Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the surgical approach and short term outcomes of the pediatric cataract surgery in our clinic. Materials and Methods: We analyzed the clinical features, surgical technique and complications of pediatric cataract patients records retrospectively who underwent surgery between January 2005 and August 2007 in our clinic. Results: Sixty two eyes of 39 patients were enrolled in the study. Cataract was unilateral in 16 and bilateral in 23 patients. Patients were grouped according to age as group1 (younger than 24 months old, 28 eyes), group 2 (24-60 months old, 10 eyes) and group 3 (older than 60 months old, 24 eyes). Lens aspiration with posterior capsulotomy and anterior vitrectomy was performed in all eyes in group 1 and 2, and in 10 eyes in group 3. Foldable hydrofobic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) was primarily implanted in all eyes older than 24 months (total 34 eyes). Silicone contact lens for unilateral and spectacles for bilateral aphakic patients (group 1) were prescribed. During the follow up of 12.5±6.8 months (6-26 mo.), posterior capsule opacification (6.4%), secondary membrane formation (9.6%), pupillary irregularity (6.4%), IOL decentralisation (4.8%) and glaucoma (1.6%) was detected as postoperative complications. In patients who were available to visual acuity testing, best corrected visual acuity was improved significantly. Conclusıon: Pediatric cataract surgery can frequently be complicated. We think advances in surgical technique, IOL features and aphakic rehabilitation methods will improve both short and long term functional and technical outcomes.

Özet

Amaç: Yetişkin kataraktlarından farklılıklar gösteren pediatrik kataraktlara kliniğimizdeki cerrahi yaklaşımların tartışılması ve hastaların kısa dönemdeki fonksiyonel sonuçlarının ve komplikasyonların değerlendirilmesi. Gereç ve Yöntem: Ocak 2005- Ağustos 2007 tarihleri arasında kliniğimizde pediatrik katarakt nedeniyle cerrahi geçiren hastalar klinik özellikleri, uygulanan cerrahi teknik ve komplikasyonlar açısından retrospektif olarak incelendi. Bulgular: Otuz dokuz hastanın 62 gözü çalışma kapsamına alındı. Katarakt, hastaların 16’sında tek taraflı, 23’ünde ise çift taraflıydı. Hastalar yaşlarına göre 24 aydan küçük (grup 1, 28 göz), 24-60 ay (grup 2, 10 göz) ve 60 aydan büyük (grup 3, 24 göz) olmak üzere 3 gruba ayrıldı. Lens aspirasyonu ile birlikte arka kapsülotomi- ön vitrektomi grup 1 ve grup 2’deki tüm gözlere, grup 3’te ise 10 göze uygulandı. Katlanabilir hidrofobik akrilik göz içi lensi (GİL) 24 aylıktan büyük olan tüm gözlere (toplam 34 göz) primer olarak yerleştirildi. Grup 1’deki tek taraflı afak hastalara silikon kontakt lens, çift taraflı afak hastalara da gözlük reçete edildi. Hastaların takip süresi 12.5±6.8 ay (6-26 ay) idi ve bu sürede cerrahi sonrası komplikasyon olarak arka kapsül opaklaşması %6.4, ikincil membran oluşumu %9.6, düzensiz pupil %6.4, GİL desantralizasyonu %4.8, glokom %1.6 oranında görüldü. Görme keskinliği değerlendirilebilen hastalarımızın tümünde en iyi düzeltilmiş görme keskinliğinde belirgin artış sağlandı. Sonuç: Pediatrik katarakt cerrahisi komplikasyonlarla sık karşılaşılan bir cerrahidir. Ancak son yıllarda cerrahi teknikteki, GİL özellikleri ve afaki rehabilitasyonundaki gelişmeler ile kısa ve uzun dönemdeki fonksiyonel ve teknik sonuçların olumlu yönde etkileneceğini düşünmekteyiz.
