Özet
Background:Subacromial corticosteroid injection is one of the most commonly used procedures to treat subacromial impingement syndrome. Despite their significant efficacy, corticosteroids have several serious adverse effects, including increased intraocular pressure (IOP) and visual loss. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of subacromial corticosteroid injections on IOP.Materials and Methods:42 patients with impingement syndrome, who received subacromial corticosteroid injection, were included in the study. Patients received a single dose of betamethasone. IOP was monitored using a tonometer prior to injection, 24 hours after injection, and one week following injection.Results:The average age of the patients was 52.1 +/- 9.0, and 31 (74%) of them were female. Patients' mean IOP values were 16.0 +/- 2.6 mmHg, 16.4 +/- 2.4 mmHg, and 16.1 +/- 2.31 mmHg before injection, one day after injection, and one week after injection, respectively. Repeated ANOVA tests revealed no statistically significant difference between the three measurements (P=0.386). Age, gender, history of diabetes, and history of hypertension didn't have a significant effect on IOP change after corticosteroid injection. Those with a family history of glaucoma had a significantly greater increase in IOP on day 1 post-injection than those without (P=0.05).Conclusions:This is the first study to examine the effect of subacromial corticosteroid injections on IOP change. While a single subacromial steroid injection has no statistically significant effect on IOP change, care should be taken, particularly in susceptible individuals and those who need repeated injections.
