Publication Metadata only How do presentation age and CSF opening pressure level affect long-term prognosis of pseudotumor cerebri syndrome in children? Experience of a single tertiary clinic(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021) DAĞÇINAR, ADNAN; Ozturk G., Turkdogan D., Unver O., Dericioglu V., Aslan B., Dagcinar A.Background: Diagnosis and treatment of pseudotumor cerebri syndrome in children is still a challenge for clinicians. The aim of this study is to reveal the influence of presentation age and CSF opening pressure on long-term prognosis of pseudotumor cerebri and share our clinical data of the very young age (≤ 5-year) group. Method: This retrospective study includes the patients followed by the Marmara University Pediatric Neurology Clinic between years 2012 and 2020 diagnosed with definite, probable, or suggestive pseudotumor cerebri syndrome according to modified Friedman criteria. Patients were classified into three groups according to presentation age: group 1: ≤ 5 years old; group 2: 6–10 years; and group 3 > 10 years old. CSF opening pressure was also categorized into three groups as CSF < 20 cmH20; CSF 20–30 cmH20; and CSF > 30 cmH20. Results: One hundred three patients, 62.1% female (n = 64), were enrolled in the study. Group 1 consisted of 16 patients (60% male), group 2 consisted of 30 patients (63.3% female), and group 3 consisted of 57 patients (66.7% female). The mean CSF opening pressure did not differ between the three age groups in our study (p > 0.05). Treatment response was not correlated with CSF opening pressure. Papilledema presence and level of CSF opening pressure were independent of age (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Age at presentation and CSF opening pressure at diagnosis are not any predictive factors that influence long-term prognosis of pseudotumor cerebri syndrome in children. Evaluation and follow-up of children should be done in personalized approach. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.Publication Open Access Predictive factors of complications and visual outcomes after pediatric cataract surgery: A single referral center study from Türkiye(2023-10-01) DERİCİOĞLU, VOLKAN; SEVİK, MEHMET ORKUN; BAĞATUR VURGUN, ELİF; ÇERMAN, EREN; DERİCİOĞLU V., SEVİK M. O., BAĞATUR VURGUN E., ÇERMAN E.Objectives: To evaluate the predictive factors of complications and visual acuity outcomes in pediatric cataract patients. Materials and Methods: This retrospective, observational clinical study included 80 eyes of 50 patients treated for pediatric cataracts between 2010 and 2020. The eyes were divided into Group I (congenital cataracts, n=38) and Group II (developmental cataracts, n=42). Group II was also divided into Group IIA (aphakic, n=21) and Group IIB (pseudophakic, n=21). The effects of the age, laterality, cataract morphology, intraocular lens implantation, preoperative nystagmus/strabismus, and intraoperative anterior hyaloid rupture on complications and final best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA; logMAR) were evaluated. Results: The median (interquartile range) age and follow-up time were 28 (5-79) months and 60 (29-84) months, respectively. There was a significant difference in mean final BCVA between Group I (0.79±0.46) and Group II (0.57±0.51) (p=0.047); however, no difference was observed between Group IIA and Group IIB (p=0.541). Having congenital cataract (p=0.045), preoperative nystagmus/strabismus (p=0.042), total/ mature cataract (p<0.001), and postoperative complications (p=0.07) were significantly associated with final BCVA. However, in multivariate analysis, only total/mature cataract (β: 0.52, p<0.001) and having any complication (β: 0.24, p=0.018) were associated with final BCVA. Congenital cataract and intraoperative anterior hyaloid rupture were the only significant risk factors of postoperative complications on univariate (p=0.027 and p=0.003, respectively) and