ABSTRACT Retinal vasoproliferative tumor is a rare disease associated with several sight-threatening complications. The optimum management of retinal vasoproliferative tumor is unknown and the need of surgery arises when there is diagnostic uncertainty or sight-threatening complications, such as 23G pars plana vitrectomy, perfluorooctane retinal flattening, fluid drainage through a peripheral retinotomy, fluid-air exchange, laser photocoagulation of the retinal vasoproliferative tumor, and 12.5% C3F8 tamponade. We described two cases of retinal vasoproliferative tumor with exudative retinal detachment threatening the macula, treated […]

Objective: The primary objective of the study is to evaluate, in a population in the state of Bahia, Brazil, the impact of ranibizumab in best-corrected visual acuity of patients with macular disease and macular edema. Methods: This study did a retrospective and observational assessment visual acuity of the group of patients followed at the Professor Edgard Santos University Hospital and Oftalmodiagnose Eye Hospital in 2011 and 2012 in a real life context. Results: The impact on sample patientes post-treatment demonstrated […]

Objetivo: O objetivo principal do estudo é avaliar, em uma população no estado da Bahia, o impacto do ranibizumab na acuidade visual melhor corrigida de pacientes com doença macular e edema macular. Métodos: Para isso, fizemos uma avaliação retrospectiva e observacional da acuidade visual do grupo de pacientes seguidos no Hospital Universitário Professor Edgard Santos e Oftalmodiagnose Hospital de Olhos em 2011 e 2012 em um contexto de vida real.

The objective of this work is to evaluate the profile of intravitreal applications of Ranibizumab in a population of adults attended at the Benjamin Constant Institute in the year of 2015, taking into account the effect on visual acuity and macular thickness after the treatment. The secondary objective is to present the main indications of this type of treatment in the eye care mentioned above. A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed in individuals over 20 years of age between March […]

We report a 41-years-old woman with idiopathic intracranial hyperthension (psedotumor cerebri syndrome) that presented with visual loss in one eye due to subretinal neovascular membrane involving the macular area. Despite the introduction of adequate medical treatment followed by optic nerve sheath fenestration that lead to optic disc edema regression there was no improvement in the subretinal neovascular membrane even after performing three sequential intravitreal injection of bevacizumab. We stress the importance of recognizing this uncommon complication of papilledema and review […]
