RESUMO
Introducción: El glaucoma es una de las entidades nosológicas con mayor prevalencia y constituye una de las principales causas de ceguera en el mundo desarrollado. La presión intraocular es el único factor de riesgo que puede ser controlado y se asocia a la presencia y progresión de la enfermedad. Objetivo: Describir la evolución de pacientes operados mediante la técnica de trabeculectomía. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional descriptivo, longitudinal y prospectivo de 128 pacientes con glaucoma crónico simple operados mediante la técnica de trabeculectomía en el Centro Oftalmológico de Santiago de Cuba, desde enero del 2017 hasta junio del 2019. Para ello, se analizaron las siguientes variables: edad, sexo, color de piel, agudeza visual preoperatoria y posoperatoria, presión intraocular antes y después de la operación, así como complicaciones posoperatorias. Resultados: Predominaron el sexo masculino (69,5 %), el grupo etario de 60-69 años (44,5 %) y el color de la piel negro (53,1 %). La hipertensión arterial fue la enfermedad asociada con más frecuencia y la hipertensión ocular, el factor de riesgo fundamental; en tanto, la complicación posoperatoria principal fue el hipema. Conclusiones: Con la trabeculectomía se logró controlar la tensión ocular en la mayoría de los pacientes y las complicaciones que se presentaron en algunos de ellos no interfirieron en su evolución. Esta técnica permitió disminuir el daño irreversible que provoca la hipertensión ocular del nervio óptico y, por consiguiente, prevenir la ceguera.
Introduction: Glaucoma is one of the nosologic entities with more prevalence and constitutes one of the main causes of blindness in the developed world. The intraocular pressure is the only risk factor that can be controlled and is associated with the presence and progression of the disease. Objective: To describe the evolution of patients operated by means of trabeculectomy technique. Methods: An observational descriptive, longitudinal and prospective study of 128 patients with simple chronic glaucoma operated by means of trabeculectomy technique was carried out in the Ophthalmology Center of Santiago de Cuba, from January, 2017 to June, 2019. For this purpose, the following variables were analyzed: age, sex, skin color, preoperative and postoperative visual acuteness, intraocular pressure before and after the operation, as well as postoperative complications. Results: There was a prevalence of male sex (69.5%), 60-69 age group (44.5%) and black skin color (53.1%). Hypertension was the most frequent associated disease and the ocular hypertension was the fundamental risk factor; meanwhile, the main postoperative complication was the hyphema. Conclusions: With trabeculectomy was possible to control ocular tension in most of the patients and the complications that were presented in some of them did not interfere in their clinical course. This technique made it possible to reduce the irreversible damage caused by ocular hypertension of the optic nerve and, consequently, to prevent blindness.
RESUMO
Introducción: El síndrome de uveítis-glaucoma-hifema (UGH) es una complicación infrecuente de las cirugías de catarata, debido a un roce mecánico ejercido por una lente intraocular (LIO) sobre el iris. Caso clínico: Un varón de 64 años, con antecedente de cirugía de catarata, presenta disminución de la agudeza visual y dolor en el ojo derecho. En el examen oftalmológico, se evidenciaron signos de uveítis anterior, presión intraocular (PIO) elevada, microhifema y una LIO de una pieza plegable en sulcus que provocaba un roce mecánico con la cara posterior del iris. El tratamiento médico fue insuficiente, por lo que se realizó una cirugía de explante de LIO de una pieza plegable y se reemplazó por una LIO de tres piezas plegables. La evolución posoperatoria fue favorable. Conclusión: Se debe sospechar de esta complicación, en pacientes con antecedente de cirugía de catarata, especialmente en casos en los cuales la LIO es de una pieza y ha sido implantada fuera del saco capsular.
