Rev. Soc. Colomb. Oftalmol; 53 (2), 2020
Publication year: 2020
Método:
la población objetivo fueron los pacientes que asistieron por
urgencias al hospital entre enero/2014 y diciembre/2018 y recibieron diagnóstico
de oclusión venosa de la retina. Se realizó un registro y tabulación de los aspectos
más relevantes
Resultados:
Se incluyeron 63 pacientes, con edad media de 57 años. Los
antecedentes más frecuentemente referidos fueron hipertensión arterial (51%),
dislipidemia y diabetes mellitus. 4.8% reportaron antecedente de glaucoma. 60.3%
ocurrieron en el ojo derecho y el tipo más frecuente fué oclusión de vena central
de la retina (65,1%). Los hallazgos encontrados al examen oft almológico fueron
dilatación y tortuosidad venosa (100%), hemorragias retinianas (98.4%) y edema
macular (61,9%). El 39.7% presentó agudeza visual cuenta dedos
Conclusión: La población estudiada se comportó análogamente a lo descrito
en la literatura, con distribución similar por género, aumento de la incidencia
con la edad e hipertensión arterial como factor de riesgo más relevante. El edema
macular se asocia con pérdida más signifi cativa de la agudeza visual. Es importante
realizar un estudio más amplio para caracterizar la patología a nivel nacional
Background:
Venous occlusive disease of the retina is the second most
frequently associated retinal vascular disease with visual loss. Th e increase in the
prevalence of chronic non-communicable diseases is associated with an increase
in the presentation of complications derived from these
Objective: Characterize the population of patients with retinal occlusive
venous disease of the San Ignacio University Hospital
Study design: A retrospective cross-sectional observational study
Method: the target population were patients who attended the hospital for
emergencies between January/2014 and December/2018, and received a diagnosis
of retinal vein occlusion. A registry and tabulation of the most relevant aspects
were carried out
Results:
63 patients were included, with a mean age of 57 years. Th e most
frequently reported antecedents were hypertension (51%), dyslipidemia, and
diabetes mellitus. 4.8% reported a history of glaucoma. 60.3% occurred in the
right eye and the most frequent type was central retinal vein occlusion (65.1%).
Th e fi ndings found on ophthalmological examination were venous dilation and
tortuosity (100%), retinal hemorrhages (98.4%), and macular edema (61.9%).
39.7% presented visual acuity with fi nger counts
Conclusion: Th e study population behaved similarly to that described in the
literature, with a similar distribution by sex, increased incidence with age, and
hypertension as the most relevant risk factor. Macular edema is associated with a
more signifi cant loss of visual acuity. It is important to carry out a larger study to
characterize the pathology at a national level
