ABSTRACT Congenital distichiasis is a rare condition, of controversial origin, with therapeutic options not always having favorable results. This is a case report of a seven-year-old male child with congenital distichiasis affecting all eyelids, with the presence of some distichiasis hair follicles despite surgical treatment using the interlamellar division technique, selective application of cryotherapy and electrolysis. The treatment of congenital distichiasis involves the need to combine techniques to achieve more effective results.

Report of a case of Coats disease associated with retinal vasoproliferative tumor in a young female patient with two peripheral vascularized tumors and lipid exudation involving the macula and peripapillary region with serous retinal detachment areas and pre-papillary fibrous proliferation. The proposed and performed treatment was the intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide to decrease the tumor exudation, followed by photocoagulation of the peripheral areas of telangiectasia without subretinal fluid and cryotherapy of the tumors. Despite that this is a rare […]

Relato de um caso de Doença de Coats associada a tumor vasoproliferativo de retina em uma paciente jovem com duas tumorações vascularizadas periféricas e exsudação lipídica acometendo mácula e região peripapilar com áreas de descolamento de retina seroso e proliferação fibrosa pré-papilar. O tratamento proposto e realizado foi a injeção intra-vítrea de triancinolona para diminuir a exsudação do tumor, seguida de fotocoagulação periférica das áreas de telangiectasia sem fluido subretiniano e criocoagulação dos tumores. Apesar de se tratar de uma […]

OBJETIVE: To describe the reattachment rate and visual acuity results of patients with uncomplicated rhegmatogenous retinal detachment who underwent segmental scleral buckle surgery. METHODS: Prospective case series of 100 patients with visual loss or symptoms (floaters and photopsia) of less than 30 days’ duration scheduled for surgery. No patient had a retinal break greater than 30°, a retinal detachment larger than 2 quadrants or proliferative vitreoretinopathy. RESULTS: The 1-week, 1-month, and 6-month anatomical success rates were 93%, 100%, and 100%, […]

OBJETIVO: Descrever a taxa de reaplicação e os resultados da acuidade visual dos pacientes com descolamento de retina regmatogênico simples que se submeteram à cirurgia de introflexão escleral segmentar. MÉTODOS: Uma série de casos prospectivo de 100 pacientes com perda visual ou sintomas (floaters e fotopsia), com duração inferior a 30 dias, agendados para a cirurgia. Nenhum paciente apresentou uma ruptura da retina superior a 30°, um descolamento de retina maior que 2 quadrantes ou vitreorretinopatia. RESULTADOS: As taxas de […]

PURPOSE: To evaluate the inflammatory response in the choroid, retina and vitreous in rabbit eyes underwent cryotherapy followed by intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide and to compare with those underwent cryotherapy followed by intravitreal injection of saline solution. METHODS: This is a prospective case-control study. Surgical procedures were performed in eleven rabbits. Two animals were excluded because they did not complete the postoperative period or had intraoperative or postoperative complications. All rabbits underwent superior temporal peritomy and transscleralcryotherapy in both eyes. After […]

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a resposta inflamatória em coróide, retina e vítreo nos olhos de coelhos submetidos à crioterapia seguida de injeção intravítrea de triancinolona acetonida e comparar com os olhos de coelhos que foram submetidos à crioterapia seguida de injeção intravítrea de solução salina. MÉTODOS: Trata-se de um estudo prospectivo caso-controle. Foram realizados procedimentos cirúrgicos em 11 coelhos albinos, sendo excluídos os animais que não completaram o pós-operatório ou apresentaram complicações intra ou pós-operatórias. Todos os coelhos foram submetidos à peritomia […]
