摘要：

Earlier literature reports that abnormal optic disc shape or size seem to be closely associated with the shape or size of the cornea. Here we search for an association between the presence of tilted disc syndrome and the central corneal thickness. Sixty-one eyes of 61 patients with tilted disc syndrome were included in the study. Sixty-one eyes of 61 subjects were chosen as controls. Corneal thickness was evaluated with ultrasound pachymetry from the central region after instillation of topical proparacaine hydrochloride and before the ophthalmologic examination. The mean central corneal thickness in the tilted disc syndrome group was found to be 547.5 ± 36.16 μm (median 546, range 467 to 638). The mean central corneal thickness in the control group was measured as 541.09 ± 29.52 μm (median 540, range 500 to 627). There was no statistically significant difference in corneal thickness between the tilted disc syndrome group and control group (p = 0.218). There seems to be no correlation between the central corneal thickness and the presence of tilted disc syndrome. © 2008 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.
