ANEVRİZMAYA BAĞLI OLMAYAN ARTERİAL TEMASTAN DOLAYI GERÇEKLEŞEN GÖRME ALANI DEFEKTİ: BİR OLGU SUNUMU

Olgumuzda, ektazik ve anevrizmatik olmayan arteriyal temasın neden olduğu görme alanı defekti olan bir hasta sunulmuştur. Hikayesinde özellik olmayan 29 yaşında bayan hastanın 2 yıl önce başlayan görme alanı defekti mevcuttu. Görme alanı muayenesinde sağ gözde kısmi görme alanı defekti tespit edildi. Yapılan radyolojik değerlendirmelerde anterior serebral arterin ilk segmenti ile sağ optik sinir arasında yakın temas tespit edildi. Ancak manyetik rezonans görüntülemesinde yer kaplayan bir kitle yada bilgisayarlı tomografi anjiografisinde anevrizmal yada ektazik bir arteriyal lezyon görülmedi.

Visual Field Defect Due to Non-aneurysmal Arterial Contact: A Case Report

In this case, we describe a patient with visual field defect caused by non-ectatic/non- aneurysmatic arterial contact. A 29-year-old woman withno significant past medical history had noticed with the complaint of visual field loss in her right eye that started 2 years ago. Visual fieldexamination showed partial visual field defects in the right eye. Radiologic examination has revealed a close relationship of right optic nervewith the first segment of anterior cerebral artery. However no typical space-occupying mass was revealed in the magnetic resonance imagingand no aneurysmal or ectatic arterial lesion was seen in the computed tomography angiography.