binary logistic regression analysis (odds ratio [OR]: 2.95 [95% confidence interval: 1.07-8.15], p=0.036 and OR: 4.28 [95% confidence interval: 1.55-11.77], p=0.005, respectively). Conclusion: Total/mature cataract and the presence of any postoperative complication adversely affected the final BCVA. Having a congenital cataract and intraoperative anterior hyaloid membrane rupture increased the risk of complications.Publication Open Access Juvenile Xanthogranuloma Presented with Buphthalmos and Corneal Clouding in Neonatal Period: A Case Report(2022-05-01) DERİCİOĞLU, VOLKAN; SEVİK, MEHMET ORKUN; ERASLAN, MUHSİN; DERİCİOĞLU V., SEVİK M. O. , ERASLAN M., Dirican B., Yücelten D., Cinel L.Aim: To report an ocular juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) case presented with buphthalmos, corneal cloudiness, and normal intraocular pressure (IOP) in the neonatal period and treated with Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implantation. Background: JXG is a rare disorder predominantly seen in infants, but the neonatal presentation is extraordinary. Although spontaneous hyphema is a common presenting sign in JXG, buphthalmos and corneal opacity in the neonatal period were reported only in one case, which had high IOP values at presentation. Case presentation: Sixteen-day-old male patient presented with buphthalmos, diffuse corneal clouding, and 11 mm Hg of IOP value in the right eye. IOP increased to 28 mm Hg three weeks later, and spontaneous hyphema developed, which did not respond to antiglaucomatous medications and topical corticosteroids. AGV was implanted, and the IOP decreased to 13 mm Hg postoperatively. In the follow-ups, numerous firm yellowish nodules were noticed on the patient’s skin during the examination under general anesthesia. Histopathological examination of the skin nodules was compatible with the diagnosis of JXG. Lens subluxation and phacodonesis were developed during the follow-up and were managed with pars plana lensectomy. After a silent period of 3 months, epithelial ingrowth was determined around the side port entrance. Unfortunately, the ingrowth did not respond to cryotherapy and resulted in phthisis bulbi. Pathological evaluation of the enucleated phthisic eye revealed posterior segment involvement. Conclusion: Ocular JXG can be present with buphthalmos, corneal opacity, and normal IOP values without any skin lesions in the neonatal period. Neonatal presentation of JXG may be associated with limited medical therapy response and aggressive disease course. Clinical significance: This case report introduces the second ocular JXG case, which presented with buphthalmos and corneal cloudiness, and the third pathologically proven posterior segment involvement of JXG in the literature.Publication Metadata only Pediatrik optik gliom olgularının görme keskinlikleri ile elektofizyolojik ve radyolojik bulgularının değerlendirilmesi(2022-04-23) DERİCİOĞLU, VOLKAN; EKER, NURŞAH; BUĞDAYCI, ONUR; YARGI, BERRU; KURŞUN, MELTEM; SEVİK, MEHMET ORKUN; TOKUÇ, AYŞE GÜLNUR; ŞAHİN, ÖZLEM; Dericioğlu V., Eker N., Buğdayci O., Yargi B., Kurşun M., Sevik M. O. , Tokuç A. G. , Şahin Ö.Amaç:Optik gliom nedeniyle takip edilen pediatrik hastaların en iyi düzeltilmiş görme keskinliği (EİDGK, logMAR), flaş görsel uyarılmış potansiyeller (fVEP) ve manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) sonuçlarının karşılaştırılması.Yöntem:Marmara Üniversitesi Göz Hastalıkları, Pediatrik Onkoloji ve Radyoloji bölümlerince takip edilen 22 pediatrik optik gliom hastasının 38 gözü çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastaların başlangıç ve son takipteki EİDGK’leri, MRG’deki optik sinir kalınlıkları (OSK), kontrast tutulumları, sinyal değişimleri ve fVEP’te P2 dalgasının amplitüd ve latansları değerlendirildi.Bulgular:Hastaların yaş ortalamaları 12±5.7 yıl ve kız/erkek oranı 13/9 idi. Ortalama takip süresi 63.95±24.5 ay olarak bulundu. Gözlerin ilk ve son