Introduction: Uveitis-glaucoma-hyphema syndrome (UGH) is a rare complication of cataract surgery, due to mechanical chafing exerted by an intraocular lens (IOL) on the iris. Clinical case: A 64-year-old man with a history of cataract surgery, who presented decreased visual acuity and pain in the right eye. The ophthalmological examination revealed signs of anterior uveitis, elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), microhyphema, and a single-piece foldable IOL in the sulcus that caused a mechanical chafing with the posterior face of the iris. The medical treatment was insufficient; for this reason, a folding simple-piece IOL explant surgery was performed and replaced by a three-piece IOL. Postoperative evolution was favorable. Conclusion: Should be suspected this complication in patients with a history of cataract surgery, especially in cases in which the IOL is in single-piece and has been implanted outside the capsular bag.
RESUMO
Los traumas oculares son frecuentes en las urgencias de oftalmología. El tratamiento constituye un reto para el oftalmólogo, pues se enfrenta a un daño integral y complejo. Se presenta un paciente de 16 años, el cual fue hospitalizado en el Instituto Cubano de Oftalmología Ramón Pando Ferrer hace cuatro años por haber recibido un trauma contuso en ojo derecho el cual provocó hifema total. Durante su estadía hospitalaria se realiza lavado de cámara anterior ya que no se logró la reabsorción espontánea del mismo. Al visualizarse todas las estructuras oculares se diagnostican complicaciones como subluxación del cristalino, catarata, panuveítis, hemovítreo, desgarro retiniano y glaucoma traumáticos. Se bloquea el desgarro con láser y una vez compensado el cuadro inflamatorio, es egresado bajo tratamiento y seguimiento por oftalmología pediátrica. No se logra controlar el glaucoma y se implanta dispositivo de drenaje Molteno lo que estabiliza la tensión ocular. Se realiza posteriormente cirugía de catarata, manteniéndose compensado del glaucoma sin tratamiento y con calidad visual(AU)
Ocular traumas are frequent in ophthalmology emergencies. Treatment is a challenge for the ophthalmologist, as he faces a comprehensive and complex damage. A 16-year-old patient is presented, who was hospitalized at the Cuban Institute of Ophthalmology Ramón Pando Ferrer 4 years ago for having received a blunt trauma to the right eye which caused total hyphema. During his hospital stay, anterior chamber lavage was performed since spontaneous reabsorption was not achieved. When all ocular structures are visualized, complications such as lens subluxation, cataract, panuveitis, hemovitreous, traumatic retinal tear and glaucoma are diagnosed. The tear was blocked with a laser and once the inflammatory condition was compensated, he was discharged under treatment and monitoring by pediatric ophthalmology. The glaucoma could not be controlled and a Molteno drainage device was implanted, which stabilizes the ocular tension. Cataract surgery was subsequently performed, keeping the glaucoma compensated without treatment and with visual quality(AU)

AIM AND OBJECTIVE: To present a case of bilateral delayed-onset hyphema following the administration of a 1% tropicamide and 2.5% phenylephrine fixed combination ophthalmic agent, in the late follow-up period of a gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) combined with cataract extraction. BACKGROUND: Gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy consists on a 360° trabeculotomy through an ab interno approach that may also be combined with cataract surgery. Delayed-onset hyphema has been reported with trabecular minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) procedures. Some proposed mechanisms are ocular compression and decompression during sleeping on the surgical side and episcleral venous pressure rise after physical activity. CASE DESCRIPTION: We describe the case of a 68-year-old female patient with ocular hypertension (OHT) and bilateral cataracts who underwent uncomplicated combined GATT and cataract extraction surgery. Postoperatively, 8 months after the left eye (OS) surgery and 3 months after the right eye (OD) surgery, patient came for routine evaluation. After induced mydriasis, slit-lamp evaluation revealed the presence of 3+ OD and 4+ OS erythrocytes in the anterior chamber (AC). Prednisolone acetate was prescribed q.i.d. and remission of hyphema was achieved after 2 weeks. Subsequently, 4 months later, the pupil dilation was again induced showing 4+ erythrocytes in both eyes (OU), layered hyphema in the inferior quadrant OS, and intraocular pressure (IOP) spike OU. The intraocular pressure was controlled after oral acetazolamide was prescribed. Topic prednisolone was initiated, and after 1 week, the hyphema was resolved in OU. CONCLUSION: Delayed-onset microhyphema may occur following induced mydriasis even months after the uncomplicated GATT procedure. Ophthalmologists should be aware of the possibility of microhyphema after induced mydriasis and the risks that this might represent with noteworthy and repeated IOP spikes which may eventually require treatment. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Delayed-onset hyphema and IOP spikes may occur following the pupil dilation with fixed combination of phenylephrine and tropicamide ophthalmic agent after the uncomplicated GATT procedure.

