Abstract

A 73-year-old known glaucoma patient presenting with macular edema secondary to central retinal vein occlusion was treated with intravitreal triamcinolon injection. Visual acuity increased within the first 2 months without any IOP increase, however, at the end of 2 months he returned with signs resembling malignant glaucoma and intraocular pressure could be controlled only after pars plana vitrectomy. This case implies that, eyes with CRVO and known glaucoma may be at a higher risk for such complication as intractable glaucoma and must be evaluated meticulously before intravitreal triamcinolon injection.

Özet

Yetmiş üç yaşında bilinen bir glokom olgusuna, santral retinal ven tıkanıklığı’na bağlı gelişen maküla ödeminin tedavisi için intravitreal triamsinolon uygulandı. Bu tedavi sonrasında erken dönemde göz içi basınç artışı olmaksızın görme artışı sağlanırken 2 ay sonrasında ani başlayan malign glokomu düşündüren bulgular gelişti ve ancak pars plana vitrektomi sonrası göz içi basınç kontrolü sağlanabildi. Bu olgu bilinen glokomu olan santral retinal ven tıkanıklığı hastalarında dirençli glokom gibi komplikasyonların gelişme ihtimalinin daha yüksek olabileceğini ve bu nedenle intravitreal triamsinolon enjeksiyonu öncesinde bu yönden daha dikkatle değerlendirilmesi gerektiğini vurgulamaktadır.
