Abstract

Intraocular pressure may increase with topical steroid usage in some people, and this is called ‘steroid-induced glaucoma'. There is a consensus that the elevation in intraocular pressure results from increased resistance to the aqueous outflow. Diagnosis is not difficult because of evident signs and symptoms of the patients, but rarely the diagnosis may be underestimated, as in the present case. Steroid-induced glaucoma in a 25-year-old man who was unaware of his illness is presented herein.

Özet

Bazı insanlarda kronik topikal steroid kullanımına bağlı göz içi basıncı yükselebilir ve buna ‘steroide bağlı glokom' adı verilir. GİB'ndaki bu yükselmenin, aköz dışa akımına karşı direncin artmasından kaynaklandığı konusunda fikir birliği vardır. Hastaların genellikle belirgin şikayet ve bulgulara sahip olması tanı ve teşhisi kolaylaştırırken, nadiren, bu olguda olduğu gibi belirgin olmayabilir. Bu çalışmada steroidin yol açtığı glokomu olan ama bunun farkında olmayan 25 yaşında bir erkek hasta sunulmuştur.
