Abstract

Objective: To evaluate treatment outcomes in unilateral childhood cataracts. Material and methods: Records of 21 patients with unilateral congenital or juvenile cataracts who were operated in Gazi University Hospital between 2010 and 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. Anterior capsulotomy, lens aspiration, posterior capsulotomy and anterior vitrectomy were performed. Primary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation was performed in cases older than 1 year of age. Secondary IOL implantation was performed after 2 years of age in those who left aphakic. Visual acuity, intraocular pressure, refraction error, compliance with amblyopia treatment and complications were evaluated. Results: The mean follow-up was 43 (6-108) months. The mean age at the time of surgery was 5 (1-10) months for the 14 cases with congenital onset and 4 (1.5-15) years for the 7 cases with juvenile onset. Six of the 14 patients who left aphakic under one year of age underwent secondary IOL implantation at an average of 35 month. The fi nal VA was 0.64logMAR in the congenital group and 0.19logMAR in the juvenile group (p=0.02). 28.6% of congenital cases were operated in the fi rst 6 weeks of life. Surgery in the fi rst 6 weeks provided better visual outcome than did late surgery (≤6 weeks=0.30logMAR,> 6 weeks=0.77logMAR, p=0.012). The most common complication was deprivation-induced stra- bismus (29%). PCO was not seen in any of the patients. Glaucoma was observed in one case. Conclusion: Good visual results can be obtained with early surgery and effective amblyopia treatment in unilateral childhood cataracts. Families should be well informed, and amblyopia treatment and regular follow-up examinations should be started promptly.

Özet

Amaç: Tek tarafl ı çocukluk çağı kataraktlarında tedavi sonuçlarını değerlendirmek. Gereç ve yöntemler: 2010-2017 yılları arasında Gazi Üniversitesi Hastanesi Göz Hastalıkları kliniğinde, tek tarafl ı konjenital veya juvenil katarakt nedeniyle opere olmuş 21 olgunun kayıtları retrospektif olarak incelendi. Cerrahi yöntem olarak ön kapsülotomi, lens aspirasyonu, arka kapsülotomi ve ön vitrektomi uygulandı. Bir yaşın üzerindeki olgulara primer göz içi lens (GİL) implantasyonu yapıldı. Afak bırakılan olgulardan kontrendikasyon bulunmayanlara 2 yaş ve sonrasında sekonder GİL implantasyonu yapıldı. Görme keskinliği, göz içi basıncı, ref- raksiyon kusuru, şaşılık varlığı, ambliyopi tedavisine uyum ve komplikasyonlar değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Ortanca takip süresi 43 (6-108) ay idi. Konjenital başlangıçlı 14 olgunun ortanca cerrahi yaşı 5 (1-10) ay, juvenil başlangıçlı 7 olgu- nun ortanca cerrahi yaşı 4 (1.5-15) yaş idi. Bir yaşın altında afak bırakılan 14 olgunun 6’sına ortalama 35. ayda sekonder GİL implantasyonu yapıldı. Sonuç görme keskinliği konjenital grupta 0.64 logMAR, juvenil grupta 0.19 logMAR idi (p=0.02). Konjenital olguların %28.6’sı doğum sonrası ilk 6 haftada opere edilmişti. İlk 6 haftada yapılan cerrahi, daha geç dönemde yapılan cerrahiye kıyasla daha iyi görsel sonuçlar sağladı (≤6 hafta = 0.30 logMAR, >6 hafta = 0.77 logMAR, p=0.012). En sık (%29) görülen komplikasyon deprivasyona bağlı şaşılık idi. Hiçbir hastada arka kapsül opasifi kasyonu görülmedi. Pupiller blok gelişen bir hasta dışında glokom izlenmedi. Sonuç: Tek tarafl ı çocukluk çağı kataraktlarında erken cerrahi ve etkin ambliyopi tedavisi ile iyi görsel sonuçlar elde edilebilir. Aileler, cer- rahinin uzun ve emek isteyen bir sürecin başlangıcı olduğu konusunda iyi bilgilendirilmeli, ambliyopi tedavisi ve düzenli kontroller cerrahi sonrası en erken dönemde başlatılmalıdır.
