Abstract
A 34-year-old white man presented with a sudden unilateral recurrent visual loss. Fundus examination and fluorescein angiography revealed severe retinal vein occlusion. An antiphospholipid syndrome was discovered during etiological check up. A mutation of Leiden V factor was discovered and the patient started long term anticoagulation after the second occlusive event. However, secondary neovascular glaucoma has developed and despite treatment the affected eye had an important reduction of visual acuity. The purpose of this case report is to demonstrate that retinal vascular occlusion can be the initial manifestation of the antiphospholipid syndrome and that its diagnosis is important because this disease generally affects young people and may endanger ocular and vital prognosis. This diagnosis may imply a long lasting anticoagulative or antiaggregative treatment to reduce the risk of recurrent thrombotic events.
Paciente do sexo masculino, 34 anos de idade, com baixa da acuidade visual recorrente. Fundoscopia e angiofluoresceinografia demonstraram oclusão venosa retiniana grave. Durante pesquisa etiológica diagnosticou-se a síndrome do anticorpo antifosfolípide com mutação do fator V Leiden. O paciente iniciou anticoagulação após o segundo evento oclusivo. Entretanto, evoluiu com quadro de glaucoma neovascular e, apesar do tratamento, o olho afetado teve importante redução da acuidade visual. O objetivo deste relato de caso é demonstrar que uma oclusão vascular retiniana pode ser a manifestação inicial da síndrome do anticorpo antifosfolípide, e a importância de seu diagnóstico, pelo fato de afetar pacientes jovens e por em risco o prognóstico vital e ocular. Esse diagnóstico pode acarretar em anticoagulação contínua ou uso de antiagregantes plaquetários para minimizar os riscos de eventos trombóticos recorrentes.
