Urrets-Zavalıa Syndrome In A Sıckle Cell Traıt Patıent Wıth Traumatıc Hyphema

Year 2013, Volume: 4 Issue: 15, 43 - 46, 03.03.2015

Abstract

Patients with sickle cell disease or trait are more susceptible to complications secondary to traumatic hyphema and incidence of optic nerve atrophy, recurrent hemorrhage is high in these
patients. These complications could lead to permanent impairment of vision. Because of the nature of the disease it is difficult to control the elevated intraocular pressure despite the
introduction of new antiglaucoma medications. In this case report, we present a sickle cell trait patient with hyphema, fixed dilated pupil and elevated intraocular pressure.

TRAVMATİK HİFEMALI BİR ORAK HÜCRE TAŞIYICISINDA URRETS-ZAVALİA SENDROMU

Abstract

Orak hücre taşıyıcıları veya hastalarında hifemaya bağlı gelişebilen optik sinir atrofisi veya tekrarlayan hemoraji gibi komplikasyonlar daha sık görülmektedir ve maalesef bu komplikasyonlar
kalıcı görme kaybına neden olabilmektedirler. Bu hastalığın kendine özgü yapısından dolayı glokom hastalarında oldukça etkili olan güncel antiglokomatöz medikasyonlara rağmen artmış
GİB’i kontrol etmek oldukça zordur. Biz bu vakada, orak hücre anemi taşıyıcısı olan ve künt göz travmasına bağlı hifema sonucu fiks dilate pupil ve GİB yüksekliği gelişen bir hastayı sunmayı
amaçladık.
