Abstract

Purpose: To present long-term results of intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR) treatment of myopic choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM). Material and Method: Thirty-three eyes of 33 patients with CNVM secondary to pathologic myopia were included in this retrospective study. All the cases had IVR (0.5 mg/0.05 ml) injection under sterile condition. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), anterior-posterior segment exam with slit-lamp biomicroscopy, color fundus photo, fundus fl uorescein angiography (FFA), and spectral optical coherence tomography (SOCT) were performed at baseline. IVR injection was repeated when there was intraretinal/subretinal fl uid existence in SOCT scans and (or) leakage on FFA scans and (or) visual acuity was decreased. Results: The mean age was 53.8±15 years (range: 25-88 years). The mean follow-up time was 24 months. The mean BCVA was 1.1±0.31 log- MAR before the injection. The mean increase in BCVA at month 12 was 0.14±0.3 (p=0.04) logMAR, and at month 24 it was 0.10±0.4 (p=0.17) logMAR. The mean central macular thickness (CMT) was 479±104 μm at baseline and change to 361±85 μm (p<0.001) at month 3, 411±95 at month 12, and 371±76 μm at month 24. The mean injection count was 2.5 at fi rst year and 0.5 at second year of follow-up. In the %61 (19 eyes) of the cases, there was no need for injection at all in the second year. There was no complication related the treatment. Conclusion: IVR treatment seems safe and effective to treatment of CNVM secondary to pathologic myopia. Injection counts decreases at the second year.

Özet

Amaç: Miyopik koroidal neovasküler membranlarda (KNVM) intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR) tedavisinin uzun dönem sonuçlarını sunmak. Materyal- metod: Retrospektif olarak planlanan çalışmaya patolojik miyopiye bağlı KNVM si olan 33 hastanın 33 gözü alındı. Tüm hasta- lara başlangıçta steril şartlarda IVR (0,5 mg/0,05 ml) enjeksiyonu uygulandı. Başlangıçta tüm hastalara en iyi düzeltilmiş görme keskinliği (EİDGK) ölçümü, yarıklı-lamba biyomikroskopisi ile ön ve arka segment muayenesi, renkli fundus fotosu, fundus fl urosein anjiografi (FFA) ve spectral-optik kohorens tomografi (S-OKT) (Spectralis HRA; Heidelberg Engineering; Heidelberg, Germany) tetkikleri yapıldı. S-OKT’de inraretinal/subretinal sıvı varlığında, FFA’da sızıntı görülen ve görme azalması olan hastalara yeniden enjeksiyon kararı verildi. Bulgular: Hastaların yaşlarının ortalaması 53,8±15 (25-88) idi. Ortalama takip süresi 24 ay idi. Enjeksiyon öncesi EİDGK 1,1±0,31 logMAR idi. 12.ayda görme kazanımı 0,14±0,3 (p:0,04) logMAR iken, 24.ayda 0,10±0,4 (p:0,17) logMAR idi. Merkezi maküla kalınlığı (MMK) tedavi öncesi 479±104 μm iken, 3.ayda 361±85 μm (p<0,001), 12.ayda 411±95, 24.ayda 371±76 μm idi. İlk yıl ortalama 2,5 enjeksiyon uygulanırken, 2.yıl ortalama 0,5 enjeksiyon uygulandı. Hastaların %61’i (19 göz) 2.yıl hiç enjeksiyona gerek duymadı. Tedaviye bağlı herhangi bir yan etki ile karşılaşılmadı. Sonuç: Patolojik miyopiye bağlı KNVM tedavisinde İVR uygulaması etkili ve güvenli gözükmektedir. İkinci yılda enjeksiyon sayıları oldukça azalmaktadır.
