Abstract

A twenty one years old woman presented with sudden, painless visual loss in her left eye. In our ophthalmological examina- tion, the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of right eye was 20/20 and counting fingers at 20 cm in the left eye. Anterior segment examination and intraocular pressure was normal in both eyes. Aferan pupillary defect was detected in the left eye. Right fundus was normal, but left fundus revealed retinal edema and attenuation of the retinal arterioles, the peripapillary retina was appeared swollen and opaque. Fundus fluorescein angiography showed a reduced arterial caliber and delayed arteriovenous transit time. Cilioretinal artery was normal. The central retinal arterial occlusion was diagnosed by these examinations and therapy was initiated. Systemic investigations showed that the patient had factor V Leiden Mutation. In our ophthalmological examination, the BCVA of left eye was 4/10 and retinal edema was regressed after two months. It should be remembered and investigated in young patients with arterial occlusion without any other predisposing factors.

Özet

Yirmi bir yaşında bayan hasta sol gözünde görme kaybı şikayeti ile kliniğimize başvurdu. Alınan öyküsünde başvurudan 1 hafta önce küretaj ile gebelik sonlandırılması yapıldığı öğrenildi. Yapılan oftalmolojik muayenede sağ gözde en iyi düzeltil- miş görme keskinliği 10/10 iken sol gözde 20 santimden parmak sayma düzeyindeydi. Göz içi basınç ölçümleri her iki gözde normal sınırlar içerisindeydi. Sol gözde aferan pupil defekti mevcuttu. Sağ göz ön segment ve fundus muayenesi doğaldı. Sol göz ön segment muayenesinde her hangi bir patoloji izlenmezken, fundus muayenesinde optik disk ve foveayı çevrele- yen yoğun retinal ödem, solukluk ve retinal arteriollerde incelme mevcuttu. Çekilen fundus floresein anjiografide sol gözde arterlerde dolma defekti ve venlerde geç dolma tespit edildi. Ancak silioretinal arter korunmuştu. Tüm bu bulgular ışığında hastada santral retinal arter tıkanıklığı düşünüldü ve tedaviye başlandı. Yapılan sistemik inceleme sonucunda diğer tüm tetkikleri normal olan hastada faktör V Leiden mutasyonu tespit edildi. 2 ay sonra yapılan oftalmolojik muayenede sol gözdeki en iyi düzeltilmiş görme keskinliği 4/10 olan hastanın retinal ödemi gerilemişti. Genç yaşta arter tıkanıklığı ile başvuran hastalarda altta yatan başka bir neden bulunmadığında, faktör V Leiden mutasyonu akla gelmeli ve araştırılmalıdır
