Abstract

The cup reversal after pressure reduction following glaucoma surgery is a well described phenomenon especially in congenital and infantil glaucoma. But it is not common that the cup reversal occurs upon decrease in IOP by medical treatment in adult glaucomatous patients. In this report, we describe a young adult patient with advanced glaucoma who develops a cup reversal after medical treatment. The optic disc changes were shown by imaging techniques such as fundus photography, HRT II and OCT. Although these imaging modalities are promising techniques for the future, currently, they may lead misdiagnosis.

Özet

Konjenital ve infantil glokom olgularında glokom cerrahisini takiben göziçi basıncı (GİB) düşürülmesinin ardından optik disk değişikliklerinin geliştiği bilinmektedir. Ancak erişkin hastalarda tıbbi tedavi ile GİB düşürülmesini takiben disk çukurlaşmasında belirgin değişimler ile ilgili olgu sayısı oldukça azdır. Bu olgu sunumumuzda ileri glokomlu, genç erişkin bir hastada tıbbi tedavinin hemen sonrasında akut ve geniş ölçekte gelişen optik disk değişiklikleri yer alacaktır. Optik disk değişiklikleri fundus fotografisi, Heidelberg Retinal Tomografi (HRT-II) ve Optik koherans tomografi (OKT) ile görüntülenmiştir.Bu görüntüleme teknikleri gelecek vaadetmekle beraber günümüzde yanıltıcı sonuçlar verebilmektedirler.
