For clinical suspicion of chronic endophthalmitis, empirical treatment was initiated with vancomycin and ceftazidime without clinical improvement. The patient was submitted to pars plana vitrectomy. During surgery rhegmatogenous retinal detachment was observed and treated. At the end of surgery, intravitreal vancomycin was injected. After 18 days BCVA was counting fingers and fundus examination showed diffuse retinal vascular sheathing, intraretinal hemorrhages and ischemic macular whitening. The clinical diagnosis was compatible with HORV secondary to retinal toxicity due to intraocular vancomycin.CONCLUSIONS: This case illustrates the importance of including intravitreal vancomycin during PPV surgery on the list of potential causes when investigating a case of suspected hemorrhagic occlusive retinal vasculitis.","PeriodicalId":53032,"journal":{"name":"Vision PanAmerica","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88643279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: A retrospective chart review of 11 patients referred for evaluation of thyroid eye disease at a pediatric tertiary care facility in Miami, Florida.Results: The average age at presentation was 12.7 years. The most common ocular complaint was mild irritation. Patients tended to be positive for thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin and thyroid peroxidase antibody. The average displacement on Hertel exophthalmometry was 21mm for the right eye, and 21.45mm for the left eye. Lower scleral show was the most common eyelid finding. Conclusion: In contrast to thyroid eye disease in adults, the condition tends to present with mild ocular findings in children. Pediatric patients presenting with thyroid eye disease respond very well to medical therapy aimed at enhancing the altered ocular surface.","PeriodicalId":53032,"journal":{"name":"Vision PanAmerica","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88305448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Optical coherence tomography with angiography (OCT-A) is a non-invasive exam that analyzes macular retinal circulation with high resolution, and therefore, could be a useful diagnostic exam in these patients.Material and methods: Analysis of 14 eyes of 8 patients with Behçet uveitis from our institution that were examined by OCT A (AngioPlex®, Zeiss). Macular morphology, area, perimeter and circularity of the foveal avascular zone, as well as central internal and global macular vascular density were evaluated. We compared our results with healthy controls.Results: Mean visual acuity in the patient’s subgroup was 0,84±0,25 and 3 eyes had previous diagnosis of retinal vasculitis with fluorescein angiography. Morphologically we found attenuation of the superficial and deep capillary plexus in 8 eyes, and in 1 of these eyes atrophy of the internal retinal layers was also found in a localized territory. In the foveal avascular area, no statistically significant changes were observed in its area and perimeter (p=0.804 and p=0.380 respectively), although we did find significant changes in its circularity (p=0.027). Vascular density was significantly altered in the internal (p=0.023) and global (p=0.028) macular parameters.Conclusion: We found changes in the macular microcirculation in patients with Behçet uveitis, even in the absence of angiographic changes. Future studies with more patients are necessary to understand the clinical significance of these changes.","PeriodicalId":53032,"journal":{"name":"Vision PanAmerica","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85433119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We report a case series of three Latin American patients with iridoschisis; all of them associated with narrow angles, and one with history of chronic angle closure glaucoma. The patients had no previous history of ocular trauma or inherited ocular disease. As a new finding, we present a case of unilateral hyphema as the presenting sign of this entity. Conclusions: Chronic open-angle glaucoma; as well as intermittent angle-closure glaucoma, should be excluded in all patients with iridoschisis, and regular follow-up should be established after diagnosis. After having presented an unusual way of presentation; such as unilateral hyphema (with no previous documented reference of this sign) we have widened the spectrum of clinical findings for the suspicion and diagnosis of this pathology.","PeriodicalId":53032,"journal":{"name":"Vision PanAmerica","volume":"37 1","pages":"84-88"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77842265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Metodos: Se realizo un estudio transversal, que incluyo a 105 pacientes que acudieron a la consulta de glaucoma en la Fundacion Oftalmologica Nacional, entre abril de 2010 y junio de 2011. Resultados: La distribucion con respecto al genero fue similar, el 53.3% fueron hombres. La edad promedio fue 64.8 anos (rango 25-88 anos). El nivel de escolaridad fue similar en los diferentes grupos: primaria 34.3%, licenciatura 35%, profesional 29.9%. El 67.7% de los pacientes documentaron adherencia al tratamiento; de estos, el 91.4% tiene un proveedor estable de las gotas, en el 53.3% las gotas fueron suministradas por su seguro medico, en el 37.1% fueron compradas por el paciente, en el 5.7% fueron suministradas como una muestra medica por el oftalmologo tratante y el 3.8% respondio que no tienen un proveedor estable para las gotas. El genero no se asocio con la adherencia al tratamiento (p 0,53). No se encontro asociacion estadisticamente significativa entre la adherencia al tratamiento y el nivel educativo (p 0,56), si se comprende o no la informacion proporcionada por el medico tratante (p 0,314) o el numero de viales requeridos para el tratamiento (p 0,75). Los pacientes que tenian un proveedor estable de las gotas tenian una mayor adherencia al tratamiento (p <0.001). El proveedor estable de las gotas es un factor protector para la adherencia al tratamiento del glaucoma (OR 0.26 CI 0.186-0.365). Conclusion: Podemos concluir que la causa principal de la no adherencia al tratamiento topico del glaucoma o la hipertension intraocular en nuestro pais es no tener acceso a la medicacion. Sera interesante analizar el impacto en el futuro del nuevo sistema de salud propuesto por nuestra autoridad competente en la adherencia a los tratamientos cronicos en oftalmologia.","PeriodicalId":53032,"journal":{"name":"Vision PanAmerica","volume":"68 1","pages":"66-70"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90285669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
