Abstract

A 24-year-old female patient presented with visual loss in her left eye was evaluated. Visual acuity of her left eye was count fingers at 10 cm. Fundus examination revealed that small physiologic cup in the right eye and disk edema in the left eye. Further laboratory evaluation yielded C677T methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase mutation. Thrombophilic risk factors should be assessed in the young nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy patients.

Özet

Sol gözde görme azlığı şikayeti ile kliniğimize başvuran yirmi dört yaşında kadın hastada, görme keskinliği sol gözde 10 cm’ den parmak sayma olup, fundus muayenesinde sağ gözde normalden küçük bir fizyolojik cup, solda optik disk ödemi mevcuttu. Yapılan tetkikler sonucunda hastada metilentetrahidrofolat redüktaz C677T gen mutasyonu bulundu. Bu nedenle nonarteritik anterior iskemik optik nöropatili genç hastalarda trombofilik risk faktörlerinin varlığı da dikkate alınmalıdır.
