摘要：
Background: To evaluate the influence of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide on visual acuity and macular thickness of patients with vascular diseases and macular edema. Methods: Patients with branch retinal vein occlusion (group A: 9 patients), with central retinal vein occlusion (group B: 13 patients) and patients with diabetic macular edema (group C: 12 patients) were included. Patients received an intravitreal injection of 4 mg triamcinolone acetonide. Follow-up examinations were performed at 1 day preoperatively, 1 week, 1 month, 3, 6 (group A) and 9 months (group B and C) after surgery and included Slit-lamp examination, assessment of intraocular pressure determined by Goldmann applanation tonometry, distance visual acuity (BCVA for distance vision in LogMar), near visual acuity (BCVA for near vision in LogRad) and macular thickness using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Results: A significant effect on visual acuity and macular thickness could be observed in all groups. Conclusion: The significant effect of a single intravitreal injection lasted for a maximum of 6 months. Randomized studies are needed to clarify if intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide may be a therapeutic option for certain groups of patients. © Springer-Verlag 2005.
