Case Report: Birdshot chorioretinopathy: Importance of early diagnosis and therapeutic individualization |
|
Elisabet Martin Garcia, Leticia Rodríguez Vicente, José Javier Chávarri García, José Luis del Rio Mayor Pan Am J Ophthalmol 2020, 2:3 (23 January 2020) DOI:10.4103/PAJO.PAJO_25_19
Introduction: Birdshot chorioretinopathy (BCR) is a bilateral and recurrent posterior uveitis with an uncertain natural history and visual prognosis. Currently, there is no consensus on the best treatment option and its total duration.
Clinical Cases: We present a series of three clinical cases of patients with BCR diagnosed in different stages of the disease, which demonstrates the clinical spectrum of this pathology and their treatment with different immunomodulatory drugs.
Conclusion: As shown in our series of cases, the early use of immunomodulatory drugs is recommended with a close monitoring and individualized treatment to achieve the best anatomical and functional results.

Original Article: Quality of life results after vitreolysis in patients with symptomatic vitreous floaters |
|
Renzo Canote, Daniela Rodríguez, Luis Izquierdo, Roger Moncada, Carmen Maldonado, Alejandra Henriquez Maria Pan Am J Ophthalmol 2020, 2:2 (23 January 2020) DOI:10.4103/PAJO.PAJO_24_19
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the quality of life and visual results after yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) vitreolysis in symptomatic vitreous floaters.
Methods: This was a prospective case series study including patients with symptomatic floaters attending the Oftalmosalud Institute of eyes and underwent YAG laser vitreolysis. All patients completed the National Eye Institute Visual Functioning Questionnaire 25 for the quality of life assessment and the presence of floaters as well as the measure of the visual acuity reported preprocedure and after 3-month follow-up. Statistical analysis was done using score 0–100 for each question, and a sign test for paired samples was used.
Results: Twenty eyes of 20 patients were evaluated. The comparisons for the questionnaire show an improvement in the general vision (P = 0.008), near vision (P = 0.001), and distance vision (P = 0.012). Furthermore, the dependency of glasses (P = 0.012), the score of mental health (P = 0.007), and the best visual acuity (P = 0.004) were improved. Patients who referred improvement in the quality of life were 75% pseudophakic patients and 25% phakic patients. The complications were high intraocular pressure and subcapsular cataract.
Conclusions: Our study revealed a moderate improvement in floater symptoms and in quality of life and visual outcomes.

Marcela Feltrin de Barros, Livia Garcia Biselli, Gustavo Kalache, Marcelo Vicente de Andrade Sobrinho, Laryssa Pereira Alves, Daniella De Paiva Almeida Stucchi Pan Am J Ophthalmol 2020, 2:1 (23 January 2020) DOI:10.4103/PAJO.PAJO_22_19
We report a case of floppy eyelid syndrome (FES) treated with surgical approach at the PUC Campinas Hospital in 2019. This was a retrospective case report. A 42-year-old male patient diagnosed with FES. The patient elected for surgical repair due to severity of his symptoms. A lateral pentagonal upper eyelid resection was performed in the left eye, and eyelid tissue from the patient was examined using light microscopy and immunohistochemistry that revealed chronic conjunctival inflammation and papillary conjunctivitis. The pentagonal wedge resection is an effective treatment method that produces immediate relief of symptoms. In our case, no recurrence was observed up to 6-month follow-up.
