Severe fat embolism in perioperative abdominal liposuction and fat grafting.

Background And Objectives: Fat embolism syndrome may occur in patients suffering from multiple trauma (long bone fractures) or plastic surgery (liposuction), compromising the circulatory, respiratory and/or central nervous systems. This report shows the evolution of severe fat embolism syndrome after liposuction and fat grafting.

Case Report: SSS, 42 years old, ASA 1, no risk factors for thrombosis, candidate for abdominal liposuction and breast implant prosthesis.

Correlations between different tonometries and ocular biometric parameters in patients with primary congenital glaucoma.

Purpose: To identify the correlation between the difference of intraocular pressure measurements (IOP) obtained using the Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) and three others tonometers (Handheld applanation tonometer - HAT, Dynamic contour tonometer - DCT and Tono-Pen®) with biometric characteristics (corneal diameter, pachymetry, keratometry and axial length) in patients with congenital glaucoma.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on 46 eyes from 46 patients with congenital glaucoma. IOP measurements were obtained in all patients using GAT, HAT, DCT and Tono-Pen®.

[Central corneal thickness and its correlations with other ocular biometric data in patients with congenital glaucoma].

Purpose: To study the distribution of the central corneal thickness and its correlations with other biometric data in patients with congenital glaucoma.

Methods: Patients had been divided into two groups: group "A", composed of patients with congenital glaucoma, being subdivided in two sub-groups: with Haab striae (A1) and without Haab striae (A2), and group"B" that represented the controls.

Results: The group A presented corneal diameter between 11 and 15.

[Recurrent pilomatricoma on the left eyebrow: case report].

Pilomatricoma is a benign neoplasm originated in the pilosebaceous follicle which appears as an intradermal nodule during childhood, in most cases. It is generally covered with normal skin, reaching a diameter of 1.5 cm on average, and it often shows no recurrence after surgical excision.

Ultrasonographic findings in patients examined in cataract detection-and-treatment campaigns: a retrospective study.

Introduction: A cataract is defined as an opacity of any portion of the lens, regardless of visual acuity. In some advanced cases of cataracts, in which good fundus visualization is not possible, an ultrasound examination provides better assessment of the posterior segment of the globe.

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the ultrasonographic records of patients with advanced cataracts who were examined during cataract campaigns.
