Abstract

Presence of iridescent particles is a well-known clinical condition in phacolytic glaucoma patients with severe high intraocular pressure. Several articles stated that hyperchromatic crystalline deposits were cholesterol crystalline deposits. However, some articles focus on the possible oxalate content of the hyperchromatic crystalline material. Nevertheless, there are few articles which provide information about these crystalline structures at the microscopic level. The purpose of this manuscript was to report the case of a phacolytic glaucoma patient with intense crystalline accumulation in the anterior chamber and to present the microscopic features of these crystalline deposits. (Turk J Ophthalmol 2014; 44: 490-2)

Özet

Ciddi göz içi basınç yükseklikleri ile giden fakolitik glokomlu olgularda iridesan partiküllerin mevcudiyeti iyi bilinmekte olan bir klinik durumdur. Bu hiperkromatik kristallerin kolesterol kristalleri olduğu konusunda çeşitli yayınlar mevcuttur. Fakat bazı yayınlarda bu kristallerin okzalat içerikli olabileceği üzerinde durulmuştur. Ayrıca bu kristallerin yapısını mikroskopik olarak gösteren çok az sayıda yayın mevcuttur. Bu olgu sunumunda amacımız ön kamarada yaygın kristal birikimleri olan fakolitik glokomlu bir olgunun sunulması
