Abstract

Normal tension glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy characterized by glaucomatous optic nerve cupping and visual field defects yet with measured intraocular pressure (IOP) levels within the normal range. The purpose of these two case reports is to emphasize the clinical characteristics and differential diagnostic considerations. The first case discusses the clinical features of a normal tension glaucoma case with normal cranial imaging findings. The second case highlights the association of a compressive intracranial mass causing asymmetric disc cupping and normal IOP readings. The differential diagnosis of this case is discussed.

Özet

Normal basınçlı glokom, optik disk çukurlaşması ve görme alanı kaybı özellikleriyle primer açık açılı glokoma benzerlik gösteren ancak göz içi basınç (GİB) değerleri itibariyle normal olarak kabul edilen sınırların dışına çıkmayan ilerleyici bir optik nöropatidir. Bu yazının amacı, normal basınçlı glokomun klinik özelliklerini ve ayırıcı tanısını iki olgu ile özetlemektir. Birinci olgu, çukur/disk oranı ve görme alanı bulguları glokomla uyumlu olan GİB takipleri normal sınırlarda giden, kranial manyetik rezonans görüntüleme bulguları doğal olan normotansif glokom olgusunun özelliklerini vurgulamaktadır. İkinci olgu sunumunda asimetrik olarak artmış çukur/disk oranı ve normal GİB değerleri ile başvuran ve görüntüleme yöntemleri ile optik sinir basısı yapan intrakranial kitle saptanan bir olgu ayırıcı tanı özellikleri ile tartışılmaktadır.
