Abstract

A 39-year-old male presented with decreased vision for one week in his right eye just after sildenafil ingestion. He had an oedematous optic disc in the right eye, a concentric defect in the right visual field and leakage in the right optic disc in fluorescein angiography. Systemic evaluation was normal. Although the relationship between them is not proven, the cases of non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy after sildenafil use is increasing in the literature. Profound systemic diseases seem to contribute the situation in older patients where as crowded disc is thought to be a predisposing factor in young patients.

Özet

Otuzdokuz yaşında erkek hasta, sildenafil kullanımından sonra başlayan ve bir haftadır devam eden sağ gözde az görme şikayetiyle başvurdu. Hastanın sağ optik diskinde ödem, görme alanında konsantrik daralma, floresein anjiografide diskte hiperfloresans izlendi. Sistemik taramada patoloji saptanmadı. Aralarındaki ilişki tam olarak kanıtlanmamış olmakla birlikte, sildenafil kullanımı sonrasında bildirilen non arteritik iskemik optik nöropati olguları artmaktadır. Yaşlı hastalarda eşlik eden sistemik hastalıklar bu tablonun ortaya çıkışını kolaylaştırıyor gibi görünmekte, gençlerde ise sıkışık optik disk varlığının bir predispozan faktör olabileceği düşünülmektedir.
