Update on Normal Tension Glaucoma
Normal tension glaucoma (NTG) is labelled when typical glaucomatous disc changes, visual field defects and open anterior chamber angles are associated with intraocular pressure (IOP) constantly below 21 mmHg. Chronic low vascular perfusion, Raynaud's phenomenon, migraine, nocturnal systemic hypotension and over-treated systemic hypertension are the main causes of normal tension glaucoma. Goldma...
متن کاملSurgery for normal tension glaucoma.
The long term follow up of surgery in normal tension glaucoma is presented. One eye of 18 patients with bilateral progressive disease underwent fistulising surgery. Over follow up periods ranging from 2 to 7 years (50% > or = 5 years) the operated eye showed on average a 30% reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP). This was associated with a marked difference in the rate and number of retinal l...
متن کاملComparison of OCT and HRT Findings Among Normal, Normal Tension Glaucoma, and High Tension Glaucoma
PURPOSE To evaluate the relationship between optic disc and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) measurements obtained with the optical coherence tomography (OCT) and the Heidelberg retina topography (HRT) in normal, normal tension glaucoma (NTG), and high tension glaucoma (HTG). METHODS Normal, NTG and HTG subjects who met inclusion and exclusion criteria were evaluated retrospectively. One hund...
متن کاملSmell perception in normal tension glaucoma patients
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to quantify the ability to identify odors in normal tension glaucoma (NTG) patients and healthy subjects with and without a primary vascular dysregulation (PVD). METHODS Both self-assessment of smell perception and evaluation of odor identification by means of the 12-item odor identification test ("Sniffin' Sticks") were performed in the following groups of s...
متن کاملOptic disc findings in normal tension glaucoma.
One hundred thirty stereo photographs of optic discs in patients with normal tension glaucoma (NTG) were reviewed in order to identify characteristics of the three following types of NTG: focal ischemic, senile sclerotic, and generalized cup enlargement. Twenty patients in each group were selected. Focal ischemic patients were more frequently women, had a higher incidence of migraine, a relativ...
