Treatment of macular hole retinal detachment.
Seven patients with macular hole retinal detachment were treated by intravitreal gas injection with or without release of subretinal fluid. Macular buckling, diathermy, cryopexy, or vitrectomy were not used. The patients were placed prone for eight hours a day until the gas had absorbed. In five of the seven patients the retina became reattached within three days and remained reattached with fo...
متن کاملEnzymatic vitreolysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator for vitreomacular traction
AIMS The aim of our research was to gain data about the efficacy of intravitreal injections of a recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rTPA) in dissolving vitreoretinal tractions (VRTs). MATERIALS AND METHODS The study group consisted of patients of our Ophthalmology Clinic who had received an injection of rTPA (TPA Group) for an existent vitreomacular traction confirmed by optical cohere...
متن کاملLooking at ocriplasmin as a new option in eye disease.
Vitreomacular traction (VMT) syndrome and macular hole (MH) are disease processes that are caused by anomalous separation of the vitreous from the macula. Until now, management of these conditions has involved vitreoretinal surgery. Clinical trials have shown that a single intravitreal microplasmin (ocriplasmin) injection can induce separation of the vitreous from the macular surface and thereb...
متن کاملVitreoretinal interface abnormalities in diabetic macular edema and effectiveness of anti-VEGF therapy: an optical coherence tomography study
Purpose To study vitreoretinal interface (VRI) abnormalities in diabetic macular edema (DME) and the influence of these on the effectiveness of intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy. Methods VRI status and central retinal thickness (CRT) were evaluated using line and 3D-reference scans obtained using spectral domain-optical coherence tomography RTVue-100 before a...
متن کاملFailed retinal surgery caused by intraocular gas injection.
Four patients developed inferior retinal redetachment following initially successful surgery which included intraocular injection of air and sulphahexafluoride (SF6) mixture. In each case the intravitreal gas bubble produced vitreoretinal traction which opened inferior retinal breaks and led to retinal separation. Cautious use of intraocular gas is advised when bullous upper rhegmatogenous reti...
