Presentación multifocal en 2 casos de maculopatía unilateral aguda idiopática / Multifocal presentation in 2 cases of unilateral acute idiopathic maculopathy

Presentamos 2 casos de maculopatía idiopática aguda unilateral en 2adultos jóvenes, un varón de 24 años y una mujer de 37 años. Ambos sufrieron una pérdida aguda de visión acompañada de manifestaciones clínicas compatibles con la maculopatía idiopática unilateral aguda. Como hallazgo excepcional, presentaron lesiones multifocales alrededor de una lesión central de mayor tamaño. Con el tiempo, se produjo la recuperación espontánea de la pérdida visual. La maculopatía idiopática aguda unilateral puede presentarse de formas distintas de la convencional, por lo que deberíamos considerar la posibilidad de encontrarnos ante estas formas atípicas (AU)

Two cases of multifocal unilateral acute idiopathic maculopathy are presented, one in a 24 year-old man, and another in a 37 year-old woman. Both of them presented with acute vision loss and clinical findings compatible with unilateral acute idiopathic maculopathy. As a relatively uncommon finding, they had multifocal lesions around a larger central lesion. They experienced a spontaneous improvement of their vision. Atypical presentations of unilateral acute idiopathic maculopathy like multifocal lesions are possible. Ophthalmologists should be aware of this rare form of presentation (AU)

Respuesta similar a la uveítis de recuperación inmune en un paciente con retinitis herpética como complicación de una leucemia de células peludas / Immune recovery uveitis in a patient with herpes retinitis as a complication of hairy cell leukaemia

Paciente de 51 años de edad con leucemia de células peludas tratado con pentostatina. Mientras recibía el tratamiento, desarrolló una retinitis herpética en el ojo derecho. Tras finalizar el tratamiento con pentostatina, presentó un cuadro de vitritis y edema macular quístico. No había signos de reactivación de la retinitis herpética. Tras excluir otras causas de inflamación intraocular, se estableció el diagnóstico de uveítis de recuperación inmune. El paciente fue tratado con triamcinolona intravítrea, corticoides orales, implantes de dexametasona intravítreos y, finalmente, vitrectomía. La uveítis de recuperación inmune puede aparecer en pacientes VIH negativos. La reconstitución inmune tras el tratamiento podría dar lugar a una inflamación intraocular. El manejo de esta puede ser bastante complicado, pudiendo ser necesaria la realización de una vitrectomía. La posibilidad de una uveítis de recuperación inmune en pacientes VIH negativos debería ser tenida en cuenta

A 51 year-old man with hairy cell leukaemia was treated with pentostatin. While receiving the treatment, he was diagnosed with herpes retinitis in his right eye. After the last cycle of pentostatin the patient developed a mild vitritis and cystoid macular oedema. There were no signs of herpes retinitis reactivation. After excluding other possible causes of intraocular inflammation, a diagnosis of immune recovery uveitis was made. The patient was treated with 2-monthly retro-septal injections of triamcinolone, oral corticosteroids, intravitreal dexamethasone implants and, finally, pars plana vitrectomy. An immune recovery uveitis-like response is possible in HIV negative individuals. The immune reconstitution after the treatment of hairy cell leukaemia may have led to intraocular inflammation. Management of immune recovery uveitis is challenging and difficult. Pars plana vitrectomy may be necessary. Ophthalmologists should be alert to the possibility of immune recovery uveitis in HIV negative patients

Coroidopatía, retinopatía y neuropatía óptica hipertensiva en un paciente con fracaso de trasplante renal / Hypertensive choroidopathy, retinopathy and optic neuropathy in renal transplantation failure

Varón de 32 años que presenta una elevación grave de la tensión arterial con cifras de 200/140 mmHg tras fracaso de trasplante renal. Se observaron múltiples desprendimientos serosos retinianos, dilatación venosa y atenuación de las arteriolas, hemorragias retinianas y edema del disco óptico. Ante la imposibilidad de realizar una angiografía fluoresceínica, la angiotomografía y las imágenes en face-tomografía de coherencia óptica permitieron identificar las alteraciones vasculares en retina, coroides y coriocapilar. La angiotomografía y las imágenes en modo en face-tomografía de coherencia óptica pueden ser de gran utilidad en la identificación de lesiones oftalmológicas vasculares relacionadas con la hipertensión maligna de aquellos casos en los que no sea posible realizar una angiografía fluoresceínica

A 32 year-old man who presented with severe elevation of blood pressure after failure of kidney transplant. The patient had multiple serous retinal detachments, venous dilation, arteriolar narrowing, retinal haemorrhages, as well as optic disc oedema. Due to the impossibility of performing a fluorescein angiography, an angiotomography and en-face optical coherence tomography images were used to identify the vascular alterations in the retina, choroid, and choriocapillaris. Angiotomography and en face-optical coherence tomography mode images are very useful in cases where it is not possible to perform fluorescein angiography

Necrosis retiniana como manifestación de aspergilosis invasiva en un paciente tratado con ruxolitinib / Invasive aspergillosis manifesting as retinal necrosis in a patient treated with ruxolitinib

Varón de 30 años de edad con leucemia mieloblástica aguda y síndrome mielodisplásico secundario que desarrolló una enfermedad injerto contra huésped. El paciente fue tratado con ruxolitinib, un inhibidor de la Janus quinasa. A los 3 meses de haber iniciado el tratamiento se produjo una necrosis retiniana por Aspergillus, sin respuesta al tratamiento. El tratamiento con inhibidores de la Janus quinasa favorecería un aumento en la incidencia de infecciones oportunistas. El uso de estos fármacos podría dar lugar a una menor eficacia de los tratamientos empleados

A 30 year-old man with acute myeloblastic leukaemia and secondary myelodysplastic syndrome developed graft-versus-host disease. The patient was treated with ruxolitinib. After being treated for 3 months with ruxolitinib, an inhibitor of Janus kinase, he developed Aspergillus retinal necrosis resistant to common treatment. Treatment with Janus kinase inhibitors may lead to an increased incidence of opportunistic infections. Janus kinase inhibitor administration may result in poor treatment efficacy
