ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To establish a protocol for the use of autologous serum in the ophthalmic practice. METHODS: Personal experience and a literature review. RESULTS: The use of autologous serum, in eye drop form, has been reported as a new treatment for several ocular surfaces diseases. These products have biomechanical and biochemical properties similar to normal tears. They contain components such as fibronectin, vitamin A and growth factors that have an epitheliotrophic effect on the ocular surface epithelial cells. CONCLUSIONS: The clinical studies performed showed a variable efficacy, with the preparative process and use of the autologous serum eye drops varying considerably between different studies.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Establecer un protocolo razonado para la preparación y manejo de la terapia con suero autólogo en la práctica oftalmológica. Métodos: Revisión bibliográfica y experiencia personal. Resultados: La utilización de suero autólogo en colirio ha sido referida por muchos autores como una nueva forma de terapia en el manejo de enfermedades de la superficie ocular. El suero autólogo presenta unas propiedades mecánicas y bioquímicas similares a las de la lágrima, y como ésta contiene componentes como la fibronectina, vitamina A y factores de crecimiento que tienen un efecto epiteliotrófico sobre las células epiteliales de la superficie ocular. Conclusiones: Los distintos estudios publicados muestran una importante variabilidad tanto en la eficacia de esta terapia como en la metodología de preparación y aplicación

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To attempt to review the aniridia keratopathy pathogenesis and establish a treatment protocol according to the severity of the symptoms. METHODS: Personal experience in aniridic keratopathy management and a bibliography review. RESULTS: The ocular manifestations of this anomaly include defects of the cornea, glaucoma, lens subluxation, cataracts, hypoplasia of the iris, fovea and optic nerve, amblyopia and nystagmus. The keratopathy occurs in a 20% of patients with aniridia. The correct PAX6 expression is necessary for normal corneal development, limbal stem cell activity and correct corneal epithelial cell migration and adhesion. CONCLUSIONS: The management of ocular surface diseases due to limbal stem cell deficiency in aniridia is complex but has changed in recent years, as an understanding of the limbal stem cells and their microenvironment has modified the therapeutic approach. The use of autologous serum eye drops, amniotic membrane transplantation, limbal transplantation or cultivated limbal cell transplantation have all been reported as a treatment for several ocular surface diseases.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Revisar la patogenia de la queratopatía por aniridia y establecer un protocolo de tratamiento según su gravedad. Métodos: Revisión bibliográfica y experiencia personal en el manejo de pacientes con queratopatía por aniridia. Resultados: Las manifestaciones oculares de esta anomalía incluyen defectos a nivel corneal, glaucoma, subluxación del cristalino y cataratas, hipoplasia de iris, fóvea y nervio óptico, ambliopía y nistagmus. La queratopatía por aniridia ocurre en un 20% de los pacientes. La correcta expresión del gen PAX6 es necesaria para el normal desarrollo corneal y actividad de las células limbares así como la correcta migración y adhesión de las células epiteliales. Conclusiones: El manejo de los trastornos oculares debidos a la deficiencia limbal asociada a la aniridia es complejo pero ha cambiado en los últimos años. El concepto de célula madre limbal y de su microambiente ha modificado la aproximación terapéutica de estos pacientes. El empleo del suero autólogo, trasplante de membrana amniótica, trasplante de limbo o trasplante de células limbares cultivadas han sido utilizados en el tratamiento de distintos trastornos de la superficie ocular

