چکیده

Purpose Ocriplasmin is effective in closing macular holes due to vitreomacular traction. We present a case of macular subretinal material deposition observed with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and multimodal imaging, following successful closure of a macular hole following intravitreal ocriplasmin injection. Observations An 81-year-old male presented with decreased vision in the left eye due to a full-thickness macular hole secondary to vitreomacular traction. Ocriplasmin (Jetrea) was injected into the vitreous and hole closure was observed after one week. Macular subretinal material deposition developed along the outer surface of the resultant serous detachment on OCT one week post-injection. Fluorescein angiography demonstrated no expanding hyperfluorescence due to retinal or choroidal leak, or staining of the lesion. The material was mildly autofluorescent. The macular subretinal material complex spontaneously decreased with no significant effect on vision over 60 weeks. Conclusions and importance Macular subretinal material deposition has not previously been reported following intravitreal ocriplasmin injection. This material is likely composed of photoreceptor outer segments. It is important to recognize that macular subretinal deposits can occur following intravitreal ocriplasmin injection as it may cause diagnostic confusion and potentially influence the visual and anatomical outcomes following successful hole closure.

Macular Hole Progression following Ocriplasmin Intravitreal Injection

Ocriplasmin is a protease which has been approved for the treatment of symptomatic vitreomacular adhesion (VMA). A 63-year-old presented with blurred vision in the left eye and a best corrected visual acuity of 6/18. Optical coherence tomography revealed VMA with an underlying macular hole and she subsequently underwent a left intravitreal ocriplasmin injection. One week after the injection, VM...

Transient visual loss and delayed resolution of vitreomacular traction after intravitreal ocriplasmin

Vitreomacular traction and vitreomacular traction with macular hole are conditions associated with visual disturbance and decreased visual acuity. Recent studies have demonstrated that ocriplasmin is effective and safe in specific patient groups with vitreomacular traction, and hence is recommended as a treatment option. We present here a case report of a patient treated with intravitreal ocrip...

Improvement of Diabetic Macular Edema in the Fellow Eye After Monocular Intravitreal Bevacizumab Injection

Introduction: Because of bilateral involvement in many cases with diabetic macular edema, Intravitreal bevacizumab injection perform in both eyes. There are some reports of therapeutic effects in the fellow eye after monocular injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factors. In this study we describe a case of bilateral improvement of diabetic macular edema following unil...

Looking at ocriplasmin as a new option in eye disease.

Vitreomacular traction (VMT) syndrome and macular hole (MH) are disease processes that are caused by anomalous separation of the vitreous from the macula. Until now, management of these conditions has involved vitreoretinal surgery. Clinical trials have shown that a single intravitreal microplasmin (ocriplasmin) injection can induce separation of the vitreous from the macular surface and thereb...

Enzymatic vitreolysis with ocriplasmin for vitreomacular traction and macular holes.

BACKGROUND Vitreomacular adhesion can lead to pathologic traction and macular hole. The standard treatment for severe, symptomatic vitreomacular adhesion is vitrectomy. Ocriplasmin is a recombinant protease with activity against fibronectin and laminin, components of the vitreoretinal interface. METHODS We conducted two multicenter, randomized, double-blind, phase 3 clinical trials to compare...
