Abstract
Clinical case

We report two patients of 29 and 50 years old presenting with unilateral choroidal folds in posterior segment in which, after a complete ophthalmic examination, we suspected an acquired hyperopic shift syndrome. Fluorescein angiography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a flattening of posterior globes and distended perineural subarachnoid spaces.

Discussion

Acquired hyperopia with choroidal folds is a benign condition characterised by the acute development of a unilateral or bilateral hyperopic shift in refractive error. We emphasise the importance of a differential diagnosis from a wide variety of disorders that can mimic this syndrome.

Keywords:

Resumen
Caso clínico

Presentamos dos pacientes de 29 y 50 años con pliegues coroideos en el polo posterior en los cuales, tras un examen oftalmológico completo, sospechamos un síndrome de hipermetropía adquirida. Tras realizar la angiofluoresceingrafía y la resonancia magnética diagnosticamos un aplanamiento del polo posterior de ambos ojos y un ensanchamiento del espacio subaracnoideo del nervio óptico.

Discusión

La hipermetropía adquirida con pliegues coroideos es una entidad benigna caracterizada por un cambio refractivo agudo hacia la hipermetropía unilateral o bilateral. Enfatizamos la importancia del diagnóstico diferencial con otras enfermedades que pueden mimetizar este cuadro clínico.