EİDGK’leri sırasıyla, ortanca (1.ve 3. çeyrekler aralığı) 0.2 (0-2.18) ve 0.2 (0-2.3) logMAR (p=0.586); MRG’de ölçülen ortalama OSK’leri sırasıyla, 6.51±6.03 ve 6.31±7.84 mm (p=0.650); fVEP P2 dalga ortalama amplitüdleri sırasıyla, 16.68±14.21 ve 17.93±11.96 mV (p=0.577) ve ortalama latansları sırasıyla, 149.38±50.30 ve 133.39±29.78 ms (p=0.009) olarak saptandı. Son logMAR EİDGK ile OSK (r=0.434, p=0.015), P2 amplitüdü (r=-0.432, p=0.014)) ve P2 latansı (r=0.614, p<0.001) arasında anlamlı orta düzeyde korelasyon olduğu görüldü. fVEP P2 dalga parametreleri ile OSK arasında korelasyon saptanmadı (p>0.05). P2 latansı ile MRG’de görülen sinyal (r=0.426, p=0.013) ve kontrast tutulumu (r=0.386, p=0.027) değişiklikleri arasında anlamlı korelasyon olduğu görüldü.Sonuç:Optik gliom hastalarında fVEP P2 dalga amplitüdleri ve latansları EİDGK ile ilişkili gözükmektedir. Ayrıca, P2 dalga latansının MRG’de görülen sinyal ve kontast tutulumu değişiklikleri ile de ilişkili olduğu görülmektedir. Bu bulgular, özellikle preverbal yaştaki optik gliom hastalarının değerlendirilmesinde ve hastalık ilerlemesinin takibinde fVEP’in kulanılabileceğini göstermektedir.Publication Metadata only Accuracy and reliability of magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension(2022-10-01) ULUÇ, KAYIHAN; ÇİMŞİT, NURİ ÇAGATAY; ILGIN, CAN; DERİCİOĞLU, VOLKAN; KAHRAMAN KOYTAK, PINAR; Kuzan B. N. , ILGIN C., Kuzan T. Y. , DERİCİOĞLU V., KAHRAMAN KOYTAK P., ULUÇ K., ÇİMŞİT N. Ç.© 2022 Elsevier B.V.Purpose: To determine the diagnostic utility of brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and to investigate the significance of evaluating radiological findings together with neurological and ophthalmological data in the diagnosis of IIH. Materials and Methods: All consecutive patients diagnosed with IIH in our tertiary neuro-ophthalmology center between January 1, 2018 and March 15, 2020, were included in the study. The clinical, radiological, and ophthalmological findings of IIH patients were compared with the control group with similar demographic characteristics. Results: A total of 98 patients, 49 cases and 49 controls, were included in the study. Lateral ventricular index had the highest area under the curve (AUC) value (0.945) for prediction of disease group followed by sella height category (AUC = 0.915) and optic nerve tortuosity (AUC = 0.855) According to the multivariate model we developed, caudate index (OR = 0.572, 95% CI 0.329–0.996), lateral ventricle index (OR = 3.969, 95% CI 1.851–8.509) and bilateral optic nerve tortuosity (OR = 22,784, 95% CI 2.432–213.450) were significant predictors for disease group. Conclusion: Tortuosity in the optic nerve, lateral ventricular index and caudate index can be used as MRI parameters supporting the diagnosis of IIH in clinically suspicious cases. A holistic approach to the clinical and radiological findings of the cases in the diagnosis of IIH can prevent overdiagnosis and enable early correct diagnosis.Publication Open Access The effect of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions on neovascular AMD patients treated with treat-and-extend protocol(SPRINGER, 2021-09) ÖZKAN, GAMZE; Sevik, Mehmet Orkun; Aykut, Aslan; Ozkan, Gamze; Dericioglu, Volkan; Sahin, OzlemPurpose To investigate the adherence rate of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) patients in treat-and-extend (TAE) protocol to their anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) intravitreal injection (IVI) appointments and to evaluate the functional and anatomical outcomes of the patients who attended and did not attend their IVI appointments during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) restriction period (RP). Methods The patients with nAMD having IVI appointments between March 16 and June 1, 2020 (RP in Turkey) were included in this retrospective study. For adherence analysis, the patients who attended (Group 1, n = 44) and who did not attend (Group 2, n = 60) their IVI appointment visits during the RP (V-RP) were evaluated according to their last visit before the RP (V-0). For outcome analysis, the patients who attend V-RP and have follow-up (Group 1a, 46 eyes) and who did not attend V-RP but later attended for follow-up (Group 2a, 33 eyes) were evaluated for functional (best-corrected visual acuity, BCVA [logMAR]) and anatomical (optical coherence tomography [OCT] disease activity) outcomes at the first visit after RP (V-1) and last visit within six months after RP (V-2). Patients received a complete ophthalmologic evaluation with anti-VEGF (Aflibercept) IVI administration at all visits. Results The adherence rate of the patients to V-RP was 42.3% (44/104). The patients in Group 1 were significantly younger (mean +/- SD years, 71.0 +/- 8.1 vs. 74.7 +/- 8.0, p = 0.024), had better median [IQR] BCVA at their first presentation (0.30 [0.54] vs. 0.61 [1.08], p = 0.023) and V-0 (0.40 [0.48] vs. 0.52 [0.70], p = 0.031), and had less hypertension (36.4% vs. 58.3%, p = 0.044) than Group 2. The mean +/- SD delay of planned IVI at V-RP in Group 2a was 13.9 +/- 6.2 weeks. Disease activity in OCT was significantly higher in Group 2a than Group 1a at V-1 (60.6% vs. 32.6%, p = 0.025). In Group 2a, the median (IQR) BCVA was significantly worse at V-1 (0.70 [0.58]) and V-2 (0.70 [0.59]) than V-0 (0.52 [0.40], p = 0.047 and p = 0.035, respectively). Conclusions More than half of the scheduled nAMD patients in TAE protocol missed their IVI visits during the RP, which resulted in a delay of their treatments. The delay of IVI treatment in those patients resulted in an increase in OCT disease activity and a decrease in BCVA.Publication Metadata only Elaborated analysis of short and long term results of skin blepharoplasty versus skin+muscle blepharoplasty(2022-09-15) DERİCİOĞLU, VOLKAN; ŞAN, BURÇİN; Dericioğlu V., Şan B.Objective:Blepharoplasty surgery is one of the world\"s most commonly performed surgical procedures; however, the effects of including muscle excision in routine skin removal are unclear. It was aimed to evaluate the short and long-term effects of skin only andskin+ muscle excision blepharoplasty on corneal nerves, dry eye parameters, meibomian glands, and eyebrow height.Materials and Methods: Twenty-four eyes (Group-S) of 12 patients who underwent skin excision and 24 eyes (Group-M) of 12 patients who underwent skin+muscle excision were included in the study. Preoperative, 1st week, 1st month, and 1st year Schirmer test, corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) parameters, non-invasive tear break-up time (NTBUT), meibomian gland area (MGA) analysis with infrared meibography, and lateral (LBH) and central (CBH) eyebrow heights were evaluated.Results:There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding age, gender, and preoperatively evaluated parameters (p>0.05). According to the preoperative values, a significant decrease was observed in the CCM parameter of nerve branch density in Group-S at week 1 (19.50±7.88 vs. 16.70±7.72 branches/mm2, p=0.026), and a significant decrease was observed in nerve fiber density in Group-M (19.98 ±7.59 vs. 17.11±7.16 fibers/mm2, p=0.006). A non-significant increase was observed in corneal nerve parameters in the 1st month; however, there was a slight decrease in the 1st year compared to baseline in both groups (p>0.05). Regarding Schimmer and NTBUT, there was no significant change from baseline in all visits in both groups (p>0.05). According to preoperative MGA values, a significant increase was observed in Group-S (18.84±6.02 vs. 21.18± vs.6.10, p=0.005) and Group-M (18.25±8.45 vs. 20.21±8.02, p=0.001) at 1 year. While no significant change was observed in eyebrow height in Group-S, a significant increase was observed in Group-M at 1 year in LBH (16.50±2.81 vs. 17.19±2.40 mm, p=0.007) and 1 month (17.31±2.77 vs. 18.00±2.50 mm, p=0.007) and 1 year (17.31±2.77 vs. 18.13±2.71 