Abstract

A patient who had subfoveal fluid associated with sympathetic ophthalmia following scleral buckling and subretinal fluid drainage surgery is evaluated. The subfoveal fluid was demonstrated with optical coherence tomography. The patient received oral corticosteroid and cyclosporine A combination. He is followed with regular examinations, fluorescein angiography and OCT. Visual acuity increased from 20/25 to 20/20 and the subfoveal fluid resolved in the sympathizing eye with therapy. OCT may be a valuable tool in monitoring the response to the systemic therapy of sympathetic ophthalmia with subfoveal exudation

Özet

Skleral çökertme ve subretinal sıvı drenajı sonrası sempatik oftalmi ve bununla birlikte subfoveal sıvı gelişen bir hasta incelendi. Subfoveal sıvı optik koherens tomografi (OKT) ile görüntülendi. Hastaya oral kortikosteroid ve siklosporin A kombine tedavisi uygulandı. Düzenli takiplerinde fundus flöresein anjiyografi ve OKT tetkikleri yapılan hastanın tedavi ile sempatize gözde, görme keskinliğinin 20/25’ten 20/20’ye yükseldiği ve subfoveal sıvısının çekildiği gözlendi. OKT sempatik oftalminin sistemik tedavinin etkinliğinin izlenmesinde değerli bir tetkik olabilir.
