Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the results of idiopathic macular epiretinal membrane (ERM) surgery with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling. Materials and Methods: In this prospective study, PPV was performed in 24 eyes of 22 patients with idiopathic macular ERM. ERMs were removed with ILM using indocyanine green to assist visualization. Main outcome measures were visual acuity, intraoperative and postoperative complications. Results: Mean follow-up was 6.3 months (3-12 months). Preoperative visual acuity was between counting fingers at 3 meters and 5/10; whereas, postoperative visual acuity was between counting fingers at 4 meters and 10/10. LogMAR visual acuity was 0.61±0.31 preoperatively and 0.40±0.33 postoperatively (p=0.016). Visual acuity improved by at least 2 lines in 12 eyes (50%) and decreased in none of the eyes. Progression of nuclear sclerosis in 6 eyes (25%), transient increase of intraocular pressure controlled by topical anti-glaucomatous medication in 4 eyes (16.7%) and flat retinal tear in 1 eye (4%) were observed postoperatively. There was no recurrence of the ERM. Conclusions: ERM removal with ILM peeling was observed to be effective and safe in eyes with idiopathic macular ERM. This technique appears to decrease recurrence of ERM.

Özet

Amaç: İdiyopatik maküler epiretinal membranlarda, epiretinal membran (ERM) ile birlikte iç limitan membran (İLM) soyulmasının etkinliğini irdelemek. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu prospektif çalışmada, idiyopatik maküler ERM'si olan 22 hastanın 24 gözü değerlendirildi. Tüm gözlerde pars plana vitrektomiyi takiben, ERM ile birlikte İLM de soyuldu. İLM indosiyanin yeşili yardımı ile soyuldu. Çalışmamızda araştırdığımız ana parametreler görme keskinliği, intraoperatif ve postoperatif komplikasyonlar idi. Bulgular: Hastalar ortalama 9.3 ay (6-15 ay) takip edildi. Preoperatif görme keskinliği 3 metreden parmak sayma (mps) ile 5/10 arasında iken; postoperatif görme keskinliği 4 mps ile 10/10 arasında idi. Preoperatif logMAR görme keskinliği 0.61±0.31 iken postoperatif 0.40±0.33 idi (p=0.016). Görme keskinliği 12 olguda (%50) 2 sıra ve üzerinde artarken; hiçbir olguda azalmadı. Postoperatif dönemde 6 olguda (%25) nükleer sklerozda artış; 4 olguda (%16.7) ise topikal tedavi ile kontrol altına alınabilen göz içi basınç artışı gözlendi. Bir olguda da (%4) postoperatif 1. ayda yatışık retina yırtığına rastlandı. Postoperatif dönemde ERM nüksüne rastlanmadı. Sonuç: İdiyopatik maküler ERM'lerde, ERM ile birlikte İLM soyulmasının etkin ve güvenilir bir yöntem olduğu gözlendi. Bu tekniğin ERM nüksünü azalttığı düşünüldü.
