Abstract

Purpose: To analyze the diagnosis, treatment methods, and results of the cases diagnosed with endophthalmitis in our clinic after anterior segment surgery. Materials and Methods: Twenty-six cases diagnosed with endophthalmitis after anterior segment surgery between years 1990-2003 were included in the study. The duration of endophthalmitis development in those cases ranges from one day to 45 days after surgery. With the diagnosis of endophthalmitis, culture specimen was obtained, and intravitreal antibiotics were administered, then medical therapy was (topical antibiotics+steroids) initiated. Results: Pre-treatment visual acuity in our cases was found to be between light perception (LP) and 20/50. Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) was performed on 14 cases. Of those cases who underwent PPV, 1 case developed phthisis bulbi, 1 case generalized retinal atrophy, and 1 case optic atrophy. Two of the cases who received intravitreal antibiotics developed rhematogenous retinal detachment, and they underwent detachment surgery. Conclusion: Close follow-up of cases after anterior segment surgery and timely intervention with early diagnosis in case an endophthalmitis develops is critical. It is possible to obtain a favorable outcome in cases who respond to intravitreal antibiotics. In cases with a dramatic clinical presentation and a rapid progression, or those who do not respond to intravitreal antibiotics, PPV, although occasionally successful, may eventually fail.

Özet

Amaç: Kliniğimizde ön segment cerrahisi sonrası endoftalmi tanısı konularak tedavi uygulanan olgularımızda; tanı, tedavi yöntemleri ve sonuçlarımızın irdelenmesi.Yöntem: 1990-2003 yılları arasında önsegment cerrahisi sonrası muayenesinde endoftalmi tanısı konulan 26 olgu çalışmaya alınmıştır. Olguların cerrahi sonrası endoftalmi gelişme süresi 1 gün ile 45 gün arasında değişmektedir. Endoftalmi tanısı ile birlikte kültür alınarak vitre içi antibiyotik uygulanmıştır. Daha sonra medikal tedavi (topikal antibiyotik+steroid) başlanmıştır. Düzelme olmayan olgulara vitrektomi uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Olgularımızın tedavi öncesi görme keskinliği ışık hissi (IH) + ile 20/50 arasında bulunmuştur. 14 olguya pars plana vitrektomi (PPV) uygulanmıştır. PPV uygulanan 1 olguda fitizis bulbi, 1 olguda yaygın retinal atrofi ve optik atrofi gelişmiştir. Vitre içi antibiyotik uygulanan olguların ikisinde yırtıklı retina dekolmanı gelişmiş ve bunlara dekolman cerrahisi uygulanmıştır.Tartışma: Ön segment cerrahilerinden sonra hastanın yakın takibi ve endoftalmi gelişmesi durumunda erken tanı ile hemen tedaviye başlanması önemlidir. Vitre içi antibiyotik uygulamasına cevap verenlerde çok iyi sonuçlar elde etmek mümkün olmaktadır. Ağır bir klinik tablo ile başlayarak hızlı seyreden veya vitre içi antibiyotik uygulamasına cevap vermeyen olguların bir kısmında PPV; iyi sonuçlar vermekle beraber yetersiz kalabilmektedir.
