Abstract

SUMMARY Preeclampsia is a pregnancy- specific disorder, characterized by hypertension and proteinuria and occurring after the second half of pregnancy. When the brain was affected by tonic-clonic seizures, a form of eclampsia occurs. Eclampsia occurs in approximately 0.5% of women with mild preeclampsia and in approximately 2% to 3% of those with severe preeclampsia. Visual symptoms of preeclampsia and eclampsia include decreased vision, photopsia, and visual field defects. Visual disturbances occur in an estimated 25% of patients with severe preeclampsia. Blindness, however, is reported in only 1% to 2% of eclamptic women, and is almost exclusively a temporary phenomenon. Sudden visual impairment or total blindness is a frightening and terrifying experience in a previously healthy person. Fortunately, it almost always resolves, as do the other laboratory and clinical indices within days after removal of the fetus and placenta. A careful history, neurological and ophthalmic examination, and to be positively supported the patient and the relatives are great importance. In this presentation,we aimed to present the clinical course of the patient with bilateral cortical visual loss, who was operated an emergency Cesarean section due to eclampsia.

Özet

ÖZET Preeklampsi; gebeliğin ikinci yarısından sonra görülen, hipertansiyon ve proteinüri ile karakterize gebeliğe özgü bir bozukluktur. Tonik-klonik nöbet oluşturarak beynin etkilenmesiyle eklampsi formu oluşur. Eklampsi hafif preeklampsilerin %0.5’inde, ağır preeklampsilerin ise %2 ile %3’ünde görülmektedir. Preeklampsi ve eklampsi görmede azalma, fotopsi ve görme alanı defektleri gibi semptomları oluşmaktadır. Şiddetli preeklampside gebelerin %25’inde görme bozuklukları meydana gelirken, eklampside gebelerin %1 ile %2’sinde körlük bildirilmiştir ve nerdeyse tamamında geçici bir fenomendir. Ani görme bozukluğu veya körlük önceden sağlıklı olan bir birey için oldukça korkutucu ve endişe vericidir. Neyse ki klinik (fetusun ve plesantanın doğurtulması gibi) ve laboratuar değerlerin düzeltilmesiyle günler içinde tamamen iyileşmektedir. Titiz bir öykü ile nörolojik ve oftalmik muayene, hasta ve yakınlarına pozitif destek ile güven verilmesi büyük önem taşmaktadır. Bu sunumda, eklampsi nedeniyle acil sezaryen yapılan, bilateral kortikal görme kaybı olan olgunun yoğun bakımdaki klinik seyrini sunmayı amaçladık.
