To report on the efficacy of early pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), silicone oil (SO) tamponade, and intravitreal ganciclovir injection in the treatment of a case with progressive outer retinal necrosis (PORN). . A 33-year-old man with a history of shingles on the chest skin 2.5 months ago presented with progressive vision loss in both eyes over the past 20 days. Fundus examination revealed retinal necrosis with perivascular clearance. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection was confirmed by western blot analysis. Treatment with intravenous acyclovir and intravitreal ganciclovir injections was unable to stop the progression of retinitis. Along with highly active antiretroviral therapy, the patient underwent PPV with SO tamponade and intravitreal ganciclovir injection in both eyes. A few days after surgery, retinal lesions started to improve.
Early PPV, SO tamponade, and intravitreal ganciclovir injection may be considered an effective intervention in PORN patients with an unfavorable response to medical treatment.
报告早期玻璃体切除术(PPV)、硅油(SO)填塞及玻璃体内注射更昔洛韦治疗1例进行性外层视网膜坏死(PORN)患者的疗效。一名33岁男性,2.5个月前胸部皮肤曾患带状疱疹,在过去20天内双眼视力进行性下降。眼底检查发现视网膜坏死伴血管周围间隙。通过蛋白质印迹分析确诊为人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染。静脉注射阿昔洛韦及玻璃体内注射更昔洛韦治疗未能阻止视网膜炎进展。在高效抗逆转录病毒治疗的同时,该患者双眼接受了PPV联合SO填塞及玻璃体内注射更昔洛韦治疗。术后数天,视网膜病变开始改善。
对于药物治疗反应不佳的PORN患者,早期PPV、SO填塞及玻璃体内注射更昔洛韦可能是一种有效的干预措施。
