Presentaci贸n de dos casos de coroiditis serpiginosa Presentation of two serpiginous choroiditis cases
La coroiditis serpiginosa es una patolog铆a poco frecuente, bilateral, cr贸nica y recurrente. Los pacientes en edad media de la vida se ven m谩s afectados y con un ligero predominio en varones. Sobre esta enfermedad se presentan dos casos y se hace una breve rese帽a de sus caracter铆sticas cl铆nicas, diagn贸sticas y de tratamiento. El tiempo de observaci贸n cl铆nica fue de tres a帽os, con una edad promedio de 36 a帽os. Predomin贸 el sexo femenino y la forma de presentaci贸n bilateral asim茅trica. Una paciente refiri贸 como antecedente personal la hipertensi贸n arterial. El diagn贸stico se realiz贸 mediante examen cl铆nico oftalmol贸gico y estudio angiogr谩fico. El tratamiento consisti贸 en terapia combinada inmunosupresora (prednisona, ciclosporina). El pron贸stico visual en la coroiditis serpiginosa est谩 determinado por la afectaci贸n macular. La terapia combinada con inmunosupresores no evit贸 las recurrencias en estos pacientes.<br>The serpiginous choroiditis is a non frequent, bilateral chronic and recurrent pathology. The middle-aged patients are mostly affected, with slight predominance of males. Two cases of this disease were presented, and brief review of the clinical characteristics, the diagnosis and the treatment of this pathology was made. The time of clinical observation was 3 years; the average age was 36 years. Females prevailed as well as the bilateral form of presentation. One patient had a history of blood hypertension. The diagnosis was based on clinical ophthalmological exam and angiographic study. The treatment consisted of combined immunosuppressive therapy (prednisone and cyclosporine). The visual prognosis is determined by the macular effect. The combined therapy with inmunosuppresors did not prevent relapses in these patients
