Abstract

AIM: To evaluate the efficacy of 4mg/0.1ml intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) in patients with pseudophakic cystoid macular edema. MATERIALS and METHODS: Thirteen eyes of 13 patients with pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (mean age: 66.5±8.4 years) were included in the study. Before and after 4mg/0.1ml IVTA injections, visual acuity, fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) findings, intraocular pressures (IOP) and complications were recorded in all patients. RESULTS: It was observed that visual acuity increases with improvement in FFA findings in all patients. The difference in IOP values before and after IVTA injection was statistically significant (P21mmHg was observed in 3 eyes that required antiglaucomatous medication to control IOP. CONCLUSION: IVTA injection is an effective and safe treatment option in patients with pseudophakic cystoid macular edema to increase the visual acuity and resolution of macular edema.

Özet

Amaç: Psödofakik kistoid makula ödemi olan olgularda 4mg/0.1ml intravitreal triamsinolon asetonid (IVTA) enjeksiyonunun etkinliğinin değerlendirilmesi.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Psödofakik kistoid makula ödemi tanısı konan, yaş ortalaması: 66.5±8.4 yıl olan 13 hastanın 13 gözü çalışma kapsamına alındı. Tüm olgularda, 4 mg/0.1ml intravitreal triamsinolon enjeksiyonu öncesi ve sonrası saptanan görme keskinliği, fundus floresein anjiografi (FFA) bulguları, göz içi basıncı (GİB) ve ortaya çıkan komplikasyonlar kaydedildi.Bulgular: Tüm olgularda görme keskinliğinde artış saptanırken FFA bulgularında gerileme gözlendi. Enjeksiyon öncesi ve sonrası kontrollerinde saptanan GİB değerleri farkı istatistiksel olarak oldukça anlamlı idi (P
