Acute exudative polymorphous vitelliform maculopathy is an extremely rare retinal disorder, that has been considered as a form of paraneoplasic retinopathy, found in patients with a underlying primary tumor. Symptoms of acute exudative polymorphous vitelliform maculopathy include preceding headache followed by acute onset of vision loss. The fundus of a patient with this condition typically demonstrates bilateral, subretinal white-yellow deposits in the macular region. The report of a rare disease which has a strong association with underlying neoplasia is extremely […]

The purpose of the authors is to show clinical findings of a patient with benign concentric annular macular dystrophy, which is an unusual condition, and part of the “bull’s eye” maculopathy differential diagnosis. An ophthalmologic examination with color perception, fluorescein angiography, and ocular electrophysiology was performed.

O objetivo dos autores é detalhar o quadro clínico de um paciente com distrofia macular anular concêntrica benigna, quadro raro, que compõe o diagnóstico diferencial das maculopatias em alvo. Realizou-se avaliação oftalmológica com auxílio de testes de percepção de cores, angiofluoresceinografia e eletrofisiologia ocular.

Purpose: To report the anatomic and functional outcome in patients with severe visual loss after acute massive submacular hemorrhage secondary to retinal arterial macroaneurysm submitted to vitrectomy and subretinal recombinant tissue plasminogen activator injection. Methods: Retrospective, observational, case-series of 4 eyes of 4 patients submitted to pars plana posterior vitrectomy (ppV) combined with internal limiting membrane (ILM) removal and subretinal recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA-12.5 mg/0.1 ml) injection with dilute (20%) sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas in the vitreous cavity of […]

Objetivo: Relatar os resultados anatômicos e funcionais em uma série de pacientes com perda visual grave por hemorragia submacular maciça aguda secundária a macroaneurisma arterial de retina (MAR) e descrever a técnica cirúrgica utilizada. Métodos: Este é um estudo retrospectivo, observacional, série de casos, incluindo 4 olhos de 4 pacientes que foram submetidos à cirurgia de vitrectomia posterior (VP), associada a peeling da membrane limitante interna (MLI) e injeção sub-retiniana de ativador do plasminogênio tecidual recombinante (rtPA-12,5 mg/0.1 ml) por […]
