The authors report a case of a patient who presented bilateral branch retinal artery occlusion without any meaningful systemic underlying conditions.

Sarcoidosis is an idiopathic systemic granulomatous disease. It commonly affects the skin, lungs, kidneys, and central nervous system. In the eyes it primarily affects the uveal tract, conjunctiva, lacrimal glands and optic nerve. Here in we describe the case of a patient with systemic sarcoidosis and asymptomatic eye inflammation.

Sarcoidose é uma doença granulomatosa sistêmica idiopática. Afeta comumente pele, pulmões, rins e sistema nervoso central. Nos olhos afeta primariamente a úvea, conjuntiva, glândulas lacrimais e nervo óptico. Descrevemos o caso de um paciente portador de sarcoidose sistêmica com acometimento ocular assintomático.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the changes in corneal topography after 20-gauge pars plana vitrectomy associated with scleral buckling for the repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. METHODS: Twenty-five eyes of 25 patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were included in this study. 20-gauge pars plana vitrectomy associated with scleral buckling was performed in all patients. The corneal topography of each was measured before surgery and one week, one month, and three months after surgery by computer-assisted videokeratoscopy. RESULTS: A statistically significant central corneal […]

OBJETIVO: Avaliar as alterações topográficas da córnea após a realização de vitrectomia via pars plana 20-gauge associada à introflexão escleral para o tratamento do descolamento de retina regmatogênico. MÉTODOS: Vinte e cinco pacientes com descolamento de retina regmatogênico foram incluídos neste estudo. Vitrectomia via pars plana 20-gauge associada à introflexão escleral foi realizada em todos os pacientes. O exame de topografia de córnea computadorizada de cada paciente foi realizado antes da cirurgia e ao sétimo dia, trigésimo dia e três […]

PURPOSE: To report the response of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) to intravitreal ranibizumab treatment in the setting of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) with extensive pre-existing geographic atrophy (GA) and a revision paper. METHODS: This is a revision paper and a retrospective case series of 10 eyes in nine consecutive patients from a photographic database. The patients were actively treated with ranibizumab for neovascular AMD with extensive pre-existing GA. Patients were included if they had GA at or adjacent to the foveal […]

Investigar os resultados da injeção intravítrea de Ranibizumab em pacientes com neovascularização de coróide da degeneração macular relacionada a idade, com atrofia geográfica extensa, pré-existente e revisão da literatura. MÉTODOS: Este é um artigo de revisão e também um estudo retrospectivo de 9 pacientes, 10 olhos com neovascularização de coróide da degeneração macular relacionada à idade, com atrofia geográfica extensa, pré-existente. Os pacientes incluídos apresentaram atrofia geográfica, envolvendo a fóvea ou adjacente, antes do desenvolvimento da neovascularização de coróide. A […]

PURPOSE: To determine the reproducibility of the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and optic nerve head parameters measured with the optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in normal eyes. METHODS: Thirty-four eyes of 34 healthy patients were included in the study. The Cirrus OCT optic disc cube 200×200 protocol was used to obtain three scans from each eye to evaluate the reproducibility. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was calculated for the measurements of retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and optic nerve head […]
