Nd:YAG laser hyaloidotomy can be con- sidered as a safe, non-invasive procedure leading to dra- matic and rapid increase in visual acuity even in cases with prolonged subhyaloid hemorrhage, preventing the need for pars plana vitrectomy.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:We descibe a case of dense premacular subhyaloid hem- orrhage in a patient with non-proliferative diabetic retin- opathy treated by Neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser.
📊
Key Findings & Data:Maximum laser power of 8.5 mJ Nd:YAG laser was applicated, and when a small leakage from sub- hyaloid hemorrhage into the vitreous cavity was observed the laser application was terminated.

Abstract

We descibe a case of dense premacular subhyaloid hem- orrhage in a patient with non-proliferative diabetic retin- opathy treated by Neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser. Maximum laser power of 8.5 mJ Nd:YAG laser was applicated, and when a small leakage from sub- hyaloid hemorrhage into the vitreous cavity was observed the laser application was terminated. Consequent vitreous hemorrhage cleared rapidly and visual acuity increased from hand motions to 20/20 on the 10th day of Nd:YAG laser treatment. Nd:YAG laser hyaloidotomy can be con- sidered as a safe, non-invasive procedure leading to dra- matic and rapid increase in visual acuity even in cases with prolonged subhyaloid hemorrhage, preventing the need for pars plana vitrectomy.

Özet

Bu çalışmada uzun süreli ve yoğun premaküler subhyaloid hemoraji saptanan non-proliferatif diabetik retinopatili bir olgunun Neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) lazer ile tedavisi tartışılmaktadır. Tedavi sırasında 8.5 mJ şiddetindeki Nd:YAG lazer uygulaması ile subhyaloid he- moraji alanından vitreus boşluğuna küçük bir sızıntı oluş- turulmuştur. Takiben gelişen vitreus hemorajisinin hızlıca rezorbe olduğu ve tedavinin 10. gününde görme düzeyinin el hareketleri seviyesinden tashihle 20/20 düzeyine yük- seldiği gözlenmiştir. Altı aylık takip süresi sonunda teda- viye ait komplikasyon gelişimi gözlenmemiştir. Nd:YAG lazer hyaloidotomi uygulamasının, uzun süreli premaküler subhyaloid hemoraji olgularında da görme keskinliğinde dramatik ve hızlı bir artış sağlayan ve pars plana vitrekto- mi gereksinimini ortadan kaldıran güvenli, non-invazif bir tedavi seçeneği olabileceği akılda tutulmalıdır.
