RESUMO

Vitreomacular traction is a tractive foveolar adhesion of the posterior vitreous limiting membrane, resulting in pathological structural alterations of the vitreomacular interface. This must be differentiated from physiological vitreomacular adhesion, which exhibits a completely preserved foveolar depression. Symptoms depend on the severity of the macular changes and typically include reduced visual acuity, reading problems and metamorphopsia. High-resolution spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT) imaging enables classification of the sometimes only subtle morphological changes. If pronounced vitreomacular traction is accompanied by epiretinal gliosis and alterations to the outer retina, it is referred to as a vitreomacular traction syndrome. Vitreomacular traction has a high probability of spontaneous resolution within 12 months. Therefore, treatment should only be carried out in cases of undue suffering of the patient and with symptoms during bilateral vision and a lack of spontaneous resolution. In addition to pars plana vitrectomy, alternative treatment options, such as intravitreal injection of ocriplasmin and pneumatic vitreolysis are discussed for vitreomacular traction with an associated macular hole; however, ocriplasmin is no longer available in Germany. The best anatomical results in comparative investigations were achieved by vitrectomy. Pneumatic vitreolysis is controversially discussed due to the increased risk of retinal tears. In one of the current S1 guidelines of the German ophthalmological societies evidence-based recommendations for the diagnostics and treatment of vitreomacular traction are summarized.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT Objective: A unusual case of ocular toxoplasmosis with significant vitreomacular traction is reported. The patient improved significantly following pars plana vitrectomy combined with visual stimulation and occlusion therapy. Methods: The case of a 5-year-old girl with significant unilateral vision loss associated with vitreous condensation and macular traction is described. Results: Pars plana vitrectomy was carried out for vitreomacular traction release. This was followed by visual stimulation and occlusion therapy. Significant improvement was observed. Conclusion: Despite structural damage, the combination of properly indicated surgery and amblyopia management strategies allowed the achievement of maximum vision goals in this case, suggesting structural damage may be associated with functional amblyopia.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Patients with hemorrhagic posterior vitreous detachments (HPVDs) have a high rate of retinal tears and often develop retinal detachments (RDs). This study aims to compare outcomes of 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for HPVD versus an observational group. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Retrospective cohort study of 109 consecutive eyes of 105 patients diagnosed with HPVD; 66 eyes underwent PPV and 43 eyes were observed. RESULTS: Twenty-four eyes (36.4%) in the surgical group were found to have tears intraoperatively not seen preoperatively. The median time to vitreous hemorrhage (VH) resolution was significantly shorter for the PPV group, 14 days (interquartile range [IQR]: 7 days to 35 days), compared to those who were observed, 58.5 days (IQR: 30 days to 91 days) (P < .0001). RDs occurred more frequently among observational patients (11.63%) compared to 1.52% of surgical patients (P = .0344). CONCLUSION: Twenty-five-gauge PPV for HPVD resulted in less RDs, diagnosis of occult retinal breaks intraoperatively, and shorter time to VH resolution.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Idiopathic macular holes (IMH) are common and affect central vision. We demonstrate the effectiveness of 0.2 ml intravitreal perfluoropropane (C3F8) in Stage-2 IMH. CASE: A 61-year-old woman presented with blurred vision OD. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/125 OD and 20/20 OS. Biomicroscopy of OD evidenced a Stage-2 IMH. Intravitreal C3F8 was injected and postural measures prescribed. Optical coherence tomography 1 week after revealed posterior vitreous detachment and vitreomacular traction resolution. Full anatomical and functional recovery was achieved at week 4 and remained stable during a 6-month follow-up (BCVA 20/20 OD). CONCLUSION: Intravitreal C3F8 as initial therapy for Stage 2 IMH represents a good alternative to vitrectomy for patients with IMH.


INTRODUCCIÓN: Los agujeros maculares idiopáticos (AMI) son comunes y afectan la visión central. Demostramos la efectividad de 0.2 ml de perfluoropropano (C3F8) intravítreo en AMI en estadio 2. CASO: Una mujer de 61 años presentó con visión borrosa súbita OD. Mejor agudeza visual corregida (MAVC) 20/125 OD y 20/20 en el OS. La biomicroscopía del OD evidenció un AMI en estadio 2. Se inyectó C3F8 intravítreo y se prescribieron medidas posturales. Una semana después, la tomografía de coherencia óptica reveló desprendimiento de vítreo posterior. La resolución de tracción vitreomacular con recuperación anatómica y funcional completa se logró a la semana 4 y se mantuvo estable durante un seguimiento de 6 meses (MAVC 20/20 OD). CONCLUSIÓN: El C3F8 intravítreo como terapia inicial para AMI en estadio 2 representa una buena alternativa a la vitrectomía vía pars plana en pacientes con AMI.

