PURPOSE/METHODS: A 72-year-old woman with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-positive vasculitis had a combined detachment of the choroid and retina. This unique initial manifestation was also associated with systemic and orbital manifestations, including brow ptosis, dacryoadenitis, and pneumonitis.
RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS: This patient underwent vitrectomy for removal of a dense vitreitis and responded well to systemic cyclophosphamide. This case demonstrates that antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody testing is useful for the diagnosis and treatment of Wegener's granulomatosis and microscopic polyarteritis-associated scleritis. The distinction between these two entities is often difficult to make.
目的/方法:一名72岁抗中性粒细胞胞浆抗体阳性血管炎女性患者出现脉络膜和视网膜联合脱离。这种独特的初始表现还伴有全身和眼眶表现,包括眉下垂、泪腺炎和肺炎。
结果/结论:该患者接受了玻璃体切除术以清除浓密的玻璃体炎,并且对全身环磷酰胺治疗反应良好。该病例表明抗中性粒细胞胞浆抗体检测对韦格纳肉芽肿和显微镜下多动脉炎相关巩膜炎的诊断和治疗有用。这两种疾病之间的区分往往很难做出。
