In our study, we described a patient with decreased retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and thought normotensive glaucoma as the most probable diagnosis, who also had multiple systemic diseases.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:A decrease in retinal nerve fiber layer thickness can be secondary to glaucoma, several neurologic diseases, optic nerve diseases other than glaucoma, retinal diseases, toxic, nutritional or vascular causes such as shock optic neuropathy.
📊
Key Findings & Data:Glaucoma, which is among the commonest causes of blindness worldwide, is a progressive optic neuropathy characterized by a decrease in retinal nerve fiber layer thickness secondary to retinal ganglion cell death, cupping of optic nerve head and visual field loss.

Abstract

A decrease in retinal nerve fiber layer thickness can be secondary to glaucoma, several neurologic diseases, optic nerve diseases other than glaucoma, retinal diseases, toxic, nutritional or vascular causes such as shock optic neuropathy. Glaucoma, which is among the commonest causes of blindness worldwide, is a progressive optic neuropathy characterized by a decrease in retinal nerve fiber layer thickness secondary to retinal ganglion cell death, cupping of optic nerve head and visual field loss. Although the best known risk factor associated with glaucoma is high intraocular pressure, it is thought that systemic vascular disorders, which are among the risk factors of glaucoma, play role especially in the pathogenesis of normotensive glaucoma where intraocular pressure is low. In our study, we described a patient with decreased retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and thought normotensive glaucoma as the most probable diagnosis, who also had multiple systemic diseases.

Özet

Retina sinir lifi tabakasındaki incelme başta glokom olmak üzere, çeşitli nörolojik hastalıklar, optik sinirin glokom dışı bozuklukları, retina hastalıkları, toksik, nutrisyonel veya şok optik nöropatisi gibi vasküler nedenlere bağlı gelişebilir. Dünyadaki en sık körlük nedenlerinden biri olan glokom, retina ganglion hücre ölümüne bağlı olarak retina sinir lifi tabakasında incelme, optik sinir başında çukurlaşma ve görme alanı kaybı ile karakterize ilerleyici bir optik nöropatidir. Glokomla ilişkisi en iyi bilinen risk faktörü yüksek göz içi basıncı olmasına rağmen glokom risk faktörleri arasında yer alan sistemik vasküler bozuklukların özellikle göz içi basıncın düşük seyrettiği normotansif glokomun patogenezinde rol oynadığı düşünülmektedir. Çalışmamızda birçok sistemik hastalıkla beraber retina sinir lifi tabakasında incelme olan ve en olası tanı olarak normotansif glokom düşündüğümüz bir olguyu tarif ettik.