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To determine possible differences between the Schirmer test and the tear break up time (BUT) in relation to the etiology and severity of the dry eye syndrome. METHODS: We present a prospective study of 206 eyes in 106 patients (38 males and 68 females). Both the Schirmer test and BUT were performed on all of them. We divided the patients into ten etiologic groups according to the Madrid triple classification of dry eye etiology and into four groups according to clinical severity. RESULTS: Both the Schirmer test and BUT results decrease according to the severity of symptoms and we found significant differences between clinical groups. In regard to etiology, we found lower values of the Schirmer test especially in immunological, senile and traumatic dry eye groups. BUT measures were lower in immunological, inflammatory and tantalic dry eye groups. CONCLUSIONS: Although we found differences between Schirmer test results and BUT values according to dry eye etiology, these differences were only statistically significant between the immunological group and the other groups. Differences between etiological groups decreased with worsening of the illness due to a general affectation of the lacrimal glands.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Determinar si existen diferencias en el test de Schirmer y el tiempo de ruptura lagrimal (BUT) en relación con la etiología y gravedad del síndrome de sequedad ocular.Métodos: Realizamos un estudio prospectivo sobre 206 ojos pertenecientes a 106 pacientes (38 hombres y 68 mujeres), donde se mide el test de Schirmer y el BUT. La población estudiada se dividió en diez grupos etiológicos, según los criterios de la clasificación de Madrid, y en cuatro grupos atendiendo a parámetros de gravedad clínica.Resultados: Los valores del test de Schirmer y BUT disminuyeron con la gravedad del cuadro clínico, existiendo diferencias significativas entre los cuatro grupos clínicos. En cuanto a criterios etiológicos, el test de Schirmer se afectó sobre todo en ojo seco inmunopático, etario y traumático, mientras que el BUT lo hizo en ojo seco inmunopático, inflamatorio y tantálico.Conclusiones: Aunque existen diferencias en cuanto a los valores del test de Schirner y BUT según la etiología responsable del síndrome de sequedad ocular, éstas son sólo estadísticamente significativas entre el grupo de ojo seco inmunopático y el resto. Las diferencias entre grupos etiológicos tienden a disminuir con la gravedad del cuadro clínico como consecuencia de la afectación global de las distintas dacrioglándulas que se produce en casos de ojo seco moderado y grave (AU)

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To determine the diagnostic value of studying lacunar folds in relation to the different etiologies responsible for dry-eye syndrome. METHODS: We present a prospective study of 206 eyes from 106 patients (38 males and 68 females). In all patients the abduction degree was measured after instilling a fluorescein drop, which makes lacunar folds disappear. We divided the patients into ten etiological groups applying Madrid classification criteria. Patients were also divided into four groups according to clinical severity. RESULTS: We found the early disappearance of lacunar folds was more prevalent among patients with immunological dry eye. Early disappearance was less frequent in patients with tantalic, pharmacological, inflammatory and traumatic dry eye. The folds disappeared more rapidly in patients with greater clinical severity. CONCLUSIONS: The early disappearance of lacunar folds is a sign of conjunctival retraction manifest in patients with dry eye syndrome. The degree of conjunctival retraction degree varies according to the dry eye etiology and severity of the symptoms.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Determinar el valor diagnóstico del estudio de los pliegues lacunares en relación con las distintas etiologías responsables del síndrome de sequedad ocular. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio prospectivo sobre 206 ojos pertenecientes a 106 pacientes (38 hombres y 68 mujeres), donde medimos el grado de abducción, tras instilar una gota de fluoresceína, en que se borran los pliegues lacunares. La población estudiada se divide en diez grupos etiológicos según los criterios de la clasificación de Madrid, y en cuatro grupos atendiendo a parámetros de gravedad clínica. Resultados: Se encontró un borramiento precoz de los pliegues lacunares sobre todo en el grupo de ojo seco inmunopático, siendo menor en ojo seco tantálico, farmacológico, inflamatorio y traumático. Los pliegues se borran de forma más precoz a mayor gravedad del cuadro clínico. Conclusiones: El borramiento precoz de los pliegues lacunares es un signo de retracción conjuntival que se observa en pacientes con clínica de ojo seco. El grado de retracción conjuntival varía según la etiología responsable de la sequedad ocular y la gravedad del cuadro clínico (AU)

ABSTRACT

Phthiriasis palpebrarum, caused by Phthirus pubis, is an uncommon cause of blepharoconjunctivitis; therefore, this condition is easily misdiagnosed. When diagnosed, genital involvement must be ruled out. Association with other venereal diseases is common. Affected children must be searched for sexual abuse. The number of diagnosed patients in our department has increased in recent years. We review the epidemiological, clinical and diagnostic features of phthriasis palpebrarum as well as the different treatment options to eradicate the parasite and to prevent infestations.

