Abstract

Purpose: To present clinical features and surgical outcomes in patients with pediatric cataract.Materials and Methods: Demographic characteristic, clinical findings and postoperative data of 76 eyes of 47 patients were retrospectively reviewived.Results: 26 patients (55.3%) were male and 21 were female (44.7%) (p>0.05). Ten patients (21.3%) had associated systemic diseases (1 Down syndrome, 2 cerebral palsy, 1 prematurity, 2 galactozemia, 2 congenital rubella, 1 spinal muscular atrophy and 1 Axenfeld syndrome). Cataract was bilateral in 28 patients (59.6%). The mean age at admission was 18.1 months and the mean age at surgery was 20.3 months . The mean follow up was 91.2 months . While 17 eyes (22.4%) ended up aphakic, 59 eyes (77.6%) ended up pseudophakic. There was not any significant difference in mean visual acuity between aphakic (Snellen 0.43±0.2) and pseudophakic eyes (Snellen 0.53±0.3) (p=0.36). Unfavorable visual outcome (Snellen <=0.1) was noted in 12 eyes (15.8%). Early and late complications were as follows; one eye needed intraocular lens exchange for refractive reason, one eye developed bullous keratopathy, and 15 eyes (19.7%) developed glaucoma. Fourteen of the glaucoma patients were aphakic and 2 of them had filtrating glaucoma surgery.Conclusion: Cataract surgery in pediatric cases resulted in favorable visual outcomes with low short and long term complications. The high frequency of associated systemic abnormalities found in this study indicates the importance of systemic examination in children diagnosed with cataract.

Özet

Amaç: Pediatrik kataraktlı hastalarımızın klinik özelliklerini ve cerrahi sonuçlarını sunmak.Gereç ve Yöntemler: 47 hastanın 76 gözüne ait demografik, klinik muayene ve ameliyat sonrası takip verileri geriye dönük olarak incelendi.Bulgular: Hastaların 26'sı erkek (%55.3), 21'i kız çocuğu idi (%44.7) (p>0.05). On hastada (%21.3) sistemik hastalık birlikteliği tespit edildi (1 Down sendromu, 2 serebral palsi, 1 prematürite, 2 galaktozemi, 2 konjenital rubella, 1 spinal muskuler atrofi ve 1 Axenfeld sendromu). Yirmi sekiz hastada (%59.6) bilateral katarakt mevcuttu. Başvuru esnasında ortalama yaş 18.1 ay ve cerrahi zamanlaması ortalama 20.3 aydı . Takip süresi ortalama 91.2 aydı . On yedi göz (%22.4) afak kalırken, 59 göz (%77.6) psödofakik olarak takip edildi. Postoperatif dönemde ortalama görme keskinliği açısından afak (Snellen 0.43±0.2) ve psödofak (Snellen 0.53±0.3) gözler arasında anlamlı bir fark tespit edilmedi (p=0.36). On iki gözde (%15.8) istenmeyen görsel sonuç (Snellen <=0.1) elde edildi. Erken ve geç komplikasyon olarak; 1 gözde refraktif nedenlere bağlı intraoküler lens değişimi gereksinimi, 1 gözde büllöz keratopati ve 15 gözde (%19.7) glokom geliştiği tespit edildi. Glokom gelişen gözlerin 14 tanesi afaktı ve 2'sine filtran glokom cerrahisi uygulandı.Sonuç: Pediatrik katarakt cerrahisi hastalarımızda kısa ve uzun dönemde düşük komplikasyon oranlarıyla birlikte olumlu görsel sonuçlar sağlanmıştır. Çalışmamızda yüksek oranda saptanan sistemik hastalık birlikteliği katarakt tanısı konulan çocuklarda sistemik araştırmanın önemini göstermektedir.
