摘要
Inflammation is themajor etiologic factor in the development of pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (CME). Several soluble mediators of inflammation such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of ocular inflammation. The purpose of this study is to report the shortterm visual and anatomic outcomes following intravitreal injections of infliximab in eyes with refractory CME secondary to cataract surgery. An interventional, retrospective study of 7 eyes with refractory CME that were injected with 1 mg of infliximab. The main outcome measures were best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central macular thickness (CMT) at 6-month follow-up. At the 6 month follow-up, BCVA improved from 1.14 ± 0.59 logMAR at baseline to 0.51 ± 0.35 logMAR (p = 0.0156). CMT also improved from 584 ± 159 lm at baseline to 327 ± 127 lmat 6 months (p = 0.0111).Nosystemic adverse events were reported in these patients. There was a single episode of uveitis that responded to topical steroids. Inhibition of TNF-a may be beneficial in the treatment of refractory pseudophakic CME. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2012.