ABSTRACT

La Phthiriasis palpebral, parasitación de las pestañas por Phtirus pubis, es una causa poco frecuente de blefaroconjuntivis, por lo que su diagnóstico puede pasarnos fácilmente desapercibido. Ante un paciente con Phthiriasis palpebral hemos de descartar la presencia de parásitos en otras localizaciones de su cuerpo e investigar la más que probable asociación con otras enfermedades de transmisión sexual. En niños se nos plantea además un importante reto medico-legal ya que puede tratarse de un caso de abuso sexual. En los últimos años hemos detectado un aumento en el número de casos diagnosticados en nuestro servicio. En el presente trabajo revisamos las características epidemiológicas, clínicas y diagnósticas de la phthiriasis palpebral así como las distintas medidas terapeúticas destinadas a la eliminación del parásito y a la prevención de infestaciones (AU)

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: Measure the thickness of lacrimal fatty layer in several pathologies with ocular dryness, by the study of interferencial colours. METHODS: A prospective study of 100 patients (50 males and 50 females), divided in ten groups was performed. The first nine groups had dry eye pathology, the other one was the control group of healthy patients. We measured with the slit lamp the fatty layer thickness by the study of interferencial colours. RESULTS: We found a greater thickness of the fatty layer in patients with pathologies like seborrheic blepharitis, keratoconjunctivitis sicca, chronic blepharitis and contact lens wear, compared with the control group. Patients with climatic and ambiental dry eye had a thin fatty layer compared with the control group. We didn't find statisticaly significative differences between control group and the patients with chronic conjunctivitis or atopic conjunctivitis. CONCLUSIONS: The thickness of the fatty layer changes in different dry eye pathologies. Interferencial colours study is a semiquantitative and non invasive method to measure the thickness of fatty layer of precorneal tear film. It s easy to perform and interprete, so we must include this as a part of the dry eye diagnostic study.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Estimar el grosor de la capa lipídica de la lágrima en distintas patologías que cursan con sequedad ocular, mediante el estudio de los colores interferenciales. Métodos: Hemos realizado un estudio prospectivo en 100 pacientes (50 varones y 50 mujeres) divididos en diez grupos. Nueve de estos grupos presentaban patología de ojo seco, mientras que el otro es un grupo control de pacientes sanos. Bajo exploración en lámpara de hendidura se realizan estimaciones del grosor de la capa lipídica mediante el estudio de los colores interferenciales. Resultados: Encontramos un mayor grosor de la capa lipídica, en comparación con el grupo control, en patologías como blefaritis seborreica, conjuntivitis seca, blefaroconjuntivitis crónica, conjuntivitis infecciosa y portadores de lentes de contacto. En patologías como ojo seco climático y ojo seco ambiental encontramos un menor grosor de la capa lipídica en comparación al grupo control. No encontramos diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre el grupo control y pacientes con conjuntivitis crónica simple y conjuntivitis atópica. Conclusiones: El grosor de la capa lipídica se altera en distintas situaciones clínicas que cursan con ojo seco. El estudio de los colores interferenciales es un método semicuantitativo, y no invasivo, que nos permite estimar de una forma sencilla el grosor de la capa lipídica de la película lagrimal. Por su fácil realización e interpretación creemos que debería incorporarse como un elemento más de estudio en el diagnóstico de ojo seco (AU)

