Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical findings, complications and prognosis of pattern dystrophies in a case series. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the records of patient with pattern dystrophy (PD) with respect to demographic data, clinical history, and ophthalmologic findings. Fluorescein angiography (FA) and fundus photography of all cases were reviewed and type of PD, bilaterality, symmetry, and complications were noted. Cases complicated with choroidal neovascularization (CNV) were treated with argon laser. Results: PD was observed in 47 eyes of 25 patients, 53% of which were butterfly shaped dystrophy (BD). Fundus pulverulentus (FP) (23%) and reticular dystrophy (13%) were other common subtypes. Most of the eyes (72%) had a best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 20/25 or better. CNV was observed in 9 eyes (19%), and most of these were classical membranes. Six of the CNVs were treated with argon laser, and visual acuity improved or remained stable in these eyes. Conclusion: PDs may be more prevalent than expected in normal population, and have a favorable prognosis if not complicated with CNV. PD should be considered in the differential diagnosis of presumed idiopathic CNV.

Özet

Amaç: Patern distrofilerin klinik bulgularını, komplikasyonlarını ve prognozunu bir olgu serisinde değerlendirmek. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Kliniğimizde patern distrofi (PD) tanısı konulan olgular demografik verileri, özgeçmişleri ve oftalmolojik bulguları açısından geriye dönük olarak değerlendirildi. Tüm olguların fundus fotoğrafları ve fundus floresein anjiyografileri (FFA) incelendi ve PD tipi, bilateralitesi, simetrisi ve retina komplikasyonları değerlendirildi. Koroidal neovaskülarizasyon (KNV) gelişen olgular argon laser ile tedavi edildi. Bulgular: PD 25 olgunun 47 gözünde saptandı. Bunların çoğu (%53) kelebek şekilli distrofi (KD) idi. Fundus pulverulentus (FP) (%23) ve retiküler distrofi (RD) (%13) diğer sık görülen distrofilerdi. Gözlerin çoğunda (%72) tashihli görme keskinliği (GK) 0,8 ve üstünde idi. Dokuz gözde (%19) KNV saptandı ve bunların çoğu klasik membrandı. Bunlardan 6’sı argon laser ile tedavi edildi. Bu gözlerde GK aynı düzeyde kaldı veya arttı. Sonuç: PD’lerin sıklığı bugüne dek bildirilenden daha yüksek olabilir ve prognozları KNV gelişmedikçe iyi olma eğilimindedir. İdiyopatik olduğu kabul edilen KNV’lerin etiyolojik ayırıcı tanısında PD her zaman akılda tutulmalıdır.
