光动力疗法治疗渗出型老年性黄斑变性的初步报告

目的 观察单次光动力治疗(photodynamic therapy,PDT)对渗出型老年性黄斑变性(age-related macular degeneration,AMD)脉络膜新生血管(choroidal neovascularization,CNV)的近期治疗效果。 方法 回顾分析经荧光素眼底血管造影(fundus fluorescein angiography, FFA)、吲哚青绿脉络膜血管造影(indocyanine green angiography, ICGA)以及光学相干断层扫描(optic coherence tomography,OCT)检查确诊的5例渗出型AMD患者的7只患眼行PDT治疗前及治疗后随访观察1周和1个月时的临床资料，主要以视力、FFA及(或)ICGA、OCT的改变为观察指标，评价PDT对渗出型AMD的治疗效果。 结果 7只患眼在治疗后1个月视力均无下降。治疗后1周时除1只眼在ICGA后期仍可观察到CNV有轻微渗漏外，其余6只眼FFA及(或)ICGA均显示CNV渗漏停止；OCT检查显示CNV有不同程度缩小，CNV周围视网膜脉络膜水肿及神经上皮脱离明显好转。但在治疗后1个月时观察到有2只眼在原渗漏病灶处又有渗漏灶出现。 结论PDT 治疗可以在短期内封闭AMD的CNV,使其停止渗漏,且不影响视力。(中华眼底病杂志,2000,16:213-216)

Primary study of photodynamic therapy for choroidal neovascularization caused by age-related macular degeneration

Purpose To evaluate short term visual acuity effects of a single photodynamic therapy(PDT) treatment with Visudyne (CIBA Vision Corp, Duluth, Ga) for choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in age related macular degeneration (AMD). Methods Definitely diagnostic AMD patients with classic CNV were treated with PDT (5 cases, 7 eyes). The data of visual acuity testing, ophthalmic examination, color photographs, optic coherence tomography, fluorescein angiograms and indocyanine green angiogram before photodynamic therapy and 1 week ,1 month after it were used to evaluate the effects of a single treatment of PDT with Visudyne. Results The visual acuity of all the treated eyes at the follow up examination at 1 month after PDT were not reduced. Distinct reduction of fluorescein leakage from CNV was noted in all patients by 1 week after PDT. Fluorescein leakage from a portion of the CNV reappeared by 1 month after treatment in 2 eyes. Conclusion PDT with Visudyne achieved short term cessation of fluorescein leakage from CNV without loss of vision or growth of classic CNV in some patients with AMD.
