“…Pseudomonas aeruginosa can cause ocular or periocular infections, such as keratitis, conjunctivitis, and dacryocystitis. 1 There have been reports of periocular and eyelid necrotizing fasciitis secondary to Pseudomonas infection and these cases are usually accompanied by systemic illness, malnutrition, alcoholism, or minor ocular trauma. 2 Typically, bilateral ocular involvement and neutropenia is seen.…”

“…However, this approach can have complications that include migration of oil into the anterior chamber, cataract, cornea dysfunction, elevated intraocular pressure, and proliferation of the epiretinal membrane. Another shortcoming is the requirement of a second operation to remove the oil [12]. …”

PurposeTo evaluate the effectiveness of silicone oil tamponade in patients with chronic serous retinal detachment (SRD) persisting for three months after the resolution of ocular inflammation.MethodsA total of 17 eyes of 17 patients diagnosed with chronic SRD persisting for three months after the resolution of ocular inflammation and with high risk of phthisis bulbi by secondary ocular hypotony and macular detachment by subretinal fibrous membrane formation were subjected to surgical intervention. Subjects underwent silicone oil tamponade after surgical drainage of subretinal fluid. Retrospective analyses on anatomical and functional success rates were then performed.ResultsAnatomical success with retinal reattachment was observed in ten of the 17 eyes (58.82%), while functional success measured as difference in the best-corrected visual acuity before and after the surgery were logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) 1.95 ± 0.66 and logMAR 1.51 ± 0.66, respectively (p < 0.05).ConclusionsThis study suggests that, in patients with chronic SRD despite prolonged medical treatment and resolution of inflammation, surgical drainage of subretinal fluid with silicone oil tamponade can achieve anatomical and functional success.

“…Tıbbi malzeme üretimine uygun (medical grade) silikon yağı, enjektör içi polimetilsiloksan (Dow Corning Corp., Michigan, ABD) sürfaktanın içeriğinde %2 ila %3 oranında bulunmaktadır.3 Yapılan çalışmalarda bu miktarın gözde herhangi bir komplikasyona yol açmadığı açıklanmıştır. 4,5 İntravitreal silikon yağı, komplike retina dekolmanı cerrahisinde uzun süreli tamponlayıcı ajan olarak kullanılmakta olup glokom, katarakt, keratopati ve retinopati gibi çeşitli etkilere yol açabildiği bilinmekte olan bir ajandır. Vitreus boşluğuna verilen silikonun zamanla küçük moleküler parçacıklara ayrılması ve emülsifiye olması komplikasyon oranını arttırmaktadır.…”

ÖzetAmaç: İntravitreal enjeksiyon tedavisi gören hastaların takiplerinde enjeksiyon sonrası vitreus içi silikon yağı damlacıklarının komplikasyon olarak görülebildiğini ve bu hastalara yaklaşımımızı açıklamak. Ge reç ve Yön tem: T.C. İstanbul Bilim Üniversitesi Göz Kliniği'ne Aralık 2010 -Şubat 2011 tarihleri arasında intravitreal enjeksiyon tedavisi gören 4 hasta gözün önünde uçuşan cisim yakınmasıyla, 2 hasta da enjeksiyon sonrası rutin kontrol muayenesi için başvurdu. Sonuçlar: Yapılan oftalmolojik muayenede fundus bakısında vitreus içinde serbest silikon yağı damlacıkları gözlendi. Bevacizumab enjeksiyonu yapılmış hastalardan %0,04'ünde intravitreal silikon yağı damlacığına rastlanılmışken ranibizumab enjeksiyonu yapılmış hastaların hiçbirinde bu bulguya rastlanılmadı. Vitreus içi silikon yağı damlacığı görülmesinden önce ortalama enjeksiyon sayısı 4,8 (3-8) olup, hastaların almış oldukları toplam enjeksiyon sayısı ortalaması 6,8 (3-9)'dır. Toplam 6 hastanın 2 tanesi asemptomatik, 4 tanesi semptomatikti. Semptomatik olan 2 hastanın vitreuslarında gözlenen silikon yağı damlacıları optik aks üzerinde bulunduğu için pars plana vitrektomi yöntemiyle çıkarıldı. Vitreus ekstraktlarının patolojik incelenmesinde görülen damlacıkların silikon yağı olduğu doğrulandı. Tar t›fl ma: Çalışmamızda intravitreal bevacizumab enjeksiyonlarında kullanılan enjektör ekipmanının vitreus içi silikon yağı damlacığı komplikasyonunu beraberinde getirebildiği saptanmış olup bu durumun ekipman değişimi ile önlenebileceği görülmüştür. Sum maryPur po se: To demonstrate that post-injection intravitreal silicone oil droplets can be seen as a complication in the follow-up of patients who had undergone intravitreal injection treatment and to discuss our clinical approach to these patients. Ma te ri al and Met hod: Out of 6 patients who had undergone intravitreal injection treatment in T. C. Istanbul Bilim University Ophthalmology Clinic between December 2010 and February 2011, four presented with complaints of floaters and 2 patients applied for followup after intravitreal injection. Re sults: On ophthalmological examination, free silicone oil droplets in the vitreous cavity were observed at fundoscopy. In 0.04% of patients who had undergone bevacizumab injections, intravitreal silicone oil droplets were seen, whereas no oil droplets were seen in patients who had undergone ranibizumab injections. Before silicone oil droplets were seen in the vitreous, the mean number of injections was 4.8 (3-8) and the mean number of the total injections that the patients have undergone was 6.8 (3-9). Two of the 6 patients were asymptomatic and 4 of them were symptomatic. The silicone oil droplets in the vitreous which were on the optical axis were extracted with pars plana vitrectomy method in two symptomatic patients. Pathological examination of the vitreous extracts confirmed that the observed droplets were silicone oil. Dis cus si on: In our study, it was determined that the injector equipment which is used in bevacizumab injections can bring along the c...
