Abstract

Purpase: In this study, we presented a case with ocular toxoplasmosis in whom branch retinal artery occlusion occured within the active retinochoroiditis lesion. In this patient, reperfusion of the artery was detected after corticosteroid and antiparasitic therapy. Toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis may be complicated rarely with retinal artery occlusions. For the management, antimicrobial therapy with corticosteroid should be considered in order to suppress the inflammation causing vascular occlusion.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada akut toksoplazmik retinokoroidite eşlik eden retina arter dal tıkanıklığı olan 13 yaşında bir olgu sunulmuştur. Bu olguda kortikosteroid ve antiparaziter tedavi sonrası arterde reperfüzyon saptanmıştır. Retina arter dal tıkanıklığı, toksoplazmik retinokoroiditin nadir görülen bir damarsal komplikasyonudur. Tedavide damar tıkanıklığına yol açan inflamasyonu baskılamak için kortikosteroidle birlikte antiparaziter ilaçlar kullanılmalıdır.