RESUMO
Aim. To analyze clinical features, treatment, and results of patients with non-penetrating traumatic hyphema in an ophthalmological center in Colombia. Methods. A retrospective cohort study in which medical records of patients with traumatic hyphema were analyzed between 2013 and 2018. Results. 38 eyes of 37 patients (34 men, 3 women) were included. Average age was 30.6 ± 16.6 years. Sports-related (42.1%) and occupational accidents (34.2%) were the main causes. 67.5% of the eyes had grade I hyphema. 95% received topical corticosteroids, 92.1% topical mydriatics and 52.63% ocular hypotensive eyedrops. Two eyes with hyphema grade I did not receive steroids and resolved uneventfully. None of the eyes rebleeded, even without antifibrinolytics. One patient with grade IV hyphema required surgery. Mean hyphema's clearance time was 8.4 ± 3.2 days. The last mean corrected distance visual acuity was LogMAR 0.25. There were no complications directly related to the hyphema. Conclusions. Working related activities were the second cause of traumatic hyphema in our cohort, which might be attributable to poor awareness of the importance or ocular protection, or limited access to recommended protective devices. Outpatient management enabled adequate outcomes. Corticosteroids and mydriatics were the treatment cornerstone, though seemed not to be imperative when hyphema was grade I. We were not able to support the contributive role from antifibrinolytics, because none of our patients rebleeded in spite of the absence of them. Abbreviations: IOP = intraocular pressure, AC = anterior chamber, CDVA = corrected distance visual acuity.

BACKGROUND: Iris microhemangiomatosis is a rare vascular iris tumor, with potential severe complications such as increased intraocular pressure (IOP). We aim to describe a case report of a patient presenting with hyphema secondary to iris microhemangiomatosis triggered by excessive high blood pressure. CASE PRESENTATION: A 74-year-old woman was treated for hypertensive crisis. After her high blood pressure had been controlled and stabilized, she was discharged home. However, the same day, she complained about an acute decrease in vision in her left eye. Best corrected visual acuity was 20/20 on the right eye and 20/200 on the left eye. On biomicroscopy, a hyphema was seen. Iris neovascularization was absent, IOP and fundus examination were normal. After spontaneous resolution of the hyphema, a fluorescein angiography of the anterior segment was performed, which revealed bilateral subtle early hyperfluorescence with late staining scattered at the pupillary margin. The patient was diagnosed with iris microhemangiomatosis. During the follow-up of 24 months, the blood pressure was stable and well controlled. The patient did not experience any recurrent hemorrhage. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Spontaneous hyphema is the most common complication of iris vascular tumors. We report the occurrence of a spontaneous hyphema triggered by uncontrolled blood pressure in a patient with a very rare condition, i.e., iris microhemangiomatosis. In order to avoid complications of microhemangiomatosis such as uncontrolled glaucoma or recurrent bleeding requiring surgery, blood pressure should be monitored closely and controlled.
RESUMO
A 71-year-old woman presented with spontaneous microhyphema in her left eye, causing blurry vision. Bleeding stopped spontaneously shortly after several cycles of digital compression on the upper eyelid, (which were documented in video), and therefore, did not require laser photocoagulation, a possible approach previously explained to the patient. A microhemangioma at the edge of the iris was identified to be the cause of the condition. The hemorrhage did not recur during the follow-up period (9 months).

