| Resumen: |
Purpose: To compare corneal topography and densitometry measurements in patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and healthy subjects. Patients and Methods: 200 eyes of 75 patients with POAG and 125 healthy controls underwent corneal topography and densitometry (Oculus Pentacam HR). The data compared in the two groups were: anterior chamber angle (ACA), depth (ACD) and volume (ACV), keratometry (K minimum, K maximum and K mean), central corneal thickness (CCT), central anterior elevation (CAE), anterior elevation apex (AEA), maximum anterior elevation (MAE) and posterior elevation apex (PEA). Densitometry measurements were made at three depths on a 12?mm-diameter circle divided into 4 concentric rings (0-2?mm, 2-6?mm, 6-10?mm and 10-12?mm). The diagnostic capacity of the corneal variables was assessed through the areas under the receiver operator characteristics (ROC) curve (AUC). Results: The corneal density of practically all depth layers and total corneal density were significantly higher in the POAG than control group (P Conclusion: Corneal densitometry measurements showed a good diagnostic capacity for POAG suggesting this type of examination could have clinical applications in the diagnosis and management of glaucoma. |
