Abstract
Case report

A 20-year-old male, HIV positive, with myodesopsias (floaters) in both eyes for two weeks. Fundus examination revealed bilateral papillary oedema with peripapilar flame-shaped haemorrhages. The neuroimaging tests showed a cerebral mass in the left parietal lobe. The biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of lymphoid neoplasm.

Discussion

Primary lymphoma is the most common malignancy of the central nervous system (CNS) in AIDS patients, although highly active antiretroviral therapy has reduced its incidence. The ophthalmologist plays an essential role in the diagnosis of CNS neoplasm.

Keywords:
Primary central nervous system lymphoma
Acute bilateral papillary edema
De Angelis Protocol
Resumen
Caso clínico

Paciente varón de 20 años, VIH positivo, con miodesopsias en ambos ojos de 2 semanas de evolución. El examen fundoscópico reveló edema de papila bilateral con hemorragias peripapilares en llama. El estudio de neuroimagen mostró la presencia de una masa cerebral en el lóbulo parietal izquierdo. La biopsia confirmó el diagnóstico de neoplasia de estirpe linfoide.

Discusión

El linfoma primario es la neoplasia más frecuente del sistema nervioso central (SNC) en pacientes con sida (síndrome de inmunodeficiencia adquirida) aunque la terapia antirretroviral de gran actividad ha disminuido su incidencia. Destacamos el papel del oftalmólogo en el diagnóstico de neoplasias del SNC.
