Abstract

Purpose: To investigate the effect of 8 mg/0.2 ml intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injection on macular edema and visual acuity in patients with diabetes mellitus. Material and Method: Thirty-one eyes of 31 patients (mean age: 58.1±12.0 years) with diabetic macular edema were included in the study. In all eyes, macular edema and visual acuity were determined with HRTII before and at the first month, second month, third month and at the last visits after intravitreal injection of 8 mg/0.2 ml triamcinolone. Edema map value (EMV) determined with HRTII was used for the evaluation of macular edema. Data were evaluated and analyzed with variance analysis, post-ANOVA Tukey and Dunnett tests. Results: Mean EMVs before and after intravitreal triamcinolone injection at the 1. month, 2. month, 3. month and at the last visits were 2.2±0.8, 1.8±0.6 mmHg, 1.7±0.5 mmHg, 1.6±0.5 and 1.6±0.5, respectively. EMVs determined at the control examinations after injection were statistically significant when compared with pretreatment values (P>.001). An increase in visual acuities was observed in 90.3% of patients, whereas it did not change in 3 eyes. Conclusion: Intravitreal injection of 8 mg/0.2 ml of triamcinolone acetonide is very effective and safe in treatment of diabetic macular edema and provides improvement in visual acuities of patients.

Özet

Amaç: Diabetes mellituslu hastalarda 8 mg/0.2 ml intravitreal triamsinolon asetonid enjeksiyonunun maküla ödemi ve görme keskinliği üzerine etkisinin incelenmesi. Gereç ve Yöntem: Diabetik maküla ödemi tanısı konan, yaş ortalaması: 58.1±12.0 yıl olan 31 hastanın 31 gözü çalışma kapsamına alındı. Tüm olgularda, 8 mg/0.2 ml intravitreal triamsinolon enjeksiyonu öncesi ve sonrası 1. ay, 2. ay, 3. ay ve son takiplerinde maküla ödemi ve görme keskinliği değerlendirildi. Maküla ödemi değerlendirmesinde HRTII ile saptanan ödem haritası değeri (ÖHD) kullanıldı. Bulguların istatistiksel değerlendirilmesi ve analizi için varyans analizi, post-ANOVA test olarak Tukey ve Dunnett testleri kullanıldı. Bulgular: İntravitreal triamsinolon enjeksiyonu öncesi ÖHD; 2.2±0.8 iken tedavi sonrası 1. ayda 1.8±0.6, 2. ayda 1.7±0.5, 3. ayda 1.6±0.5 ve son takip kontrollerinde 1.6±0.5 idi. Enjeksiyon öncesi ve sonrası kontrollerinde saptanan ödem haritası değerleri farkı istatistiksel olarak oldukça anlamlı idi (P>.001). Enjeksiyon sonrası olguların %90.3'ünde görme keskinliğinde artış saptanırken, 3 gözün görme keskinliğinde değişme gözlenmedi. Sonuç: 8 mg/0.2 ml intravitreal triamsinolon enjeksiyonu, diabetik maküla ödemi tedavisinde oldukça etkili ve güvenli olup görme keskinliğinde iyileşme sağlamaktadır.
