Evaluation of Anterior Segment Parameters in Patients with Neurofibromatosis Type 1

Purpose To evaluate anterior segment parameters in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) in comparison to healthy individuals. Methods A total of 34 eyes from 17 patients with NF1 and 34 eyes from 17 age- and sex-matched healthy individuals were included in this study. Each participant underw...

Description
Summary:Purpose To evaluate anterior segment parameters in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) in comparison to healthy individuals. Methods A total of 34 eyes from 17 patients with NF1 and 34 eyes from 17 age- and sex-matched healthy individuals were included in this study. Each participant underwent a comprehensive ophthalmic assessment including best-corrected visual acuity, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, stereoscopic fundus examination, and intraocular pressure. Central corneal thickness, corneal volume, corneal curvatures (K1 and K2), anterior chamber depth, anterior chamber volume, iridocorneal angle, and pupil size values were measured by Pentacam Scheimpflug camera. Results The mean anterior chamber depth, iridocorneal angle, and anterior chamber volume measurements revealed significantly lower values when compared with the control group (p
