ABSTRACT
Eighty-two-year-old patient with a pacemaker using warfarin due to arrhythmia and having an intraocular lens in the right eye, developed spontaneous hemorrhagic choroidal detachment one day after the use of combined preparation of 0.5% timolol maleate and 0.004% travoprost, due to primary open-angle glaucoma. Hemorrhagic detachment was detected by anterior and posterior segment examination, as well as B-scan ultrasonography. After the detachment, excessive increased intraocular pressure was controlled with oral carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, cycloplegic and steroid therapy. After four months, visual acuity was 20/20 and the intraocular pressure was under control with 0.5% timolol maleate and 1% brinzolamide. Controlled reduction of the intraocular pressure should be considered, particularly in older patients under anticoagulant therapy and that had undergone prior ocular surgery.
RESUMO
Paciente de oitenta e dois anos de idade com marca-passo e utilizando varfarina devido à arritmia cardíaca e com uma lente intraocular no olho direito, desenvolveu descolamento de hemorrágico espontâneo de coroide um dia após o uso de colírio combinado de maleato de timolol a 0,5% e travoprosta a 0,004%, devido ao glaucoma de ângulo aberto primário. O descolamento hemorrágico foi detectado por análise do segmento anterior e posterior, bem como ultrassonografia modo B. Após o descolamento, o aumento excessivo da pressão intraocular foi controlado por inibidor da anidrase carbônica via oral, terapia cicloplégica e esteroides. Após quatro meses, a acuidade visual era 20/20 e a pressão intraocular estava sob controle com o maleato de timolol a 0,5% e brinzolamida a 1%. A redução controlada da pressão intraocular deve ser considerada, especialmente em pacientes idosos sob terapia anticoagulante e que tinham sido submetidos à cirurgia ocular prévia.
