Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the results of medical and surgical practices in management of patients with endophthalmitis. Material and Methods: Among 196 patients who had diagnosis of endophtalmitis in Erciyes University Medical Faculty Ophthalmology Clinic January 2004 to January 2011, 42 patients whose data were obtained and at least one month follow up findings were included in retrospective study. The vitreal sampling and intravitreal injection of vancomycin+ceftazidim e+dexamethasone were performed within the first 24 hours. Systemic and topical fortified antibiotics with topical steroid therapy were applied. Pars plana vitrectomy was performed on patients who had no response to medical treatment. Results: The average age of patients was 61±14, the median value of follow-up period was 2.5 (1-42) months. The endophthalmitis was developed secondary to cataract surgery in 34 patients, intravitreal injection in 3 cases, trauma in 3 cases, trabeculectomy in 1 case, pars plana vitrectomy in 1 case. Pars plana vitrectomy was performed on 4 patients who were resistant to medical treatment. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) median values of the patients were 2.6 (0.3-2.6) before treatment and 1.3 (0-2.6) in the last control. In 18 cases (42.8%), BCVA was 0.1 and on. 6 (14.2%) cases showed positive cultures. Despite all the treatments in 2 patients required evisceration. Despite treatment, 2 patients lost their sense of light. Conclusion: Prompt diagnosis and treatment are important factors for determining prognosis in patients with endophthalmitis.

Özet

Amaç: Endoftalmi tanısı ile kliniğimizde tedavi edilen hastalarda, medikal ve cerrahi uygulamalarımızı ve sonuçlarını incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Erciyes Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Göz Hastalıkları kliniğinde Ocak 2004-Ocak 2011 tarihleri arasında endoftalmi tanısı ile tedavi görmüş 196 hastadan dosya bilgilerine ulaşılan ve en az bir aylık takip bulguları bulunan 42 olgunun bilgileri geriye dönük olarak incelenmiştir. Hastalara; ilk 24 saat içerisinde vitreus aspiratı alınıp, intravitreal vank omisin+seftazidim+deksametazon enjeksiyonu yapılmıştır. Sistemik ve topikal güçlendirilmiş antibiyotik ve topikal steroid tedavisi uygulanmıştır. Sonuç alınamayan olgularda pars plana vitrektomi ameliyatı yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Hastaların yaş ortalaması 61±14, ortalama takip süresi ortanca değeri 2.5 (1-42) ay olarak bulunmuştur. 34 olguda katarakt cerrahisi, 3 olguda intravitreal enjeksiyon, 3 olguda travma, 1 olguda trabekülektomi, 1 olguda pars plana vitrektomi sonrasında endoftalmi geliştiği görülmüştür. Tedaviye dirençli 4 olguya pars plana vitrektomi ameliyatı yapılmıştır. Olguların tedavi öncesi en iyi düzeltilmiş görme keskinlikleri (EİDGK) ortanca değeri 2.6 (0.3-2.6), son kontrolde EİDGK ortanca değeri 1.3 (0-2.6) olarak saptanmıştır. 18 olguda (%42.8) EİDGK 0.1 ve üzerinde bulunmuştur. 6 (%14.2) olguda kültürde üreme görülmüştür. 2 olguda tüm tedavilere rağmen eviserasyon gerekmiştir. Tedaviye rağmen 2 olgu ışık hissini kaybetmiştir.
