Abstract

Keratoglobus is a rare disease characterized by diffuse corneal thinning. It is often congenital, however it can also appear after birth. In keratoglobus, the entire cornea is thinned most markedly in the midperiphery of the cornea. It is known that corneal thickness affects the measurement of intraocular pressure by Goldmann applanation tonometry. For this reason, measurement of corneal thickness is important in clinical evaluation of glaucoma. In this case report, we aimed to present 2 keratoglobus patients with the light of the recent data in literature.

Özet

Keratoglobus diffüz korneal incelme ile kendini gösteren nadir bir hastalıktır. Genellikle konjenitaldir ancak edinsel olarak da kendini gösterebilir. Keratoglobusta özellikle kornea midperiferinde belirgin olmak üzere bütün kornea incelmiştir. Kornea kalınlığının Goldmann applanasyon tonometresi ile göz içi basıncı olçümünü etkilediği bilinmektedir. Bu nedenle kornea kalınlığının ölçülmesi glokomun klinik olarak değerlendirilmesinde oldukça önemlidir. Bu olgu sunumumuzda keratoglobus tespit ettiğimiz iki hastamızı literatürdeki güncel bilgiler eşliğinde sunmayı amaçladık.
