüíneo, hemograma e bioquímica sérica. No esfregaço visibilizaram-se corpúsculos de Anaplasma marginale em hemácias parasitadas. Quanto à bioquímica sérica, não foram observadas alterações. Os mesmos exames foram realizados na mãe do animal tendo como resultado a positividade para A. marginale. Para o controle da uveíte foi utilizada uma única aplicação de 0,5ml de betametasona a 5 por cento, por via subconjuntival, em cada um dos olhos. Para o tratamento da anaplasmose, seguiu-se o protocolo a base de 10mg/kg de oxitetraciclina, por via intramuscular profunda, a cada 12 horas. Diante os achados oftálmicos e a presença de corpúsculos de A. marginale em hemácias parasitadas, contatou-se, ser um caso de uveíte crônica secundaria a doença sistêmica, factível com Anaplasmose.
