要約 目的:片眼に単純ヘルペスウイルス(HSV)による急性網膜壊死(ARN)を発症し,治療により鎮静化後,9年を経て僚眼に再発したHSV-1型によるARNの1例を経験したので報告する。
症例:77歳,男性。2013年3月に左視力低下のため近医を受診し,左眼ぶどう膜炎が認められ紹介受診となった。初診時視力は右(0.9),左(0.2)であり,眼圧は右17mmHg,左11mmHgであった。左眼底に黄白色の壊死病巣を認め,前房水PCR検査にてHSV陽性と判明し,HSVによるARNと診断された。アシクロビルと副腎皮質ステロイド薬の全身投与,予防的硝子体手術を行い,眼底病変は鎮静化した。視力は右(1.0),左(0.02)であった。初発から約9年後の2021年12月に右眼の飛蚊症を自覚し,視力は右(0.9),左(10cm指数弁)で,眼圧は両眼とも14mmHgであった。右眼に虹彩毛様体炎,硝子体混濁を認め,右眼底に網膜動脈炎を認めた。前房水PCR検査にてHSV-1陽性で,僚眼におけるARNの再発と診断した。アシクロビルと副腎皮質ステロイド薬の全身投与に反応し,治療開始1か月後には硝子体混濁,網膜動脈炎は軽快した。2023年7月の段階では炎症の再燃もなく,右(1.0)と良好な視力に改善している。
結論:ARNは初発眼の発症から長期経過後に僚眼に再発することがあるため,長期間にわたり注意深く経過観察する必要がある。
Abstract Purpose:To report a case of recurrent acute retinal necrosis(ARN)in the fellow eye, 9 years after the initial manifestation of ARN caused by herpes simplex virus type 1(HSV-1).
Case:A 77-year-old man initially presented with decreased vision in the left eye in March 2013 and was referred to our hospital with a diagnosis of uveitis. On initial examination at our hospital, the best corrected visual acuity was 0.9 in the right eye, and 0.2 in the left eye. The intraocular pressure was 17 mmHg in the right eye and 11 mmHg in the left eye. A white necrotic lesion was identified in the left fundus, and HSV was detected in the aqueous humor via PCR testing, leading to a diagnosis of HSV-ARN. He underwent systemic administration of acyclovir and corticosteroids, along with prophylactic vitrectomy, resulting in the resolution of the fundus lesions. The best corrected visual acuity of the right eye was 1.0 and that of the left eye was 0.02. in December 2021, he noticed floaters in his right eye, 9 years after the initial onset of ARN. Best-corrected visual acuity was 0.9 in the right eye and counting fingers at 10 cm in the left eye. Intraocular pressure measured 14 mmHg in both eyes. There were inflammatory cells in the anterior chamber;iridocyclitis, vitreous opacity, and retinal arteritis were detected in the right eye. HSV1-ARN recurred in the fellow eye by detecting HSV-1 in the aqueous humor via a PCR test. He responded positively to systemic administration of acyclovir and corticosteroids, and the vitreous opacity and retinal arteritis resolved 1 month after treatment. Best corrected visual acuity was recovered to 1.0 in the right eye.
Conclusion:Patients with ARN should be followed up carefully for long time, because ARN can recur in the fellow eye sometimes years after initial onset.
