Abstract

Purpose: Acute glaucoma crisis is an important disorder that must be correctly diagnosed and managed quickly and effectively to prevent visual loss. The misdiagnosis leads to a delay in treatment which can permanently loss of visual function. In this study, we evaluated the etiologic factors and the results of treatment in patients who had acute glaucoma crisis . Material and Methods: The records of 67 patients with acute glaucoma crisis who had been hospitalized , were reviewed retrospectively. Results: Of the 71 eyes of 67 patients, 13 eyes had acute primary angle closure glaucoma, 32 eyes had secondary angle clousure glaucoma, 20 eyes had secondary open angle glaucoma and 6 eyes had primary open angle glaucoma. The mean intraocular pressure(IOP) was 43.7± 7.7 mmHg, the mean posttreatment IOP was13.26±4.7mmHg. IOP was controlled by surgical treatment in 48 eyes and by medical treatment in 23 eyes. The mean follow-up time was 12.8±11.9 months. According to last examination findings, legal blindness was found in 64% of cases. Conclusion: The methods for the treatment of acute glaucoma crisis varies depending on the etiologic factors. The underlying factors of the glaucoma crisis should be determined precisely before the treatment.

Özet

Amaç: Akut glokom krizi, görme kaybını önlemek için doğru tanı, hızlı ve etkili tedavi gerektiren önemli bir hastalıktır. Yanlış tanı tedavinin gecikmesine ve görme işlevinde kalıcı hasarlara yol açabilir. Biz bu çalışmada akut glokom krizi olan hastalarda etyolojik faktörleri ve uygulanan tedavi sonuçlarını araştırdık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Akut glokom krizi nedeniyle hastaneye yatırılan 67 hastanın kayıtları geriye dönük olarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: 67 hastanın 71 gözü değerlendirildiğinde 13 olguda akut primer açı kapanması glokomu, 32 olguda akut sekonder açı kapanması glokomu, 20 olguda sekonder açık açılı glokom ve 6 olguda primer açık açılı glokom tesbit edildi. Ortalama göziçi basıncı 43.7±7.7 mmHg, tedavi sonrası 13.26±4.7 mmHg (ilaçlı ve ilaçsız olarak) idi. Bu olguların 48 inde cerrahi tedavi, 23 ünde yalnız medikal tedavi uygulandığı saptandı. Tedavi sonrası takip süresi 12.8±11.9 ay idi. En son yapılan muayene bulgularına göre, yasal körlük oranı %64 bulundu. Sonuç: Akut glokom krizlerinde uygulanan tedavi yöntemi etyolojik etmenlere bağlı olarak değişir. Bu nedenle tedavi öncesi, öncelikle glokom krizinin altında yatan nedeni belirlemek gereklidir.
