Glaucomatocyclitic crisis and glaucomatous optic neuropathy
Glaucomatocyclitic crisis is a rare disease first described by Posner and Schlossman1 in 1948. The disease is characterized by unilateral recurrent attacks of increased intraocular pressure (IIOP) associated withmild anterior uveitis and an open angle.1,2 It is classified as an inflammatoryglaucoma. In contrast to the commonpresentations of eye pain andnausea in acute angle-closure glaucoma, th...
متن کاملMotion perception deficits in glaucomatous optic neuropathy
The mechanisms mediating impaired motion perception in glaucoma were investigated. Direction discrimination thresholds for low (4.2 deg/sec) and high (12.5 deg/sec) velocity random-dot kinematograms were measured in controls and patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Thresholds were elevated significantly in glaucoma patients and individual ocular hypertensives. Threshold elevations wer...
متن کاملEvaluation of inducible nitric oxide synthase in glaucomatous optic neuropathy and pressure-induced optic nerve damage.
PURPOSE To determine whether inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS-2) is involved in glaucomatous optic neuropathy. METHODS Chronic elevation of rat intraocular pressure (IOP) leading to optic nerve damage was induced by episcleral injection of hypertonic saline, which caused sclerosis and blockade of aqueous humor outflow pathways. Expression of NOS-2 in the retina and optic nerve head (ONH) ...
متن کاملComparison of Optic Disc Morphology of Optic Nerve Atrophy between Compressive Optic Neuropathy and Glaucomatous Optic Neuropathy
OBJECTIVES To compare the optic nerve head (ONH) structure between compressive optic neuropathy (CON) and glaucomatous optic neuropathy (GON), and to determine whether selected ONH quantitative parameters effectively discriminate between GON and CON, especially CON cases presenting with a glaucoma-like disc. METHODS We prospectively assessed 34 patients with CON, 34 age-matched patients with ...
متن کاملglaucomatous optic neuropathy management: the role of neuroprotective agents
glaucoma is a major cause of worldwide irreversible blindness. the central role of raised intraocular pressure (iop) is being questioned as many patients continue to demonstrate a clinically downhill course despite initial control of iop. the latest concept of recognizing glaucoma as a multifactorial, progressive, neurodegenerative disease of retinal ganglion cells (rgcss) associated with chara...