mm, p=0.001) in CBH compared to baseline.Conclusion:Elaborated analysis of this cohort showed that both surgical methods had similar effects on corneal nerves and dry eye parameters. Both approaches provided a significant increase in MGA. In addition, including muscle excision in the routine blepharoplasty operation has been found to be a reliable method that will also give a slight elevation in eyebrow position.Publication Metadata only Multicenter case series of standalone XEN implant vs. combination with phacoemulsification in Turkish patients(SPRINGER, 2021) ERASLAN, MUHSİN; Eraslan, Muhsin; Ozcan, Altan Atakan; Dericioglu, Volkan; Ciloglu, EminePurpose To evaluate and compare the efficacy, safety and needling timing and rates of standalone XEN implant vs. combination with phacoemulsification in Turkish patients. Methods Retrospective, multicenter study which included the data of patients, who had open angle glaucoma including primary open angle glaucoma and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma, underwent standalone XEN implantation (XEN alone) and combined surgery with phacoemulsification (XEN + Phaco) between 2016 and 2018. Results The study included 26 eyes of 24 patients in XEN alone group and 32 eyes of 30 patients in XEN + Phaco group. The mean intraocular pressure (IOP) was 23.3 +/- 6.0 mmHg and 24.4 +/- 7.4 mmHg at baseline (p = 0.838), and it reduced to 16.3 +/- 3.0 mmHg and 16.4 +/- 2.3 mmHg at 12-month follow-up (p = 0.436) in XEN alone and XEN + Phaco groups, respectively (reduction: %30 and %33, P = 0.642). The mean number of medications reduced from 2.9 + 0.7 before surgery to 0.9 + 0.9 on month 12. In XEN alone and XEN + Phaco groups, the needling rates were 42.3% and 31.2% (p = 0.491), and the mean time to needling was 3.7 +/- 3.2 months and 4.9 +/- 8.0 months (p = 0.696), respectively. Hypotonia (17.2%) and hyphema (10.3%) were the most frequent complications, respectively. In XEN alone and XEN + Phaco groups, partial success was achieved in 73.1% and 71.9% of eyes when defined as IOP < 18 mmHg with any medication, respectively (p = 0.920). Conclusion The XEN implant provides significant reduction in IOP and number of medications, either standalone or combination with phacoemulsification. Both procedures need intensive postoperative care, requiring needling in approximately one-third of patients.Publication Open Access A useful method for the practice of pneumatic retinopexy: Slit-lamp laser photocoagulation through the gas bubble(2023-05-01) SEVİK, MEHMET ORKUN; KUBAT, BETÜL; DERİCİOĞLU, VOLKAN; ŞAHİN, ÖZLEM; Aykut A., SEVİK M. O., KUBAT B., DERİCİOĞLU V., ŞAHİN Ö.This study aimed to demonstrate the laser retinopexy method through the gas bubble under a slit-lamp biomicroscope using a wide-field contact lens to treat rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) with pneumatic retinopexy (PR) and report its anatomical and functional results. This single-center, retrospective case series included RRD patients treated with PR using sulfur hexafluoride (SF6). The demographics, preoperative factors, and anatomical and functional outcomes were collected from the patient files. The single-procedure success rate of PR at postoperative 6th months was 70.8% (17/24 eyes), and the final success rate after secondary surgeries was 100%. The BCVA was better in the successful PR eyes at postoperative 3rd (p = 0.011) and 6th month (p = 0.016) than in failed eyes. No single preoperative factor was associated with PR success. The single-procedure success rate of PR using the laser retinopexy method through the gas bubble with a wide-field contact lens system seems comparable to the PR literature.Publication Metadata only Choroidal varix elevates macula following Valsalva manoeuvre(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2014) ÇERMAN, EREN; Cerman, Eren; Eraslan, Muhsin; Dericioglu, Volkan; Sahin, Ozlem; Cekic, Osman; Mahmutyazicioglu, Kamran
