Abstract

Purpose: To compare of the optic nerve head topographic parameters between patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and an age- and sex-matched control group, by using Heidelberg retinal tomography (HRT) III. Materials and Methods: Optic disc topography analysis was done in 15 eyes of 15 patients with RA and 15 eyes of age- and sex-matched control subjects by HRT III. Differences between the groups were analysed statistically with the Mann-Whitney U test. Results: The mean age of the 15 nonglaucomatous RA patients (6 male, 9 female) was 53.8±9.6 and that of the 15 normal subjects (6 male, 9 female) was 53.7±8.5. No statistically significant differences were found in cup volume (p=0.5813), cup area (p=0.6295), rim area (p=0.6384), rim volume (p=0.8183), disc area (p=0.4764), mean cup to disc ratio (p=0.9632), mean cup depth (p=0.7650), or mean retinal nerve fiber layer (p=0.8530) thickness of eyes between the two groups. Conclusion: The optic disc topography parameters of nonglaucomatous RA patients have similar properties with sexand age-matched healthy subjects.

Özet

Amaç: Romatoid Artrit (RA) olgularının Heidelberg retinal tomografi (HRT) III ile ölçülen optik sinir başı topografi bulgularının, yaş ve cinsiyet uyumlu sağlıklı bireylerle kıyaslanması amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntem: On beş RA olgusunun 15 gözü ile 15 sağlıklı bireyin 15 gözüne HRT III ile optik disk topografi analizleri yapıldı. Gruplar arası farklılıklar Mann Whitney U test kullanılarak istatistiksel olarak analiz edildi. Bulgular: Glokom hastalığı olmayan 15 RA olgusunun (6 erkek, 9 kadın) yaş ortalaması 53.8±9.6 ve 15 sağlıklı bireyin (6 erkek, 9 kadın) yaş ortalaması 53.7±8.5 olarak bulundu. Her iki grup arasında çukurluk hacmi (p=0.5813), çukurluk alanı (p=0.6295), rim alanı (p=0.6384), rim hacmi (p=0.8183), disk alanı (p=0.4764), ortalama çukurluk/disk oranı (p=0.9632), ortalama çukurluk derinliği (p=0.7650) ve ortalama retinal sinir lifi kalınlığı (p=0.8530) açısından, istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklara rastlanmadı. Tartışma: Glokomu olmayan RA olgularının optik disk topografi parametreleri, yaş ve cinsiyet uyumlu normal bireylerle benzer özellikler taşımaktadır.
