AIM To assess efficacy and complications of trans-Tenon's retrobulbar infusion of triamcinolone acetonide for posterior uveitic inflammation. METHODS Non-randomised, uncontrolled, retrospective study of 51 eyes of 37 patients who underwent triamcinolone infusion for vitritis, cystoid macular oedema (CMO), or posterior retinal vasculitis using a long blunt cannula via an incision made through ...

The results of a study (Zuckner, 1961) evaluating the therapeutic response of intra-articularly administered triamcinolone acetonide* (hereafter referred to as TActn) and triamcinolone diacetate* (TDac) suggested that large doses of these hormones had a profound systemic effect. The injection of either of these hormones in a dose of 100 mg. into a knee joint affected by rheumatoid arthritis res...

AIM To evaluate factors influencing change in visual acuity (VA) after intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide as treatment of exudative age related macular degeneration (AMD). METHODS This prospective, interventional, comparative non-randomised clinical case series study included 94 patients (99 eyes) showing progressive exudative AMD with occult (n = 61 eyes), minimally classic (n...

Uveitis, glaucoma, and cystoid macular edema frequently develop in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. The authors describe a case of cystoid macular edema associated with juvenile idiopathic arthritis that had not responded to intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide and bevacizumab but improved significantly following intravitreal injection with a dexamethasone 0.7 mg implant.

OBJECTIVE Pharmacokinetic studies have shown that the biological effect of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) is equivalent to that of triamcinolone hexacetonide (TH), if used at double the dosage. In this study we compared the efficacy of intra-articular TA at a dose twice that of TH in symmetrically involved joints, in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). METHOD Children with active...

purpose : to evaluate the intraocular pressure (iop) rising effect of anterior versus posterior subtenon injection of triamcinolone in eyes with retinal vein occlusion methods : this prospective nonrandomized study was performed on 57 eyes of 57 patients with macular edema due to retinal vein occlusion. 26 eyes received posterior subtenon injection of 40 mg triamcinolone acetonide [pstt] and 31...

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of legal blindness in individuals over 60 years of age, characterized by the dysfunction of retinal pigmented epithelium cells, specifically in the macular area. Despite several treatment options, AMD therapy remains difficult, especially for exudative AMD. Multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), with great plasticity and immunomodula...

PURPOSE To assess the efficacy of intravitreal use of triamcinolone acetonide combined with laser photocoagulation for the treatment of diffuse diabetic macular edema and to compare it with the separate use of each treatment. METHODS After systemic clinical control, thirty patients with diffuse diabetic macular edema were divided into 3 treatment groups: (1) macular grid photocoagulation; (2)...

BACKGROUND The major cause of visual impairment in diabetic patients is macular edema. The failure of laser photocoagulation in a large subgroup of patients with clinically significant diabetic macular edema has prompted interest in other treatment methods. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of an intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide for clinically significa...
