Abstract

Branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) is a rare retinal vascular disorder in which one of the branches of central retinal artery is obstructed. It is a less common disorder and seen more often in young adults when compared to central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO). A 33 year-old male and a 39-year old female were admitted to our outpatient department with the complaint of sudden, painless visual loss in one eye. Fundoscopic examination revealed BRAO and a procedure similar to emergency protocol in management of CRAO was performed. Labaratory studies showed protein S deficiency in both cases. The final visual acuities at the 7 months follow up were better when compared to visual acuities seen in SRAT cases. Hereditery trombofilia due to protein S deficiency should be kept in mind as an etiological factor of BRAO especially in young adults

Özet

Retinal arter dal tıkanıklığı (RADT), santral retinal arterin dallarından herhangi birinin tıkandığı nadir görülen bir retinal damar hastalığıdır. Santral retinal arter tıkanıklığına (SRAT) göre daha az görülmekte ve daha genç grubu etkilemektedir. Kliniğimize ani ağrısız görme kaybı ile başvuran biri 33 yaşında erkek, öteki 39 yaşında bayan iki hastanın göz dibi incelemesi sonucunda RADT tespit edildi. SRAT ilk müdahale planına benzer şekilde müdahale edildi. Olası etkenin tespit edilmesi açısından istenen tetkikler sonucunda her iki hastada da protein S eksikliği saptandı. Her iki hastanın 7 aylık takipleri sonucunda ulaşılan görme keskinliği düzeylerinin SRAT olgularında görülen görme düzeyleri ile karşılaştırıldığında daha kabul edilebilir seviyede olduğu gözlendi. Nispeten genç hastalarda görülen retinal arter tıkanıklıklarında trombofilik bir etken olarak protein S eksikliği akıldan çıkarılmamalıdır
