[Horner's Syndrome: an unusual ophthalmological presentation of Hodgkin lymphoma]. / Síndrome de Horner: presentación oftalmológica inusual de linfoma de Hodgkin.

Horner's Syndrome (HS) is a neurological syndrome characterised by the triad incomplete pupillary miosis, palpebral ptosis and facial anhidrosis, due to a lesion of the oculosympathetic pathway, formed of three neurons from the hipothalamus to the eye. Identifying its cause is a diagnostic challenge since in spite of its apparent lack of clinical importance, HS can be the first or only manifestation of a serious, or even potentially mortal disorder. We present the case of a 19-year-old male patient with a history of nonspecific ocular pains of two months evolution. He attended the emergency ophthalmological clinic where he was diagnosed with an HS as the first clinical manifestation of Hodgkin lymphoma.

Síndrome de Horner: presentación oftalmológica inusual de linfoma de Hodgkin / Horner’s Syndrome: an unusual ophthalmological presentationof Hodgkin lymphoma

El Síndrome de Horner (SH) es un síndrome neurológico que se caracteriza por la triada miosis pupilar incompleta, ptosis palpebral y anhidrosis facial debido a la lesión de la vía oculosimpática, compuesta por tres neuronas, desde el hipotálamo hasta el ojo. Identificar su causa representa un reto diagnóstico ya que, a pesar de su aparente levedad clínica, el SH puede ser la primera o única manifestación de un trastorno grave o incluso potencialmente mortal. Presentamos el caso de un paciente varón de 19 años con una historia de molestias oculares inespecíficas de dos meses de evolución. Acudió a la consulta de urgencias de Oftalmología en la que fue diagnosticado de un SH como primera manifestación clínica de linfoma de Hodgkin (AU)

Ciclodiálisis traumática tratada con criopexia / Traumatic cyclodialysis treated with cryopexy

La ciclodiálisis es el resultado de la separación de las fibras longitudinales del músculo ciliar de su inserción escleral, creando estados de hipotonía ocular. Es causada principalmente por traumatismos. La gonioscopia ha sido tradicionalmente la prueba diagnóstica para esta entidad, sin embargo, en la actualidad está siendo sustituida por otras técnicas, como la biomicroscopía ultrasónica (BMU). Presentamos el caso de un varón de 57 años que tras sufrir un traumatismo en el ojo izquierdo con un disco de sierra radial, presentó perforación corneal y hemorragia vítrea con edema panretiniano. La gonioscopia fue normal a pesar de la existencia de hipotonía ocular persistente. La realización de una BMU permitió diagnosticar una pequeña ciclodiálisis, inferior de diez grados. El tratamiento quirúrgico permitió recuperar una presión intraocular normal (AU)

Cyclodialysis is the result of the separation of the longitudinal fibres of the ciliary muscle from their scleral insertion, creating states of ocular hypotony. It is mainly caused by traumatisms. Gonioscopy has traditionally been the diagnostic test for this entity, however, at present it is being replaced by other techniques, such as ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM). We present the case of a 57-year-old male who, following a traumatism in the left eye caused by the disc of a radial saw, presented corneal perforation and vitreous haemorrhage with pan-retinal edema. The gonioscopy was normal in spite of the existence of persistent ocular hypotony. The realization of a UBM enabled diagnosis of a small cyclodialysis of less than ten degrees. Surgical treatment made it possible to recover normal intraocular pressure (AU)
