The diameter of the ciliary sulcus : a morphometric study

Abstract: Based on a precise definition of boundaries of the ciliary sulcus, a new anatomical method was used to measure the diameter of the ciliary sulcus in postmortem eyes. In each of 41 globes, 24 different ciliary sulcus diameters were measured and were compared with the axial length, measured by ultrasonography. The mean ciliary sulcus diameter was 11.25 mm (SD = 0.38 mm). By linear regression, the axial length values were significantly correlated with ciliary sulcus diameters. In addition, our data suggest that e… Show more

“…To our knowledge, the only studies of age-related changes in the ciliary sulcus were anatomic evaluations [32][33][34] ; there are no reports in the literature of the variation in these 2 parameters in pseudophakic eyes. This suggests that during accommodation, there is not only centripetal movement of ciliary processes, as shown by ciliary ring diameter variation, but also of all structures of the posterior chamber.…”

“…Kim KHve ark. 7 1 Fakat kadavra gözlerinde yapılan ölçümler doku deformasyonu nedeniyle in vivo koşulları tam olarak yansıtmayabilirler. Ayrıca kadavra gözlerinde foveal fiksasyon söz konusu olamayacağına göre göze ait aksiyel uzunluk, keratometri ya da ön kamara derinliği gibi parametreleri hassas bir şekilde ölçüp sulkus çapı ile ilişkisini fizyolojik koşullarda değerlendirmek mümkün olamayacaktır.…”

“…Postmortem gözlerde yapılan çalışmalarda sulkus çapının yaşla birlikte değiştiği saptanmıştır 1,2 . Ancak literatürde yaş ortalaması yüksek hastalarda ya da senil kataraktı olanlarda ultrasonik biyomikroskop (UBM) ile ortalama sulkus çapını değerlendiren bir çalışmaya rastlanmamıştır.…”

“…Additionally, previous reports have revealed correlations among the sulcus diameter, horizontal white-to-white distance (WTW), and ocular axial length (AL). 15 Based on these studies, it is reasonable to suspect that these values may be clinically correlated with the distance of the corneal limbus anterior border to the sulcus.…”
