Abstract

In clinical practice, it may be hard to diagnose posterior scleritis merely with the symptoms and observations. In these cases, tests like ultrasonography, fluorescein angiography and computerized tomography are necessary. In this report, we evaluated the indocyanine green angiographic findings of two patients, who were diagnosed with posterior scleritis in addition to ante-rior nodular scleritis. In both patients, indocyanine green angiography showed choroidal vasodiation and hyperfluoresence due to leakage in large choroidal vessels during the active phase of the posterior scleritis. However, these signs could no longer be seen after treatment, as the symptoms disappeared. We suggest that indocyanine green angiography may be a valuable test in the diagnosis and follow-up of posterior scleritis.

Özet

Klinikte arka sklerit tanısını sadece belirti ve bulgulara dayanarak koymak güç olabilir. Bu durumda ultrasonografi, floresein anjiografi, bilgisayarlı tomografi gibi yardımcı tetkiklere ihtiyaç duyulur. Bu yazıda, ön nodüler sklerit ve arka sklerit tanısı konan iki hastanın İndosiyanin yeşili anjiografi bulguları değerlendirildi. Her iki hastada İndosiyanin yeşili anjiografi ile, arka sklerit bulgularının aktif olduğu dönemde koroidin büyük damarlarında genişleme ve sızıntıya bağlı hiperfloresans saptandı. Ayrıca bu görünümün tedavi sonrasında diğer belirti ve bulguların düzelmesi ile ortadan kalktığı gözlendi. İndosiyanin yeşili anjiografi arka skleritin koroid tutulumunun tanısı ve takibinde yararlı bir test olabilir.