Massive hyphaema presentation after a laser iridotomy is very rare. We report a 63-year-old man with ischaemic heart disease on dual antiplatelet therapy (aspirin plus ticagrelor) who was diagnosed as a primary angle-closure suspect and was to undergo a neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet laser iridotomy at Centro Oftalmológico Virgilio Galvis, Floridablanca, Colombia in 2016. While performing the iridotomy in the left eye, active bleeding occurred that finally filled approximately 75% of the anterior chamber. Intraocular pressure (IOP) increased to 62 mmHg. Mannitol and a topical dorzolamide/timolol were used to control the increase in IOP. The hyphaema slowly resolved over the following week without sequelae. This case revealed that massive hyphaema can complicate laser iridotomy in patients on dual antiplatelet therapy, although this is rare. Therefore, if patients are taking aspirin and ticagrelor, it would be advisable to stop the second medication if possible. In addition, sequential application of photocoagulation and photodisruption lasers might diminish the risk of significant bleeding.

Purpose: To quantify fibrin degradation products after topical and subconjunctival administration of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator in rabbits. Methods: Fibrin formation was induced in the anterior chamber in 25 rabbits. Subsequently, five rabbits received an injection of r-TPA (positive control) in the anterior chamber, another 10 received a subconjunctival injection of r-TPA, and the remaining 10 received instillations of topical r-TPA. Afterwards, samples of aqueous humor were collected and semi-quantitative analysis of fibrin degradation products (FDP) was performed. Results: No statistical differences were noted between the treatment and control groups at any time point. Fibrin degradation products semi-quantification showed statistical improvement in the control group and the subconjunctival group. Conclusion: Fibrin degradation products were observed in the anterior chamber after subconjunctival administration of r-TPA. However, it was probably not sufficient to cause fibrin degradation. Topical r-TPA did not effectively absorb anterior chamber fibrin. .
Objetivo: Quantificar produtos de degradação de fibrina (PDF) após uso tópico e subconjunctival de ativador de plasminogênio tecidual recombinante (r-TPA) em coelhos. Métodos: Formação de fibrina foi induzida na câmara anterior em 25 coelhos. Cinco coelhos foram submetidos a injeção intracameral de r-TPA (controle positivo). Dez coelhos foram submetidos a injeção subconjuntival de r-TPA e dez coelhos foram submetidos a instilação tópica de r-TPA. Amostras de humor aquoso foram coletados e uma análise quantitativa dos produtos de degradação de fibrina foi realizada. Resultados: Não foi observado diferença estatisticamente significativa na degradação de fibrina em nenhum dos momentos estudados quando comparados com o controle. Porém foi observado diferença estatisticamente significante na quantificação do produtos de degradação de fibrina no grupo controle e no grupo subconjuntival. Conclusão: Produtos de degradação de fibrina foi observado nas amostras do grupo subconjunctival, porém, provavelmente não foi suficiente para degradar a fibrin presente. r-TPA tópico não foi efetivo em absorver fibrina na câmara anterior. .

Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo y longitudinal de 34 pacientes con hifema ocasionado por trauma, ingresados en el Servicio de Oftalmología Hospital General Docente "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" de Santiago de Cuba, de enero a diciembre de 2013, con vistas a caracterizarles según algunas variables clinicoepidemiológicas. En la serie se observó un predominio del sexo masculino (64,7 %) y el grupo etario de 40-49 años (32,4 %); en tanto, el hifema de grado I fue el más representativo clínicamente (41,2 %), producido por traumas contusos en la mayoría de los afectados (76,5 %), y las complicaciones más frecuentes fueron la hipertensión ocular (23,5 %) y la uveítis (17,6 %). No obstante, el tratamiento adecuado y oportuno permitió que el mayor porcentaje de los pacientes mejoraran la agudeza visual.
