Abstract

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between visual field (VF), Heidelberg retina tomography (HRT), and scanning laser polarimetry (NFA-GDx) in normal tension glaucoma (NTG) cases. Materials and Methods: The study groups included 32 NTG patients who were followed up at the Glaucoma Section of ……, Department of Ophthalmology between April 2005 and December 2007. Medical history was taken from all participants, and, after a complete ophthalmological examination, visual fiel d tests, an optic nerve head examination with HRT-I, and a retinal nerve fiber layer examination with NFA-GDx were performed. Right eyes were used for comparisons. Results: There was a positive statistically significant correlation between DA, CA, C/D area ratio, and mean deviation (MD). A positive significant correlation was determined between C/D area ratio, MCD, and pattern standard deviation (PSD). Symmetry and the number were significantly correlated with MD positively. Inferior ratio, superior/nasal, maximum modulation, and ellipse modulation were significantly correlated with MD negatively. It was seen that there was a positive significant relationship between PSD and symmetry and the number. Inferior ratio, superior/nasal and maximum modulation were negatively correlated with PSD. Conclusions: Studies performed with VF, HRT, and NFA-GDx for diagnosis and evaluation of progression in glaucoma disease are ongoing. It is important to determine the correlation between structural and functional changes for an early diagnosis. To date, these three tests have been using to complement each other.

Özet

Amaç: Normal basınçlı glokom (NBG) olgularında görme alanı (GA), Heidelberg retina tomografi (HRT) ve tarayıcı laser polarimetre (NFA-GDx) testleri arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmak. Gereç ve Yöntem: Ankara Üniversitesi Göz Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalı Glokom Biriminde Nisan 2005 ile Aralık 2007 tarihleri arasında tanı konan ve takip edilen 32 NBG olgusu çalışmaya alındı. Tüm olgulardan anamnez alındı ve tam oftalmolojik muayene sonrasında GA testi, HRT-I ile optik sinir başı incelemesi ve NFA-GDx ile retina sinir lifi tabakası incelemesi yapıldı. Çalışmada, istatistiksel değerlendirme için sağ göz verileri kullanıldı. Bulgular: Ortalama sapma (MD) ile HRT parametrelerinden disk alanı, çukurluk alanı ve çukurluk/disk alanı oranı parametreleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı pozitif korelasyon bulundu. Patern standart sapma (PSD) parametresi ile çukurluk/disk alanı oranı ve ortalama çukurluk derinliği parametreleri arasında anlamlı pozitif yönlü bir ilişki tespit edildi. MD ile NFA-GDx parametrelerinden simetri ve sayı arasında pozitif, inferior oran, süperior/nasal, maksimum modülasyon ve elips modülasyon ile istatistiksel olarak anlamlı negatif korelasyon bulundu. PSD ile simetri ve sayı arasında pozitif yönlü, inferior oran, süperior/nasal ve maksimum modülasyon arasında negatif yönlü ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu görüldü. Sonuç: Glokom hastalığının tanısını koymak ve ilerlemesini değerlendirmek için GA, HRT, NFA-GDx ile yapılan çalışmalar halen devam etmektedir. Yapısal değişiklikler ile fonksiyonel değişiklikler arasındaki korelasyonun belirlenmesi erken tanı için çok önemlidir. Günümüzde bu üç test, birbirini tamamlayıcı olarak kullanılmaktadır.
