Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravitreal ranibizumab therapy in patients with choroidal neovascularization secondary to age related macular degeneration. Material and Method: Twenty-eight patients (31 eyes) who have followed for choroidal neovascularization between September 2010 - May 2012 were included in the study. Before and after intravitreal ranibizumab therapy (0.05 mg) detailed ophthalmologic examination of patients and optical coherence tomography were performed, visual acuity was. Patients were followed up monthly. Results: Mean age of the patients was 70 (50-85 years). Seven (25%) were women and 21 (75%) were male. Mean follow-up time was 11 months (3-20 months). Before intravitreal ranibizumab treatment, mean visual acuity was logMAR 0.59, mean foveal thickness was 356 microns. Average 3.5 injections were performed to patients. At last examination, mean visual acuity was logMAR 0.43, mean foveal thickness was 294 microns. Five (18%) patients gained 15 letters or more. None patients lost 15 letters or more. Improvement of visual acuity and decrease in foveal thickness was statistically significant (p <0.05). In patients, no serious local or systemic complications were occurred related to injections. Conclusion: Increase in mean visual acuity and decrease in mean foveal thickness was detected with intravitreal ranibizumab therapy for choroidal neovascularization. Intravitreal ranibizumab can be a treatment option in patients with choroidal neovascularization.

Özet

Amaç: Yaşa bağlı maküla dejenerasyonuna ikincil koroid neovaskülarizasyonu gelişen hastalarda intravitreal ranibizumab tedavisinin etkinliği ve güvenirliğinin araştırılması. Gereç ve Yöntem: Eylül 2010- Mayıs 2012 tarihleri arasında koroid neovaskülarizasyonu nedeniyle takip edilen 28 hastanın 31 gözü çalışmaya dahil edildi. İntravitreal ranibizumab tedavisi (0,05 mg) öncesi ve sonrası hastaların ayrıntılı oftalmolojik muayeneleri yapıldı, görme keskinliklerine bakıldı ve optik koherans tomografileri çekildi. Hastalar aylık kontrollere çağrıldı. Bulgular: Hastaların ortalama yaşı 70 (50-85 yıl) idi. Yedisi (%25) kadın, 21’i (%75) erkekti. Ortalama takip süresi 11 ay (3-20 ay) idi. İntravitreal ranibizumab tedavisi öncesi ortalama görme keskinliği logMAR 0,59, ortalama fovea kalınlığı 356 mikrondu. Hastalara ortalama 3,5 enjeksiyon yapıldı. Son muayenede ortalama görme keskinliği logMAR 0,43, ortalama fovea kalınlığı 294 mikron olarak saptandı. Beş (%18) hastada üç sıra ve daha fazla görme keskinliği artışı saptandı. Hiçbir hastada üç sıra ve daha fazla görme keskinliği kaybı görülmedi. Görme keskinliğindeki artış ve fovea kalınlığındaki azalma istatiksel olarak anlamlı bulundu (p<0,05)(paired t test). Hastalarda enjeksiyonlara bağlı ciddi lokal ya da sistemik komplikasyon görülmedi. Sonuç: Koroid neovaskülarizasyonunda, intravitreal ranibizumab tedavisi ile ortalama görme keskinliğinde artma ve ortalama fovea kalınlığında azalma saptanmıştır. İntravitreal ra nibizumab uygulaması koroid neovaskülarizasyonu gelişen olgularda tedavi seçeneği olabilir
