Abstract

PURPOSE: The authors wanted to present two patients with posterior uveitis associated with bilateral optic disc neovascularisation without venous occlusion, which regressed with the resolution of the inflammation. METHOD: In addition to ophthalmological and systemic evaluation, color Doppler imaging (CDI) was performed in order to investigate alterations in retrobulbar circulation. RESULTS: The patients were diagnosed as Behçet's disease and idiopathic retinal vasculitis. In both cases, the optic disc neovascularisation without retinal ischemia regressed in response to topical and systemic steroid therapy, in addition to immunosuppresant treatment in one patient. CDI revealed some changes in the indices of ophthalmic, central retinal and posterior ciliary arteries which may be attributed to inflammation. CONCLUSION: The regression of optic disc neovascularisation was believed to be due to resolution of inflammation.

Özet

AMAÇ: Posterior üveiti olup da vasküler tıkanıklığı olmamasına rağmen optik disk neovaskülarizasyonu gelişen ve sistemik kortikosteroid tedavisine iyi yanıt alınan iki hastanın klinik ve inceleme bulguları araştırılarak tartışılmıştır. METOD: Bu çalışmada sistemik ve oftalmolojik araştırmaların yanısıra retrobulbar dolaşımın olaya katkısını incelemek amacı ile renkli Doppler ultrasonografi yöntemi ile hastaların retrobulbar kan akım hızı değişimleri incelenmiştir. BULGULAR: Hastalardan birinde Behçet hastalığı, diğerinde ise idiopatik retinal vaskülit tanısı konulmuştur. Her iki hastada da retinal iskemi olmamasına rağmen optik disk neovaskülarizasyonu gözlenmiş ve bu hastalarda optik disk neovaskülarizasyonu sistemik ve topikal steroid tedavisi ile gerilemiş, hastalardan birinde sık ataklar nedeni ile tedaviye immun sistem baskılayıcı ajan eklenmiştir. Renkli Doppler Ultrasonografi (RDU) de oftalmik (OA), santral retinal (SRA) ve posterior silier (PSA) arterlerin kan akım hızlarında ve indekslerde enflamasyonla uyumlu olabilecek değişiklikler saptanmıştır. SONUÇ: Bu hastalarda gözlenen optik disk neovaskülarizasyon gerilemesi göz içi dokulardaki enflamasyonun gerilemesine bağlanmıştır.
