要約 目的:身体表現性障害患者の視覚に関連した不定愁訴に対し,心療眼科的アプローチが奏効した症例の報告。症例と経過:パソコン入力を職業とする37歳女性が,転職を機に生じた羞明,光視症,開瞼困難,めまい,頭痛などの不定愁訴で受診した。複数の医療機関を受診していたが,器質性病変は発見されなかった。精神疾患に属する身体症状であると考えられたため,簡単なカウンセリングを試み,精神科に誘導した。精神科で鑑別不能型身体表現性障害と診断され,ベンゾジアゼピン系の抗不安薬の投与を受けた。2か月後に症状は軽快した。結論:器質性疾患が関係しない眼科的な不定愁訴は,身体表現性障害である可能性があり,心療眼科的アプローチが奏効することがある。
