摘要
Purpose: To study the safety and efficacy of intravitreal injection of dexamethasone implant in the management of posterior segment involvement in tubercular uveitis (TBU).Methods: In this study, retrospective analysis of safety and efficacy of intravitreal injection of dexamethasone implant for various indications such as cystoid macular edema (CME), vitritis, or paradoxical worsening in TB-related intermediate uveitis, retinal vasculitis, and multifocal serpiginoid choroiditis (MSC) was performed.Results: The study included 17 patients (19 eyes; 7 males). IOP increased from 14.882.68mm Hg to 16.4 +/- 5.82mm Hg (p=0.18) at 3months. BCVA improved from 0.37 +/- 0.35 to 0.27 +/- 0.21 at 3months (p=0.03). CME resolved at 3months and two patients with paradoxical worsening showed resolution within 1month.Conclusion: Intravitreal dexamethasone implant is safe and efficacious as an adjunct to ATT in reducing the central macular thickness, vitritis, and progression of choroiditis lesions in paradoxical worsening of MSC.
