Case summary: A 56-year-old female presented with large cupping in the left optic nerve head detected incidentally during a routine check-up. She had no underlying systemic disease except hypertension. The best corrected visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes and a slit-lamp examination showed no abnormal findings. Ophthalmoscopy showed cup/disc ratios of 0.6 in the right eye and 0.75 in the left eye. Relative afferent papillary defect or color vision defect was not observed. A Humphrey visual-field test indicated unilateral nasal hemianopsia in the left eye. Brain CT and angiography revealed a large 2.2-cm aneurysm on the left internal carotid artery. Conclusions: Internal carotid artery aneurysm should be considered as a possible cause of unilateral nasal hemianopsia in patients without intraocular lesion.

- 김경남외 : 단안비측반맹으로발현된내경동맥류 - A B C Figure 4. Brain CT images of axial section (A) and coronal section (B) shows 2.2-cm large aneurysm on the left internal carotid artery (black arrow) compressing the lateral aspect of the left optic nerve in front of the optic chiasm. Brain CT angiography (C) demonstrates large aneurysm located on the paraclinoid portion of the left internal carotid artery (white arrow). 모두정상범위안에있었고이측망막신경섬유층의두께는좌안이유의하게얇아진것으로나타났다 (Fig. 3). 다시시행한시야검사에서동일한양상의시야결손이확인되었고, 뇌컴퓨터단층촬영및혈관조영술을시행하였다. 지름 2.2 cm 크기의좌측침상돌기주변내경동맥류가시신경교차부바로앞쪽에서좌측시신경을압박하고있었다 (Fig. 4). 신경외과로치료를의뢰하였으며뇌동맥류결찰술을받았다. 고찰 단안의비측시야손상은임상에서흔히접할수있는데대부분이반맹은아니며주로안내병변에의해발생한다. 1,6,7 안구이후의원인에의한단안의비측반맹은매우드물며나비뼈날개의수막종, 2 시신경관내수막종, 4 뇌하수체종양, 5 침상돌기주위내경동맥류 1,3 에의한경우가보고된바있다. Cox et al 1 과 Stacy et al 2 의보고에서는본증례와유사하게환자의시력은보존되어있었으나상대동공구심운동장애가동반되어있었다. 시야결손이있는환자에서망막의광범위한이상이없으면서상대동공구심운동장애가있으면기능성시야장애를배제할수있고시신경염, 압박시신경병증, 시신경허혈, 녹내장등의시신경병증을예상할수있다. 8 Levin et al 9 은두개강내종괴에인한압박시신경병증이있었던 3명의환자를대상으로사후에조직학적연구를시행한결과반대편시신경에비해축삭이 1/2-1/3로감소하면상대동공구심운동장애를일으킬수있다는결과를얻었다. 최근 Chew et al 10 과 Tatham et al 11 은빛간섭단층촬영검사에서측정된망막신경섬유층의두께가양안사이에각각 14.6 μm, 20.0 μm 이상차이가있으면상대동공구심운동장애를일으킬수있 다고하였다. 본증례의환자는반복된교대불빛검사에서상대동공구심운동장애를보이지않았는데양안사이의미미한차이를발견하지못했을가능성을완전히배제할수는없으나, 빛간섭단층촬영검사에서양안의망막신경섬유층의두께차이가 13.0 μm인점을고려하면상대동공구심운동장애가실제로없었다고판단된다. 시신경유두함몰비의증가는녹내장의대표적인소견중하나이며이에상응하는비측시야손상이동반된다면더욱녹내장을의심할수있으나, 시신경을압박하는안와나두개내의병변또한시신경유두함몰비의증가를유발할수있다. 12,13 본증례의환자는좌측의시신경유두함몰비가우측보다증가되어있으면서상이측과하이측의망막신경섬유층이반대안보다상대적으로얇았고이위치에상응하는비측시야손상을보였다. 또한중심시력이보존되어있어녹내장을의심할수도있었다. 하지만시야장애의정도가시신경과망막신경섬유층의손상정도보다훨씬더심각했으며불완전하지만수직경선을따르는양상을보여안구뒤쪽의병변을의심할수있었다. 최근빛간섭단층촬영검사를이용하여시행된연구들에의하면녹내장환자에서시야손상이시작되는망막신경섬유층두께의티핑포인트 (tipping point) 는평균두께는 75-89 μm, 상측두께는 83-100 μm, 하측두께는 73-88 μm이다. 14,15 본증례의환자는좌안의망막신경섬유층이우안에비해상대적으로얇았으나티핑포인트에는미치지않았다. 뇌동맥류는내경동맥과척추기저동맥에서주로발생하며아직까지정확한원인은뚜렷하게밝혀지지않았으나동맥벽의변성, 탄력섬유의결손, 고혈압등이영향을미치는것으로알려졌다. 16,17 30대에서 60대사이에호발하며남성보다여성에서 1.5배발생빈도가높다. 18 또한크기에 1409
- 대한안과학회지 2014 년제 55 권제 9 호 - 따라차이가있으나매년 0.05-1% 정도에서파열될가능성이있고, 크기가클수록그위험이더높아지며파열시사망률이 60% 에달한다. 19 뇌동맥류는대개지주막하출혈에의한두통, 구역, 구토, 의식저하나혼수또는동안신경압박에의한눈꺼풀처짐, 복시등의증상으로발현되지만일부에서는파열되지않고서서히자라시각경로를압박함으로써발현되는시력저하와시야결손이환자의첫증상으로나타날수있다. 20 대부분직경이 10 mm 이하이지만 15 mm 이상의대형동맥류도발생할수있으며, 그중에서도직경이 25 mm 이상인거대동맥류는뇌종양과같은압박증상을잘동반한다. 20 본증례에서는지름 22 mm의대형동맥류가좌측침상돌기주변내경동맥에서발생하여시신경교차부바로앞쪽에서좌측시신경의바깥쪽을압박하여좌안의비측반맹을유발하였다. 이부위는시신경교차부에인접해있는특성으로인해내경동맥류의크기와모양에따라다양한정도의시야결손및시력저하의증상을유발할수있으며, 21,22 증례의환자에서내경동맥류가파열되지않고더진행하여시신경교차부를누를정도까지커지면좌안의시력저하와전체시야손상을유발하고우안에도시야결손이나타날수있다. 결론적으로단안의비측시야장애가있는환자에서시력이보존되어있고상대동공구심운동장애나색각이상등의소견이동반되어있지않더라도면밀한안과적검사를시행하여비측시야장애의더흔한원인인안내질환이배제되면뇌경동맥류의초기증상일수있음을주지하여조기에진단할수있어야할것으로생각한다.
