ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT A 21-year-old female presented with a 4-day history of decreased vision in her only functional eye (right eye, OD). She had a history of multiple ocular surgeries in both eyes because of congenital glaucoma and had lost light perception in her left eye several years prior. Ophthalmological examination revealed 0.15 Snellen visual acuity, and fundoscopy revealed nearly total cupping and pallor of the optic disc and multiple retinal hemorrhagic foci in the macula in OD. Lesions spontaneously resolved over a few months. Gravitational forces during a roller coaster ride may have caused this macular hemorrhage.
RESUMO
RESUMO Uma paciente de 21 anos de idade se apresentou com perda de visão há quatro dias em seu único olho com visão útil. Ela tinha uma história de cirurgias oculares múltiplas nos dois olhos devido a um glaucoma congênito e perda de percepção luminosa em olho esquerdo há muitos anos. O exame oftalmológico revelou acuidade visual de Snellen de 0,15 e na fundoscopia foi observada escavação do nervo óptico quase total e palidez de papila, assim como focos hemorrágicos múltiplos na região macular. As lesões se resolveram espontaneamente em alguns meses. Acreditamos que essas hemorragias maculares tenham sido causadas pelas forças gravitacionais geradas durante o passeio na montanha russa.
