アトピー性白内障手術例の性差

Gender distribution of operated atopic cataract

（26A-5）　2施設で手術を行った35歳以下のアトピー性白内障52例75眼を検討した。網膜剥離は男9眼，女2眼に併発していた。網膜剥離のないアトピー性白内障64眼は，男45眼（70％），女19眼（30％）であった。左右差はなかった。アトピー性白内障は女より男に進行増悪することが示された。

We reviewed 75 eyes in 52 cases of atopic cataract operated in two institutions. All the cases were aged 35 years or less. Retinal detachment was detected in 11 eyes in 9 males and 2 females. Atopic cataract without retinal detach-ment was present in 45 males (70%) and 19 females (30%). Both eyes were equally involved. The finding shows that males are more prone to develop advanced atopic cataract than females.
