Özet
Aim: In this study, we aimed to present the etiological causes and clinical features of the patients followed for anisocoria and to determine the most common causes according to age groups.Material and Methods: The medical records of the patients aged 18 years and over who were followed up for anisocoria between June 2017 and December 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Two groups were formed including patients aged 18-45 as Group 1 and patients over 45 years old as Group 2. The etiological causes were divided into 4 groups as physiological anisocoria, pharmacological anisocoria, ocular pathologies and nervous system pathologies. It was examined whether there was a difference between the two groups in terms of four main etiological reasons.Results: A total of 99 patients followed for anisocoria between January 2017 and December 2022 were included in the study analysis. The most common cause of anisocoria was found to be due to ocular pathologies (64 eyes, 64.6%). The second most common etiologic cause was found to be physiological anisocoria (20 eyes, 20.2%). Anisocoria was observed in 12 (12.1%) patients due to neurogenic dysfunction and in 3 (3%) patients due to pharmacological effects. There was no statistically significant difference between groups 1 and 2 according to etiological causes (p=0.089).Discussion: The ocular pathologies were found to be the most common cause of anisocoria. The most common ocular causes detected also varied in parallel to demographic changes. There is a need for descriptive studies of the etiology of anisocoria with a higher number of participants.
