introduction: The wet form of age-related macular degeneration (WAMD) is related to the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the VEGF gene are associated with different expression patterns of this cytokine (functional polymorphisms). In this study, we considered 4 SNPs that are located in the promoter region (rs699947 A/C, rs833061 C/T, rs1005230 C/T and rs1570360 A/G) and two in the 5’ untranslated region (rs2010963 C/G and rs25648 C/T) that have an effect on transcriptional regulation. Objective : To associate functional SNPs with WAMD in a Mexican population. Methods : Through allelic discrimination assays, consisting in polymerase chain reactions (PCR) with Taqman® probes, the polymorphisms were genotyped. Genotype frequencies were compared using all inheritance models. results : SNPs were genotyped in 105 patients diagnosed with WAMD (61 women and 44 men, mean age 74.28 ± 8.32 years), and in 102 healthy control subjects (61 women and 41 men, mean age 67.41 ± 5.78 years). Genotypes in both groups were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. In all SNPs analyzed, the minor allele frequency was statistically significant different between the groups. Genotypes were not statistically significant different between the WAMD and the control groups (p > 0.05). conclusion : No association was observed between the studied SNPs and the presence of WAMD in the analyzed Mexican population. We consider that further analysis in larger samples is necessary to confirm these findings.

Introduction: Strabismus is one of the main causes of visual disability. Most cases are reversible with appropriate treatment; however, several factors can influence its diagnosis. Objective: To describe the demographic and clinical characteristics of strabismus in children from northern Mexico. Material and methods: We carried out a study to analyze the characteristics associated with strabismus in pediatric patients of a private hospital (Centro Médico Zambrano Hellion [CMZH]) and a primary care center (CeSI). Results: One-hundred and eighty nine patients were included. Median age at strabismus onset was 11 months, with a median age of 3.3 years when attending the clinic for the 1 st time, and the average time to seek medical care was of 13 months. Age of onset was higher in CMZH. However, the time it took patients to seek medical care was higher in CeSI (p < 0.001). The prevalence of amblyopia was significantly higher in CeSI (p = 0.007). Conclusions: This is the first study that describes the clinical and demographic characteristics associated with a diagnosis of strabismus in northern Mexico. Our results agree with other studies in Mexican and American populations. By analyzing the socioeconomic characteristics of the population, we conclude that it is of utmost importance to ensure that low-income population has access to specialized health services in order to receive an appropriate treatment.
斜视是视觉障碍的主要原因之一。大多数病例经适当治疗是可逆的;然而，有几个因素会影响其诊断。目的:描述墨西哥北部儿童斜视的人口学和临床特征。材料和方法:我们进行了一项研究，分析私立医院(Centro m dico Zambrano Hellion [CMZH])和初级保健中心(CeSI)儿科患者斜视的相关特征。结果:纳入189例患者。斜视发病时的中位年龄为11个月，首次就诊时的中位年龄为3.3岁，平均就医时间为13个月。CMZH的发病年龄较高。然而，CeSI患者寻求医疗护理所需的时间更长(p < 0.001)。弱视发生率在CeSI组明显高于CeSI组(p = 0.007)。结论:这是第一个描述与墨西哥北部斜视诊断相关的临床和人口统计学特征的研究。我们的结果与墨西哥和美国人群的其他研究结果一致。通过分析人口的社会经济特征，我们得出的结论是，确保低收入人口能够获得专门的保健服务，以便得到适当的治疗，这是至关重要的。

Optic nerve melanocytoma is a rare, benign, pigmented tumor of the optic disc that may cause visual complications in few cases and can be easily confused with a malignant melanoma. This review aims to highlight its clinical characteristics and pathophysiology, as well as to update the diagnostic methods available, like optical coherence tomography angiography.

