Abstract

In this case report we aimed to present a case of Lyme disease presenting as peripheral retinal vasculitis, intermediate uveitis and multifocal white dots in the posterior pole. The patient exhibited vitritis and snowball opacities in both eyes. A diagnosis of Lyme disease was made based on clinical, angiographic and laboratory findings. Fundus fluorescein angiography revealed optic nerve and retinal venous leakage as well as multiple hyperfluorescent foci in both eyes. The patient's symptoms and ocular findings significant improved after treatment with a combination of systemic antibiotics and steroids. Ophthalmologists should bear in mind that conditions presenting with uveitis and multifocal white dots may be related to Lyme disease.

Özet

Bu olgu sunumunda periferal retinal vaskülit, intermediyer üveit ve arka kutupta multifokal beyaz noktaları ile ortaya çıkan bir Lyme hastalığı olgusunu sunmayı amaçladık. Her iki gözünde vitrit ve kartopu opasiteleri olan hastada Lyme hastalığı tanısı klinik, anjiyografik ve laboratuvar bulguları ile konuldu. Hastanın fundus floresein anjiyografisinde optik sinirde ve retinal venlerde sızıntı ve bilateral çok sayıda hiperfloresan odak mevcuttu. Hastada uygulanan kombine antibiyotik ve steroid tedavisi ile semptom ve bulgularda belirgin düzelme saptandı. Oftalmologlar üveit ve multifokal beyaz nokta hastalıklarının Lyme hastalığı ile birlikte olabileceğini akılda tutmalıdır.
