ABSTRACT
CASE REPORT: We present case reports of two young patients suffering from full thickness traumatic macular holes resulting in visual impairment of more than 60%. Both showed anatomical and visual improvement whilst waiting for surgical treatment. DISCUSSION: Spontaneous closure of a traumatic macular hole is an unusual outcome. OCT and clinical follow up enabled monitoring of this resolution during a period of a few weeks. Complex surgery was thus avoided by a short observational period.

Caso clínico: Se presentan dos casos de pacientes jóvenes que sufrieron sendos agujeros maculares traumáticos de espesor completo con deterioro visual de más de un 60%. Ambos mejoraron clínica y anatómicamente mientras esperaban un tratamiento quirúrgico. Discusión: El cierre espontáneo de agujeros maculares traumáticos es un hallazgo infrecuente. El seguimiento clínico y mediante OCT permite apreciar la mejoría en las primeras semanas. Un período corto de observación nos puede evitar una intervención quirúrgica compleja y laboriosa

CASE REPORT: We present two case reports of patients suffering from severe corneal damage resulting in pain and visual impairment, after undergoing Scopinaro's operation. Both patients improved after treatment with topical autologous serum although their nutritional state became worse. DISCUSSION: Topical autologous serum provides growth factors and nutrients needed for corneal cell repair, and is appropriate treatment for carential ocular pathology which may accompany malnutrition.

Caso clínico: Se presentan dos casos de pacientes con el antecedente de haber sido sometidos a la intervención de Scopinaro, que presentan afectación corneal severa con dolor y deterioro de la agudeza visual en grado variable. Ambos se beneficiaron de un tratamiento a base de suero autólogo tópico con una mejoría que contrastaba con el deterioro de su estado nutricional. Discusión: El suero autólogo tópico aporta a la superficie ocular factores de crecimiento y nutrientes necesarios para el trofismo celular de la cornea, siendo un tratamiento apropiado para la patología ocular carencial que puede ocurrir en pacientes desnutridos

CASE REPORT: We report the case of a child short in stature with brachydactyly and brachymorphy who was referred to our office complaining of poor vision. This was a case of Weill-Marchesani's syndrome described in a family, in which four of the eight children were affected by spherophakia, brachymorphy and brachydactyly. DISCUSSION: There are few familial cases of Weill-Marchesani's syndrome reported in the literature. Both autosomal dominant and recessive inheritances have been described. The opththalmologist plays a crucial role in its diagnosis and management, since the ocular involvement is the most severe one.