Objective: To study the neuroprotective and neuroregenerative response of adult mesenchymal cells (aMSCs) on retinal ganglion cells (RGC) and optic nerve (ON) in an animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS) like experimental autoimmune encephalitis (EAE). Methods: We studied the changes that occurred in the retina and ON, analyzing the effect of an intravenous injection of aMSCs. Three groups were studied: healthy (control), sick (EAE) and sick treated with aMSCs (EAE-MSC). The animals were monitored using motor disability scales. The retinas and ONs were studied with optical microscopy, immunofluorescence and electron microscopy. Results: The results showed that after administration of intravenous aMSCs there was a lower loss of RGC, the average of RGC in the EAE group was of 0.0891 μm compared to 0.166 μm in the EAE-MSC group, with a statistically significant p value (p = 0.01). There was a reduction in the inflammatory cell response of the ON (7.99 cells/μm2 vs. 3.69 cells/μm2, p < 0.0001), a decrease of myelin loss (overall axonal damage was of 54% compared to 88%) and less axonal destruction (0.16745 axons/μm2 vs. 0.3598 axons/μm2 (p = 0.0251). Conclusions: In this study, we found that after the administration of aMSCs there was a lower loss of RGC, a decrease of myelin loss and a lower degree of inflammation in the ON. However, it would be advisable to expand the methodology to ensure an immunosuppressive and neuroprotective effect in this model.

19-year-old male under treatment for bulimia came for sudden decrease of the visual acuity (VA) of the left eye (LE) after an episode of severe vomit. The LE vision was of hand motion and the fundus showed a sub internal limiting membrane (subILM) hemorrhage of 14 disc diameters. We decided to use Nd-YAG laser on the membrane, obtaining the complete drainage of the hemorrhage and immediate recovery of the LE VA (20/20). Conclusion: Nd-YAG laser treatment is recommended for young and active patients in cases of sub-ILM hemorrhage in the context of Valsalva’s retinopathy, due to its effective results

Background: To describe the ultrasound features and disease history of patients with a diagnosis of choroidal detachment evaluated in the Ultrasound Department of the Instituto de Oftalmología “Fundación Conde de Valenciana IAP” of Mexico City from January 2015 to December 2017. Design: Observational, descriptive and retrospective. Methods: All the medical records with a diagnosis of choroidal detachment by ultrasound were analyzed. Exclusion criteria were missing and/or incomplete records. The information obtained was classified by causal disease, type, shape and extension of the choroidal detachment. Results: One hundred and forty-one patients were studied (89 [63.1%] men and 52 [36.9%] women). The average age was 52.92 years in men and 60.98 years in women. Cases related to inflammatory diseases were the most common (76 cases [53.9%]). A total of 102 cases (72.3%) showed a serous choroidal detachment. From all the serous choroidal detachments, 74 cases (52.5%) were observed as flat elevations and 87 cases (61.7%) affected more than six meridians. The average intraocular pressure was 7.63 mmHg. Conclusions: Ultrasound characteristics (shape, type and extension) of choroidal detachments depend on the cause. Flat detachments (mostly inflammatory) show a serous content and extend less than 6 dia-meters, while hemorrhagic detachments (mainly traumatic) tend to be dome-shaped and have a greater extension.
背景:描述2015年1月至2017年12月在墨西哥城Oftalmología“Fundación Conde de Valenciana IAP”超声科评估的诊断为脉络膜脱离的患者的超声特征和病史。设计:观察性、描述性和回顾性。方法:对所有超声诊断为脉络膜脱离的病历进行分析。排除标准缺失和/或记录不完整。所得信息按病因、脉络膜脱离的类型、形状和延伸程度进行分类。结果:共纳入141例患者，其中男性89例(63.1%)，女性52例(36.9%)。男性平均年龄52.92岁，女性平均年龄60.98岁。炎症相关疾病最常见(76例[53.9%])。102例(72.3%)表现为严重的脉络膜脱离。浆液性脉络膜脱离中，74例(52.5%)表现为平抬高，87例(61.7%)表现为6条以上经络。平均眼压为7.63 mmHg。结论:脉络膜脱离的超声特征(形态、类型和延伸)与病因有关。扁平型脱离(多为炎症性)表现为浆液性内容物，延伸小于6米，而出血性脱离(多为创伤性)往往呈圆顶状，延伸更广。

Clinical case: The case concerns a 57-year-old woman who came to the Ophthalmology Emergency Service referred by her dentist after presenting a left periorbital swelling during a root canal treatment. A complete examination only revealed a soft, smooth periorbital tumefaction, crackling on palpation, with no associated inflammation. No radiological examinations were performed. Discussion: Subcutaneous emphysema has been described as a rare complication in the usual dental practice. Periorbital involvement is exceptional and usually has a good prognosis. In this paper, we describe a new case, reviewing the literature on the subject, analyzing the pathophysiology of the process and the changes in its epidemiology. Furthermore, recommendations for their management are established.
