Laser peripheral iridotomy with iridoplasty in primary angle closure suspect: anterior chamber analysis by pentacam

Purpose

To compare conventional laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) and LPI combined with laser peripheral iridoplasty in eyes with primary angle closure suspect (PACS) by assessment of anterior chamber dimensional changes using a Pentacam.

Methods

Forty-eight eyes of 24 subjects with bilateral PACS were recruited consecutively. Each eye was randomly allocated to treatment with conventional LPI, argon LPI only, or LPI plus iridoplasty, which consisted of simultaneous argon LPI and peripheral iridoplasty. Anterior chamber measurements were performed on each eye using a Pentacam, both before and after treatment. Mean anterior chamber depth (ACD), anterior chamber volume (ACV), and anterior chamber angle were measured, and topographic ACD analysis was performed. Results were compared between the two treatment groups.

Results

After treatment with either conventional LPI or LPI plus iridoplasty, the mean ACD and ACV increased significantly. Topographic ACD analysis revealed that the mid-to-peripheral ACD increase was significantly greater in the LPI plus iridoplasty group than in eyes treated with conventional LPI. Intraocular pressure changes and post-LPI complications did not differ between the groups.

Conclusions

Compared with conventional LPI, our study showed that LPI plus iridoplasty improved the mid-to-peripheral ACD increase. This procedure may have a role as an adjunct for reducing angle closure by simultaneously eliminating pupillary and non-pupillary block components.     

Comparison of ultrasound biomicroscopic parameters after laser iridotomy in eyes with primary angle closure and primary angle closure glaucoma

PURPOSE: To study changes in anterior segment morphology after laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) in primary angle closure (PAC) and primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) using ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM). METHODS: Ninety-three eyes of 93 patients underwent anterior segment evaluation including gonioscopy, disc evaluation with + 90D lens, applanation intraocular pressure, and standard achromatic perimetry. UBM was performed before and 2 weeks after Nd:YAG LPI to measure the trabecular-iris angle (TIA), the angle-opening distance (AOD 250/500), and the central anterior chamber depth (ACD). RESULTS: The superior TIA widened from a mean of 7.54+/-3.15 to 15.66+/-6.69 degrees (P=0.0001), the inferior TIA increased from a mean of 9.0+/-4.7 to 15.9+/-6.8 degrees (P=0.0001) after LPI in PAC. In PACG, the mean superior angle changed from 4.55+/-2.5 to 6.12+/-3.8 degrees (P=0.4) and the inferior angle increased from 4.75+/-2.0 to 7.9+/-3.7 degrees (P=0.1). The mean ACD increased from 2.19+/-0.36 to 2.30+/-0.36 mm in PAC group (P=0.0003), with no significant change seen in the PACG group (1.79+/-0.32 vs 1.82+/-0.33 mm, P=0.13). CONCLUSION: LPI leads to a widening of the anterior chamber angle and a deepening of the anterior chamber in eyes with PAC. It does not significantly change any anterior segment parameters in eyes with PACG.     

