- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Alterações oculares em pacientes com tuberculose(Conselho Brasileiro de Oftalmologia, 2006-04-01) Almeida, Simone Ribeiro Araújo De [UNIFESP]; Finamor, Luciana Peixoto [UNIFESP]; Muccioli, Cristina [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)PURPOSE: To analyze clinical findings of ocular tuberculosis and its epidemiological features. METHODS: Were reviewed clinical files of patients who attended the Ophthalmology - Uveitis and AIDS sector of UNIFESP-EPM, São Paulo, Brazil between January 1999 and July 2002 and had a diagnosis of ocular tuberculosis. Patients who had Mantoux test higher than 10 mm, epidemiological history of tuberculosis and ocular findings that improved after specific treatment were included. RESULTS: Seventeen medical files were analyzed, of those, 12 (70,6%) were females. The mean age was 54 (24-84) years. The average time between symptoms and diagnosis was 100 days. Ocular findings at the first interview were multiple but most were at the anterior segment of the eye and 41% of patients who had clinical findings that suggested tuberculosis other than ocular. Situations as glaucoma, retinal detachment and vitreous hemorrhage were responsible for reduction of visual acuity. CONCLUSIONS: Ocular tuberculosis showed a low prevalence but important visual loosing morbidity. The multiplicity of clinical findings is responsible for the delay of diagnosis.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Displasia ectodérmica, ectrodactilia e fissura lábio-palatal: manifestações oculares da síndrome em relato de caso(Conselho Brasileiro de Oftalmologia, 2007-02-01) Almeida, Sandra Flávia Fiorentini De [UNIFESP]; Solari, Helena Parente [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)A case of ectodermal dysplasia, ectrodactyly and clefting syndrome (EEC), a rare disease with an important ocular impairment and with scarce literature. Patient, 26 years old with complaints of pain, with photophobia and low visual acuity in the left eye for three days. The patient was submitted to a genetic investigation after complete physical and ophthalmologic examinations. EEC syndrome was diagnosed and all systemic and ocular modifications identified. The patient presented a scar in the left eye, with difficulties in healing due to ocular damage caused by the syndrome (lack of tear film, trichiasis, Meibomius gland absence, among others). The ocular modifications in this rare syndrome were described in order to institute preventive treatment and to reduce the risks of low visual acuity in patients who receive this genetic diagnosis.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Hipertensão intracraniana com manifestações oculares associada ao uso de tetraciclina: relato de caso(Conselho Brasileiro de Oftalmologia, 2005-10-01) Santos, Frederico Xavier Dos; Parolin, André [UNIFESP]; Lindoso, Elissandro Márcio Silva; Santos, Fernando Henrique Xavier; Sousa, Luciene Barbosa De [UNIFESP]; Hospital oftalmológico de Sorocaba; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Pontifícia Universidade Católica de SorocabaThe authors describe a young female patient with intracranial hypertension associated with ocular manifestations, during treatment with tetracycline. This is a rare adverse effect described in the medication warnings, and in a few reported cases in the scientific literature.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Lipemia retinalis in a 35-day-old infant with hyperlipoproteinemia: case report(Consel Brasil Oftalmologia, 2008-03-01) Cypel, Marcela [UNIFESP]; Manzano, Roberta [UNIFESP]; Reis, Frederico Augusto dos [UNIFESP]; Ishida, Noemi; Ayhara, Teruo; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Santa Casa Misericordia São PauloA rare case of hyperlipropoteinemia in a 35-day-old infant who presented not only high blood levels of cholesterol and triglycerides but also an ocular manifestation described as lipemia retinalis. the fundoscopic abnormality cleared as the levels of chilomicrons in plasma dropped. Lipemia retinalis is an important and reliable parameter of high levels of chilomicrons and triglycerides and should be considered as a significant clue while diagnosing.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Nodulose reumatóide epibulbar bilateral: relato de caso(Conselho Brasileiro de Oftalmologia, 2006-06-01) Santos, Namir Clementino [UNIFESP]; Sousa, Luciene Barbosa de [UNIFESP]; Trevisani, Virgínia Fernandes Moça [UNIFESP]; Rigueiro, Moacyr Pezati [UNIFESP]; Freitas, Denise de [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)A 64-year-old woman with a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis developed painless bilateral episcleral rheumatoid nodules without any flareup of her associated disease. Biopsy of the lesions disclosed a lymphocytic and plasmacytic infiltration within the conjunctiva, overlying palisading granulomas with multinucleated giant cells, and central necrobiotic degeneration of the collagen of the episclera and superficial sclera. The rheumatologic designation for the development of groups of nodules in inactive rheumatoid arthritis is rheumatoid nodulosis.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Ocular rosacea: a review(Conselho Brasileiro de Oftalmologia, 2012-10-01) Vieira, Ana Carolina Cabreira [UNIFESP]; Hofling-Lima, Ana Luisa [UNIFESP]; Mannis, Mark J; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); University of California Department of OphthalmologyRosacea is a prevalent chronic cutaneous disorder with variable presentation and severity. Although considered a skin disease, rosacea may evolve the eyes in 58-72% of the patients, causing eyelid and ocular surface inflammation. About one third of the patients develop potentially sight-threatening corneal involvement. Untreated rosacea may cause varying degrees of ocular morbidity. The importance of early diagnosis and adequate treatment cannot be overemphasized. There is not yet a diagnostic test for rosacea. The diagnosis of ocular rosacea relies on observation of clinical features, which can be challenging in up to 90% of patients in whom accompanying roseatic skin changes may be subtle or inexistent. In this review, we describe the pathophysiologic mechanisms proposed in the literature, clinical features, diagnosis and management of ocular rosacea, as well as discuss the need for a diagnostic test for the disease.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Síndrome de Cogan: relato de caso(Conselho Brasileiro de Oftalmologia, 2005-12-01) Medeiros, Fabricio Witzel De; Altieri, Rosana Aparecida Soares [UNIFESP]; Souza, Murilo Barreto; Milani, José Antonio De Almeida; Alves, Milton Ruiz; Universidade de São Paulo (USP); Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Faculdade de Tecnologia e Ciências Faculdade de MedicinaNon-luetic interstitial keratitis, deafness and vertigo characterize Cogan's syndrome. The most common ocular findings in early Cogan's syndrome are bilateral, peripheral, subepithelial numular corneal opacities. The report presents a patient with the evolution of the classic form of Cogan's syndrome.
