Abstract

Acute ischemic stroke is a common cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Motor deficits are often the main problem in these patients. However, sensory losses related to touch, hearing and sight also occur in many patients. Impaired color vision, visual hallucinations, and visual field defects often develop as regards to vision. Visual field damage is often seen in occipital and temporal lobe lesions and middle and posterior cerebral artery infarcts. Patients who had stroke often present to the emergency outpatient departments with weakness in the extremities, speech impairment, and clouding of consciousness. It is rare in daily practice for a stroke diagnosis to be made after the patient presents to an ophthalmology outpatient department with complaints of only visual loss or blurred vision. We present clinical findings of two patients who presented to our clinic with visual symptoms, but without any ophthalmic pathology detected during ophthalmologic, examinations and received diagnosis of stroke after the visual field test revealed defects.

Özet

Akut iskemik inme, tüm dünyada en sık mortalite ve morbiditeye neden olan hastalıklar arasındadır. Hastalarda sıklıkla motor defisitler ön plandadır. Ancak birçok hastada dokunma, işitme ve görme vb. ile ilgili duyusal kayıplar da meydana gelmektedir. Görme ile ilgili sıklıkla renkli görmede bozukluk, görsel halüsinasyonlar, görme alanında defektler gelişmektedir. Görme alanı hasarı sıklıkla oksipital ve temporal lob lezyonlarında, orta ve posterior serebral arter infarktlarında görülmektedir. İnme geçiren hastalar sıklıkla ekstremitelerde güçsüzlük, konuşma bozukluğu, bilinç bulanıklığı yakınması ile acil polikliniklerine başvurup tanı almakta ve tedavi edilmektedir. Günlük pratikte göz hastalıkları polikliniklerine görme kaybı ya da görme bulanıklığı yakınması ile başvurup, yapılan tetkikler sonucu inme tanısı konulması ender görülmektedir. Bu makalede, kliniğimize görsel semptomlarla başvurup oftalmolojik muayenelerinde patoloji saptanmayan, yapılan görme alanı testi sonucu defekt saptanıp, inme tanısı alan iki hastanın klinik bulguları anlatılmaktadır.
