Abstract

Neovascular glaucoma(NVG) is a devastating ocular disease that often results in loss of vision and loss of eye in some cases. The standard care includes retinal ablation in retinal ischemic diseases and control of increased intraocular pressure with medical and surgical therapy. Mediators that induce new vessel formation such as the vascular endothelial growth factor seem to play a key role in the pathophysiology of this condition. Over the past years several new agents targeting VEGF have become commercially available for intraocular use and intraocular use of anti-VEGF drugs have revolutionized the care of neovascular glaucoma. Recommendations for the diagnosis of NVG include a high index of suspicion, a full ocular examination including undilated gonioscopy, and pupil examination. In regard to treatment, recommendations include treatment of the underlying disease, complete panretinal photocoagulation if retinal ischemia is a factor (especially in proliferative diabetic retinopathy), adjunctive intravitreal injections of anti- VEGF drugs and medical control of both elevated intraocular pressure and inflammation. Glaucoma surgery can be recommended to control intraocular pressure when medical therapy is not successful alone. Currently, trabeculectomy with antimetabolite therapy, aqueous shunt implants, and diode laser cyclophotocoagulation are the preferred surgical treatment options. Adjunctive intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF drugs previous to the surgery seems to be very helpful in reducing complications of glaucoma surgery and having higher success rates in NVG cases.

Özet

Neovasküler Glokom (NVG) tedavisi oldukça güç olan, gözü tehdit eden klinik durumlar arasındadır. Olguların çoğunluğunda şiddetli görme kayıpları gelişmekte, bir kısmında ise göz kayıplarına kadar gidebilmektedir. Standart tedavi retinal iskemik olgularda retinal ablasyon ve göz içi basıncının medikal ve cerrahi tedavilerle kontroludur. NVG’un patogenezinde VEGF’ün kilit rol oynadığının gösterilmiş olmasından sonra intraokuler uygulanabilen anti- VEGF ilaçların ticari olarak sunulması ve kullanılması ile NVG tedavisinde devrim niteliğinde değişimler olmuştur. Başarılı bir tedavi , NVG gelişiminden şüphe duymak ve erken tanı ile mümkün olabilir. Pupili dilate etmeden yapılan bir gonyoskopiyi ve pupil muayenesini de içeren tam bir okuler muayene erken tanı için önemlidir. Tedavi açısından bakıldığında altta yatan hastalığın tedavisi gerekmektedir. İskemik olgularda, özellikle de diyabetik olgularda tam panretinal fotokoagulasyon-kriyoablasyona ilave olarak anti-VEGF ajanların göziçine uygulanması, antienflamatuar tedavi ve glokom ilaçlarına başvurulur. Glokom ilaçlarının basıncı tam olarak kontrol edemediği olgularda antimetabolitlerle kombine trabekülektomi, aköz şunt implantları ve diod lazer sisklodestrüksiyonu gibi cerrahi tedavilere geçilmelidir. Cerrahi tedavi öncesinde göziçine uygulanan anti-VEGF ajanlar cerrahinin komplikasyonlarını azaltacağı gibi başarı oranlarını da yükseltecektir
