Abstract

Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) Type II is associated with the presence of electron-dense deposits within the glomerular basement membrane, choroid and Bruch membrane. Drusen-like deposits are specific for this disease and fluorescein angiography is useful in the early detection of these lesions. We present the fundus findings of a 42-year-old patient with MPGN Type II who had visual loss in one eye. Fluorescein angiography was not allowed because of the renal disease and retinal lesions were evaluated with optical coherence tomography (OCT). We observed focal elevations of retinal pigment epithelium on OCT images. We conclude that, OCT is a useful, noninvasive technique in evaluating the presence and progression of the retinal lesions especially in patients fluorescein angiography is not allowed.

Özet

Membranoproliferatif glomerülonefrit Tip II, glomerül bazal membranı, koroid ve Bruch membranında elektron-yoğun birikimlerle karakterize bir hastalıktır. Fundusta, drusen benzeri lezyonlann görülmesi tanısal olmakla birlikte flöresein anjiografi de erken lezyonlan göstermesi nedeniyle yararlıdır. Bu çalışmada, bir gözünde görme azlığı nedeniyle başvuran 42 yaşındaki MPGN Tip ll'li olguda oluşan fundus bulguları sunulmuştur. Olguya genel durumu nedeniyle flöresein anjiografi uygulanamamış, bulgular optik koherens tomografi (OCT) ile değerlendirilmiştir. Elde edilen kesitlerde retina pigment epitelinde (RPE) yükselti odakları ve kabarıklıklar saptanmıştır. OCT'nin noninvaziv olması nedeniyle, flöresein anjiografi uygulanamayan olgularda, retinopatinin tanımlanması ve izleminde uygun bir yöntem olabileceği düşünülmüştür.
