摘要:

Purpose To determine the role of hematological and genetic factors in the development of orbital infarction in sickle cell disease. Design Retrospective, noncomparative case series. Methods Fourteen sickle cell disease patients were diagnosed with orbital infarction during a vaso-occlusive crisis. Clinical and radiological findings were reviewed retrospectively. Sickle cell disease patients without orbital infarction were recruited as controls after matching for disease severity. Sickle haplotypes were determined for all patients. Differences between groups were evaluated statistically. Results Patients with orbital infarction in sickle cell disease presented with acute periorbital pain and swelling with or without proptosis, ophthalmoplegia, and visual impairment during a vaso-occlusive crisis. Radiological findings included orbital soft tissue swelling (100%), hematoma (orbital, 36%; intracranial, 21%), and abnormal bone marrow intensities. Severity of orbital involvement was unrelated to that of the systemic disease (Pearson correlation coefficient, −0.1567). Affected patients predominantly had the Benin haplotype (P < .00782). Conclusions Orbital infarction is a potential threat to vision in sickle cell disease patients. Magnetic resonance imaging is more specific than computed tomography or nuclear scintigraphy in the evaluation of orbital changes. The degree of severity of the orbital manifestations appears unrelated to the severity of sickle cell disease. Patients with the Benin haplotype are more likely to develop orbital infarction during vaso-occlusive crises.
