Clinical correlation of optic nerve head analysis performed by SD-OCT in children with pseudopapilledema and papilledema.

Purpose: To investigate some diagnostic indicators in optic nerve head (ONH) analysis of children with 'Pseudopapilledema' and 'Papilledema' by Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT).

Methods: Medical records of 52 children with optic disc swelling, who were followed up by the departments of pediatric neurology and ophthalmology between May 2018 and May 2019 were reviewed retrospectively. Cases were classified as group 1 (Papilledema secondary to Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension) including 54 eyes of 27 cases, group 2 (Pseudopapilledema secondary to bilateral optic disc drusen) including 50 eyes of 25 cases and control group.

The effects of non-invasive mechanic ventilator modes on intraocular pressure in COPD patients with hypercapnic respiratory failure.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is not fully reversible disease that is characterized by progressive restricting airflow. Non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) treatment can be used in COPD patients who had type 2 respiratory failure. This study aimed to determine the effect of BPAP S/T and AVAPS modes on intraocular pressure (IOP), central corneal thickness (CCT) in 40 type 2 respiratory failure patients with COPD.

Keratoconus Could Be Associated With Psoriasis: Novel Findings From a Comparative Study.

Purpose: To explore the relationship between keratoconus (KC) and psoriasis.

Methods: One hundred ten eyes of 55 patients with psoriasis (study group, SG) and 110 eyes of age-sex-matched 55 healthy volunteers (control group, CG) were included in the study. All cases underwent a detailed dermatological and ophthalmological examination including corneal topography.
