要約 目的:片眼の前部虚血性視神経症(AION)が初発症状であった,顕微鏡的多発血管炎(MPA)の1例を経験したので報告する。症例:87歳女性。2週間前からの右眼視力低下にて受診。右眼光覚なし,左眼矯正視力0.4,右眼RAPD陽性,右眼に軽度の乳頭浮腫を認めた。MPO-ANCA 46EUであり,MPAに伴うAIONが疑われた。全身検査にて間質性肺炎,慢性腎不全を認め,MPAの確定診断に至った。内科にてステロイド療法および免疫療法を開始したところ,次第に症状は軽快し,1か月後には右眼視力40cm/指数弁とやや改善した。左眼は現在まで特に異常所見を認めていない。結論:初診時にAIONを認めた場合には,MPAも鑑別診断の1つと考え,必要に応じてANCAを調べることが重要と考えられた。
Abstract. Purpose:To report a case of anterior ischemic optic neuropathy(AION)as the initial manifestation of microscopic polyangiitis(MPA). Case:An 87-year-old female presented with impaired vision in the right eye since 2 weeks before. Findings:Best-corrected visual acuity was no light perception right and 0.4 left. The right eye showed retarded light reaction and slight disc edema. Fluorescein angiography showed hyperfluorescence of the optic disc. MPA was suspected due to elevated blood sedimentation rate and CRP, and high value of myeloperoxidase anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody(MPO-ANCA). The diagnosis was confirmed after she was found to have interstitial pneumonia and chronic nephritis. After treatment with systemic prednisolone and immunosuppressive agents, visual acuity in the right eye improved to 0.02 one month later. Her left eye remained unaffected until present. Conclusion:MPO-ANCA was elevated in this case of AION as the initial manifestation of MPA.
