Purpose:
|
The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of an intravitreal sulfur hexafluoride gas (SF6) injection in releasing of vitreomacular traction in patients with Vitreomacular traction (VMT) syndrome
|
Methods:
|
In our interventional case series study we enrolled patients with decreased visual acuity and persistent symptoms diagnosed as VMT on basis of clinical exam and optical coherence tomography (OCT) to inject intravitreal sulfur hexafluoride gas. After one month of the procedure, the success of inducing PVD as a primary outcome and the changes in the maximum foveal thickness and the visual acuity as a secondary outcome was evaluated
|
Results:
|
A PVD was induced in 15 eyes of 15 patients who underwent gas injection. The mean of visual acuity decreased from 0.69 logMAR units to 0.45 logMAR units (P=0.009) and the maximum foveal thickness decreased by 132 µm (P<0.05) 4monthes and 1 month following treatment respectively. There were no significant treatment-related complications.
|
Conclusion:
|
The induction of PVD by SF6 intravitreal gas injection in patients with symptomatic VMT could be a minimally invasive treatment instead of pars plana vitrectomy
