ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Pseudoexfoliation syndrome is more frequent in people aged >50 yeears, and its prevalence increases with age. Few reports have described cases in younger patients, all with a history of ocular surgery, especially iris resection. Herein, we describe the case of a 27-year old man with bilateral advanced glaucoma and pseudoexfoliation material in OS. He had undergone cataract surgeries OU and a penetrating keratoplasty OD during childhood. Currently, he presented with an intraocular pressure of 40 mmHg OU. The OS showed a white flaky material in the pupillary rim and anterior capsule and a Sampaolesi line as a gonioscopic finding. Trabeculectomy was performed OU, and intraocular pressure control was achieved. Unlike other previously reported cases, this patient did not present any apparent iris manipulation in the affected eye. However, he did undergo an iridectomy in the contralateral eye. This is also the first case to be accompanied by bilateral glaucoma at the time of detection of the pseudoexfoliation material.(AU)


RESUMO A síndrome de pseudoesfoliação é mais frequente em pessoas com mais de 50 anos e sua prevalência aumenta com a idade. Poucos relatos descrevem casos em pacientes mais jovens, todos com história de cirurgia ocular, especialmente ressecção da íris. Descrevemos o caso de um homem de 27 anos com glaucoma bilateral avançado e material de pseudoesfoliação no OE. O paciente foi submetido a cirurgias de catarata em AO e a uma ceratoplastia penetrante no OD durante a infância. Atualmente, ele apresentou PIOs de 40 mmHg em AO. O OE apresentou material escamoso branco na borda pupilar e cápsula anterior, e linha Sampaolesi como achado gonioscópico. A trabeculectomia foi realizada em AO e obteve-se o controle da pressão intraocular. Diferentemente de outros casos relatados, o paciente não apresentou qualquer manipulação aparente da íris no olho afetado. No entanto, ele foi submetido a uma iridectomia no olho contralateral. Além disso, este é o primeiro caso a ser acompanhado de glaucoma bilateral no momento da detecção do material de pseudoesfoliação.(AU)

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Purpose: To assess the relationship between pseudoexfoliation syndrome and incidence of complications and related clinical factors in patients undergoing cataract surgery. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 503 of 551 patients who underwent phacoemulsification surgery over 2 years in a health care district in Northwest Spain. In total, 120 of 681 eyes undergoing the procedure had pseudoexfoliation syndrome. Data on the surgical procedure and associated complications were extracted from the medical record. Complications included any combination of posterior capsular rupture, vitreous loss, zonular dialysis, and nuclear or lens luxation. Results: We found a significant association between pseudoexfoliation syndrome and zonular dialysis (odds ratio [OR], 6.89; 95% CI, 2.27-20.93), intraoperative miosis (OR, 2.15; 95% CI, 1.10-4.22), and lens luxation >1.5 mm (OR, 9.49; 95% CI, 0.85-105.54). However, when adjusting for the overall risk of complications in pseudoexfoliation syndrome patients in consideration of myopia, use of anticoagulants or α-agonists, previous mydriasis, and anterior chamber length, the OR decreased to 1.02 (95% CI, 0.47-2.21) and was therefore not significant. Conclusion: Zonular dialysis and intraoperative miosis were intraoperative complications in cataract surgery patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome when compared to controls.


RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar a relação entre a síndrome de pseudoexfoliação e a prevalência de complicações e fatores clínicos relacionados em pacientes submetidos à cirurgia de catarata. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo retrospectivo de coorte de 503 de 551 pacientes que se submeteram à cirurgia de facoemulsificação durante 2 anos em um distrito de saúde no noroeste da Espanha. No total, 120 dos 681 olhos submetidos ao procedimento apresentavam síndrome de pseudoexfoliação. Dados sobre o procedimento cirúrgico e complicações associadas foram obtidos dos prontuários médicos. As complicações incluíram qualquer combinação de ruptura da cápsula posterior, perda de humor vítreo, diálise zonular e luxação do núcleo ou do cristalino. Resultados: Encontramos uma associação significativa entre síndrome de pseudoexfoliação e diálise zonular (razão de probabilidade [RP]: 6,89; IC 95%, 2,27-20,93), a miose perioperatória (RP: 2,15; IC 95%, 1,10-4,22) e luxação do cristalino >1,5 mm (RP: 9,49; IC 95%, 0,85-105,54). Porém, ao ajustar para o risco global de complicações em pacientes com síndrome de pseudoexfolição em consideração à miopia, uso de anticoagulantes ou α-agonistas, midríase prévia e comprimento da câmara anterior, a RP diminuiu para 1,02 (IC 95%, 0,47-2,21) e não foi, portanto, significativo. Conclusão: A diálise zonular e a miose intraoperatória foram complicações intraoperatórias em pacientes submetidos à cirurgia de catarata com síndrome de pseudoexfoliação quando comparados aos controles.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Purpose: To compare the anterior segment parameters of patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome, patients with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma, and normal subjects. Methods: This prospective, controlled, comparative study included 150 eyes of 150 patients. The patients were divided into the pseudoexfoliation syndrome group, the pseudoexfoliation glaucoma group, and the control group (50 patients in each group). Axial length, central corneal thickness, aqueous depth, anterior chamber depth, lens thickness, K1 and K2 keratometry values, and white to white distance measurements were obtained by optical biometry and compared between the groups. Results: The mean ages of the pseudoexfoliation syndrome, pseudoexfoliation glaucoma, and control patients were 62.18 ± 6.21, 61.80 ± 6.62, and 59.40 ± 6.89 years, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups in mean age or sex ratio (p>0.05). Mean central corneal thickness was statistically significantly greater, mean aqueous depth and anterior chamber depth were statistically significantly greater, and mean lens thickness was statistically significantly less in the control group than in the pseudoexfoliation syndrome and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma groups (p<0.05). Pairwise comparisons of the pseudoexfoliation syndrome group and the pseudoexfoliation glaucoma group revealed that there were no significant differences between these two groups in central corneal thickness, aqueous depth, anterior chamber depth, and lens thickness (p>0.017). Conclusions: Patients with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma and pseudoexfoliation syndrome had greater lens thickness, shallower aqueous depth and anterior chamber depth, and less central corneal thickness than normal subjects. None of the anterior segment parameters differed between patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome and patients with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma.


