ABSTRACT
We present a case of diagnostic interest; we present the differential diagnosis and the complementary tests necessary to reach it, in addition to highlighting the importance of a correct collection of background and clinical history. A 54-year-old woman with a history of carcinoma of the floor of the mouth treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy develops ischemic retinopathy. It was necessary to perform a systemic study and differential diagnosis with entities such as ocular ischemic syndrome and radiation retinopathy, due to the similarity in the clinical findings found. Radiation retinopathy should be ruled out in any patient with visual impairment and a history of radiotherapy treatment. A broad differential diagnosis and systemic study are required to rule out entities such as ocular ischemic syndrome and diabetic retinopathy, in addition to early treatment to avoid possible complications.

Tuberculous prostatitis is diagnosed incidentally, when the pathologist is studying a specimen of transurethral resection of the prostate or a prostatic biopsy. There is scant literature on the role of transrectal ultrasound in the diagnosis of this pathology. A case of tuberculous prostatitis is presented, with special reference to the transrectal ultrasound pattern. A complete review of the references on the imaging techniques in this pathology is done.
