Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the results of intravitreal Ranibizumab injection in our own case series treatment with wet type age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Materials and Methods: Thirty-five eyes of 31 patients diagnosed with wet type AMD that had undergone intravitreal ranibizumab injection were included in this prospective study in our clinic. Eyes of patients older than 50, with best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) better than 1.3 logMAR according to the ETDRS acuity chart and in which there were no subfoveolar structural damage prior to treatment and choroidal neovascular membrane (CRNVM) of the greatest diameter below 5400 μm in fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) related to diseases other than AMD, and IOP below 21 mmHg were included. Following three consecutive injections, re-injections were considered on the basis of FFA, BCVA, and OCT findings on monthly examinations. Eyes were assessed for central macular thickness (CMT), BCVA, number of injections, and side effects before and after. Results: While 17 (54.8%) patients were female, 14 (45.2%) were male. Mean age was 73.03±8.59 (52-90 years). Mean follow-up time and number of injections were 10.14±3.59 (6-18 months) and 3.71±1.01 (3-7 injections) respectively. Of the eyes, 23 (65.7%) had classical and 12 (34.3%) had pure occult CRNVM. Seven eyes (20%) had undergone treatment prior to enrollment, while 28 patients (80%) did not undergo treatment. Before treatment, median BCVA was 0.82 logMAR; after treatment it was 0.62. Mean CMT was 386.05 μm before and 315.65 μm after treatment. Conclusion: Intravitreal ranibizumab provides functional and anatomical benefits in wet type AMD.

Özet

Amaç: Yaş tip yaşa bağlı maküla dejenerasyonlu (YBMD) kendi olgu serimizin tedavisinde intravitreal ranibizumab enjeksiyonu sonuçlarını değerlendirmek. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kliniğimizde, yaş tip YBMD tanısıyla intravitreal ranibizumab enjeksiyonu uygulanan 31 hastanın 35 gözü ileriye dönük olarak çalışmaya alındı. Elli yaşından büyük olan, en iyi düzeltilmiş görme keskinliği (EİDGK) ETDRS eşeline göre 1.3 LogMAR’dan iyi olan, fundus florosein anjiografide (FA) koroid neovasküler membranın (KNVM) en geniş çapı 5400 μm’dan küçük olan subfoveal yerleşimli, tedavi öncesi foveada yapısal hasar görülmeyen, diğer oküler hastalıklara bağlı KNVM’ ı bulunmayan, göz içi basıncı 21 mmHg’nin altında olan hastalar çalışmaya alındı. Hastalara birer ay arayla 3 enjeksiyon yapıldıktan sonra aylık takiplerde, EİDGK, FA ve optik kohorens tomografi (OKT) sonuçlarına göre tekrar enjeksiyon kararı verildi. Hastalar tedavi öncesi ve sonrası EİDGK ve OKT’de santral maküla kalınlığı (SMK), ortalama enjeksiyon sayısı ve yan etkiler açısından değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Hastaların 17’si(% 54..8) kadın, 14’ü (%45.2) erkekti. Ortalama yaş 73.03±8.59 (52-90 arası) idi. Ortalama takip süresi 10.14±3.59 ay (6-18 ay arası) ve uygulanan enjeksiyon sayısı da ortalama 3.7±1.01 (3-7 arası) idi. Yirmi üç gözde (%65.7) klasik bileşeni bulunan (minimal ve baskın klasik), 12 gözde (% 34.3) saf gizli tip KNVM mevcuttu. Yedi göz (%20) daha önce tedavi almışken, 28 göz (% 80) ise tedavi almamıştı. Tedavi öncesi median EİDGK 0,82 LogMAR, tedavi sonrası EİDGK ise 0.62 LogMAR idi. Tedavi öncesi ortalama SMK 386.05 μm, tedavi sonrası SMK ise 315,65 μm idi. Sonuç: Yaş tip YBMD’da uygulanan intravitreal ranibizumab tedavisi hem görsel hem de anatomik olarak fayda sağlamaktadır.