RESUMO Objetivos: Comparar os parâmetros do segmento anterior de casos de síndrome de pseudo-esfoliação, de glaucoma pseudo-esfoliação e de indivíduos normais. Métodos: O presente estudo prospectivo comparativo controlado incluiu 150 olhos de 150 pacientes. Os pacientes foram divididos em três grupos: grupo síndrome de pseudo-esfoliação, grupo glaucoma pseudo-esfoliação e grupo controle (50 em cada grupo). O comprimento axial, a espessura corneana central, a profundidade aquosa, a profundidade da câmara anterior, a espessura da lente, os valores de ceratometria K1 e K2 e as medidas branco a branco, obtidas por biometria óptica, foram comparados entre os grupos. Resultados: As idades médias dos indivíduos do grupo síndrome de pseudo-esfoliação, glaucoma pseudo-esfoliação e controle foram 62,18 ± 6,21, 61,80 ± 6,62 e 59,40 ± 6,89 anos, respectivamente. Entre os grupos, não houve diferenças estatisticamente significativas quanto às idades e ao gênero dos pacientes (p>0,05, para todos). A espessura da córnea central média foi significativamente mais espessa, a profundidade média aquosa e a profundidade da câmara anterior foram significativamente mais profundas e a espessura média da lente foi significativamente mais fina no grupo controle do que nos grupos síndrome de pseudo-esfoliação e glaucoma pseudo-esfoliação (p<0,05, para todos). As comparações por pares do grupo síndrome de pseudo-esfoliação e do grupo glaucoma pseudo-esfoliação (p<0,05, para todos). As comparações por pares do grupo síndrome de pseudo-esfoliação e do grupo glaucoma pseudo-esfoliação não revelaram diferenças significativas entre esses dois grupos quanto à espessura corneana central, à profundidade aquosa, à profundidade da câmara anterior e aos valores de espessura da lente (p>0,017, para cada um). Conclusões: Os casos de glaucoma pseudo-esfoliação e de síndrome de pseudo-esfoliação apresentaram lente mais espessa, menor profundidade aquosa, menor profundidade da câmara anterior e espessura corneana central mais fina do que os indivíduos normais. No entanto, nenhum dos parâmetros do segmento anterior foi diferente entre os indivíduos do grupo síndrome de pseudo-esfoliação e do grupo glaucoma pseudo-esfoliação.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACTObjectives:

Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PES) is a common age-related fibrillopathy related to accumulation of pseudoexfoliation material (PEM) in certain places in the body, especially blood vessels. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is another condition related to vascular pathology and in this study it is aimed to identify the relationship between ED and PES.

Materials and Methods:

Data of 92 patients were investigated. There were 34 patients in the PES group and 58 patients in the control group. Presence of diabetes, hypertension, smoking history, BMI, and serum levels of lipids and testosterone were recorded. The groups were compared for ED rates and severity. Also logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors for development of ED.

Results:

Mean age of the population was 67.3. No significant difference was observed between the two groups regarding the presece of DM, HT, smoking, BMI and laboratory measurements. ED rate was significantly higher in the PES group (70.6% vs 48.3%, p=0.002). Also, severe ED rate was higher in the PES group (p=0.002). PES was detected as an independent risk factors for the development of ED.

Conclusion:

ED is a possible consequence of PES. ED rate and severity is found to be higher in the PES group and PES is detected as an independent risk factor for development of ED. Patients with PES should be informed about development of ED and further prospective trials with objective measurements of penile blood flow should be conducted to verify the erectile status and penile blood fow in PES patients.
