Objective: The aim of this study was to show possible connection between episcleritis and open-
angle glaucoma.
Design: This was a retrospective study.
Materials and Methods: Data on 21 patients who suffered from episcleritis and had no previous
attack of episcleritis or glaucoma were collected for a period of 8 years (from 2004 to 2011).
Results: Six of the 21 patients of the study group (28.6%) were diagnosed as suffering from
glaucoma. Four patients had a diffuse conjunctival congestion, 1 had sectoral congestion, and for
1 patient there was no record of conjunctival congestion. Two of the 6 patients with episcleritis
and glaucoma experienced recurrent episcleritis events during the follow-up period.
Conclusions: This study suggests an association between episcleritis and open-angle glaucoma.
Key Words: episcleral venous pressure, intraocular pressure, inflammation, conjunctival
congestion
TUJUAN PENELITIAN
Untuk menunjukkan
kemungkinan hubungan
antara episkleritis dan
glaukoma sudut terbuka
METODE
Studi Retrospektif
Mean usia adalah 26,6 (rentang, 17 hingga 57) tahun; 6 pria dan 18
adalah pasien wanita. Lima dari 21 pasien dari kelompok studi (20,8%)
didiagnosis menderita glaukoma.
Dalam studi ini, proporsi yang lebih tinggi dari pasien dengan
epis-cleritis adalah wanita daripada laki-laki. EVP ditemukan lebih tinggi
di mata dengan Glau-koma-sudut terbuka utama yang tidak diobati
daripada di mata dengan glaukoma ketegangan normal yang tidak
diobati.
