Resumo: PURPOSE: To report the findings of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in three cases of diffuse unilateral subacute neuroretinitis (DUSN). METHODS: Three young patients with confirmed diagnosis of diffuse unilateral subacute neuroretinitis were followed-up using Stratus® OCT. RESULTS: Optical coherence tomography findings included retinal nerve fiber layer atrophy and focal edema where the worm was initially lodged. In two patients we could identify the worm by optical coherence tomography as an area of hiper-reflectivity. The worms were laser photocoagulated and post-treatment optical coherence tomography scanning revealed improvement of edema, nerve fiber layer thinning and a retinal hyper-reflectivity where laser had been applied. CONCLUSION: The main finding reported here is the potential of optical coherence tomography in detecting the presence of retinal nerve fiber layer atrophy and focal retinal edema in areas affected by the worm. Optical coherence tomography can be used to distinguish diffuse unilateral subacute neuroretinitis from other mimicking diseases like punctate outer retinitis, when there are no retinal fiber layer atrophy.

MÉTODOS: Os pacientes com diagnóstico confirmado de neurorretinite subaguda difusa unilateral realizaram seguimento pré e pós-tratamento por meio da tomografia de coerência óptica, Stratus® OCT. RESULTADOS: Os achados marcantes da tomografia de coerência óptica foram a atrofia das camadas de fibras nervosas da retina e edema da retina localizado em áreas nas quais a larva esteve. Em dois pacientes pôde-se localizar a larva no espaço sub-retiniano por meio da tomografia de coerência óptica, que se traduziu por pequena área densa (hiperrefletividade). As larvas foram fotocoaguladas a laser e os achados da tomografia de coerência óptica após o tratamento demonstrou melhora do edema, afinamento das camadas de fibras nervosas e hiperrefletividade no local da aplicação do laser. CONCLUSÃO: Os principais achados na tomografia de coerência óptica foram a atrofia difusa das camadas de fibras nervosas e o edema localizado nas áreas afetadas pela larva. A tomografia de coerência óptica pode ser usado para diferenciar neurorretinite subaguda difusa unilateral de doenças que a simulam, como retinite punteada externa, que não manifesta alterações das camadas de fibras nervosas.State University of LondrinaFederal University of São PauloUNIFESPUELUNIFESPSciELOConselho Brasileiro de OftalmologiaState University of LondrinaUniversidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)UELCasella, Antonio Marcelo BarbanteFarah, Michel Eid [UNIFESP]Souza, Eduardo Cunha de [UNIFESP]Belfort, Rubens Junior [UNIFESP]Oguido, Ana Paula Miyagusko Taba2015-06-14T13:41:36Z2015-06-14T13:41:36Z2010-04-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion182-185application/pdfhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0004-27492010000200017Arquivos Brasileiros de Oftalmologia.
