To investigate the single-dose effect of intravitreal dexamethasone (DEX) implant for patients with post-vitrectomy macular edema (ME) under silicone oil (SO) tamponade.
Twelve eyes diagnosed with ME after undergoing pars plana vitrectomy with SO injections were retrospectively reviewed. Each eye received a single intravitreal DEX implant (0.7-mg, Ozurdex; Allergan Inc) injection as treatment for recalcitrant ME. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central macular thickness (CMT), and intraocular pressure (IOP) were recorded.
Compared with baseline (1.24 ± 0.34), the mean LogMAR BCVA improved at 1 (1.14 ± 0.27), 3 (1.13 ± 0.22), and 6 (1.22 ± 0.30) months without statistical significance. Maximal CMT resolution was observed at 1 month after intravitreal injection. The CMT value improved significantly at 1 ( = .008), 3 ( = .006), and 6 ( = .009) months. IOP did not show significant elevation during follow-up. No serious adverse events were observed.
Single-dose treatment of DEX implant may have benefit for recalcitrant post-vitrectomy ME under SO tamponade.
研究玻璃体内注射地塞米松(DEX)植入物对硅油(SO)填充下玻璃体切除术后黄斑水肿(ME)患者的单剂量效应。
回顾性分析12例接受玻璃体切除联合SO注射后诊断为ME的患者的眼部情况。每只眼睛接受一次玻璃体内DEX植入物(0.7毫克,Ozurdex;Allergan公司)注射,作为顽固性ME的治疗方法。记录最佳矫正视力(BCVA)、中心黄斑厚度(CMT)和眼压(IOP)。
与基线(1.24±0.34)相比,平均LogMAR BCVA在1个月(1.14±0.27)、3个月(1.13±0.22)和6个月(1.22±0.30)时有所改善,但无统计学意义。玻璃体内注射后1个月观察到CMT最大程度的消退。CMT值在1个月(P =.008)、3个月(P =.006)和6个月(P =.009)时显著改善。随访期间IOP未出现显著升高。未观察到严重不良事件。
单剂量DEX植入物治疗可能对SO填充下顽固性玻璃体切除术后ME有益。
