소아에서 스테로이드 유발 백내장의 임상양상과 수술치료의 결과 = Clinical Manifestations and Surgical Results of Steroid-Induced Cataract in Children

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Purpose: To reveal the incidence and clinical manifestations of steroid-induced cataract, and to evaluate the visual outcome after cataract surgery in children. Methods: We reviewed the charts of the pediatric patients who had been receiving oral prednisolone for at least one year and had visited the ophthalmologic clinic between January 1991 and December 2006, and enrolled the patients who had been diagnosed as having steroid-induced cataracts. We investigated the total dose and duration of medication and compared the visual acuity (VA) at the initial visit with that of the last follow-up. We also compared the pre- and post-operative best corrected visual acuity of the patients who had undergone cataract operation. Results: Among the 1408 patients who had been treated with systemic steroids for over one year, lens opacities were found in 92 eyes (2.5%). The total duration and dose of medication were not significantly correlated with the VA (R2<0.1). The lens opacities were found bilaterally in 88 eyes (91.7%), and unilaterally in 4 eyes (8.3%). The posterior subcapsular opacities were the most frequent (84.8%). In 81 eyes who had not undergone surgery, there was no significant change of VA (p=1). The 11 eyes who had undergone cataract surgery showed significant increases in VA (p<0.01). Conclusions: The incidence of steroid-induced cataract in pediatric patients was 2.5%. The dose and duration of medication were not significantly correlated with the visual impairment. There was no significant change in VA during the follow-up. The surgical outcome of the cataract operation was favorable.
