Desprendimiento de retina exudativo bilateral asociado con coriorretinopatía serosa central en una paciente tratada con corticoesteroides / Bilateral exudative retinal detachment associated with central serous chorioretinopathy in a patient treated with corticosteroids

Caso clínico: Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 54 años con una coriorretinopatía serosa central diagnosticada erróneamente de enfermedad de Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada y tratada con corticoides sistémicos. La paciente desarrolló un desprendimiento de retina exudativo bulloso en ambos ojos. Discusión: La interrupción del tratamiento con corticoides junto con el drenaje quirúrgico del líquido subretiniano y la aplicación de terapia fotodinámica consiguió la mejoría anatómica y funcional. El correcto diagnóstico de las formas atípicas de la enfermedad podría evitar las complicaciones del uso inadecuado de los corticoides (AU)

Case report: The case is presented on a 54-year-old woman with a central serous chorioretinopathy, misdiagnosed as Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease, and treated with systemic corticosteroids. The patient presented with a bilateral bullous exudative retinal detachment. Discussion: Discontinuation of corticosteroid therapy, surgical drainage of subretinal fluid, and photodynamic therapy, led to anatomical and functional improvement. The recognition of an atypical presentation of central serous chorioretinopathy may avoid complications of the inappropriate treatment with corticosteroids (AU)

Macrovaso retiniano asociado a telangiectasias periféricas retinianas e isquemia retiniana / Congenital retinal macrovessel associated with retinal peripheral telangiectasia and retinal ischaemia

Caso clínico: Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 16 años con un macrovaso retiniano congénito unilateral, con telangiectasias retinianas periféricas asociadas a zonas de isquemia. Discusión: Los macrovasos retinianos congénitos constituyen un hallazgo raro, no habiéndose descrito casos asociados a telangiectasias retinianas e isquemia periférica. Tras 21 meses de seguimiento, la paciente se mantiene estable, conservando la visión inicial y sin complicaciones adicionales (AU)

Clinical case: The case is presented of a 16 year-old girl with unilateral congenital retinal macrovessel associated with peripheral telangiectasia and retinal ischaemia. Discussion: Congenital retinal macrovessel is a rare finding. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report of this unusual presentation of congenital retinal macrovessel. After 21 months of follow up, visual acuity remained stable, and no complications developed (AU)

Tratamiento quirúrgico en un hamartoma combinado de retina y epitelio pigmentario / Surgical treatment in combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium

CASO CLÍNICO: Presentamos el caso de un paciente varón de 39 años, con un hamartoma combinado de retina y epitelio pigmentario de retina. El paciente refería disminución progresiva de la visión y empeoramiento de la metamorfopsia. Se realizó una vitrectomía con pelado de la membrana epirretiniana, consiguiendo una mejoría de la agudeza visual y de la metamorfopsia, así como de la arquitectura retiniana en la tomografía de coherencia óptica. DISCUSIÓN: Algunos pacientes seleccionados con hamartomas combinados de retina y epitelio pigmentario podrían beneficiarse de la realización de una vitrectomía

CASE REPORT: The case is presented of a 39 year-old man with a combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium, who experienced progressive visual loss and worsening of metamorphopsia. The patient underwent vitrectomy and epiretinal component peeling, with improvement in visual acuity, metamorphopsia, and retinal architecture, assessed by optical coherence tomography. DISCUSSION: Selected patients with combined hamartomas of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium may benefit from surgical management
