Abstract EN
Purpose.
To characterize the clinical features in young patients with angle closure and to determine the characteristics associated with acquired anterior segment abnormality following retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) treatment.
Methods.
We performed two retrospective case-control series.
In the first series, we identified consecutive young angle closure patients without prior surgeries, with and without a history of ROP treatment; in the second series we identified consecutive patients who underwent ROP treatment, without and without anterior segment changes.
Results.
In the first series, 25 eyes of 14 consecutive angle closure patients were included: 19 eyes (11 patients, 78.6%) had a history of treated ROP, while 6 eyes (3 patients) belonged to full-term patients.
The treated ROP eyes had significantly shallower anterior chambers (1.77 ± 0.17 mm vs 2.72 ± 0.18 mm, P<0.0001) and thicker lenses (5.20 ± 0.54 mm vs 3.98 ± 0.20 mm, P=0.0002) compared to the full-term controls.
In the second series, 79 eyes of 40 patients were included, with median gestational age of 24.6 weeks.
Acquired iridocorneal adhesion was noted in the eight eyes (10.1%) at a mean age of 4.7 years and was associated with prior zone 1 and plus disease (P=0.0013), a history of initial intravitreal bevacizumab treatment (IVB, P=0.0477) and a history of requiring additional IVB after initial treatment (P=0.0337).
Conclusions.
Many young angle closure patients may have a history of treated ROP and may present with the triad of increased lens thickness, microcornea, and angle closure.