RESUMO

Symptomatic vitreomacular adhesion (sVMA) is defined as visual loss secondary to foveal damage from vitreomacular traction (VMT) and includes isolated VMT, impending macular hole (MH), and full-thickness MH with persisting vitreous attachment. Management options include pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), intravitreal ocriplasmin, intravitreal gas injection or observation. This synthesis of the literature aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of intravitreal gas for sVMA. Articles describing patients with VMT or MH treated with intravitreal expansile gas were selected by systematic literature review using MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Database of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) up to September 2016. The main outcomes at 1 month and final review were logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) visual acuity (VA), anatomical success (absence of both VMT and MH, without PPV) and adverse events (AEs). The intended comparator was observation. Nine of 106 identified articles were eligible, and none were randomized controlled trials. The mean VA of 91 eyes improved from 0.55 (Snellen equivalent 6/21) to 0.48 (6/18) logMAR at 1 month and to 0.35 (6/13) logMAR at final review. The mean VA at final review, prior to a vitrectomy, was 0.42 (6/16). Anatomic success was 48% at 1 month and 57% at final review. The reported AEs comprised retinal detachment in two highly myopic eyes. Intravitreal gas injection can relieve sVMA. Larger controlled studies are needed to determine safety and efficacy relative to observation, ocriplasmin, or vitrectomy.

RESUMO

Vitreomacular traction occurs due to incomplete or anomalous posterior vitreous detachment. Over time, the vitreous pulls anteriorly and causes retinal distortion and eventually reduced vision. Traditionally, vitreomacular traction was treated with vitrectomy surgery. In the past few years, there is a paradigm shift towards pharmacologic vitreolysis, which involves the intravitreal injection of enzymatic and non-enzymatic agents that facilitate posterior vitreous detachment. Many agents have been investigated and trialled including plasmin, microplasmin (Ocriplasmin), hyaluronidase, nattokinase, chondroitinase and dispase. This review will focus on the progress and current status in this research.

RESUMO

Treatment is usually indicated for symptomatic vitreomacular traction (VMT) with or without a full thickness macular hole (FTMH) and without spontaneous resolution. Ultrastructural parameters are evaluated by SD-OCT, in order to classify the vitreoretinal interface and to estimate the success rate of treatment. The resolution rate after therapy with intravitreal Jetrea® (Ocriplasmin) is high (up to 70 %) in patients with symptomatic focal vitreomacular traction (≤ 1500 µm) with or without a macular hole (≤ 250 µm) and with no epiretinal membrane (ERM), but depends on the exact baseline analysis. All other patients with idiopathic traction retinopathy should be treated by minimal invasive pars plana vitrectomy (MIVI). Vitreoretinal surgery effectively removes traction and gives a high closure rate of a full thickness macular hole (FTMH, 90 to 100 %). It is now a very safe procedure with few side effects. Despite a low risk profile (cataract, retinal tear etc.) the indication for surgery needs to take the safety profile into account. Therefore vitrectomy is only indicated in symptomatic patients complaining of blurred vision, VA reduction and metamorphopsia. Vitrectomy is also indicated in patients whose treatment by pharmacologic vitreolysis has failed.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To evaluate treatment options for vitreomacular traction (VMT). METHODS: A retrospective, consecutive case series and a literature search with Boolean search logic. A random-effects meta-analysis was conducted to combine the rates of VMT resolution per treatment. Patients from studies analyzed were placed into cohorts based on the treatment received. CASE SERIES: Zero of 10 control, 3 of 7 intravitreal ocriplasmin (IVO, P = 0.10), 7 of 8 intravitreal expansile gas (pneumatic vitreolysis, PV, P < 0.01), and 10 of 10 pars plana vitrectomy (P < 0.01)-treated eyes experienced VMT release (VMTr) at Day 28. No patients developed retinal tears or detachment. One PV-treated (12.5%) eye developed a macular hole. Meta-analysis: Twenty-three of 131 prospective or retrospective and consecutive articles were included. Sixty-three eyes were treated with PV, 726 eyes were treated with intravitreal ocriplasmin, and 253 eyes were characterized as the control group (saline injection). The weighted rate of VMT resolution for the control group was 0.09 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.06-0.13), PV was 0.84 (95% CI: 0.76-0.92), and intravitreal ocriplasmin was 0.26 (95% CI: 0.23-0.29). CONCLUSION: Our analysis found that PV releases VMT in most patients and suggest that PV may be as effective or superior to nonsurgical options for VMTr at Day 28 with a similar risk profile.

