Article Brucellosis and Uveitis(Amer Soc Contemporary Medicine Surgery & Ophthalmology, 2008) Karahocagil, Mustafa Kasim; Demirok, Ahmet; Kilic, Adil; Cinal, Adnan; Caksen, Hueseyin; Yasar, TekinA 30-year-old-lady, (Case 1) was found to have brucella uveitis in her left eye. Serum agglutination (SAT) and SAT/Coombs titers were positive at 1:320 and 1:160, respectively. In Case 2, a 12-year-old-girl diagnosis of left brucellosis uveitis was made. Both SAT and SAT/Coombs titers were positive at 1:1280. This report confirms that Brucellae organisms as a cause of uveitis.Article Comparing Biometry in Normal Eyes of Children With Unilateral Cataract/Corneal Disease To Age-Matched Controls(Nepal Ophthalmic Soc, 2015) Gul, Adem; Cinal, Adnan; Caglar, Cagatay; Yasar, Tekin; Kilic, AdilObjective: To compare ocular biometry and central corneal thickness of unaffected healthy eyes of pediatric patients with monocular cataracts/corneal opacities and age-matched controls. Materials and methods: We studied 329 eyes of 329 children who were between 1 and 12 years old. The study group (n: 164) consisted of healthy fellow eyes of children operated for unilateral congenital/traumatic cataract and corneal laceration. Axial length, anterior chamber depth, lens thickness, vitreous chamber depth, and central corneal thickness were measured by ultrasound biometry/pachymetry. Results: Axial length was 22.16 mm in the study group and 21.99 mm in the control group. Anterior chamber depth, lens thickness, and vitreous chamber depth results were 3.35; 3.64 and 15.20 in the treatment group and 3.20; 3.63, and 15.15 mm in the control group, respectively. The axial length and all the components, i.e. anterior chamber depth, lens thickness, and vitreous chamber depth are higher in the unaffected healthy eyes of the pediatric patients than that of the control group but only the difference in the anterior chamber depth was statistically significant. The central corneal thickness was 548 microns and 559 microns in the study and the control groups, respectively, and the difference was found to be significant. Conclusion: Greater anterior chamber depth was chiefly responsible for the overall increase in the axial length in the study group. The central corneal thickness was significantly thinner in the study group than that of the control group.Article Conjunctival Myxoma: a Clinicopathologic Report(Slack inc, 2008) Kilic, Adil; Kosem, Mustafa; Demirok, Ahmet; Cinal, Adnan; Yasar, TekinA conjunctival myxoma was identified in a specimen obtained from a 45-year-old woman via excisional biopsy. The patient presented with a slowly growing painless epibulbar mass. The paucicellular tumor included stellate and spindle-shaped cells, mast cells, and dilated lymphatic channels embedded in a loose collagenous matrix. The differential diagnosis of conjunctival myxoma should include tumors that have myxoid patterns and richly myxoid malignant neoplasms.

Ibrahim; Kilic, AdilWe evaluated neodymium-doped yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser posterior capsulotomy procedure with or without anesthesia in 35 pediatric eyes and 51 adult eyes. We concluded that Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomies in children are similar to adults in general aspects and that Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy can be performed safely and effectively in children under topical or no anesthesia.Article Ocular Biometry and Central Corneal Thickness in Children: a Hospital-Based Study(Consel Brasil oftalmologia, 2014) Gul, Adem; Caglar, Cagatay; Cinal, Adnan; Yasar, Tekin; Kilic, AdilPurpose: To investigate the distribution of axial length, anterior chamber depth, lens thickness, vitreous chamber depth, and central corneal thickness in children at different age groups. Methods: We studied 364 eyes in 182 children with ages between 1 and 12 years. Axial length, anterior chamber depth, lens thickness, and vitreous chamber depth were measured by ultrasound biometry. Central corneal thickness was measured by ultrasound pachymetry in all children. Results: The mean age was 6.54 +/- 3.42 years. The axial length was 20.95 mm in 1-2 years old and 22.95 mm in 11-12 years old. The central corneal thickness was 556 mu m in 1-2 years old and 555 mu m in 11-12 years old. The mean anterior chamber depth and vitreous chamber depth increased with age (3.06 