Abstract

Optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH) is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder described by the optic disc is abnormally small regardless of sex or race. Imaging methods are frequently used in the diagnosis. In our case, a 17-year-old male patient, came to the clinic because of a deviation in his left eye, the examination showed hypoplasia of the optic nerve in the left eye. In ON hypoplasia, reported cases may include severe Central nervous system (CNS) malformations. However, we recommend periodic systemic examinations along with occupational rehabilitation, parental education and mobility training for these unique children.

Abstract

Optik sinir hipoplazisi, cinsiyet veya ırktan bağımsız olarak optik diskin anormal derecede küçük olması ile tanımlanan nadir bir nörogelişimsel bozukluktur. Tanıda görüntüleme yöntemleri sıklıkla kullanılmaktadır. Olgumuzda 17 yaşında erkek hasta sol gözünde kayma şikayeti ile kliniğe başvurdu, yapılan muayenede sol gözde optik sinir hipoplazisi saptandı. Optik sinir hipoplazisinde, bildirilen vakalar ciddi Santral sinir sistemi (SSS) malformasyonlarını içerebilir. Ancak bu çocuklar için mesleki rehabilitasyon, ebeveyn eğitimi ve hareket eğitimi ile birlikte periyodik sistemik muayeneleri önermekteyiz.
