RESUMO
Ophthalmic rehabilitation refers to the multidisciplinary approach to restoring, maximizing, and preserving the visual function and quality of life for patients affected by ocular manifestations of cancer or its treatments. Besides its approach to low vision, ophthalmic rehabilitation also encompasses a series of reconstructive interventions to mitigate anatomic deficits that may interplay with visual impairment. A gamut of oncologic conditions may result in ocular disabilities, including primary intraocular tumours, secondary metastases, or adverse effects of systemic therapies such as chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Methods of ophthalmic rehabilitation are evolving constantly and involve the prescription of optical aids and adaptive technologies to enhance remaining vision, as well as supportive training and counselling to address psychosocial effects. Although studies in low vision have mostly covered aspects of rehabilitation in inherited and degenerative eye conditions, ophthalmic rehabilitation within the context of cancer carries specificities that have been poorly explored in the literature on ophthalmology and oncology. This review aims to build on the trends of low vision management, ocular oncology treatments, orbital reconstructive surgery, and visual therapy to revise the published rationale behind evaluating and managing patients facing debilitating ocular sequelae as the result of cancer.
RESUMO
ABSTRACT We report the case of a 39-year-old male patient who presented with visual loss in the right eye for 6 weeks. The best-corrected visual acuity was counting fingers in the right eye and 20/30 in the left eye. The fundus examination demonstrated a right retinal detachment inferiorly extending to the fovea and a left macular serous detachment. After multimodal imaging study, the patient was diagnosed as having a bullous variant of central serous chorioretinopathy and treated with oral spironolactone associated with adjuvant laser photocoagulation. The retinal changes resolved after 6 months. The final visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes.
RESUMO Relatamos o caso de um homem de 39 anos apresentando perda visual no olho direito há seis semanas. A melhor acuidade visual corrigida foi conta-dedos no olho direito e 20/30 no esquerdo. A fundoscopia demonstrou descolamento de retina direito inferiormente com extensão à fóvea e descolamento macular seroso à esquerda. Após estudos de imagem multimodal, o paciente foi diagnosticado com uma variante bolhosa de coriorretinopatia serosa central e tratado com espironolactona oral associada à fotocoagulação a laser adjuvante. As alterações retinianas resolveram após seis meses. A acuidade visual final foi 20/20 em ambos os olhos.

RESUMO
PURPOSE: We report a case of paracentral acute middle maculopathy secondary to cholesterol embolization syndrome after an endovascular aortic aneurism repair (EVAR). METHODS: Functional and anatomical damage was assessed by Snellen visual acuity, fundoscopy, and optical coherence tomography. RESULTS: A 67-year-old man presented with sudden vision loss in the right eye for one day with concomitant livedo reticularis in both feet. His medical history included an abdominal EVAR repair three days before the symptoms. The best-corrected visual acuity was 20/40 in the right eye and 20/20 in the left eye. Fundoscopy showed intraarteriolar cholesterol plaques (Hollenhorst) bilaterally, and a localized retinal whitening in the right eye. Optical coherence tomography at the lesion site revealed a hyperreflective band on the level of inner nuclear layer. The patient was referred for imaging and complete systemic evaluation. He was then closely followed up by a vascular team, without additional intervention. Retinal stigma partially regressed at six months with visual improvement. CONCLUSION: This case describes paracentral acute middle maculopathy as a rare ocular sign of cholesterol embolization in postoperative intraaortic operations. The diagnosis of this complication led to prompt clinical care with a multidisciplinary approach.

ABSTRACT Central giant cell granuloma is a rare osseous tumor affecting young patients with anatomical and functional compromise of the maxilla and mandible. Steroid injection therapy constitutes a less invasive treatment modality for disease control in selected cases. Retinal ischemia is a reported complication of multiple medical procedures, including dental interventions, and may lead to loss of vision with poor prognosis. We report a case of retinal arteriolar ischemic disease following central giant cell granuloma management with local injected corticosteroids.
RESUMO O granuloma central de células gigantes é um tumor ósseo raro que afeta pacientes jovens com comprometimento anatômico e funcional da maxila e mandíbula. A terapia com injeção de esteroides constitui uma modalidade de tratamento menos invasiva para o controle da doença em casos selecionados. A isquemia retiniana é uma complicação relatada em vários procedimentos médicos, incluindo intervenções odontológicas, e pode levar à perda da visão com mau prognóstico. Relatamos um caso de doença isquêmica arteriolar da retina após o tratamento com granuloma central de células gigantes com corticosteroides injetados locais.

ABSTRACT A 48-year-old patient with blunt periorbital trauma presented with vertical strabismus and diplopia secondary to inferior rectus muscle avulsion. After ophthalmologic and CT scan evaluation, early surgical treatment with anatomical restoration led to improvement in motility deficits with resolution of diplopia.
RESUMO Paciente de 48 anos com história de trauma periorbitário contuso apresentou estrabismo vertical e diplopia secundários à avulsão de músculo reto inferior. Após avaliação oftalmológica e tomográfica, o tratamento precoce cirúrgico das lesões com reparo anatômico permitiu melhora nos deficits de motilidade com resolução da diplopia.
