Abstract

Herein, we report the case of a patient who had granulomatous anterior uveitis, internal ophthalmoplegia, and retinal vasculitis during chickenpox disease. A 9-year-old girl was admitted to our clinic with blurred vision and hyperemia in the right eye. Corrected visuaacuity was 20/20 in both eyes. Direct/indirect pupillary reactions were negative in the right eye and pupil was dilated. Biomicroscopic examination revealed middle-sized granulomatous keratic precipitates and a severe anterior chamber reaction. Fundus examination was normal. As there were red papules all over the body she was diagnosed as anterior uveitis secondary to chickenpox and systemictopical acyclovir, topical steroid, antihistaminic suspension, isolation, and follow-up were recommended. On day 6, anterior chamber inflammation decreased remarkably, whereas a salt-pepper appearance was observed in the retina. On day 10, a perivascular sheathing was observed, which regressed after 1 month, and her medications were slowly tapered and discontinued. Although anterior uveitis is a common finding after chickenpox, the occurrence of three different involvements is very rare. (Turk J Ophthalmol 2013; 43: 358-61)

Özet

Bu olgu sunumunda suçiçeği esnasında granülomatöz ön üveit, internal oftalmopleji ve retinal vaskülit gelişen bir olgu tartışıldıDokuz yaşında bir kız çocuğu sağ gözde bulanık görme ve kızarıklık şikayetiyle tarafımıza başvurdu. Her iki göz düzeltilmiş görme keskinlikleri 20/20 düzeyindeydi. Sağ göz direkt ve indirekt ışık reaksiyonları negatifti ve pupil dilate idi. Biyomikroskopik muayenede sağ göz korneada orta büyüklükte granülomatöz keratik presipitatlar ve ön kamarada yoğun hücre reaksiyonu mevcuttu. Fundus muayenesi normaldi. Hastanın tüm vücudunda kırmızı renkte papüller lezyonları görülmesi üzerine suçiçeğine sekonder granülomatoz ön üveit tanısıyla sistemik ve topikal asiklovir ve steroid, antihistaminik süspansiyon, izolasyon ve günlük takip önerildi. Altıncı günde keratik presipitat ve hücre reaksiyonu azalırken, retinada tuz biber manzarası izlendi. Onuncu günde retinanın nazal ve temporaperifer kadranlarında görülen perivasküler kılıflanma 4. haftada tamamen geriledi ve ilaçlar azaltılarak kesildi. Suçiçeğinde ön üveit sık görülmesine rağmen, 3 farklı tutulumun görülmesi son derece nadirdir. (Turk J Ophthalmol 2013; 43: 358-61)
