Endothelial cell study in a case of Werner's syndrome undergoing phacoemulsification and Yettrium-Aluminum-Garnet laser capsulotomy.
[werner syndrome]
Werner
's
syndrome
(
WS
)
is
a
rare
autosomal
recessive
disorder
with
multisystem
manifestations
of
premature
aging
from
the
second
decade
of
life
.
Cataract
is
one
of
the
features
of
WS
.
Cataract
surgery
is
complicated
with
postoperative
wound
dehiscence
and
bullous
keratopathy
when
the
surgery
is
done
by
intracapsular
or
conventional
extracapsular
method
.
We
report
the
short
-term
result
of
phacoemulsification
and
Neodymimum
Yettrium-
Aluminum-
Garnet
laser
(
Nd
YAG
)
capsulotomy
in
a
case
of
WS
with
bilateral
cataracts
.
Postoperatively
and
post
capsulotomy
,
there
was
no
change
in
the
endothelial
cell
morphology
.
There
was
an
8
.
6
%
decrease
in
endothelial
cell
count
at
the
end
of
15
months
postoperatively
and
11
months
post
YAG
capsulotomy
.
This
decrease
is
within
the
acceptable
range
of
cell
loss
after
phacoemulsification
and
YAG
capsulotomy
.
To
the
best
of
our
knowledge
,
this
is
the
first
reported
case
of
YAG
laser
capsulotomy
in
WS
.
