Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the results of intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) in patients with my- opic choroidal neovascularization (mCNV). Material-Methods: Files of the patiens with mCNV who received intravitreal anti-VEGF injections between January 2010 and 2017 were reviewed retrospectively. Records of 11 eyes of 10 patients were evaluated. Results: Seven patients were female (70%) and three male (30%). Mean age of the subjects was 63.9±15.0 years (27-79 years). Mean follow-up time was 20.1±15.7 months (6-53 month) and mean axial lenght of the eyes was 28.1±1.4 mm (26.57-31 mm). Localization of mCNV was subfoveal in 8 eyes (72.7%), extrafoveal in two eyes (18.1%) and juxtafoveal in one eye (9%). Mean best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.5±0.32 and mean central macular thickness (CMT) was 375.1±105.0 μ (Range: 250-500 μ) at the baseline. Mean number of anti-VEGF injection was 4.6±5.8 (Range:1-19 injection). Four eyes received only ranibizumab injections, four eyes only afl ibercept injection and 3 eyes ranibizumab and subsequent afl ibercept injections. Mean BCVA was 0.40±0.25 and mean CMT was 347.3±110.4 μ (Range: 218-530 μ) at the last visit. There was no statistical difference between baseline and fi nal BCVA and CMT (p >0.05). The BCVA improved more than one line in 3 eyes, worsened more than one line in four eyes, and was unchanged in four eyes. Conclusion: Intravitreal anti-VEGF treatment is the fi rst choice in mCNV. Remission can be achieved with fewer injections compared to wet type age-related CNV. Hovewer, more intravitreal injections may be necessary in elder patients diagnosed mCNV.

Özet

Amaç: Miyopik koryoidal neovaskülarizasyonlu (mKNV) hastalarda intravitreal anti- vasküler endotelyal büyüme faktörü (anti-VE- GF) tedavisi sonuçlarının gözden geçirilmesi Materyal-Metod: Ocak 2010 - Ocak 2017 tarihleri arasında patolojik miyopiye ikincil KNV tanısı konulan ve anti-VEGF tedavi uy- gulanan hastaların dosyaları retrospektif olarak incelendi. On hastanın 11 gözüne ait veriler değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Hastalarımızın 7 si (%70) kadın, 3 ü erkekti (%30). Ortalama yaş 63.9± 15.0 yıl (27-79 yaş) ve ortalama takip süresi 20.1±15.7 ay (6-53 ay) olarak hesaplandı. Gözlerin ortalama aksiyel uzunluğu 28.1±1.4 mm’ydi (26.57-31 mm). Koroidal neovas- külarizasyon, 8 gözde subfoveal (%72.7), iki gözde ekstrafoveal (%18.1) ve bir gözde jukstafoveal (%9) yerleşim göstermekteydi. İlk muayenede Snellen eşeli ile gözlükle düzeltilmiş en iyi görme keskinliği ortalama 0.5±0.32 iken ortalama santral maküla kalınlığı 375.1±105.0 μ (250-500 μ) olarak hesaplandı. Ortalama intravitreal anti-VEGF ilaç enjeksiyon sayısı 4.6±5.8 (1-19 enjeksiyon) olarak bulundu. Dört göze sadece ranibizumab, 4 göze sadece afl ibersept enjeksiyonu yapılırken, 3 göze ranibizumab ve afl ibersept enjeksi- yonu farklı zamanlarda yapılmıştı. Son muayenedeki gözlükle düzeltilmiş en iyi görme keskinliği keskinliği ortalama 0.40±0.25 iken ortalama santral maküla kalınlığı 347.3±110.4 μ (218-530 μ) olarak hesaplandı. İlk ve son mayenedeki görme keskinliği ve santral maküla kalınlığı açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark yoktu (p >0.05). Üç gözde Snellen eşelinde bir sıra ve üzeri artış olurken, 4 gözde görme keskinliği aynı seviyedeydi. Dört gözde ise görme keskinliğinde azalma olduğu görüldü. Sonuç: İntravitreal anti-VEGF kullanımı mKNV tedavisinde ilk tercihtir. Hastalık stabilizasyonu yaşa bağlı maküla dejenerasyonuna göre daha az sayıda intravitreal enjeksiyon uygulaması ile elde edilebilmektedir. Ancak tanı yaşı arttıkça enjeksiyon sayısında artış olabilmektedir.