RESUMO

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To describe recent evidence regarding the clinical management of vitreomacular traction (VMT). RECENT FINDINGS: Recent studies have reported favorable outcomes in patients with VMT managed with observation, pharmacologic vitreolysis with ocriplasmin, and intravitreal perfluoropropane gas. Subgroup analysis has identified features associated with spontaneous release of VMT as well as features associated with successful pharmacologic release of VMT with ocriplasmin. SUMMARY: Observation may be an appropriate initial recommendation for patients with mild VMT. When treatment is necessary, pharmacologic vitreolysis with ocriplasmin is an effective nonsurgical therapeutic option. Careful patient selection improves success rates with ocriplasmin. Further study is necessary to establish the efficacy of intravitreal perfluoropropane gas for VMT as well as the efficacy of ocriplasmin in patients with VMT and concurrent retinal disease. As these treatments are more widely used, prospective data will continue to clarify their risk/benefit profile.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to investigate the clinical course of patients with idiopathic vitreomacular adhesion (VMA). METHODS: A noncomparative case series of patients who had clinical symptoms and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography findings consistent with VMA. The VMA was graded based on the optical coherence tomography findings at initial and follow-up examinations. Grade 1 was incomplete cortical vitreous separation with attachment at the fovea, Grade 2 was the Grade 1 findings and any intraretinal cysts or clefts, and Grade 3 was the Grade 2 findings and the presence of subretinal fluid. RESULTS: One hundred and six eyes of 81 patients were identified as having VMA by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography at 3 retina clinics. The mean age was 73 years and the mean time of follow-up was 23 months. Forty-three eyes (41%) had Grade 1 VMA, 56 eyes (52%) had Grade 2 VMA, and 7 eyes (7%) had Grade 3 VMA. By the last follow-up, spontaneous release of VMA occurred in 34 eyes (32%), and pars plana vitrectomy was performed in 5 eyes (4.7%). Mean best-corrected visual acuity was 0.269 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution or 20/37 at baseline (range, 20/20-20/200) and logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution 0.251 or 20/35 at the last examination (range, 20/20-20/400). CONCLUSION: In this selected patient cohort with mild symptoms, the clinical course of patients with VMA managed by initial observation was generally favorable.

RESUMO

Posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) is a common phenomenon in the aging eye. However, this may be complicated by persistent symptomatic vitreomacular adhesions that exert tractional forces on the macula (vitreomacular traction; VMT). VMT itself may be associated with epiretinal membrane formation and the development of idiopathic macular holes (IMH). Such pathologies may cause visual disturbances, including metamorphopsia, photopsia, blurred vision, and decreased visual acuity, which impact an individual's quality of life. Technologies such as optical coherence tomography allow an increasingly more accurate visualisation of the macular anatomy, including quantification of macular hole characteristics, and this facilitates treatment decision-making. Pars plana vitrectomy remains the primary treatment option for many patients with VMT or IMH; for the latter, peeling of the inner limiting membrane (ILM) of the retina has shown improved outcomes when compared with no ILM peeling. The development of narrow-gauge transconjunctival vitrectomy systems has improved the rate of visual recovery following surgery. Ocriplasmin, by degrading laminin and fibronectin at the vitreoretinal interface, may allow induction of PVD in a non-invasive manner. Indeed, clinical studies have supported its use as an alternative to surgery in certain patient populations. However, further research is still needed with respect to greater understanding of the pathophysiology underlying the development of VMT and IMH.

