Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate intraocular pressure measurements and ocular axial length as a risk factor in retinal vein occlusion. Materials and Methods: 120 patients with retinal vein occlusion enrolled in the study. Ocular axial lengths were mea- sured by A-scan ultrasonography. Axial lengths of affected, contralateral unaffected eyes and control groups were compared. We evaluated the age, sex, type of occlusion, value of intraocular pressure and systemic diseases predisposing to retinal vein occlusion. Results: Fifty-seven patients were female, 63 patients were male and the mean age was 61.9±9.4 years. Elevation of in- traocular pressure was observed in 15 eyes (30.6%) of 49 patients with central retinal vein occlusion and in 7 eyes (9.9%) of 71 patients with branch retinal vein occlusion. In patients with retinal vein occlusion the mean axial length of affected eyes was 22.2±0.9 mm and of unaffected eyes was 22.6±0.9 mm. The mean axial length of control group was 22.8±0.9 mm. Statistically significant difference between retinal vein occlusion and control group was detected. Conclusion: Short axial length is an important risk factor for development of retinal vein occlusion. Elevation of intraocu- lar pressure is often observed in these patients. It is important to exclude systemic risk factors and glaucoma in the fellow eye of any patient with retinal vein occlusion to reduce the risk of that eye developing retinal vein occlusion and glaucoma- tous damage.

Özet

Amaç: Retina ven tıkanıklığı olgularında risk etkenlerinden, göz içi basınç bulgularını ve aksiyel uzunluğun etkisini araş- tırmak. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya retina ven tıkanıklığı tanısı olan 120 olgu dahil edildi. A-scan ultrasonografi ile aksiyel uzunluk ölçümleri yapıldı. Olguların hasta gözleriyle sağlam gözlerinin aksiyel uzunlukları ve kontrol grubunun aksiyel uzunlukları karşılaştırıldı. Çalışmamızda olguların yaşı, cinsiyeti, retina ven tıkanıklığının tipi, göz içi basınç değeri, eşlik eden sistemik hastalıklar değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Olguların 57’si kadın, 63’ü erkek olup yaş ortalaması 61.9±9.4 yıl idi. Santral retinal ven tıkanıklığı olan 49 olgunun 15‘inde (%30.6), retina ven dal tıkanıklığı olan 71 olgunun 7‘sinde (%9.9) göz içi basınç yüksekliği mevcuttu. Olgu- ların retina ven tıkanıklığı geçiren gözlerinde ortalama aksiyel uzunluk değeri22.2±0.9 mm iken diğer gözlerinde ortalama 22.6±0.9 mm olarak ölçüldü. Kontrol grubunun ortalama aksiyel uzunluk değeri 22.8±0.9 mm olup hasta gözler ile kontrol grubu arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı idi (p<0.0001). Sonuç: Kısa aksiyel uzunluk retina ven tıkanıklık gelişiminde önemli bir risk faktörüdür. Göz içi basınç yüksekliği bu olgularda sıklıkla izlenmektedir. Tek taraflı retina ven tıkanıklığı olan olgularda sistemik ve oküler risk etkenlerinin araş- tırılması ven tıkanıklığı gelişimini ve glokoma bağlı hasarı önlemek için önemlidir.
