RESUMEN
ABSTRACT We report two cases of suspicious asymmetric bow tie and inferior steepening on topographic evaluations with reflection (Placido) and projection (Scheimpflug). Rotating Scheimpflug corneal and anterior segment tomography (Oculus Pentacam HR, Wetzlar, Germany)® was performed in the first case, with a maximal keratometric value (Kmax) of 43.2 D and an overall deviation value from the Belin/Ambrósio Enhanced Ectasia Display (BAD-D) of 1.76, which was observed in the study eye (OD). BAD-D was 6.59 in the fellow eye, which had clinical findings that were consistent with keratoconus stage 2. The second case presented with a Kmax of 45.3 D and BAD-D of 0.76 in OD and 1.01 in OS. This patient had discontinued wearing soft contact lens less than 1 day prior to examination. Corneal tomographic data enabled us to distinguish mild or forme fruste keratoconus from contact lens-induced corneal warpage, and similar findings were observed on curvature maps.
RESUMO O presente estudo tem por objetivo relatar dois casos suspeitos que apresentam bow tie assimétrico e encurvamento inferior nas avaliações topográficas de reflexão (Placido) e projeção (Scheimpflug). A tomografia de córnea e segmento anterior com o sistema Scheimpflug (Oculus Pentacam HR, Wetzlar, Alemanha)® mostrou no primeiro caso, a ceratometria máxima (Kmax) de 43,2 D e o valor D no Belin/Ambrósio Enhanced Ectasia Display (BAD-D) de 1,76 no olho estudado (OD). O olho contralateral apresentava BAD-D de 6,59 e achados clínicos compatíveis com ceratocone (KC) grau 2. O segundo caso apresentava Kmax de 45,3 D e BAD-D de 0,76 em OD e 1,01 em OS. Este paciente havia interrompido o uso de lentes de contato gelatinosas 1 dia antes do exame. A avaliação tomográfica avançada nos permitiu distinguir ceratocone leve ou subclínico de warpage induzido por lentes de contato, enquanto resultados semelhantes foram observados em mapas de curvatura anterior.
