Anterior segment evaluation in unilateral oculodermal melanocytosis
Abstract
Aim: To compare the anterior segment parameters of effected and normal eyes of unilateral
oculodermal melanocytosis (ODM) patients.
Materials and Methods: A retrospective chart and Scheimpflug camera database review for unilateral
ODM patients were conducted. Anterior chamber depth (ACD), anterior chamber volume (ACV),
anterior chamber angle (ACA) width, central corneal thickness (CCT), keratometry, pupilla diameter
parameters of the eye with ODM (Group 1) was compared to the normal (Group 2) eye.
Results: Sixteen patients with a mean age of 32.50±12.20 (range 12 and 48) were enrolled. No
difference between groups were detected in terms of ACD, ACV, CCT, keratometry, pupilla diameter
(p=0.655, p=0.812, p=0.131, p=0.434, p=0.325, p=0.509, respectively). Although ACA was lower in
Group 1 the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.057).
Conclusion: Although not statistically significant, there seems to be a tendency for shallow ACA
readings in unilateral ODM eyes when compared to normal contralateral eyes. However, more studies
with larger number of patients that evaluate this issue are needed.
