INTRODUÇÃO: O nosso objetivo foi avaliar as alterações vasculares coroideias em doentes com coriorretinopatia serosa central (CSC) utilizando tomografia de coerência ótica swept-source de campo alargado (WF SS-OCT) e angiografia de verde de indocianina de campo ultra-alargado (UWF ICGA). MÉTODOS: Estudo observacional prospetivo em doentes com CSC. Todos os doentes foram submetidos a UWF IGCA utilizando uma câma...
Our aim was to report a case of bilateral acute retinal necrosis (ARN). An asymptomatic 41-year-old female with history of AIDS was referred for screening of ocular manifestations of HIV. Patient had a BCVA of 20/40 OU. Slit-lamp examination showed bilateral inflammatory reaction of the anterior chamber. Fundus examination revealed bilateral necrotizing retinitis with retinal hemorrhages. Aqueous humor puncture...

Introduction: Our purpose was to evaluate the effect of eye rubbing discontinuation on the epithelial thickness profile by spectral-domain AS-OCT (anterior segment optical coherence tomography) in allergic children with no tomographic sign of corneal ectasia. Methods: Right-handed boys (average age 11.2 years, 8-12 years) with history of eye rubbing and relatively normal Pentacam (Oculus; Wetzlar, Germany) ex...
Purpose: Retinal folds (RF) are an underestimated complication of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) surgery. Our aim was to report a case of spontaneous resolution of a full-thickness RF with foveal involvement following an uncomplicated pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with intraocular gas tamponade for a superior on-macula RRD. Materials and Methods: Case report. Results: A 61-year old male underwent PPV...
