[Cyclopexy on cyclodialysis cleft guided by anterior segment optic coherence tomography].

Objective: To analyze the accuracy of cyclopexy on traumatic cyclodialysis cleft guided by anterior segment optic coherence tomography (AS-OCT). Methods: Fifty-six eyes of 56 consecutive patients[41 males, 15 females, with a mean age of (43.14±13.85) years]who diagnosed with traumatic cyclodialysis cleft confirmed by ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and underwent cyclopexy surgery at Shanxi Eye Hosiptal from July 2013 to February 2016 were included in the study. Patients were measured with the AS-OCT system before cyclopexy. AS-OCT findings of the cyclodialysis clefts were recorded. Localizing and suturing the clefts was guided by AS-OCT imaging. Preoperative and postoperative visual acuity (VA), intraocular pressure (IOP) and anterior chamber depth (ACD) were recorded and analyzed. Results: Imaging of preoperative AS-OCT of the 56 eyes showed an annular ciliary body detachment, a cyclodialysis cleft and shallow anterior chamber. The ciliary body detachment detected by AS-OCT showed an echo free zone between the annular ciliary body and the sclera. The cyclodialysis cleft showed a new pathway between the anterior chamber and the suprachoroidal space. AS-OCT imaging showed that the extent of cyclodialysis clefts ranged from 30 degrees to 240 degrees, which had a 0 degree to 20 degrees difference compared with UBM imaging. Localizing and suturing of the cyclodialysis clefts was guided by AS-OCT imaging. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.21±0.17 at baseline and 0.29±0.21 at five days postoperatively. The initial and final BCVA showed a remarkable difference after treatment (t=-4.98, P<0.01). The mean intra-ocular pressure (IOP) was (8.33±2.29) mmHg before surgery and (15.40±2.34) mmHg at five days postoperatively. There was a significant difference of IOP between preoperative and postoperative period (t=-16.590, P<0.01). The mean ACD was (1.94±0.45) mm preoperatively and (2.69±0.44) mm at five days postoperatively. There was also a significant difference of ACD between preoperative and postoperative period (t=-10.276, P<0.01). The postoperative reexamination found that ciliary body detachment or cyclodialysis clefts was not observed in the 56 eyes by AS-OCT. Conclusions: As a non-invasive method, AS-OCT is accurate, correlating well with UBM in the examination of cyclodialysis cleft, and can localize the extent of clefts before cyclopexy.
