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.

Purpose: To correlate clinical findings of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease with standardized echography findings in a cross-sectional, descriptive and observational study. Methods: Patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease in the convalescent and recurrence phases were evaluated with standardized ocular echography. Eyes with opaque media were excluded. Clinical findings were correlated with echographic data. Results: Thirty-seven eyes of 25 patients were included. Best corrected visual acuity was in average 20/100 (0.70 logMAR). Clinical findings included: sunset glow fundus (92%), pigment migration (92%), nummular chorioretinal depigmented […]

Purpose: Register and compare anatomical changes, structural and quantitative found in optical coherence tomography Stratus and Topcon 3D in chronic users of chloroquine. Methods: Five patients were diagnosed with toxic “bull’s eye” maculopathy was submitted to macular optical coherence tomography examination (Stratus and Topcon 3D). Results: Both tools demonstrated an increase reflectivity of choriocapillaris unit just foveal retinal pigment epithelium atrophy. However, Topcon 3D provided to all patients better description of the line corresponding to the transition between inner and […]

Objetivo: Comparar e registrar as alterações quantitativas e qualitavivas na tomografia de coerência óptica nos pacientes com uso prolongado de cloroquina. Métodos: Avaliaram-se cinco pacientes com diagnóstico de bull’s eye no exame de tomografia de coerência óptica macular com dois modelos de aparelhos: Stratus e Topcon 3D. Resultados: Ambos aparelhos registraram aumento da refletividade coriocapilar foveal provocada pela atrofia do epitélio pigmentar da retina. Somente o Topcon 3D permitiu melhor visibilização da linha de transição entre o segmento interno e […]