RESUMO

In vitreomacular traction syndrome (VMTS) an anomalous posterior vitreous detachment (APVD) with persistant symptomatic vitreoretinal adhesion is seen. The adhesion leads to a thickened macula, to macular oedema and a reduction of BCVA. Modern imaging techniques like spectral domain OCT (SD-OCT) allow a detailed imaging of the retinal microstructure and the vitreoretinal interface. Vitreomacular adhesions and their effect on the retina can be visualised. Until now, the treatment option for VMTS was and is vitreoretinal surgery. In studies pharmacological vitreolysis has shown a therapeutic effect in patients with symptomatic adhesion and traction. The results of these studies represent an important step towards a pharmacological treatment of VMTS.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To evaluate the outcomes of patients with vitreomacular traction syndrome (VMT) treated with triamcinolone acetonid (TA) assisted 23-gauge (23-G) transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy. METHODS: Restrospective, case series. The medical charts of 13 eyes of 13 consecutive patients with VMT who underwent 23-gauge transconjunctival pars plana vitrectomy were reviewed. All patients had at least six-month follow-up. The main outcome parameters were changes in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central macular thickness (CMT) between the baseline and postoperative follow- up examinations performed at the first, third, and sixth months after the surgery. RESULTS: The mean follow-up period was 7 (range 6-15) months. The mean preoperative BCVA was 1.3±0.4 (logmar). The final BCVA was 0.5±0.3 (logmar) (p = 0.001). The mean CMT was 429±85 µm at baseline, which was significantly reduced to 255±47 µm at the final follow-up visit (p = 0.001). The mean CMT reduction was 174±101 (range: 32-348) µm. No postoperative complications were seen such as endophthalmitis, retinal detachment, hypotony, or glaucoma. CONCLUSION: Triamcinolone assisted 23-G transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy is an effective and safe surgical technique in the management of VMT syndrome. Further studies with large case series are needed.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Stickler syndrome, also known as hereditary progressive arthro-ophthalmopathy, is an inherited progressive disorder of the collagen connective tissues. Manifestations include short-sightedness, cataracts, retinal problems leading to retinal detachment and possible blindness. This is principally the case among individuals with type 1 Stickler Syndrome. It is the most commonly identified inherited cause of retinal detachment in childhood. However, there is no consensus regarding best practice and no current guidelines on prophylactic interventions for this population. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this systematic review was to assess the evidence for the clinical effectiveness and safety of primary prophylactic interventions for the prevention of retinal detachment in previously untreated eyes without retinal detachment in patients with Stickler syndrome. The primary outcome of interest was retinal detachment post prophylaxis. DATA SOURCES: A systematic search was made of 11 databases of published and unpublished literature, which included MEDLINE, MEDLINE In-Process & Other Non-Indexed Citations, EMBASE, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature and The Cochrane Library. There was no restriction by language or date. The references of all included studies were checked for further relevant citations and authors of studies with potentially relevant data were also contacted. REVIEW METHODS: Two reviewers double-screened all titles and abstracts of the citations retrieved by the search to identify studies that satisfied the inclusion criteria. Both reviewers also independently extracted and quality assessed all included studies. A narrative synthesis was performed. RESULTS: The literature search identified 1444 unique citations, of which four studies satisfied the inclusion criteria. The two principal studies were both retrospective cohort studies with control groups in populations with type 1 Stickler syndrome. One study evaluated 360° cryotherapy (n = 204) and the other focal or circumferential laser treatment (n = 22). Both studies reported a statistically significant difference in the rate of retinal detachment per eye between the groups receiving prophylaxis and the controls. However, both studies were subject to a high risk of bias. The results of the two supporting studies of Wagner-Stickler patients were either relatively inconsistent or unreliable. No study reported any major or long-term complications associated with the interventions. Despite the weaknesses of the evidence, the rate of retinal detachment in the intervention groups, especially the cryotherapy group, was lower than the rate either experienced in the study control groups or reported in other studies of untreated Stickler syndrome populations not exposed to prophylaxis. CONCLUSIONS: Only 360° cryotherapy and focal and circumferential laser treatment have been evaluated for the type 1 Stickler syndrome population, and then only by a single retrospective, controlled, cohort study in each case. Both of these studies report a significant difference between intervention and control groups (principally no treatment) and no major or long-term side effects or complications. However, there is a high risk of bias within these two studies, so the relative effectiveness of either intervention is uncertain. FUTURE WORK: A service priority is to determine reliably the prevalence of Stickler syndrome, i.e. how many individuals have type 1 or type 2 Stickler syndrome, and their risk of retinal detachment and subsequent blindness. A non-randomised, prospective cohort comparison study, in which eligible participants are treated, followed-up and analysed in one of three study arms, for no treatment, laser therapy or cryotherapy, would potentially offer further certainty in terms of the relative efficacy of both prophylaxis versus no prophylaxis and cryotherapy versus laser therapy than is possible with the currently available data. Alternatively, continued follow-up and analysis of existing study data, and data collection from relevant sample populations, are required to assess the long-term risks of blindness, retinal detachment and prophylaxis. FUNDING: This study was funded by the National Institute for Health Research Health Technology Assessment programme.

