RESUMEN
CLINICAL CASE: A 29 year old patient with a history of sutured corneal wound treated with oral antibiotics and steroids. After stopping steroid treatment, he referred reduced visual acuity in the non-traumatized eye. Previous treatment was reintroduced and he was referred to our hospital diagnosed with sympathetic ophthalmia. Bilateral macular folds, white and yellowish lesions, and subretinal fluid were found. DISCUSSION: The association of stress, anxious personality, and steroid use can favor atypical presentations of central serous chorioretinopathy.

CASE REPORT: A 35 year-old female with a pigmented choroidal tumor in the inferotemporal quadrant, of 3.31 x 7.64 x 5.46 mm. The patient received an intravenous injection of 25 mg of indocyanine green previous to photocoagulation of the lesion with an 810 nm diode laser. After one year follow-up the tumor showed involution demonstrated by clinical and ultrasonographic evaluation. DISCUSSION: Indocyanine green allows maximal absortion of light energy delivered by diode laser, enhancing its action by making the deepest tissues vulnerable to photocoagulation and reducing time of exposure and number of sessions.
