目的:报道经玻璃体腔内注射高剂量曲安奈德(triamcinolone acetonide,TA)联合光动力学疗法(photodynamic therapy,PDT)治疗老年性黄斑变性( age related macular degeneration, AMD)的脉络膜新生血管(choroidal neovascularization,CNV)后发生的脉络膜毛细血管萎缩。方法:我们采用非随机回顾性干涉治疗病例。在阿利坎特学院眼科,连续观察51眼(实验组)玻璃体腔内的注射(19.4±2.1)mg/0.1mL TA联合PDT治疗AMD的全部中心凹下型CNV患者,经过2a的随访,检查黄斑部脉络膜毛细血管和视网膜色素上皮细胞(RPE)萎缩情况。同时,采用单独PDT治疗的连续30眼患者作为对照组,其年龄,性别和AMD的CNV类型及大小与实验组相匹配。结果:随访24mo后,在治疗区域21/47眼(45%,实验组)和7/30眼(23%,对照组)发展成黄斑部RPE和脉络膜毛细血管萎缩(P=0.04,卡方检验)。实验组平均最大萎缩区域的直径为(5044±1666)μm,而对照组为(4345±1550)μm。在实验组中,RPE萎缩患者的平均最佳矫正视力为(0.87±0.33),而非RPE萎缩患者的平均最佳矫正视力为(0.66±0.26) (P=0.11,秩和U检验)。结论:玻璃体腔内注射大剂量TA联合PDT治疗可能会增加RPE和脉络膜毛细血管萎缩的风险。

AIM:To report the appearance of choriocapillaris atrophy after combined high dose intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (TA) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) to treat choroidal neovascularization (CNV) associated with age related macular degeneration (AMD).METHODS:The present study was retrospective about non-randomized interventional case series.Fifty-one consecutive eyes with subfoveal (all types) CNV associated with AMD were treated by PDT and intravitreal (19.4±2.1)mg per 0.1mL TA at the Alicante Institute of Ophthalmology.The appearance of macular choriocapillaris and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) atrophy was considered at two years follow-up.Thirty consecutive eyes treated by PDT alone,matched for age,sex,and type and size of CNV were considered as control group.RESULTS:Twenty-one of 47 eyes in the study group (45%) and 7 of 30 eyes in the control group (23%) developed macular RPE and choriocapillaris atrophy in the treated area at month 24 (P =0.04,Chi-square test).The greatest diameter of the atrophic areas averaged (5044±1666)μm in the study group vs (4345±1550)μm in the control group.Mean final best corrected visual acuity (logarithm of minimal angle of resolution) was (0.87±0.33) in the cases with RPE atrophy vs (0.66±0.26) in the cases with no RPE atrophy in the study group (P=0.11,Mann-Whitney U test).CONCLUSION:The association of high doses of intravitreal TA and PDT may increase the risk for RPE and choriocapillaris atrophy.