急性原发性房角关闭对侧眼激光周边虹膜切除术后接触性房角关闭的研究

目的了解急性原发性房角关闭（APAC）对侧眼激光周边虹膜切除术（LPI）后接触性房角关闭的发生率和眼部解剖特征。方法前瞻性研究。选择54例APAC对侧眼没有虹膜前黏连（PAS）的患者作为研究对象,平均年龄（67．1±7．2）岁（54—83岁）。采用超声生物显微镜（UBM）在暗环境下观察LPI后是否发生接触性房角关闭．并比较发生接触性房角关闭与不发生接触性房角关闭患眼的眼压、房角及各项UBM参数,包括房角开放距离。（AOD跏）、房角隐窝面积,。（ARA750）、小梁虹膜夹角（T—I角）、小梁睫状体距离（TCPD）、周边虹膜厚度（IT1）、虹膜悬韧带距离（IZD）、虹膜根部附着位置、中央前房深度（ACD）。对两组数据采用独立样本t检验及两样本秩和检验进行分析。结果LPI后暗环境下UBM检查至少一个象限发生接触性房角关闭的有20例,占37％。反映房角开放程度的指标（AOD500、ARA750、T-I角）和反映睫状体位置的指标（TCPD）：接触性房角关闭（＋）组小于（-）组（t=11．741、11．089、12．175、4．349,P均〈0．01）;反映虹膜形态和位置的指标IT1：接触性房角关闭（＋）组大于（-）组（t=-3．300,P=0．002）;IZD、虹膜根部附着位置及ACD比较,两组差异无统计学意义（t=-1．880,P=0．066;Z=-1．423,P=0．155;t=0．072,P=0．942）。结论APAC对侧眼LPI后在暗环境下仍有一定比例发生接触性房角关闭,房角窄、睫状体前位、周边虹膜厚是LPI后发生接触性房角关闭的解剖学特点,提示LPI后具有这些解剖特点的APAC患者有可能进展为慢性房角关闭。     

Narrowing of the anterior chamber angle during Valsalva maneuver: a possible mechanism for angle closure

PURPOSE: To evaluate changes at the anterior chamber angle during Valsalva maneuver in eyes suspected to have a primary adult glaucoma. METHODS: Seventy-six consecutive patients underwent recording of applanation tonometry, measurement of the anterior chamber angle recess, angle opening distance, angle recess area, scleral spur-iris root distance, iris thickness, iridociliary angle, ciliary body thickness, anterior chamber depth, and pupil size on ultrasound biomicroscopy before and during the Valsalva maneuver. The Valsalva maneuver was standardized to a pressure of 40 mmHg for 15 seconds, using a manometer. RESULTS: The mean baseline intraocular pressure changed from 19.5+/-4.1 mmHg to 29.5+/-4.8 mmHg during Valsalva (p<0.0001). The anterior chamber angle recess narrowed from 17.9+/-9.5 to 7.8+/-9.2 degrees (p=0.0001). The angle recess area diminished from 0.15+/-0.14 mm2 to 0.14+/-0.12 mm2 (p=0.03) and the scleral spur to iris distance decreased from 0.19+/-0.2 mm to 0.16+/-0.18 mm (p=0.0001). The iridociliary angle narrowed from 72.6+/-33.5 degrees to 62.5+/-32.8 degrees (p=0.04). There was a significant increase in the thickness of the ciliary body, from 0.99+/-0.19 mm to 1.12+/-0.16 mm (p=0.001) and in iris thickness from 0.47+/-0.07 mm to 0.55+/-0.09 mm (p=0.0001). There was no significant change in the angle opening distance, anterior chamber depth, or pupillary diameter. A significant narrowing of the angle to less than 5 degrees was seen in 37 eyes, with iridocorneal apposition present in 28 eyes. After multivariate regression analysis it was found that the baseline ciliary body thickness and angle recess were significant predictors of narrowing of the angle (R2=96.1%). CONCLUSIONS: Significant elevation of the intraocular pressure, narrowing of the anterior chamber angle recess, thickening of the ciliary body, and increase in the iris thickness is seen during the Valsalva maneuver. The Valsalva maneuver may lead to angle closure in eyes anatomically predisposed to primary angle closure glaucoma.

