ABSTRACT<br />

PURPOSE<br />

To analyze the IOP diurnal fluctuations in patients presenting pseudoexfoliative synd<strong>ro</strong>me (PEX) compared<br />

to those without PEX.<br />

METHOD<br />

A clinical observational p<strong>ro</strong>spective study, one year, on 2 g<strong>ro</strong>ups of patients: g<strong>ro</strong>up A (13 patients) -<br />

with pseudoexfoliative synd<strong>ro</strong>me (PEX) and g<strong>ro</strong>up B, cont<strong>ro</strong>l, (11 patients) - without PEX. The g<strong>ro</strong>ups were<br />

homogeneous about the age and sex distribution. At each visit 4 IOP measurements were taken using<br />

Goldmann aplanotonometry.<br />

RESULTS<br />

In PEX patients the IOP had greater values during the study period compared to the cont<strong>ro</strong>l g<strong>ro</strong>up.<br />

By comparing the two g<strong>ro</strong>ups have been observed significant differences about the maximum IOP, the mean<br />

IOP and the diurnal fluctuations, also about the incidence of the complications.<br />

CONCLUSIONS<br />

The IOP diurnal fluctuations in PEX patients are significantly greater than the physiological ones and<br />

therefore influence the therapeutic attitude and the p<strong>ro</strong>gnostic.<br />

The significant fluctuations in the IOP diurnal curve are an important predictive factor for the eyes that will<br />

develop secondary glaucoma. The pseudoexfoliative synd<strong>ro</strong>me is an independent risk factor for glaucoma in<br />

patients with intraocular hypertension.<br />

KEY WORDS:<br />

• pseudoexfoliative synd<strong>ro</strong>me,<br />

• IOP fluctuations,<br />

• secondary glaucoma.<br />

SCOP<br />

Analiza fluctuatiilor diurne ale PIO la pacientii cu sind<strong>ro</strong>m pseudoexfoliativ in comparatie cu pacientii care<br />

nu prezinta aceasta patologie.<br />

MATERIAL SI METODA<br />

Studiu clinic p<strong>ro</strong>spectiv, observational, timp de 1 an (01.03.2005-28.02.2006) pe doua loturi de pacienti:<br />

- lotul A: 13 pacienti (26 de ochi) cu sind<strong>ro</strong>m pseudoexfoliativ, 3 cu PEX ''bilateral'' si 10 cu PEX aparent<br />

clinic ''unilateral''.<br />

- lotul B: 11 pacienti (22 de ochi) fara sind<strong>ro</strong>m psedoexfoliativ.<br />

Loturile au fost omogene in ceea ce priveste repartitia pe grupe de varsta si sex si nu au prezentat patologie<br />

oculara asociata (vicii importante de refractie, patologie corneeana, inflamatii intraoculare, etc.) care sa<br />

fi influentat rezultatele studiului. ( tabel 1)
