The aim of the present study was to determine the level of Tumor necrosis factor-alpha in aqueous humor and serum of patients with pseudo exfoliation syndrome. The materials and methods in this study, we measured the level of Tumor necrosis factor-alpha, in aqueous and serum of patients with pseudo exfoliation syndrome and compared the findings with healthy controls. The Results are Regarding Aqueous humor, the level of Tumor necrosis factor-alpha in PXS group was significantly higher than those of the control group (3.97 ±2.241 vs.2.54 ±0.713 pg/ml, P=0.02). The serum level of Tumor necrosis factor-alpha in PXS group was significantly higher than those of the control group (8.70±1.83 vs.7.03±1.85 pg/ml; p=0.001). In Conclusion the results suggest that level of Tumor necrosis factor-alpha rose in aqueous and serum of pseudo exfoliation syndrome.
