Abstract

Background: The present study is a report of first results of fine needle diathermy (FND) procedure, the method of treatment preferred in our clinic for patients with corneal neovascularization.Methods: FND was performed on 34 eyes with corneal neovascularization in 34 patients. Anterior segment color photos were taken of all patients before and after the procedure. Visual acuity and vascularization size and depth before and after procedure were compared. Number of procedures and complications were noted.Results: Causes of vascularization were lipid keratopathy with unknown primary pathology in 12 patients, herpetic keratitis in 9, bacterial keratitis in 6, corneal graft rejection in 3, fungal keratitis in 2, alkaline burn in 2, and trauma in 1 patient. All vessels were successfully occluded in 15 patients. In 7 patients, 75% of treated vessels were occluded, and 50% of treated vessels were occluded in 5 patients. FND was performed twice on 12 patients and 3 times on 4 patients. In some cases, additional procedures were successful, and in others it was determined to be insufficient.Conclusion: FND is a safe and effective treatment for corneal neovascularization in some patients; however, in some cases, the procedure is only partially effective

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada kliniğimizde korneal vaskülarizasyonu bulunan hastalarda tercih ettiğimiz ve uyguladığımız ince iğne diatermi (İİD) yönteminde ilk sonuçlarımızı bildirmeyi amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Otuz dört hastanın korneal neovaskülarizasyonu olan 34 gözüne İİD uygulandı. İşlem öncesi ve sonrası tüm hastalara ön segment renkli fotoğrafı çekildi. Hastalarda görme keskinliği, vaskülarizasyon yaygınlığı ve derinliği işlem öncesi ve sonrasında karşılaştırıldı ve uygulama sayıları, komplikasyonlar kaydedildi.Bulgular: Vaskülarizasyon nedeni hastaların 12'sinde primeri bilinmeyen lipit keratopati, 9'unda herpes keratiti, 6'sında bakteriyel keratit, 3'ünde korneal grefon reddi, 2'sinde fungal keratit, 2'sinde alkali yanık ve 1'inde travma olduğu görüldü. Hastaların 15'inde müdahale edilen tüm damarlar oklüze olurken, 7 hastada bu oran %75 ve 5'inde %50 idi. Hastaların 12'sinde ikinci İİD, 4'ünde üçüncü İİD uygulandı. Bazı hastalarda ikinci ve üçüncü işlemlerde başarı artışı olduğu, bazı hastalarda ise istenen yanıtın üçüncü işlemde dahi elde edilemediği tespit edildi.Sonuç: İnce iğne diatermi ile seçilmiş hastalarda korneal neovaskülarizasyon tedavisinde çok başarılı sonuçlar elde edilmekte, bu yöntem bazı hastalarda ise kısmen yetersiz kalmaktadır
