Purpose: To describe a case of bilateral and simultaneous central retinal vein occlusion (RVO) in a young patient diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Case Report: A 38-year-old man with morbid obesity and daytime sleepiness presented with a history of bilateral vision loss. His visual acuity (VA) was hand movements, and fundus examination (FE) revealed bilateral central RVO. General medical examination revealed untreated hypertension and type II respiratory failure. Laboratory tests for thrombophilia showed increased hematocrit (59%) and high levels of fibrinogen and C-reactive protein. Other causes of congenital and acquired hypercoagulability were ruled out. Pathologic polysomnography led to the diagnosis of OSAS. The patient was treated with antihypertensive drugs and continuous positive air pressure. In addition, he received intravitreal ranibizumab. At 10 months after presentation, his VA was no light perception in the right eye and hand movements in the left eye. FE revealed bilateral retinal and optic nerve atrophy, and the occurrence of a nonarteritic anterior ischemic neuropathy in the right eye was considered.
Las úlceras abomasales son raras y poco conocidas en los pequeños rumiantes y en los rumiantes, en general. Estas llegan a presentarse por diferentes causas como lo son: la dieta, el estrés, la alteración de los mecanismos protectores de la mucosa gástrica, entre otros. En este artículo, se presenta el caso de un caprino hembra raza criolla de aproximadamente diecisiete años, que presentaba una lesión en la región ventral del abdomen, entre la cicatriz del ombligo y el cartílago xifoides, y, adicionalmente, tenía una enfermedad articular. Como método de diagnóstico se realizaron exámenes paraclínicos como: cuadro hemático, coprológico y toma de rayos x, en donde se determinó el diagnóstico final que fue una úlcera abomasal grado 3 y una enfermedad articular degenerativa. El tratamiento se realizó con penicilina sódica (22 000 UI/kg durante cinco días cada doce horas), gentamicina (6 mg/kg durante tres días cada 24 horas), cuatro aplicaciones de complejo B (2 ml cada 48 horas), omeprazol (10 mg/kg cada doce horas por quince días) y lavados diarios de la herida con solución salina durante quince días. El animal fue dado de alta a los veinte días con cierre total de la herida
