Abstract

Purpose: To investigate the efficacy of diode laser cyclophotocoagulation on refractory glaucoma after penetrating keratoplasty. Materials and Methods: 18 eyes of 16 patients with refractory glaucoma following penetrating keratoplasty who underwent diode laser photocoagulation were evaluated retrospectively. Patients with less than 1 year follow-up were excluded. All patients received 18-20 applications for 2 seconds over 270° under local or general anesthesia. The intraocular pressure (IOP) differences, visual acuity, graft status and complications were recorded. Results: Of 16 patients, 8 were female and 8 were male. The mean age was 40.89±19.75 (9-90 years). The mean follow-up period was 46.72±28.81 months. At the final examination IOPs between 6 and 21 mmHg were achieved in 16 (88.8%) eyes. Mean IOP decreased from 29.8 mmHg to 15.4 mmHg. More than one treatment was needed in 6 (33.3%) eyes. Phthisis bulbi did not develop in any patients. Conclusions: Secondary glaucoma is a severe vision-threatening complication for patients with penetrating keratoplasty. Diode laser cyclophotocoagulation is a useful and safe treatment modality for refractory glaucoma following penetrating keratoplasty but multiple treatments were required in some cases.

Özet

Amaç: Penetran keratoplasti sonrası dirençli glokom gelişen olgularda diod lazer siklofotokoagülasyon etkinliğini değerlendirmek. Gereç ve Yöntem: Penetran keratoplasti sonrası dirençli glokom nedeniyle diod lazer siklofotokoagülasyon uygulanan 16 hastanın 18 gözü retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Bir yıldan kısa takip süresi olanlar çalışmaya dahil edilmedi.Tüm hastalara lokal veya genel anestezi altında 270° 2sn’lik 18-20 aplikasyon yapıldı. Göz içi basıncı (GİB) değişiklikleri, görme keskinlikleri, grefon durumları ve komplikasyonlar incelendi. Bulgular: Onaltı hastanın 8’i erkek, 8’si kadındı. Ortalama yaş 40.89±19.75 (9-90 yaş). Takip süresi ortalama 46.72±28.81 aydı. Son kontrolde 16 (88.8%) hastanın GİB 6 ile 21 mmHg arasında değişmekteydi. Ortalama GİB 29.8 mmHg’den 15.4 mmHg’ye düştü. Altı gözde (%33.3) birden fazla sayıda tedavi gerekli oldu. Hiçbir hastada ftizis bulbi görülmedi. Sonuç: Penetran keratoplasti sonrası sekonder glokom görmeyi tehdit eden bir komplikasyondur. Diod lazer siklofotokoagülasyon penetran keratoplasti sonrası gelişen dirençli glokomda etkili ve güvenilir bir yöntemdir. Yalnız bazı hastalarda birden fazla sayıda uygulama gerekebilir.
