Sarcoidoisis ocular: presentación de un caso / Ocular Sarcoidosis: a case reportSarcoidoisis ocular: presentación de un caso / Ocular Sarcoidosis: a case reportLa sarcoidosis es una enfermedad granulomatosa multifactorial que afecta principalmente ganglios linfaticos, pulmones, piel, ojos, hígado, bazo y parótidas. Con menor frecuencia también puede afectar el sistema nervioso central, corazón, tracto respiratorio alto y hueso. No es frecuente en Pinar del Río observar  complicaciones oftalmológicas en la sarcoidosis.  Objetivo: Reportar el primer caso de sarcoidosis con complicaciones oculares y tratamiento de las mismas.   Presentación de caso: Paciente masculino de 55 años que fue ingresado por un síndrome general y que se diagnosticó como portador de sarcoidosis en la UCI del  Hospital General Docente Abel Santamaría Cuadrado que además presentaba complicaciones  oftalmológicas graves tales como: atalamia bilateral, hipotonía ocular, ausencia de lágrimas, queratitis, desdoblamiento corneal con degeneración del tercio inferior de la misma, cataratas, sinequias posteriores y disminución de la agudeza visual bilateral.   Ante la gravedad del estado ocular se recurrió a medidas quirúrgicas como la aplicación intra cameral de sustancia visco elástica para reponer el tono ocular; se usaron además lágrimas artificiales, esteroides  sistémicos y tópicos, midriáticos.   Se  logró preservar la morfología ocular y poder posteriormente, tratar las cataratas,  preservándole una visión útil, con alta calidad de vida.Palabras Clave: Sarcoidosis, granuloma, oftalmopatías/complicaciones.ABSTRACTSarcoidosis is a multifactorial granulomatose disease that affects lymphatic ganglia, lungs, skin, eyes, liver, spleen and parotids.  It rarely affects central nervous system, heart, upper respiratory tract and bones.
