初診時すでに前増殖もしくは増殖糖尿病網膜症を呈し,汎網膜光凝固術もしくは硝子体手術の適応とされた38例につき検討し,網膜症の発見,治療開始が遅れた理由につき考察した。糖尿病発見の契機は自覚症状であったものが多く,眼科的自覚症状がその契機となったのは2例のみであった。しかし当科受診時には大多数が不可逆的眼病変を有しており,内科医からのより早期における依頼診が切望された。26例に眼科受診歴があり,24例が網膜症を告知されていたにもかかわらず,網膜光凝固術がなされていなかった。その理由として,螢光眼底造影の未施行による病期誤認の可能性が推察された。網膜症の正確な診断のためには螢光眼底造影を積極的に行うべきと考えられた。
We reviewed 38 cases of severe and untreated preproliferative or proliferative diabetic retinopathy. All the cases were diagnosed as necessitating immediate panretinal photocoagulation or vitreous surgery. These cases were evaluated as to the cause of late detection. Subjective complaints led to the detection of diabetes mellitus in the majority of cases. Eye symptoms led to detection of diabetes in only 2 cases. Early referral from physicians was ardently needed. Consultation by ophthalmologist had been made in 26 patients before being seen by us, of whom retinopathy had been detected in 24. It appeared that the severity of retinopathy had been overlooked as eye examination had been performed by ophthalmoscopy alone and not by fluorescein angiography.
