Abstract

A 31-year-old male patient was admitted to our eye clinic with the complaints of bilateral blurred vision and photophobia. He also suffered from a severe headache, tinnitus, morning stiffness, and arthralgias. His medical history revealed that he had been receiving care for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) for eight years. The best corrected visual acuity was 20/50 in the left eye and 20/40 in the right. His ocular examination revealed bilateral panuveitis with serous retinal detachment. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) confirmed the presence of bilateral subretinal fluid, while fluorescein angiography (FA) demonstrated a "starry sky" appearance and optic disc staining. The patient was diagnosed with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease based on the clinical, FA, and OCT findings. In conclusion, both RA and VKH disease share many similar genetic and environmental factors in their etiopathogenesis. Therefore,further investigations are required to confirm the association between these two autoimmune diseases

Özet

Otuz bir yaşında erkek hasta, iki taraflı bulanık görme ve fotofobi yakınmaları ile kliniğimize başvurdu. Hastanın aynı zamanda şiddetli baş ağrısı, çınlama ve sabah tutukluğu ve artralji yakınmaları vardı. Hastanın tıbbi öyküsünde sekiz yıldır romatoid artrit (RA) nedeniyle tedavi edildiği öğrenildi. Düzeltilmiş görme keskinliği sol gözde 20/50 ve sağ gözde 20/40 düzeyindeydi. Oküler muayenede iki taraflı panüveit ve seröz retina dekolmanı izlendi. Optik koherens tomografide (OCT) iki taraflı subretinal sıvı varlığı tespit edilirken, floresein anjiyografide (FA) "yıldızlı gökyüzü" görünümü ve optik disk boyanması gözlendi. Klinik, FA ve OCT bulguları ışığında hastaya Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) hastalığı tanısı konuldu. Sonuç olarak, RA ve VKH hastalığı, etyopatogenezinde çeşitli benzer genetik ve çevresel faktörleri paylaşmaktadır. Bu nedenle bu iki otoimmün hastalık arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya koyan ileri araştırmalar gerekmektedir
