Aqueous humor misdirection syndrome after glaucoma filtering surgery in patient with bilateral acute iris transillumination (BAIT) syndrome. / Síndrome de misdirección del humor acuoso tras cirugía filtrante de glaucoma en paciente con síndrome de transiluminación aguda iridiana bilateral (BAIT).

CASE REPORT: Bilateral Acute Iris Transillumination (BAIT) is a disease characterised by bilateral acute, severe pigment dispersion of the iris, and pupil sphincter paralysis. The case is reported of a 51-year-old female who was diagnosed with BAIT syndrome, with refractory ocular hypertension in the left eye, and who needed filtering surgery. Aqueous misdirection was developed a week after surgery, then pars plana vitrectomy was performed and the complication was solved. CONCLUSION: This is the first case described in literature of aqueous humor misdirection syndrome secondary to glaucoma filtering surgery in a patient diagnosed of BAIT syndrome. This is a recently defined disease with a few cases currently described.

External ophthalmomyiasis due to Dermatobia hominis. A case report. / Oftalmomiasis externa por Dermatobia hominis. A propósito de un caso.

CLINICAL CASE: A 46-year-old woman with no relevant medical history, native of Honduras and resident in Spain for one and a half months. The patient went to the Emergency Department due to inflammation of the upper eyelid of the right eye, with an area that simulated an abscess. This was drained (obtaining hardly any purulent content). Treatment was prescribed with oral and topical antibiotics, as well as an anti-inflammatory drug. One week later the patient returned, with improvement of the inflammatory signs, but with discomfort and corneal erosions. After eversion of the upper eyelid, a «worm¼ type parasite emerged from the tarsus. The extraction was completed with a clamp, and was later identified as Dermatobia hominis (Dh) by examination of a fresh specimen. The subsequent outcome of the patient was favourable. DISCUSSION: Preseptal cellulitis in patients from tropical and sub-tropical areas can be caused by Dh.

Acute bilateral serous central chorioretinopathy after emergency contraceptive therapy with ulipristal acetate. / Coriorretinopatía serosa central aguda bilateral tras terapia anticonceptiva de urgencia con acetato de ulipristal.

CASE REPORT: The case concerns a 31 year-old woman with no previous history who consulted due to decreased vision in both eyes. She mentioned taking 1 pill of ulipristal acetate (30mg) as an emergency contraceptive four days before the visual symptoms appeared. In the examination, a better corrected visual acuity of 0.6 was found in the right eye and 0.8 in left eye (by Snellen chart), and bilateral macular serous detachment. It was decided to observe, and 15 days later she showed a functional and anatomical improvement. DISCUSSION: Ulipristal acetate could lead to serous central chorioretinopathy due to its activity on the progesterone receptors present in choroidal and retinal pigment epithelium.

Optic nerve metastasis caused by lung adenocarcinoma. / Metástasis de nervio óptico secundaria a adenocarcinoma de pulmón.

INTRODUCTION: Isolated optic nerve metastases are extremely uncommon. Many cases are associated with involvement from locations such as the choroid, orbit, or central nervous system. Optic nerve metastases often have their origin in primary tumours of the breast, lung, and stomach, in adults. CASE REPORT: The case is presented of a 57 year-old woman with a diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma. Her first complaint was a sudden loss of visual acuity in her right eye. The diagnosis of optic nerve metastases was made based on her history, and the results of the MRI scan. DISCUSSION: Isolated optic nerve metastases are an uncommon condition, but should be suspected in any patient with a history of oncology who has deteriorated visual acuity.
