Abstract

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of vitrectomy on visual prognosis in idiopathic epiretinal membranes. METHOD: Vitrectomy is applied in 16 cases with epiretinal membranes. Various intravitreal instruments and diamond dust coated flexible cannula of Tano is used in surgery. RESULTS: Total 16 eyes of 16 patients (9 female, 7 male; ages ranging between 19 and 67) included in the study. Five cases were associated with cystoid macular edema and 3 with macular holes. Posterior vitreous detachments were seen in 69% of cases. Visual acuities increased in 75% of cases and didn't change in 25 %. Complications were small retinal hemorrhages in 3, macular hole in 1, and mild nuclear sclerosis in 4 cases. CONCLUSION: Vitrectomy provides significant visual enhancements by removing macular tractions in patients with idiopathic epiretinal membranes.

Özet

AMAÇ: İdyopatik epiretinal membranlarda (ERM) vitrektominin görme prognozuna etkisini araştırmak. YÖNTEM: 16 İdyopatik ERM'lı olguya vitrektomi yapıldı. Membranların çıkartılmasında çeşitli intravitreal enstrümanlar ve Tano'nun elmas tozlarıyla kaplı fleksibl kanülü kullanıldı. BULGULAR: Çalışmaya 19-67 yaşları arasında, 9'u kadın, 7'si erkek 16 hastanın 16 gözü alında. 16 olgunun 5'i kistoid maküler ödem (KMÖ), 3'ü makula holü ile birlikteydi. Posterior vitre dekolmanı (PVD) olguların % 69'unda vardı, % 31'inde yoktu. Postoperatif olarak olguların % 75'inde görmede artış olurken, % 25'inde değişmedi. Komplikasyon olarak 3 olguda küçük retinal kanama, 1 olguda makula holü, 4 olguda hafif derecede nükleer skleroz gelişti. SONUÇ: İdyopatik ERM'lı olgularda vitrektomi maküler traksiyonları ortadan kaldırarak görmeyi önemli ölçüde artırmaktadır.
