Posterior sub-Tenon′s triamcinolone in choroidal granuloma due to probable ocular sarcoidosis

Effect of posterior sub-tenon triamcinolone in macular edema due to non-ischemic vein occlusions.

PURPOSE To study the efficacy and safety of Posterior Sub-Tenon Triamcinolone acetonide (PSTT) in the treatment of macular edema in retinal vein occlusions. The efficacy is studied by anatomical and visual improvements. BACKGROUND Macular edema is the most common cause of visual loss in retinal vein occlusions. Many treatments have been advocated including laser, PSTT etc. The most recent tre...

[Giant nodular posterior scleritis compatible with ocular sarcoidosis simulating choroidal melanoma].

CASE REPORT A 30-year-old man was referred to our ocular oncology service with a diagnosis of amelanotic choroidal melanoma of the left eye. The following tests were performed: ophthalmoscopy, fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography, ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging and biopsy. DISCUSSION The diagnosis of giant nodular posterior scleritis, as suggested by ultrasonogr...

Clinical aspects of posterior uveitis in ocular sarcoidosis.

Two clinical forms of the "white spot" syndrome in patients with posterior uveitis in definitive and presumable ocular sarcoidosis were analyzed. Group 1 was characterized by periphlebitis and discrete white spots around the vein of the retina, so-called "candle-wax", whereas group 2 showed yellow-orange solitary nodules located at the choroid, i.e. multifocal choroiditis. Visual acuity and the...

Effect of photodynamic therapy with posterior sub-tenon triamcinolone acetonide on predominantly classic choroidal neovascularization: one-year results.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the results of monotherapy (photodynamic therapy) and combined therapy (photo-dynamic therapy with posterior sub-Tenon triamcinolone acetonide) in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty eyes from forty patients with diagnosed neovascular AMD were enrolled in this study during March-2005 - October-2008. All patients we...
