Abstract

A 43-year-old female patient presented to our eye clinic with blurred vision and redness in the right eye for 2 weeks. Biomicroscopic examination revealed peripheral ulcerative keratitis with corneal thinning. After prescribing topical fluorometholon, moxifloxacin, preservative-free artificial tears, and vitamin A ointment, the patient was referred to Rheumatology department. Based on clinical findings and systemic research, the diagnosis of Behçet s disease was established, and oral systemic azathioprine, hydroxychloroquine, and prednisolone treatment was started. In this study, we presented a case of peripheral ulcerative keratitis, an ocular manifestation

Özet

Kırk üç yaşında bayan hasta iki haftadır sağ gözde bulanık görme ve kızarıklık şikayetiyle göz kliniğine başvurdu. Yapılan biyomikroskobik muayenede korneada incelme ile seyreden periferik ülseratif keratit tespit edildi. Hastaya topikal florometalon, moksifloksasin, prezervan içermeyen suni göz yaşı ve vitamin A göz pomadı reçete edildikten sonra hasta Romatoloji kliniğine yönlendirildi. Klinik bulgular ve yapılan sistemik araştırmalar neticesinde hastaya Behçet hastalığı teşhisi konularak oral sistemik azotiyopurin, hidroksiklorokin ve prednizolon başlandı. Bu çalışmada Behçet hastalığında nadir bir oküler bulgu olan periferik ülseratif keratit olgusu sunulmuştur. (Turk J Ophthalmol 2014; 44: 484-5)
