Queratocono en edad pediátrica: características clínico-refractivas y evolución. Centro de Especialidades Médicas Fundación Donum, Cuenca, Ecuador, 2015-2018

Abstract: queratometría media, paquimetría en el punto más delgado y cilindro refractivo, en dos momentos. Se empleó el análisis de varianza (ANOVA) de medidas repetidas para un factor con ajuste del intervalo de confianza por Bonferroni y valor p. Resultados: Se obtuvo un aumento estadísticamente significativo entre el valor promedio de queratometría media de la muestra en el momento del diagnóstico (49.6 D) y el valor promedio de queratometría media a los 3 años de seguimiento (52.4 D) (p = 0.02; α = 0.05); una dismin… Show more

“…However, almost 25% of patients were in stage 4 at diagnosis, which is a considerable percentage and similar to that reported in previous studies conducted in pediatric populations. 17 When staged according to the Belin ABCD scale, the most frequent classification was A2 (35.6%), B4 (48.0%), and C0 (35.6%), with the posterior curvature radius being a severity criterion at diagnosis in this group of patients.…”

“…At the time of diagnosis, 27.8% of patients younger than 15 years have keratoconus at stage 4, compared with 7.8% of older patients. 17 In addition, 88% of patients between 9 and 19 years of age will experience disease progression. 18 Previously, corneal topography was considered the gold standard for diagnosing corneal ectasias; however, the main limitation of the study lies in the fact that it only evaluates the anterior surface of the cornea, overlooking alterations in the posterior surface present in earlier stages of the disease.…”

“…Por lo general, es el resultado de una combinación de factores genéticos y ambientales. (1,2) La investigación de este trabajo es dar a conocer los nuevos tratamientos terapéuticos que existen en la actualidad del queratocono, un ejemplo de esto y principal medida a seguir es evitar los factores de riesgo como ejemplo de este es el frotamiento ocular debido a alergias por lo tanto es de importancia evaluar con un especialista en el área oftalmológica donde se puede recetar los fármacos adecuados, específicamente se basa en el manejo clínico del paciente, también existen otras opciones terapéuticas como anteojos y lentes de contacto. Si se visualiza una evolución progresiva uno de los tratamientos que se realizara es el crosslinking, anillos intraestromales.…”
