Clinical Case Notes

Abstract: Raised intraocular pressure and glaucoma have rarely been associated with use of periorbital corticosteroids for dermatological conditions such as blepharitis and eczema. Three cases are described in which periorbital topical corticosteroids appear to have resulted in raised intraocular pressure or glaucoma. Topical corticosteroids used for dermatological conditions around the face and eyes are often regarded as being fairly innocuous with regard to ocular side-effects. This case series demonstrates that secon… Show more

“…[8][9][10] Several case reports suggest that frequent application of topical corticosteroids over longer periods of time on the eyelids and periorbital region may induce glaucoma in patients with AD. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] Based on location there are 5 types of cataracts, namely nuclear, cortical, anterior subcapsular (AS), posterior subcapsular (PS), and a combination of these. Age-related cataracts are the nuclear or cortical types, diabetes-related cataracts are cortical or PS types, and cataracts associated with cigarette smoking are nuclear or PS types.…”

“…29 O tratamento com prednisona objetivou uma possível comparação de efeitos entre o AINE e o AIE nos níveis da PIO, com base no conhecimento a respeito do efeito hipertensivo ocular com o uso de AIE. 16,17,18,19 Todos os grupos apresentaram valores médios de PIO dentro dos limites considerados seguros 9 , em todas as avaliações (Tabela 1). Os valores da PIO nos grupos A, B e C não diferiram, em média, ao longo das avaliações tomadas nos dois horários e entre os dias 0 (zero) e 5 (cinco).…”

“…15,29,30 A escolha da prednisona baseou-se na revisão de literatura a respeito do efeito hipertensivo ocular dos corticóides 16,17,18,19,20,21,22 e para efeito de comparação com o grupo tratado com o meloxicam, o corticóide foi administrado pela mesma via de administração e utilizado pelo mesmo período de tratamento.…”

“…[2][3][4][5] With steroid application on eyelid skin, increased IOP seems less common, but there are no controlled prospective studies available and several case studies attest to the fact that in long-term treatment, this risk should not be overlooked. [6][7][8] As a consequence, regular ophthalmologic examinations are recommended. Another feared complication following prolonged steroid treatment is skin atrophy.…”
