Abstract

Retinal vein occlusion is the most common retinal vascular disease after diabetic retinopathy. An occlusion that affects the entire retinal venous system at the level of the lamina cribrosa is called central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). One of the major complications that threaten visual acuity in CRVO patients is macular edema. Intravitreal dexamethasone implant is widely used in the treatment of macular edema. Efficacy has been shown in terms of short-term edema resolution and increased visual acuity. It seems that the effect on the macula decreases on average in the third month. It is a good option for patients who need to reduce the number of visits. There is no additional side effect except an increase in the incidence of cataracts with recurrent injections. Increasing of intraocular pressure appears to be a tolerable side effect. Their activities are reduced when they are done every six months or when the initial application period is long. Intravitreal steroid treatment is an effective alternative for macular edema secondary to CRVO.

Özet

Retina ven tıkanıklığı (RVT) diyabetik retinopatiden sonra en sık görülen retinal vasküler hastalıktır. Lamina kribroza seviyesinde bütün retina venöz sistemini etkileyen bir tıkanıklık santral retina ven tıkanıklığı (SRVT) olarak isimlendirilir. SRVT’de görmeyi tehdit eden majör komplikasyonlardan birisi maküla ödemidir. Makula ödeminin tedavisinde intravitreal deksametazon implantı yaygın bir şekilde kullanılmaktadır. Kısa dönem ödem rezolüsyonu ve görme keskinliğinde artış sağlaması açısından etkinliği gösterilmiştir. Makula ödemi üzerindeki etkisi ortalama üçüncü ayda azalıyor gibi görünmektedir. Vizit sayısının azaltılması gereken hastalar için iyi bir seçenek olmuştur. Tekrarlayan enjeksiyonların katarakt insidansında artışa neden olması dışında herhangi ek bir yan etkisi yoktur. Göz içi basınç artışı tolere edilebilir bir yan etkisi olarak gözükmektedir. Altı ayda bir enjeksiyon yapılan veya ilk başvuru süresi uzun olan olgularda etkinlikleri azalmaktadır. İntravitreal steroid ajanları SRVT’ye sekonder makula ödemlerinde iyi bir alternatif olarak durmaktadır.
