Abstract

Diabetic macular edema is the most common cause of visual impairment in patients with diabetes mellitus. The pathogenesis of macular edema is complex and multifactorial. For many years, laser photocoagulation has been considered the standard therapy for the treatment of diabetic macular edema; however, few patients achieve significant improvements in visual acuity. Today the intravitreal administration of anti-inflammatory or anti-angiogenic agents together with the use of laser photocoagulation represents the standard of care for the treatment of this complication. The intravitreal route of administration minimizes the systemic side effects of corticosteroids. Steroid- related ocular side effects are elevated intraocular pressure and cataract, while injection-related complications include endophthalmitis, vitreous hemorrhage, and retinal detachment. In order to reduce the risks and complications, intravitreal implants have been developed recently to provide sustained release of corticosteroids and reduce repeated injections for the management of diabetic macular edema. In this review, the efficacy, safety, and therapeutic potential of intravitreal corticosteroids in diabetic macular edema are discussed with a review of recent literature.

Özet

Diyabetik maküla ödemi diyabet hastalarında görme kaybının en sık nedenidir. Maküla ödeminin patogenezi karmaşık vemultifaktöriyeldir. Uzun yıllar lazer fotokoagülasyon tedavide standart olarak kabul edilmiştir, ancak az sayıda hastada görmekeskinliğinde artış sağlanmıştır. Günümüzde, lazer fotokoagülasyonla birlikte anti-enflamatuvar veya anti-anjiyogenik ajanlarınintravitreal uygulaması bu komplikasyonun tedavisinde standart olarak gösterilmektedir. İntravitreal uygulama kortikosteroidlerinsistemik yan etkilerini minimuma indirir. Göz içi basıncı artışı ve katarakt gelişimi steroid ilişkili oküler yan etkilerdir, enjeksiyona bağlıyan etkiler de endoftalmi, vitreus hemorajisi ve retina dekolmanıdır. Son zamanlarda risk ve komplikasyonları önlemek için enjeksiyonsayısını azaltan yavaş salınımlı intravitreal implantlar geliştirilmiştir. Bu derlemede diyabetik maküla ödem tedavisinde intravitrealkortikosteroidlerin etkinlik, güvenilirlik ve teröpatik potansiyelleri güncel literatür bilgileri ışığında gözden geçirilmiştir.
