 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 15 Retrobulbar injection of triamcinolone acetonide for treatment of branch retinal vein occlusion secondary to macular edema Study: High clouds, Liufang Yi, Zhao Jun, Wang Yun, Wang Qiang [Abstract] Objective To evaluate the retrobulbar injection of triamcinolone acetonide (triamcinolone acetonide, TA) branch retinal vein occlusion (branch retinal vein occlusion, BRVO macular edema secondary to effective security. Methods 27 patients (31 eyes of serious secondary RVO macular edema in patients suffering from eyes with retrobulbar injection of triamcinolone acetonide 40mg/1ml, observed before treatment and after 1 month, 3 months, 6 months in patients with best corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, intraocular inflammation, crystals, fundus changes, optical coherence tomography (optical coherent tomography, OCT macular retinal thickness measurement, FFA changes fundus fluorescein angiography examination. Results All 31 eyes, 25 eyes (80.64% visual acuity, 4 eyes (12.9%), unchanged vision , 2 re-release intravitreal injection of TA. acuity before treatment was 0.11 + -0.19, After 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, respectively: 0.36 + -0.32,0.56 + -0.28,0.65 + -0.35. macular The average foveal thickness before treatment was 582 +-139μm, After 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, respectively: 329 +-119μm, 207 +-58μm, 175 +-36μm. The difference between before and after treatment was statistically significant ( P lt;0.05.31 1,3,6 months after injection the eyes were three (9.6%), 7 eyes (22.5%) and 2 (6.4%), increased intraocular pressure, the local drug returned to normal after short-term treatment. All the ball does not appear after suffering from eye hemorrhage, eye inflammation, cataracts, retinal detachment and other complications. Conclusion Retrobulbar injection of triamcinolone acetonide is safe and effective treatment of macular edema secondary to BRVO.