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To determine the diagnostic value of lacunar folds study in patients with dry eye syndrome. METHODS: We present a prospective study in 185 patients (91 males and 94 females). In all patients the abduction degree was measured after instilling a fluorescein drop, which makes lacunar folds disappear. We divided patients into two groups, one of them with dry eye symptoms and the other without them. The symptomatic group was divided into four other subgroups, according to the severity of symptoms. RESULTS: We found significant differences in the early disappearing of lacunar folds in dry eye patients compared with the control group. The folds disappeared quicker when the symptoms were more severe. The disappearance of folds is significantly associated with the Schirmer test and with the break up time test (BUT). CONCLUSIONS: Lacunar folds study should be included as a useful and easy test in the diagnosis of dry eye syndrome, nevertheless its disappearance is not exclusive of this disease.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Determinar el valor diagnóstico del estudio de los pliegues lacunares en pacientes con ojo seco. Métodos: Hemos realizado un estudio prospectivo en 185 pacientes (91 varones y 94 mujeres), donde medimos el grado de abducción, tras instilar una gota de fluoresceína, en que se borran los pliegues lacunares. La población estudiada se divide en dos grupos según tengan o no clínica de ojo seco. Los pacientes con clínica de ojo seco se dividen en cuatro subgrupos según la gravedad del cuadro. Resultados: Encontramos diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre el borramiento precoz de los pliegues lacunares en pacientes con ojo seco en comparación con el grupo control. Éstos se borran de forma más precoz a mayor gravedad del cuadro clínico. Existe una correlación estadísticamente significativa entre el borramiento de los pliegues y los valores del test de Schirmery tiempo de ruptura lagrimal. Conclusiones: Aunque el borramiento de los pliegues lacunares no es una manifestación exclusiva del síndrome de sequedad ocular, creemos que por su fácil realización e interpretación debería incorporarse como un elemento más de estudio en el diagnóstico de ojo seco (AU)

ABSTRACT

CASE REPORT: We present the case of a patient operated on for extracapsular cataract extraction of both eyes. Three weeks after the first operation (right eye), the patient presented a local inflammatory reaction at the incision site which was characterized by the existence of whitish exudates of different sizes surrounding the nylon suture. At one week of the second operation, the patient presented the same alteration (left eye), although it was observed sooner and had a greater intensity. The allergy skin tests for nylon and other substances were negative, however the local inflammatory reaction disappeared when the nylon suture was removed. DISCUSSION: This type of reaction, which we have observed in several other patients, has been previously described by others authors, although no clearly established cause has been demonstrated. Both toxicity and allergy to nylon have been proposed as the underlying mechanisms. We consider that a type IV hypersensitivity reaction to nylon may be the underlying mechanism of these reactions although toxicity cannot be ruled out.

ABSTRACT

Caso clínico: Presentamos el caso de un paciente intervenido de cirugía extracapsular de catarata de ambos ojos. Tres semanas después de la primera intervención (OD), presentó una inflamación localizada en la zona adyacente a la sutura y caracterizada por la existencia de unos exudados blanquecinos de diferentes tamaños en torno al hilo de sutura. A la semana de practicar la segunda intervención (OI), presentó la misma alteración, aunque más precoz y de mayor intensidad. Las pruebas alérgicas al nylon y a otras substancias fueron negativas, pero el cuadro se resolvió al retirar el nylon. Discusión: Este tipo de reacción, que hemos observado en otros pacientes ha sido descrito previamente en la literatura sin que se haya podido demostrar su etiología de forma concluyente. Existe controversia en la bibliografía sobre si su mecanismo patogénico se debe a una supuesta toxicidad al nylon o alergia al mismo. Por nuestra parte, pensamos que este tipo de reacciones puede deberse a una etiología alérgica mediada por hipersensibilidad tipo IV, aunque no podemos descartar un mecanismo tóxico. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo/Métodos: Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 71 años con un carcinoma escamoso de conjuntiva con invasión escleral y orbitaria. A pesar de que el estudio citológico no fue concluyente, debido a la sospecha de invasión del recto inferior, optamos por la realización de una enucleación ampliada. Resultado/Conclusiones: El estudio histopatológico es el factor más importante a la hora de decidir la actitud terapéutica en este tipo de tumores, si bien han de considerarse otros aspectos clínicos que pueden modificar la pauta terapéutica más apropiada para cada paciente (AU)
