purpose : to evaluate the effectiveness of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide on visual acuity and macular thickness using optical coherence tomography in macular edema associated with nonischemic central retinal vein occlusion (crvo). design : a prospective interventional case series. patients & methods : twenty eyes of 25 patients with nonischemic crvo and macular edema with visual acuity o...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the effects of injection site on the reflux after intravitreal injection. METHODS One hundred and eighty eyes undergoing intravitreal injection including 0.1 ml of triamcinolone acetonide or bevacizumab or pegaptanib were divided to six groups (30 patients in each group) to compare the vitreal reflux after injection using superotemporal versus infero...

PURPOSE To evaluate treatment of macular edema associated with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) using intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide. METHODS Retrospective review of data for 29 eyes of 29 patients with CRVO and macular edema treated with intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide. Initial visual acuity, intraocular pressure, and history of glaucoma were recorded. Final visual acuity, in...

Purpose: To evaluate the inflammatory response in the choroid, retina and vitreous in rabbit eyes underwent cryotherapy followed by intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide and to compare with those underwent cryotherapy followed by intravitreal injection of saline solution. Methods: This is a prospective case-control study. Surgical procedures were performed in eleven rabbits. Two animals were exc...

PURPOSE To report a case of Idiopathic retinal vasculitis, arteriolar macroaneurysms, and neuroretinitis (IRVAN). syndrome in a young female. CASE REPORT A 21-year-old woman presented with unilateral visual acuity (VA) loss. Ophthalmological examination disclosed unilateral optic disc swelling, star-shaped macular exudation, multiple aneurysms surrounded by perivascular exudation, retinal vas...

The treatment of the clinically significant macular edema in patients with diabetic maculopathy by the intravitreal administration of corticosteroids and antiangiogenic factors requires rapid and more accurate investigation methods aimed at following up the dynamic evolution of the structural parameters of the retina. The purpose of the study is to compare the outcome of OCT parameters for each...

OBJECTIVE To report the incidence of endophthalmitis, in addition to its clinical and microbiological aspects, after intravitreal injection of vascular-targeting agents. METHODS A retrospective review of a consecutive series of 10,142 intravitreal injections of vascular targeting agents (bevacizumab, ranibizumab, triamcinolone acetonide, and preservative-free triamcinolone acetonide) between ...

Report on the development of pseudohypopyon immediately after intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide (TAAC). Two phakic patients presenting with a transient pseudohypopyon after having been treated with intravitreal triamcinolone. One had a clinically significant macular edema with cystoid component (CSME with CMS) and the other, active Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) with serous retinal ...

Uveitis, glaucoma, and cystoid macular edema frequently develop in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. The authors describe a case of cystoid macular edema associated with juvenile idiopathic arthritis that had not responded to intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide and bevacizumab but improved significantly following intravitreal injection with a dexamethasone 0.7 mg implant.
