RESUMEN
CASO CLÍNICO Una joven mujer fue referida por compromiso de la agudeza visual después de recibir un tercer tatuaje en su brazo. Se realizó evaluación sistémica y de laboratorio para excluir agentes infecciosos o enfermedad inflamatoria. Una lesión amarillenta yuxtafoveal junto con disrupción de la retina externa de tipo placoide y defectos pigmentarios focales fueron evaluados con imágenes multimodales.

DISCUSIÓN:

Los oftalmólogos que tratan uveítis deben considerar esta asociación poco común y preguntar a sus pacientes acerca de tatuajes e inflamación de estos, dado el número creciente de sujetos con tatuajes artísticos
ABSTRACT
CLINICAL CASE A young woman was referred to our offices with impairment of visual acuity after she received a third tattoo on her arm. Systemic medical and laboratory work-up were performed in order to exclude an infectious agent or inflammatory disease. A yellowish juxtafoveal lesion in left eye along with a plaque-like outer retinal disruption and focal pigmentary defects was assessed using multi-modal diagnostic imaging.

DISCUSSION:

Ophthalmologists treating uveitis should consider this uncommon association and question patients regarding tattoos and tattoo inflammation given the rise of subjects undergoing artistic tattooing
