Article: ¿Pterigion? grave error diagnóstico |
|
Leila Marroquín Pan Am J Ophthalmol 2005, 4:8 (1 January 2005)
Pterygium is a common benign lesion in countries near the equator due to its association with extensive solar exposure. Other etiologic factors such as human papillomavirus infection are still controversial. Four cases of ocular surface squamous neoplasia initially diagnosed as pterygium are described. Improper specimen handling lead to inadequate therapy and enucleation in three cases.
RESUMEN
El pterigion, debido a su asociación con exposición solar severa, es una patología benigna frecuente en los países cercanos al ecuador. La presencia de otros factores causales como la infección por papilomavirus humano es aún controversial. Se presentan cuatro casos de neoplasias escamosas de la superficie ocular (NESO) confundidas clínicamente con pterigion, en las cuales el incorrecto manejo del especimen llevó al tratamiento inadecuado y en tres casos, a la pérdida del globo ocular.

Article: The Use of Fibrin Glue in Pterygium Surgery |
|
Richard Davidson, Darren Gregory, Michael Taravella Pan Am J Ophthalmol 2005, 4:6 (1 January 2005)
Purpose: To demonstrate the use of fibrin glue as an alternative to sutures in the scleral fixation of conjunctival autografts during pterygium surgery.
Methods: Review of the literature and description of the authors’ current technique.
Conclusion: Fibrin glue appears to be a safe alternative to sutures as a means of fixating conjunctival autografts during pterygium surgery. A theoretical risk exists for the transmission of viral or prion-based diseases however no documented cases of transmission have been reported.

Rocío Ardito Vega Pan Am J Ophthalmol 2005, 4:4 (1 January 2005)
The frontal sling is a surgical technique to correct severe ptosis with minimal or absent elevador muscle function. Despite the development of new synthetic materials, the fascia is still the best alternative. We describe the most used procedures to obtein the fascia and to make the frontal sling. We emphasize the use of the materials and techniques that are available for all the ophthalmologist.
RESÚMEN
La suspensión al frontal es una técnica para corregir ptosis severas en las que la función del músculo elevador es mínima o nula. A pesar de la aparición de nuevos materiales sintéticos la fascia lata sigue siendo la mejor alternativa. Describimos los procedimientos más usados para extraer la fascia y para realizar la suspensión al frontal, haciendo hincapié en el uso de técnicas y materiales al alcance de todos los oftalmólogos.
