[Complex visual hallucinations in a patient with bilateral visual impairment (Charles Bonnet syndrome)]. / Alucinaciones visuales complejas en un paciente con déficit visual severo en ambos ojos (síndrome de Charles Bonnet).

PURPOSE/METHODS: To report the occurrence of complex visual hallucinations in a 69-year-old female with bilateral age-related macular degeneration and unilateral cataract. Her orientation and cognition were normal and she showed no evidence of psychiatric symptoms. RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS: A case of a patient who presented with visual symptoms characteristic of the Charles Bonnet syndrome is reported. Various conditions associated with visual hallucinations must be kept in mind by the ophthalmologist (Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol 2003; 78: 327-330).

[Suprachoroidal haemorrhage and acute glaucoma associated with systemic fibrinolysis]. / Hemorragia supracoroidea y glaucoma agudo asociado a fibrinolisis sistémica.

PURPOSE/METHOD: To describe the clinical case of a patient with acute myocardial infarction and an ocular haemorrhage as a complication of the use of systemic thrombolytic agents. RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS: A patient who received therapy with tissue plasminogen activator for an acute myocardial infarction developed three hours later a massive suprachoroidal haemorrhage with secondary acute angle closure. In patients who have undergone systemic thrombolytic agents, the presence of loss of vision and pain must alert to the possibility of secondary ocular haemorrhage. These patients may benefit from continuous control (Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol 2002; 77: 459-462).
