Increased intraocular pressure as an initial presentation of normal-pressure hydrocephalus
Yavuz Bardak Osman Çekiç Handan Bardak Memduh Kerman Aykut Arslan Yıldız
Özet
Normal basınçlı hidrosefali olgusunda göziçi basınç artışı 67 yaşında bayan hasta baş ağrısı, görme azlığı ve göziçi basınç artışı ile kliniğimize başvurdu. Hastaya primer açık açılı glokom tanısı koyuldu. Nörolojik durumunun kötüleşmesi üzerine hasta 2 yıl sonra normal basınçlı hidrosefali nedeniyle ventrikülo-peritoneal şant operasyonuna alındı. Ameliyattan sonra olgunun hem nörolojik durumunun iyileştiği hem de yükselmiş olan göziçi basınç artışının normale döndüğü saptandı. Bu iki klinik durum arasındaki bağlantı ve ilişki benzer klinik durumlar düşünülerek göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır. Anahtar kelimeler: Artmış göziçi basıncı, normal basınçlı hidrosefali
Abstract
A 67-year-old woman presented with headache, visual disturbance and increased intraocular pressure to
the clinic. As her neurological state deteriorated gradually, she had underwent ventriculo-peritoneal shunt operation due to normal-pressure hydrocephalus 2 years later. Following the operation the patient.s neurological symptoms improved and high intraocular pressures turned to normal. Possible coexistence and association of these two clinical situations should be taken into consideration for similar patients. Key words: Increased intraocular pressure, normal-pressure hydrocephalus.
