Abstract

Purpose: In this study, we aimed to determine the anterior/ and/or posterior chamber findings and the incidence of diagnostic systemic involvements in Behçet's disease patient's with ocular involvement. Materials and Methods: Between 1994 and 2002, 133 eyes of 69 patients with Behçet's disease fulfilling the criteria of International Study Group for Behçet's disease were involved in the study retrospectively. Age and sex of the patients, age of onset, disease activity and frequency of attacks, treatments and complications were evaluated. Presence of oral aphthosis, genital ulceration, erythema nodosum, papulopustular lesions, arthralgia-arthritis, thrombophlebitis, neurologic, vascular and gastrointestinal system involvements, pathergy test and familial predisposition were recorded. Results: Fifty five of the cases were male (73.91%), 18 were female (26.09%). The mean age was 34.19±9.96 (15-51) years, the mean disease period was 5.46+5.25 (1-24) years. The systemic findings of Behçet's patients with ocular involvement were: oral aphthosis in 100%, genital ulceration in 66.66%, skin lesions in 65.21%, (+) pathergy test in 42.02%, arthralgia, arthritis in 30.43%, thrombophlebitis in 15.94%, central nervous system involvement in 7.24, gastrointestinal system involvement in 5.79% and epididymitis in 4.34%. In one case, maternal family history was present. At the onset of the follow-up, panuveitis, anterior and posterior uveitis were determined in 82 (61.65%), 26 (29.56%) and 25 (18.76%) out of 133 eyes, respectively. Cataract, the most common anterior chamber complication, was found in 45.86% of the cases. Rubeosis iridis was determined in 2 (1.50%) eyes. By time, rubeosis lentis developed in one of them. Phythisis bulbi due to hypotonisity was observed in 2 (1.50%) eyes, antiglaucomatous therapy was applied to 17 eyes of 12 (12.78%) patients. Optic atrophy was found in 43 (32.33%) cases. Maculopathy, vitreus hemorrhage and vitreus condensation was 30.82%, 6.01% and 16.45%, respectively. Conclusion: Behçet's disease may occur as a mixture of various systemic involvements. As a result, we think that all systemic findings should be evaluated together for exact diagnosis.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada oküler tutulumla Behçet hastalarımızdaki ön ve/veya arka segment bulgularının ve bu olgulardaki tanısal sistemik bulguların sıklığının belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntem: 1994-2002 yılları arasında kliniğimize başvuran ve Uluslararası Behçet Hastalığı Çalışma Grubu (UBHÇG) tanı kriterlerine uyan oküler tutulumla 69 Behçet hastasının 133 gözü retrospektif olarak çalışma kapsamına alındı. Olguların yaş ve cinsiyeti, başlangıç yaşı, atak varlığı, atak sıklığı, uygulanan tedaviler ve komplikasyonlar gözden geçirildi. Olguların sistemik muayenelerinde saptanan oral aft, genital ülser, eritema nodosum, papülopüstül, artralji, artrit, tromboflebit, nörolojik, vasküler, gastrointestinal sistem tutulumu, paterji testi ve ailede Behçet hastalığı varlığı kaydedildi. Bulgular: Olguların 51'i erkek (%73.91), 18'i kadındı (%26.09). Yaş ortalamaları 34.19±9.96 yıl (15-51 yaş) olup, ortalama Behçet hastalığı süreleri 5.46+5.25 (1-24 ) yıl olarak saptandı. Oküler tutulumu olan Behçet hastalarının %100'ünde oral aft, %66.66'sında genital ülser, %65.21'inde cilt bulguları %42.02'inde paterji(+)'liği, %30.43'ünde artrit-artalji, %15.94'ünde tromboflebit, %7.24'ünde nöropsikiyatrik bulgular, %5.79'unda gastrointestinal sistem tutulumu ve %4.34'ünde epididimit tespit edildi. Bir (%1.44) hastada annesinde olmak üzere aile öyküsü vardı. Toplam 133 gözün 82'sinde (%61.65) takip başlangıcında panüveit, 26'ında (%19.56) ön üveit ve 25'inde (%18.79) arka üveit mevcuttu. Behçet hastalığının en sık ön segment komplikasyonu olan katarakt %45.86 oranında tespit edildi. İki gözde (%1.50) rubeozis iridis saptanırken, bu gözlerden bir tanesinde zamanla rubeozis lentis geliştiği izlendi. İki göz (%1.50) hipotonisite nedeniyle fitizise giderken, 12 hastanın 17 gözü(%12.78) antiglokomatöz tedavi almaktaydı. Kırk üç olguda (% 32.33 oranında) optik atrofi saptandı. Behçet hastalığına bağlı makülopati %30.82 oranında tespit edildi. Vitreus hemorajisi %6.01 oranında, vitreus kondansasyonu ise %16.45 oranında saptandı. Sonuç: Behçet hastalığı bir çok sistemin tutulumunun bir harmanlanması olarak ortaya çıkabilir. Sonuç olarak tanı koymak için bütün sistem bulgularının birlikte değerlendirilmesi gerektiği düşüncesindeyiz.