RESUMO

Retinal surgery of retinal detachment in the inferior part of the eye is often complicated by the development of proliferative vitreoretinopathy. Therefore the heavier-than-water concept using heavy silicone oils is a logical consequence for treatment of otherwise unsuccessful retinal surgery in such cases. While some surgeons already use heavy silicone oils in the clinical routine, others are carefully following complication rates. Even good anatomical and functional results are published as critical case reports. In this report we describe the advantages of the heavy silicone oil endotamponade and our own clinical experiences with Densiron(R) 68. The use of heavy silicone oils turned out to be quite convenient, leading for example to shorter tamponade times, easy handling of the oil, no need for uncomfortable prone-position of the patients. On the other hand one has to consider that Densiron(R) 68 is a mixture which contains 70 % PDMS and 30 % F 6 H8, a heavy fluid that was associated with multiple complications if used as sole long-term endotamponade. Based on these experiences we recommend all users bear in mind possible complications. However, such complications can be prevented.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The heavy silicone oil tamponades Densiron and Oxane HD are gaining in popularity amongst vitreoretinal surgeons over recent years. In addition to the classical indications of complicated retinal detachment and PVR, the spectrum is continuously expanding and includes diseases that up to now have been treated with conventional tamponades. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Review of recent studies on vitreoretinal surgery with heavy tamponades outside of surgery for PVR and retinal detachment. RESULTS: In macular hole surgery, good to excellent anatomic and functional results have been reported using heavy tamponades with primary closure rates of up to 100 % of the cases. In reoperations of reopened macular holes, the reported success rates were between 60 % and 100 %. In the group of patients with foveoschisis or central retinal detachment in high myopia with or without macular hole, relatively high reattachment rates of up to 83 % of the cases have been reported. Other reported indications for the use of heavy tamponades are retinoschisis, retinal necrosis, endophthalmitis, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, branch retinal vein occlusion, retinopathy of prematurity, hypotony and choroidal detachment. The published complication rates are low and do not exceed those of conventional tamponades. CONCLUSION: The spectrum of indications for heavy tamponades is constantly expanding. In addition to retinal detachment and PVR surgery, macular holes, reopened macular holes and central retinal detachments or foveoschisis associated with high myopia seem to be the most important diseases that are currently treated with heavy tamponades with good to excellent results published so far. However, a comprehensive comparison with conventional tamponades cannot be made at present because of the limited number of patients and studies published on this subject.

RESUMO

Telangiectasias retinianas são anormalidades vasculares primárias e idiopáticas caracterizadas por dilatações irregulares e incompetência dos vasos retinianos com variados graus de exsudação intra e sub-retiniana. O objetivo desse relato é documentar uma rara associação entre aneurisma miliar de Leber e síndrome de tração vítreomacular bem caracterizada à angiofluoresceinografia e tomografia de coerência óptica. O tratamento realizado foi fotocoagulação com laser de argônio nos aneurismas perimaculares e cirurgia de vitrectomia posterior via pars plana, o que resultou em melhora consistente da acuidade visual. O caso relatado confirma a importância da tomografia de coerência óptica em estudar a interface vítreorretiniana e suas alterações, o que permitiu abordagem completa da doença em questão.


Retinal telangiectasias are idiopatic vascular abnormalities of the retina characterizad by irregular dilatation of the retinal vessels, intraretinal and subretinal exsudation. The aim of this article is to describe the uncommon association of Leber's miliary aneurysms and vitreomacular traction syndrome in a female patient. The diagnosis was established with angiofluoresceinography and optic coherence tomography. The patient was treated with focal photocoagulation with argon green laser directed to the perimacular aneurysms and pars plana posterior vitrectomy. The visual acuity showed great improvement after a four-month follow-up. The present report supports the importance of optic coherence tomography in cases where the vitreoretinal interface must be evaluated, including vascular pathologies, which allowed us to offer a better treatment to this patient.
