RESUMO
CASO CLÍNICO: Varón de 68 años con catarata y glaucoma primario de ángulo abierto no controlado con máximo tratamiento tópico en ojo derecho, intervenido de cirugía combinada de esclerectomía profunda no perforante y facoemulsificación. No presentó complicaciones intraoperatorias, pero en el postoperatorio inmediato acudió por disminución brusca de agudeza visual tras maniobra de Valsalva; se objetivó en la exploración un hematoma endocapsular. En ausencia de resolución espontánea, a los 3meses se realizó capsulotomía posterior con láser neodomio: YAG con mejoría visual inmediata y óptimo control de la presión intraocular. DISCUSIÓN: Se describe el primer caso de hematoma endocapsular como complicación de cirugía no perforante en glaucoma, manejado eficazmente con capsulotomía YAG
CASE REPORT: A 68-year-old male with a cataract and uncontrolled primary open angle glaucoma with maximal tolerated medication underwent non-penetrating deep sclerectomy combined with phacoemulsification surgery in right eye. There were no complications during the procedure, but shortly after the surgery, he lost visual acuity after a Valsalva manoeuvre due to an endocapsular haematoma. Neodymium:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy was performed for the treatment of an unresolving endocapsular haemorrhage at the third month of the follow-up, with immediate visual improvement and optimal control of intraocular pressure. DISCUSSION: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of endocapsular haematoma as a complication of non-penetrating glaucoma surgery that has been successfully solved by a YAG capsulotomy

RESUMO
CASO CLÍNICO: Gestante de 38 años, acude a urgencias por déficit visual agudo y afectación campimétrica. Las pruebas de neuroimagen ponen de manifiesto una tumoración compatible con craneofaringioma. Se realiza la resección quirúrgica mejorando la función visual y continuando su embarazo normalmente. DISCUSIÓN: Es conocido que los adenomas hipofisarios pueden crecer en el embarazo, sin embargo este hecho es inusual en los craneofaringiomas. Estos suelen manifestarse con clínica visual dada su topografía supraselar. El tratamiento de elección es quirúrgico, dependiendo el pronóstico fundamentalmente de su resección completa
CASE REPORT: A 38-year-old female, at 20-weeks gestation, experienced a sudden visual loss and visual-field abnormalities. The neuroimaging tests showed a craniopharyngioma. Surgical removal was performed with a successful outcome as regards the pregnancy and visual function. DISCUSSION: It is known that pituitary adenomas may grow during pregnancy; however this is unusual in craniopharyngiomas. They usually present with visual problems due to their suprasellar topography. Surgery is the treatment of choice, the outcome essentially depending on its complete resection
