Abstract

Purpose: To demonstrate that post-injection intravitreal silicone oil droplets can be seen as a complication in the follow-up of patients who had undergone intravitreal injection treatment and to discuss our clinical approach to these patients. Material and Method: Out of 6 patients who had undergone intravitreal injection treatment in T. C. Istanbul Bilim University Ophthalmology Clinic between December 2010 and February 2011, four presented with complaints of floaters and 2 patients applied for follow- up after intravitreal injection. Results: On ophthalmological examination, free silicone oil droplets in the vitreous cavity were observed at fundoscopy. In 0.04% of patients who had undergone bevacizumab injections, intravitreal silicone oil droplets were seen, whereas no oil droplets were seen in patients who had undergone ranibizumab injections. Before silicone oil droplets were seen in the vitreous, the mean number of injections was 4.8 (3-8) and the mean number of the total injections that the patients have undergone was 6.8 (3-9). Two of the 6 patients were asymptomatic and 4 of them were symptomatic. The silicone oil droplets in the vitreous which were on the optical axis were extracted with pars plana vitrectomy method in two symptomatic patients. Pathological examination of the vitreous extracts confirmed that the observed droplets were silicone oil. Discussion: In our study, it was determined that the injector equipment which is used in bevacizumab injections can bring along the complication of silicone oil droplets in the vitreous cavity and this situation can be prevented with equipment changing.

Özet

Amaç: İntravitreal enjeksiyon tedavisi gören hastaların takiplerinde enjeksiyon sonrası vitreus içi silikon yağı damlacıklarının komplikasyon olarak görülebildiğini ve bu hastalara yaklaşımımızı açıklamak. Gereç ve Yöntem: T.C. İstanbul Bilim Üniversitesi Göz Kliniği’ne Aralık 2010 - Şubat 2011 tarihleri arasında intravitreal enjeksiyon tedavisi gören 4 hasta gözün önünde uçuşan cisim yakınmasıyla, 2 hasta da enjeksiyon sonrası rutin kontrol muayenesi için başvurdu. Sonuçlar: Yapılan oftalmolojik muayenede fundus bakısında vitreus içinde serbest silikon yağı damlacıkları gözlendi. Bevacizumab enjeksiyonu yapılmış hastalardan %0,04’ünde intravitreal silikon yağı damlacığına rastlanılmışken ranibizumab enjeksiyonu yapılmış hastaların hiçbirinde bu bulguya rastlanılmadı. Vitreus içi silikon yağı damlacığı görülmesinden önce ortalama enjeksiyon sayısı 4,8 (3-8) olup, hastaların almış oldukları toplam enjeksiyon sayısı ortalaması 6,8 (3-9)’dır. Toplam 6 hastanın 2 tanesi asemptomatik, 4 tanesi semptomatikti. Semptomatik olan 2 hastanın vitreuslarında gözlenen silikon yağı damlacıları optik aks üzerinde bulunduğu için pars plana vitrektomi yöntemiyle çıkarıldı. Vitreus ekstraktlarının patolojik incelenmesinde görülen damlacıkların silikon yağı olduğu doğrulandı. Tart›flma: Çalışmamızda intravitreal bevacizumab enjeksiyonlarında kullanılan enjektör ekipmanının vitreus içi silikon yağı damlacığı komplikasyonunu beraberinde getirebildiği saptanmış olup bu durumun ekipman değişimi ile önlenebileceği görülmüştür.
