This article reports two cases of Straatsma Syndrome, a rare disease, emphasizing its clinical features that inclued myopia, strabismus and amblyopia associated with persistent myelinated fibers in the retina. Ophthalmic examination, color retinography and optical coherence tomography were performed.

Este artigo relata dois casos de síndrome de Straatsma, uma doença rara, enfatizando suas características clínicas que incluem miopia, estrabismo e ambliopia associada a persistência de fibras de mielina na retina. Foram realizados exame oftalmológico, retinografia e tomografia de coerência óptica.

The etiological diagnosis of orbital myositis (OM) is a challenge. Although it has been associated with previous infectious disease, diseases with autoimmune background, thyroidopathies or with paraneoplasic syndrome, most of them still remain as idiopathic. We describe here a case of OM uncovering a Behçet disease that is considered a rare cause for this kind of eye involvement.

Trata-se de um caso de ceratite bilateral e simultânea por Acremonium relacionada ao uso intermitente e sem respeitar a lateralidade O diagnóstico etiológico da miosite orbitária (MO) é desafiador. Embora ela tenha sido relacionada com doenças infecciosas prévias, doenças associadas à autoimunidade, tireoidopatias ou síndromes para neoplásicas, a maioria delas ainda permanece como idiopática. Descreve-se aqui, um caso de MO revelando o diagnóstico de doença de Behçet, doença considerada como uma causa pouco comum para este tipo de envolvimento ocular.

Objectives: The purpose of this work is to assess the safety and the efficacy of multi-spot laser in comparison with the conventional laser in the treatment of non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy with CSME in relation to the visual outcome, central macular thickness by (OCT) and the presence of adverse events. Methods: prospective randomized study on total number of 50 eyes divided in two groups each one 25 patients . group A patients underwent focal, grid laser or modified grid macular laser […]

Objetivos: O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar a segurança e a eficácia do laser multi-spot em comparação com o laser convencional no tratamento da retinopatia diabética não proliferativa com CSME em relação ao resultado visual, à espessura macular central por (OCT) e à presença de eventos adversos. Métodos: estudo prospectivo randomizado sobre o número total de 50 olhos divididos em dois grupos, cada um de 25 pacientes. Os pacientes do grupo A foram submetidos a fotocoagulação focal, a laser de […]

Objective: To analyze the distribution of uveitis in patients at Uveitis Sector of Federal Hospital of Servants of Rio de Janeiro State. Methods: Retrospective epidemiological study of 63 appointments performed by ophthalmologist of Uveitis Sector at Federal Hospital of Servants of Rio De Janeiro State, between March and October of 2016. Results: The mean age was 45.54 (±15.8). 50.5% were female. Anterior uveitis corresponded to 63.49%. Only 33.3% of patient had an active inflammation at the moment of medical avaliation. […]

Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the effect of Nd: YAG laser capsulotomy on refraction, central macular thickness (CMT) and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness. Methods: 42 eyes of 42 patients who treated with Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy were included in thisprospective study. Spherical equivalent (SE), cyclindrical power refraction, CMT and RNFL thickness were evaluated preoperatively and at postoperative first day, first week and postoperative first month. Results: Spherical equivalent values and central macular thickness values did […]
