Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the prevelance of cataract associated with type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and determine disease-related variables effect on cataract development in young children. Material and Method: Two hundred thirty five children diagnosed as type 1 DM before 18 years old, were examined retrospectively. The gender, duration of disease, pubertal status, fasting blood gluocose (FBG), hemoglobinA1c (HbA1c) values, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) during follow-up period, type of cataract, presence of retinopathy, surgical method, associated systemic diseases, postoperative complications were noted. Results: The prevelance of cataract was 3.4%. The time between diagnosis of diabetes and cataract was 8.0±4.5, the mean age at cataract diagnosis was 14.5±2, and the mean duration of diabetes was 7.3±3.3 in patients with cataract, and 5.4±3.3 years without cataract. The average HbA1c value within the last year of the cataract diagnosis was 8.6±2.1% and 8.0±1.9% in patients with and without cataract respectively. Three patients with cataract had DKA. Two patients (3 eyes) had significant decrease in visual acuity and cataract surgery was performed. None of the patients had retinopathy after surgery. One patient needed a YAG-laser capsulotomy. Conclusion: Cataract is a rare complication of type 1 DM. Compared to patients without cataract, the duration of disease was longer, HbA1c values were higher and metabolic control was not sufficient in patients with cataract.

Özet

Amaç: Tip 1 Diabetes Mellitus’lu (DM) çocuklarda gelişen katarakt sıklığının araştırılması, katarakt gelişimi üzerine hastalığa ait parametrelerinin etkisinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 18 yaş altı Tip1 DM’lu 235 hasta, geriye dönük olarak dahil edildi. Hastaların cinsiyeti, yaşı, hastalık süresi, puberte durumu, açlık kan şekeri (AKŞ), hemoglobin A1c değerleri(HbA1c), diyabetik ketoasidoz (DKA), katarakt tipi, retinopati, cerrahiye duyulan ihtiyaç, ek sistemik hastalıklar, cerrahi sonrası gelişen komplikasyonlar değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Katarakt gelişim oranı %3,4 (8 olgu) idi. Diyabet ile katarakt tanısı arasındaki süre 8,0± 4,5, kataraktın ortaya çıkış yaş ortalaması 14,5±2,0 yıl idi. Kataraktlı hastalarda ortalama diyabet süresi 7,3±3,3, kataraktı olmayanlarda 5,4±3,3 yıl idi. Kataraktlı olgularda son bir yıl içerisindeki HbA1c ortalama değeri %8,6±2,1, kataraktı olmayanlarda %8,0±1,9 idi. Üç olgumuzda DKA gelişmişti. 2 hastanın 3 gözüne görme keskinliğindeki belirgin azalma nedeni ile katarakt cerrahisi uygulandı. Cerrahi sonrası hastalarımızda diyabetik retinopati gelişimi gözlemlenmedi. Bir göze YAG lazer kapsülotomi yapıldı. Sonuç: Tip 1 DM’da katarakt gelişimi az görülmektedir. Kataraktı olanlarda, olmayanlara göre hastalık süresi daha uzun idi. Kataraktlı olguların HbA1c değerinin daha yüksek ve metabolik kontrollerinin yeterli olmadığı gözlendi.
