Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness and optic disc measurements in patients with nonocular Behçet’s disease. Material and Method: Forty-six eyes of 23 patients with nonocular Behçet’s disease (Group 1) and 30 eyes of 15 healthy subjects (Group 2) were included in the study. A detailed ophthalmologic examination was performed, and the RNFL thickness and optic disc measurements were made by optical coherence tomography (OCT) in all cases. Thinning was considered when the RNFL thickness values were below 5%. Results: The mean RNFL thickness was 104.08±8.27 mm and 106.98±9.14 mm in group 1 and group 2, respectively. No significant difference was found between the two groups in terms of mean RNFL thickness (p>0.05). In group 1, the thinning of RNFL was detected in: one segment-13 eyes (28%), two segments-10 eyes (22%), three segments-2 eyes (4.3%), one quadrant - 8 eyes (17.4%), and two quadrants - 1 eye (2.2%). In group 2, the thinning of RNFL was observed in one segment - 7 eyes (25%) and in three segments - 2 eyes (7%). No thinning was detected in any quadrants in group 2. The thinning of RNFL in both segments and quadrants between the two groups was found to be significantly different (p0.05). Discussion: Thinning of RNFL may be seen in patients with nonocular Behçet’s disease. The OCT can be used as an ancillary examination method in these patients.

Özet

Amaç:Göz tutulumu olmayan Behçet hastalarında retina sinir lifi tabakası (RSLT) kalınlığı ve optik disk ölçümlerinin değerlendirilmesi. Gereç ve Yöntem: Göz tutulumu olmayan Behçet hastası 23 olgunun 46 gözü (Grup 1) ve sağlıklı 15 olgunun 30 gözü (Grup 2) çalışmaya dahil edildi. Tüm olgulara detaylı oftalmolojik muayene uygulandı ve optik koherens tomografi (OKT) ile RSLT kalınlığı ve optik disk ölçümleri yapıldı. RSLT kalınlığında %5’in altındaki değerler incelme olarak kabul edildi. Sonuçlar: Ortalama RSLT kalınlığı Grup 1’de 104.08±8.27 mm, Grup 2’de ise 106,98 ± 9,14 mm idi ve iki grup arasında anlamlı farklılık saptanmadı (p>0,05). Grup 1’de, 13 gözde (%28) bir, 10 gözde (%22) iki, 2 gözde (%4,3) üç segmentte incelme ve 8 gözde (% 17,4) bir, 1 gözde (% 2,2) iki kadranda RSLT’de incelme tespit edildi. Grup 2’de, 7 gözde (% 25) bir, 2 gözde (% 7) üç segmentte incelme saptandı ve hiçbir gözde herhangi bir kadranda incelme saptanmadı. Grup 1 ve Grup 2 arasında hem segmentlerde hem de kadranlarda RSLT incelmesi açısından anlamlı farklılık saptandı (p0,05). Tartışma: Göz tutulumu olmayan Behçet hastalarında RSLT’de incelmeler görülebilmektedir. Bu hastalarda OKT yardımcı bir muayene yöntemi olarak kullanılabilir.
