ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT

Purpose:

To evaluate the long-term outcomes of medically or surgically treated patients with atopic keratoconjunctivitis (AKC).

Methods:

Charts of 16 patients with AKC (32 eyes) observed between 1996 and 2013 were reviewed retrospectively. Outcome measures included demographic features, follow-up duration, and biomicroscopic findings at the first and most recent visits. The corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA; in decimal units) was evaluated at the initial visit and the 1-, 6-, and 12-month follow-up visits.

Results:

In the medically treated group (25 eyes of 15 patients), the median follow-up duration was 3 (range, 1-9) years, and the median CDVA values were 0.01 (0.001-1.0) at the first visit and 0.01 (0.001-0.8) at the most recent visit (p=0.916). In the penetrating keratoplasty (PK) group (7 eyes of 6 patients), the median follow-up duration was 7 years (range, 1-11), and the median CDVA increased from 0.01 (0.001-0.01) to 0.2 (0.001-0.7) postoperatively (p=0.043).

Conclusion:

Whereas most AKC patients maintained a useful CDVA with medical treatment, PK may be required in some cases. Despite the frequent occurrence of complications, PK can significantly improve the CDVA.
RESUMO
RESUMO

Objetivo:

Avaliar os resultados a longo prazo em ceratoconjuntivite atópica (AKC) pacientes que foram tratados clinicamente ou cirurgicamente.

Métodos:

Os prontuários de 16 pacientes (32 olhos) com AKC, que foram acompanhados entre 1996 e 2013 foram avaliados retrospectivamente. As medidas adotadas foram as características demográficas, tempos de seguimento, e resultados biomicroscópicos da visita inicial e da visita mais recente. A acuidade visual corrigida para distância (CDVA), apresentada em unidades decimais, foi avaliada na visita inicial e nas visitas do 1º mês, 6º mês e 1º ano de seguimento.

Resultados:

No grupo tratado clinicamente (25 olhos de 15 pacientes), a mediana do tempo de seguimento foi de 3 anos (variação, 1-9) e a CDVA média foi de 0,01 (0,001-1,0) na visita inicial e 0,01 (0,001-0,8) na visita mais recente (p=0,916). No grupo de ceratoplastia penetrante (PK) (7 olhos de 6 pacientes), a mediana de tempo de seguimento foi de 7 anos (variação, 1-11) e a CDVA média aumentou de 0,01 (0,001-0,01) para 0,2 (0,001-0,7) (p=0,043) no pós-operatório.

Conclusões:

Embora a maioria dos pacientes AKC mantém a CDVA útil com o tratamento clínico, alguns necessitam de PK a fim de obter CDVA útil. Embora as complicações pós-PK ocorrem com freqüência, a CDVA pode melhorar significativamente.
