Abstract

Primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) is more common in some geographic regions and is responsible for a significant proportion of blindness due to glaucoma. These patients constitute a significant portion of the glaucoma clinics in our country. Visual prognosis is poor when early diagnosis is not performed. In terms of community health; early diagnosis, treatment and follow-up are of great importance in this respect. In this presentation, current information about PACG will be thoroughly examined in terms of pathophysiology, diagnostic features, risk factors and clinical findings.

Özet

Primer açı kapanması glokomu (PAKG), bazı coğrafi bölgelerde daha sık görülmekte olup, glokoma bağlı körlüklerin önemli bir kısmından sorumludur. Ülkemizde de glokom kliniklerinin önemli bir bölümünü bu hastalar oluşturmaktadır. Erken tanı konarak tedavi uygulanmadığında görsel prognozu oldukça kötüdür. Bu bakımdan da toplum sağlığı açısından erken teşhis, tedavi ve sonrasında takip büyük önem taşımaktadır.Bu sunumda PAKG güncel bilgiler ışığında patofizyolojisi, tanı özellikleri, risk faktörleri ve kliniği açısından etraflıca incelenecektir.