mm to 3.44 mm in anterior chamber depth, 13.75 mm to 15.99 mm in vitreous chamber depth), and the lens thickness decreased as age increased (3.67-3.51 mm). Conclusion: The axial length increased with age and reached adult levels by the age of 9-10 years. The lens thickness gradually decreased until 12 years. The central corneal thickness measurements did not yield a linear algorithm.Article Periorbital Cellulitis Caused by Bacillus Thuringiensis(Wichtig Editore, 2010) Peker, Erdal; Cagan, Eren; Dogan, Murat; Kilic, Adil; Caksen, Huseyin; Yesilmen, OsmanPURPOSE. Periorbital cellulitis is an inflammation of the lids and periorbital tissues without signs of true involvement such as proptosis or limitation of eye movement. METHODS. Bacillus thuringiensis is a Gram-positive, spore-forming soil bacterium with the ability to produce insecticidal crystal proteins. B thuringiensis is an extremely rare causative organism of orbital and periorbital infections. However, it was rarely seen isolated in pediatric cases with preseptal cellulites. Ocular infections of this bacteria quickly progress, within 12-48 hours from inoculation, leading to endophthalmitis or panophthalmitis and irreversible vision loss. RESULTS. Periorbital cellulitis should be recognized promptly and treated carefully. Hospitalization, prompt systemic antibiotic therapy, and careful monitoring for signs of sepsis and local invasion are critical. CONCLUSIONS. We report a rare presentation of periorbital cellulitis caused by B thuringiensis.

Material and Method: In this study, we retrospectively investigated 855 eyes of 678 uveitis patients who were examined and followed in Yuzuncu Yil University, Ophthalmology Department between 1996 and 2008. Results: The mean age of the patients was 29.86 +/- 16.01 (range 1-79) years. 403 (59.4%) were male and 275 (40.6%) patients were female. Monocular involvement was present in 501 (73.9%), while binocular involvement was observed in 177 (26.1%) patients. According to the involved area, 395 (58.3%) patients had anterior, 85 (12.5%) intermediate, 33 (4.9%) posterior and 165 (24.3%) patients had panuveitis. No accompanying findings were detected in 406 (59.9%) patients. The most frequent accompanying disease was Behcet's disease seen in 109 (16.1%) patients. Discussion: In this study, the profile of uveitis of Van and the surrounding provinces was revealed. We think that this study is important, because it reflects the profile of uveitis of the Eastern part and together with data obtained from the other parts of Turkey, it will contribute to the development of uveitis map of the country.Article Protective Effects of Melatonin on Oxidative-Antioxidative Balance and Cataract Formation in Rats(Amer Soc Contemporary Medicine Surgery & Ophthalmology, 2008) Kilic, Adil; Selek, Sahbettin; Erel, Oezcan; Aksoy, NurtenWe investigated the effects of melatonin on cataract formation in rats exposed to selenite. We concluded that the imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants plays an important role in cataract formation and melatonin decreases cataract incidence in rats by increasing antioxidant activity.Article The Risk Factors of Pterygium Development: a Hospital-Based Study(Amer Soc Contemporary Medicine Surgery & Ophthalmology, 2008) Demirok, Ahmet; Cinal, Adnan; Yener, H. Ibrahim; Yasar, Tekin; Kilic, AdilWe evaluated the risk factors for pterygium development in Eastern Turkey. Mean protrusion value of all eyes with pterygium (all eyes in bilateral pterygium subgroups and only eyes with pterygium in unilateral pterygium subgroup, n = 130) was 16.76 +/- 2.69 mm. In all cases pterygium occurred in the eye that had greater protrusion value suggesting greater protrusion degree might be a risk factor.Article Scleral Buckling Technique for Longstanding Inferior Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachments With Subretinal Bands(Humana Press inc, 2008) Ozdek, Sengul; Kilic, Adil; Gurelik, Gokhan; Hasanreisoglu, BeratiWe investigated the effectiveness and safety of conventional surgery on longstanding retinal detachments (RD) with subretinal bands (SRB). We found that conventional surgery were safe and effective method in the treatment of inferior chronic rhegmatogenous RD cases with SRB without other signs of advanced proliferative vitreopathy. Further studies with larger numbers and longer follow up are needed.