原发性房角关闭眼激光虹膜切除术后UBM测量参数比较

目的:比较激光虹膜切开术前后原发性房角关闭(primary angle closure,PAC)眼超声生物显微镜(ultrasound biomicroscopy,UBM)参数。方法:对46例74眼PAC患者进行了一项前瞻性临床试验。平均年龄58,04±11.33(24.0-82.0)岁。所有病例行完整的眼科检查,前房角镜A超生物测量和超声生物显微镜检查(Vu-max,SonomedInc.,NY,USA)及24-2标准无色差视野检查(SAP,Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer-II i,Carl Zeiss Meditec Inc.,Dublin,CA,USA)。使用配对t检验评估基准和随访的平均值之间的变化。结果:激光周边虹膜切除术(laser peripheral iridotomy,LPI)术后,平均房角从8.02±4.61(0.10-19.60)度增加到17.66±6.39(0.10-32.70)度(P=0.000),房角开放距离500(angle opening distance 500,AOD500)从0.11±0.06(0.01-0.30)mm增加到0.23±0.07(0.13-0.50)mm(P=0.000),平均虹膜厚度(iris thickness,IT)从0.58±0.11(0.33-0.99)mm下降到0.52±0.10(0.25-0.77)mm(P=0.000)。小梁睫状突距离,虹膜睫状突距离和睫状体厚度均未发现显著统计学差异。结论:LPI术后PAC的白种人眼睛的AOD500,虹膜晶体距离和前房角增加,IT和虹膜晶体高度减少。这说明LPI解除了瞳孔阻滞,加深了前房,扩大了房角,减少了虹膜前凸和增厚。     

YAG laser iridotomy treatment for primary angle closure in east Asian eyes

AIM: To assess the efficacy of Nd:YAG laser iridotomy as initial treatment for primary angle closure in a community setting in rural Mongolia. METHODS: Subjects with occludable drainage angles in two glaucoma prevalence surveys in Mongolia (carried out in 1995 and 1997) were treated with YAG laser iridotomy at the time of diagnosis. These patients were re-examined in 1998. Patency of iridotomy, intraocular pressure (IOP), visual acuity, and gonioscopic findings were recorded. Iridotomy was classified unsuccessful in eyes where further surgical intervention was required or in which there was a loss of visual acuity to <3/60 from glaucomatous optic neuropathy. RESULTS: 164 eyes of 98 subjects were examined. Patent peripheral iridotomies were found in 98.1% (157/160) of eyes that had not undergone surgery. Median angle width increased by two Shaffer grades following iridotomy. Iridotomy alone failed in 3% eyes with narrow drainage angles and either peripheral anterior synechiae or raised IOP, but normal optic discs and visual fields. However, in eyes with established glaucomatous optic neuropathy at diagnosis iridotomy failed in 47%. None of the eyes with occludable angles that were normal in all other respects, and underwent iridotomy, developed glaucomatous optic neuropathy or symptomatic angle closure within the follow up period. CONCLUSIONS: Nd: YAG laser iridotomy is effective in widening the drainage angle and reducing elevated IOP in east Asian people with primary angle closure. This suggests that pupil block is a significant mechanism causing closure of the angle in this population. Once glaucomatous optic neuropathy associated with synechial angle closure has occurred, iridotomy alone is less effective at controlling IOP.     

Ultrasound biomicroscopic quantification of the change in anterior chamber angle following laser peripheral iridotomy in early chronic primary angle closure glaucoma

AIMS: To prospectively evaluate by ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and gonioscopy the anterior chamber angle widening following laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) in eyes with early chronic primary angle closure glaucoma (CACG). METHODS: A total of 55 eyes of 55 patients with CACG presenting with less than 180 degrees peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS) were enrolled in the study. Angles were assessed by gonioscopy (Shaffer's grading) and UBM, before and 4 weeks after LPI. The angle opening distance at 250 and 500 microm from the scleral spur (AOD 250 and AOD 500) was computed. Results were analysed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. RESULTS: In the quadrant with LPI, the mean gonioscopy grade increased significantly from 0.45 to 1.45 (P<0.001) and the mean AOD 250 and AOD 500 increased from 38.5+/-25.9 to 83.5+/-48.4 microm (P<0.001) and 110.2+/-80.9 to 170.6+/-83.4 microm (P<0.001), respectively. The angles widened significantly in the opposite quadrant on UBM (AOD 250: 48.8+/-31.5-82.7+/-43.9 microm, P<0.001; AOD 500:117.2+/-65.5-172.2+/-81.7 microm; P<0.001), but the median gonioscopy grade remained unchanged. CONCLUSIONS: LPI significantly widened the anterior chamber angle in the quadrant with LPI and the quadrant furthest away in patients of CACG with established glaucomatous damage. This change was much better appreciated by the UBM than gonioscopy.
