[Optical coherence tomography study in tamoxifen maculopathy]. / Maculopatía por tamoxifeno. Estudio mediante la tomografía de coherencia óptica.

CASE REPORT: We describe the case of a patient who presented with progressive and bilateral loss of vision. She had been treated with tamoxifen for 13 years. We performed fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography in order to study the macula. DISCUSSION: Loss of visual acuity related to tamoxifen maculopathy may be caused either by retinal nerve fibre atrophy or macular oedema. Macular findings obtained by fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography are complementary.

[Amniotic membrane transplantation after surgical resection in conjunctival Kaposi's sarcoma]. / Trasplante de membrana amniótica tras resección quirúrgica en sarcoma de Kaposi conjuntival.

OBJECTIVES/METHODS: To describe a case of isolated conjunctival Kaposi's sarcoma treated with surgical resection and amniotic membrane graft. After surgical resection of the lesion an amniotic membrane graft was used to reconstruct the conjunctival surface. Histological studies were performed. RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS: Rapid regeneration of the conjunctiva, with minimal scarring, occurred after the surgical procedure and no recurrence of the lesion was observed at 18 months of follow-up. Surgical resection with amniotic membrane grafting appears to be a useful therapeutic option in isolated conjunctival Kaposi's sarcoma.
