White Dot Syndromes: Report of Three Cases.

Introduction: The term white dot syndromes has been used to refer conditions that differ in their morphology and prognosis. We report three cases of different pathologies encompassed within the white dot syndromes.

Case Presentations: Case 1: A 26-year-old female presented with scotoma in her right eye.

[Cornea transplant].

The keratoplasty, or cornea transplant, is one of the oldest surgical techniques in opthalmology, whose indication are: 1) tectonic, in order to preserve corneal anatomy and integrity; 2) clinical, in order to eliminate the inflamed corneal tissue in cases refractory to medical treatment; 3) optical, in order to improve visual acuity; and 4) cosmetic, in order to improve the appearance of the eye. Improvements in technique and instruments, as well as in post-operative treatment and the means of preserving donated tissue, have improved survival of the grafts. The Pamplona Model of transplant coordination of the Virgen del Camino Hospital is considered to be original and unique in Spain.

Introduction: Tissue and organ donations are the only option for many patients. Cerebral death (CD) facilitates this approach. However, hospitals that do not provide CD donors have to adapt in order to obtain donors, referred to as tissue donors (TD), who have died from cardiac arrest.