A descriptive, retrospective and longitudinal study of 34 patients with hyphema caused by trauma, admitted in the Ophthalmology Service of "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" Teaching General Hospital in Santiago de Cuba was carried out from January to December, 2013, aimed at characterizing them according to some clinical and epidemiological variables. A prevalence of the male sex was observed in the series (64.7%) and the age group 40-49 (32.4%); while, the degree I hyphema was clinically the most representative (41.2%), caused by contusion traumas in most of the affected ones (76.5%), and the most frequent complications were the ocular hypertension (23.5%) and uveitis (17.6%). However, the appropriate and opportune treatment allowed that the highest percentage of the patients improved the visual acuity.

El hipema, consecuencia común del trauma ocular, es considerado una emergencia diagnóstica y terapéutica por las lesiones oculares que determinan su aparición y las complicaciones que puede originar. Sin embargo, su tratamiento continúa siendo un desafío donde aún no existe un consenso unánime. En esta investigación se profundiza en cuestiones que han resultado polémicas como la hospitalización, uso de midriáticos, parches oculares, fibrinolíticos, esteroides sistémicos, inhibidores del ácido aminocaproico, cirugía precoz, entre otros
Hyphema, common consequence of the ocular trauma, is considered a diagnostic and therapeutic emergency due to the ocular lesions that determine their appearance and the complications that may occur. However, the treatment of hyphema continues being a challenge since unanimous consent does not exist yet. This study intended to delve into questions that are controversial as the hospitalization, the use of midriatic drops use, ocular patches, systemic steroids, aminocaproic acid inhibitors, the early surgery, among others
RESUMO
Se hizo un estudio descriptivo y transversal de 100 pacientes operados de catarata senil (un ojo en cada caso) con la técnica de M. Blumenthal en el municipio de San Francisco, estado Zulia (Venezuela), en el período febrero- agosto de 2007. Se halló predominio de la catarata en ancianos de 60-69 años y del sexo femenino, de la agudeza visual por debajo de 0.1 y de la catarata mixta. Se obtuvo mejoría visual entre la unidad de visión y 0.3 en casi la totalidad de los integrantes de la casuística y fue bajo el número de complicaciones (con primacía del hifema), todo lo cual reveló que esta técnica resultó ser eficaz para el tratamiento quirúrgico de la citada afección
A descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out in 100 patients operated on for senile cataract (an eye in each case) with the M. Blumenthal technique in San Francisco municipality, Zulia (Venezuela), from February to August 2007. There was prevalence of cataract in 60-69 year-old females, visual acuity below 0.1 and mixed cataract. Visual improvement was obtained between the unit of vision and 0.3 in almost all the patients of the series, and the number of complications (with predominance of hyphema) was low, which revealed that this technique was effective for the surgical treatment of the abovementioned condition

El xantogranuloma juvenil es un tumor benigno secundario a una proliferación de células histiocíticas que se presenta en lactantes y niños; su aparición en adultos es ocasional. Se inicia en forma repentina por la aparición de lesiones cutáneas papulonodulares rojizo anaranjadas, redondeadas, de 2 a 6 mm, que se localizan preferentemente en cara y parte superior del cuerpo. Se resuelve en forma espontánea en un período variable. Las lesiones suelen estar limitadas a la piel pero pueden tener otra localización. La ocular es una de las que puede presentar severas complicaciones que incluyen glaucoma, hipema, proptosis y amaurosis como en la paciente de 4 meses que presentamos.
Juvenile xantogranuloma (JXG) is a benign tumor due to the prolifera-tion of histiocytic cells, which appears in infants and children and occasionanlly in adults. It has a sudden onset which consists of erythematous or yellowish, papulonodular, slightly raised lesions, with a diameter varying from 2 to 6 mm. It is usually located on the face and upper part of the body, and has a spontaneous remission in a variable period of time. Although lesions are usually limited to the skin, other organs may be involved. Ocular involvement may lead to severe complications including glaucoma, hyphema, proptosis and blindness, as the four months-old patient we report.
