- Phacoemulsification and 1% atropine eye drops for treatment of antimetropic congenital microcoria associated with cataracts(2019) FERREIRA, Bruno Fortaleza de Aquino; SCHMIDT, Marina Brandao; BARBOSA, Leonardo Jose; OYAMADA, Maria Kiyoko; CARRICONDO, Pedro CarlosA rare case of bilateral congenital microcoria associated with antimetropia in a 47-year-old man is here described. The patient presented with a chief complaint of progressive vision loss in his right eye over the past five years. A slit-lamp examination and ultrasound biomicroscopy confirmed congenital microcoria and cataracts. Phacoemulsification was performed using an iris expansion device and the anterior capsule was stained using the ""trypan down under"" technique. Preoperative considerations, the surgical approach, and postoperative management are discussed.
- Bactec (TM) blood culture bottles allied to MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry: rapid etiologic diagnosis of bacterial endophthalmitis(2017) TANAKA, Tatiana; OLIVEIRA, Luiza Manhezi de Freitas; FERREIRA, Bruno Fortaleza de Aquino; KATO, Juliana Mika; ROSSI, Flavia; CORREA, Karoline de Lemes Giuntini; PIMENTEL, Sergio Luis Gianotti; YAMAMOTO, Joyce Hisae; ALMEIDA JUNIOR, Joao NobregaMatrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) has been used for direct identification of pathogens from blood-inoculated blood culture bottles (BCBs). We showed that MALDI-TOF MS is an useful technique for rapid identification of the causative agents of endophthalmitis from vitreous humor-inoculated BCBs with a simple protocol.

- VITRECTOMY for STELLATE NONHEREDITARY IDIOPATHIC FOVEOMACULAR RETINOSCHISIS ASSOCIATED with OUTER RETINAL LAYER DEFECT(2022) MORAES, B. R. M.; FERREIRA, B. F. A.; NOGUEIRA, T. M.; NAKASHIMA, Y.; JúNIOR, H. P. P.; SOUZA, E. C.Purpose:To describe a case of stellate nonhereditary idiopathic foveomacular retinoschisis associated with outer retinal layer defect treated with pars plana vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane removal, and C3F8 tamponade.Methods:Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany) scans of a 46-year-old woman with unilateral stellate nonhereditary idiopathic foveomacular retinoschisis were acquired at baseline and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery.Results:Pars plana vitrectomy was performed after phacoemulsification. The vitreous was circumcised, and the internal limiting membrane was removed with a Tano brush, releasing tangential forces. The patient experienced progressive recovery of the outer retinal layers and improvement of visual acuity during follow-up.Conclusion:Stellate nonhereditary idiopathic foveomacular retinoschisis may be associated with outer retinal layer defect and severe vision loss. Pars plana vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane removal and C3F8 infusion seems to be a safe and feasible treatment in such cases, with potentially good anatomical and functional outcome. © 2022 Lippincott Williams and Wilkins.

- Frosted branch angiitis and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis as an initial onset of neuro-Behçet’s disease: a case report and review of the literature(2017) FERREIRA, B. F. D. A.; RODRIGUEZ, E. E. C.; PRADO, L. L. D.; GONCALVES, C. R.; HIRATA, C. E.; YAMAMOTO, J. H.Background: Frosted branch angiitis is a rare, severe condition. It can be either a primary or a secondary condition and is characterized by rapid deterioration of vision and fulminant retinal vasculitis that manifests as diffuse sheathing of retinal vessels, macular edema, papillitis, vitritis and anterior uveitis. We aimed to describe a case of frosted branch angiitis and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis as an initial neuro-Behçet’s disease onset. Diagnosis of Behçet’s disease was based on the current 2014 International Criteria for Behçet’s Disease and the International consensus recommendation criteria for neuro-Behçet’s disease. In addition, a literature review using search parameters of “frosted branch angiitis”, “Behçet” and “neuro-Behçet” in the PubMed database is presented. Case presentation: A 28-year-old Brazilian pardo woman presented to our hospital with abrupt bilateral vision loss associated with recurrent aphthous oral ulcers 6 months before visual symptom onset. A fundus examination showed bilateral widespread retinal vasculitis with venous and arterial white sheathing, optic disc swelling, macular edema, and retinal hemorrhages, leading to the diagnosis of frosted branch angiitis. An extensive systemic workup for retinal vasculitis was uneventful, except for brain magnetic resonance imaging demonstrating cerebral venous sinus thrombosis and lymphocytic aseptic meningitis. A diagnosis of neuro-Behçet’s disease was made, and treatment was started with methylprednisolone therapy 1 g/day for 5 consecutive days, followed by oral mycophenolate mofetil and infliximab 5 mg/kg infusion. The patient’s response was rapid, with improvement of visual acuity to hand movement and counting fingers by day 7 and final visual acuity of counting fingers and 20/130. Conclusions: Frosted branch angiitis may be associated with infectious, noninfectious, or idiopathic causes. An extensive workup should be done to exclude systemic vasculitis such as Behçet’s disease. Treatment with systemic steroids must be promptly initiated in association with specific treatment aimed at inflammation control and blindness risk reduction. © 2017 The Author(s).
