hey!!
________
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 14.88 ± 2.68 mm Hg to 16.4 ± 5.82 mm Hg (p = 0.18) at 3 months. BCVA improved from 0.37 ± 0.35 to 0.27 ± 0.21 at 3 months (p = 0.03). CME resolved at 3 months and two patients with paradoxical worsening showed resolution within 1 month.
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.
hope help u!!
