Glaucoma ACUTE
DEFINITIONS
Glaucoma is an eye disorder characterized by increased
pressure within the eyeball (Intra Ocular Pressure = IOP)
that accompanied the downsizing concave optic disc
and visual field. High eye pressure will also result in
damage to the optic nerve which is located inside the
eyeball, and there will be disturbances of visual field.
Acute glaucoma is glaucoma that occurs suddenly with
blockage of the flow of humor akueus more complete.
Other names are of primary angle-closure glaucoma.
Epidemiology
Easy occur in the eye that has flair angle eyes closed
chambers, such as pd hypermetropia
Etiology
RISK FACTOR
Age
history of family members affected by glaucoma. For certain types of
glaucoma, family members of patients with glaucoma have a six times
greater risk of developing glaucoma
eyeball pressure above 21 mmHg at high risk for glaucoma
Drugs
Steroid users routinely example: User eye drops containing steroids that are
not controlled by doctors, inhalers for asthma sufferers, steroid medication
for arthritis and drug users who use steroids are routinely others.
History of trauma (injury accident) in the eye.
Other diseases. A history of cataracts, diabetes (diabetes), hypertension and
migraine
CLASSIFICATION
There are 4 types of glaucoma:
1. open-angle glaucoma
2. The angle-closure glaucoma
3. glaucoma kongenitalis
4. Secondary glaucoma
All four types of glaucoma are characterized by increased
pressure within the eyeball, and therefore all can cause
progressive damage to the optic nerve.
Pathogenesis
Clinical manifestations
o sudden blurred vision
Etiology:
Hyperopia
Prebiopia
DM
Changes in the shape of the eyeball
Change the position of the lens
DIAGNOSIS
History
sudden blurred vision
severe pain around the eyes or back of the head
nausea
vomiting
see the halo (rainbow around the object or lamu pliers
views)
complaint is often reduced when people see a strong
beam resulting in smaller pupil
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
Visus greatly decreased
IOP rises
Red eye
Cornea gloomy / cloudy
Injection siliar
shallow anterior Room
Details of the iris does not appear
pupils slightly widened, less / no reaction to light
The optic discs appear red and swollen
At the touch porch eyes hard as marbles
SUPPORTING INVESTIGATION
1. tonometry. This tool is useful for assessing the intraocular
pressure. Normal eye pressure ranges between 15-21 mmHg.
2. Gonioskopi. Anterior chamber angle is the distribution out humor
akueus. By gonioskopi we tried to assess the state of the angle,
whether open, closed or narrow or there are abnormalities in the
corner.
3. Assessment of the optic disc. By using opthalmoskop we can
measure the CDR. CDR exceeding 0.5 indicates a significant
increase in intraocular pressure.
4. Examination of visual field. It is important to diagnose and follow
patients with glaucoma. Glaucoma visual field will be reduced due
to increased IOP will damage the optic nerve papillae.
DIAGNOSIS Banding
Keratitis
corneal ulcers
Uveitis
TREATMENT
1. drugs (medical emergencies and short-term)
semiotic: to release the iris of the eye tissue so that the angle trabekulum front booth will
be open
pilocarpin 2%, eye drops 1 drop every minute for 5 minutes,
then followed by 1 drop every hour up to 6 hours
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors: to decrease the formation of aqueous humor
acetazolamide, 250 mg per tablet, 2 tablets at a time, followed by 1 tablet every 4 hours
to 24 hours
drug hiperosmotik: to increase the plasma osmotic power
50% glycerin solution orally, a dose of 1-1.5 g / kg (0.7-1,5 cc / kg or 1 cc / kg), while
drunk
mannitol 20%, per infusion 60 drops per minute
morphine: to reduce pain and shrink the pupil injected 10-15 mg
2. Surgery
Performed after treatment with drugs to the eye pressure <25 mmHg and reduced red eye
iridektomi perifer
Indications:
glaucoma in phase prodomal
Acute glaucoma recent
precautions in the left eye
Technique: made a hole in the iris to the peripheral temporal side above
Filtration Surgery
indications:
Acute glaucoma longstanding
patient has entered the stage of chronic congestive glaucoma
Technical :
trepanation Elliot: small holes measuring 1.5 mm were made in the area kornea- skleral, then covered by the conjunctiva in order aqueous flow directly
from the anterior chamber to the subconjunctival space.
sklerotomi scheie cornea-skleral: cauterized so that the wound is not closed completely, with the aim that the aqueous flow directly from the anterior
chamber to the subconjunctival space.
trabeculectomy: lift trabekulum forming slits for eye fluid drain into the Schlemm canal.
PROGNOSIS
Acute glaucoma is an emergency OPHTHALMOLOGY so if not immediately dealt with bad prognosis
COMPLICATIONS
Blindness
