Abstract

In this paper we report a case of atypical acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy patient with foveal in- volvement who was treated with systemic steroid. A 28 year old female patient applied to our clinic with complaint of sudden painless vision lost in her left eye for three days. Fundus examination of her left eye revealed multifocal, flat, grey-white placoid lesions primarily located in posterior pole with serous macular detachment. Her right eye was normal. Fluorescein angiography denoted bilateral involvement. Since foveal involvement was determined 1 mg/kg/day oral metilprednisolone treatment was administered. Although steroid treatment rapidly resolved serous macular detachment, it does not seem to affect markedly the natural course of the disease.

Özet

Bu yazıda sistemik steroid ile tedavi edilen, fovea tutulumu ile birlikte olan atipik bir akut posterior multifokal plakoid pigment epitelyopati olgusunu bildirmekteyiz. Yirmi sekiz yaşında kadın hasta sol gözünde 3 gündür devam etmekte olan ani, ağrısız görme kaybı şikayeti ile kliniğimize başvurdu. Hastanın sol gözünün fundus incelemesi özellikle arka kutba yerleşik, çok odaklı, düzgün, gri-beyaz lezyonlarla birlikte seröz maküla dekolmanını göstermekteydi. Hastanın sağ gözü normaldi. Fluoresein anjografi bilateral etkilenmeye işaret etmekteydi. Foveal etkilenme tespit edildiği için 1 mg/kg/gün oral metilprednizolon tedavisi uygulandı. Steroid tedavisi seröz maküla dekolmanını hızlıca yatıştırdıysa da hastalığın doğal gidişatını önemli ölçüde etkilemiyor gibi görülmektedir.
