“…10,11,12,13 Srour et al 10 administered intravitreal dexamethasone implant in 3 patients with mean central macular thickness (CMT) of 443±185 µm (range 213-619 µm) and mean visual acuity of 20/160 (20/50-20/200) at baseline. One month after dexamethasone implantation, mean CMT improved to 234±68 µm and mean BCVA improved to 20/100.…”

“…One month after dexamethasone implantation, mean CMT improved to 234±68 µm and mean BCVA improved to 20/100. Saatci et al 11 reported a case with bilateral ME secondary to RP. Visual acuity of the patient was 2/10 in both eyes and he had been under topical dorzolamide treatment 3 times a day for nearly a year without any change in VA. One week after the injection his visual acuity improved to 4/10 and ME resolved.…”

Macular edema (ME) in retinitis pigmentosa (RP) often impairs central vision dramatically. A 41-year-old woman diagnosed with RP was referred to our outpatient clinic due to severe visual deterioration in both eyes. The patient was treated with topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, topical corticosteroids and intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injections, but her ME recurred. Intravitreal 0.7 mg dexamethasone implant (Ozurdex, Allergan) was administered into both eyes without complications. On the fourth day after both injections, visual acuity improved and ME almost totally resolved. No recurrence was observed at follow-up six months later.

“…Il existe 3 cas rapportés dans la littérature d'OM compliquant des rétinopathies pigmentaires traités par injection d'implant de dexaméthasone [35][36][37], et une petite série rétrospective de 4 yeux [38]. Tous décrivent une efficacité sur la réduction d'épaisseur maculaire, mais parfois sans succès fonctionnel, et avec une tendance à la récidive dès 2 à 3 mois après l'injection [35,38].…”

“…The previous reports on intravitreal steroid administration in eyes with RP-related CME [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39] are summarised in Table 1. The treatment effect of dexamethasone implant can be seen in a case with bilateral RP-related CME (Figures 1 and 2).…”

P eripheral visual field constriction and night blindness are the main features of retinitis pigmentosa (RP). However, central vision is often impaired dramatically even in the early stages of the disease when macular complications such as cystoid macular oedema (CME) occur. The pathogenesis of RP-related CME is still not well explained. Therefore, several treatment alternatives such as topical, oral and systemic pharmacotherapy; laser photocoagulation and even vitreoretinal surgery are employed by the clinicians. In this review, we summarise the clinical data on intravitreal pharmacotherapeutic agents and focus mainly on the steroids and anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents.

The prevalence of cystoid macular oedema (CME) is reported to be 10-20% in the eyes of patients with RP. 4,5The pathogenesis of RP-related CME is still unclear. Blood-retinal barrier (BRB) impairment, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) pump disturbance, inflammation, autoimmunity and vitreoretinal interface changes may be among the potential causes of CME. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] Fishman et al. 6 examined 15 RP patients with vitreous fluorophotometry. All patients showed abnormally high concentrations of fluorescein within the vitreous which was a sign of BRB abnormality. Larsen et al. 7 demonstrated that BRB leakage was markedly increased in six RP patients with the help of ocular spectrofluorophotometry. Vinores et al. 9 investigated the immunohistochemical staining for albumin on paraffin sections of 22 normal and 29 RP eyes.Electron microscopic immunocytochemical staining for albumin was performed on additional six normal and nine RP-affected eyes. Two-thirds of the eyes with RP demonstrated extr...
