Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the morphologic properties of cornea guttata by slit scanning confocal microscopy. Material and Method: Cornea examination of four patients (n=7 eyes) with cornea guttata were performed with non-contact specular microscopy (Topcon SP 2000 P, Tokyo, Japan) and in vivo slit scanning confocal microscopy (Confoscan 2.0, NIDEK Co. Ltd., Osaka, Japan). Results: Specular microscopy revealed cornea guttata as dark bodies between normal or hyperreflective, compressed endothelial cells. They were observed as hyporeflective images with a central hyperreflective point in some of the images by slit scanning confocal microscopy. It was also possible to observe morphologic changes in Descemet's membrane as endothelial protuberances and in posterior stroma as dark bands by confocal microscopy. Conclusion: Confocal microscopy is a useful tool for diagnosis and follow-up of patients with cornea guttata.

Özet

Amaç: Kesit-tarayıcı konfokal mikroskop ile kornea guttatanın morfolojik özelliklerinin değerlendirilmesi. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kornea guttatalı 4 hastanın (n=7 göz) kornea muayenesi temassız speküler mikroskop (Topcon SP 2000 P, Tokyo, Japan) ve in vivo kesit-tarayıcı konfokal mikroskop (Confoscan 2.0, NIDEK Co. Ltd., Osaka, Japan) ile yapıldı. Bulgular: Speküler mikroskop ile kornea guttata normal veya yüksek yansımalı, sıkışmış endotel hücreleri arasında düşük yansımalı cisimler olarak görüldü. Kesit tarayıcı konfokal mikroskopla alınan görüntülerin bir kısmında merkezi yüksek yansımalı, çevresi düşük yansımalı görüntüler olarak izlendi. Konfokal mikroskopla, Descemet membranında ve arka stromada koyu bandlar tipinde morfolojik değişiklikleri izlemek mümkün oldu. Sonuç: Konfokal mikroskop kornea guttatalı olguların tanı ve takibinde yararlı bir yöntemdir.
