Bilateral Ota Nevus Olgusu

Abstract

Naevus fusculoeruleus ophthalmomaxillaris olarak da bilinen Ota nevus, 1939 yılında Japon dermatolog Ota tarafından tanımlanmıştır []. Trigeminal sinirin 1. ve 2. dallarının innerve ettiği bölgelerdeki deri ve mukozalarda pigmentasyon artışı ile karakterizedir. Lezyonlar genellikle unilateraldir ancak olguların %5’inde bilateral olduğu bildirilmiştir. Yüzünde ve gözlerinde kahverengi lekelenme şikayeti ile polikliniğimize başvuran ve bilateral Ota nevus tanısı alan 32 yaşındaki bayan olguyu nadir görülmesi nedeniyle yayınlamayı uygun bulduk. ©2007, Fırat Üniversitesi, Tıp Fakültesi
