Abstract
Amaç: Yaşa Bağlı Makula
Dejeneresansı (YBMD) sonucu gelişen koroid neovaskülarizasyonlarının farklı
tiplerinde, verteporfin kullanılarak yapılan fotodinamik tedavinin (FDT)
sonuçlarını değerlendirmektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Ege
Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Göz Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalı’nda YBMD'ye bağlı
koroid neovaskülarizasyonlarında FDT uygulanmış 40 hastanın 42 gözü çalışma
kapsamına alındı. Olguların tedavi öncesi ve sonrası görme keskinlikleri,
kontrast duyarlılıkları ve floresein anjiografideki (FA) lezyon özellikleri
kaydedildi. FDT uygulanmış hastaların 7. gün, 6. hafta, 12. hafta ve sonrasında
ise bir sorun izlenmediği takdirde 1 yıl süre ile 3 ayda bir olan kontrolleri
değerlendirildi. Hastaların 3 ay arayla çekilen FA görüntülerinde lezyonun
sızdırma özelliklerine göre tedavinin başarısı değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan 28 erkek, 12 kadın hastanın yaş
ortalaması 64.50±12.00 yıldı.
Lezyonların 18'i (%43) saf klasik, 4'ü (%9) minimal klasik, 15'i (%36)
predominant klasik, 5'i ise okkült idi. Bu lezyonlardan 31'i (%74) subfoveal,
11'i (%26) ise juxtafoveal; 18'i (%43) iyi sınırlı, 28'i (%67) ise kötü
sınırlıydı. Lezyon türleri açısından predominant klasik grupta başarı oranı
daha yüksek bulundu, ancak bu fark anlamlı değildi (p=0.062). Subfoveal
yerleşimli 31 gözden 30'unda başarı sağlanırken (%97), juxtafoveal yerleşimli
11 gözün 8'inde (%73) başarı sağlanmıştı (p=0.049). Tedavi öncesi lezyon çapı,
görme keskinliği, kontrast duyarlılık ve uygulanan FDT sayısı açısından
başarılı ve başarısız grup arasında anlamlı fark yoktu. Başarılı grupta son
muayenede saptanan görme keskinliği düzeyi belirgin olarak yüksekti (p=0.015).
Kontrast duyarlılıkta tedavi sonrasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzelme
saptandı (p=0.028).
Sonuç: FDT, YBMD'ye bağlı gelişen özellikle subfoveal koroid
neovaskülarizasyonlarında görme kaybı riskini azaltmaktadır. Ancak son yıllarda
yaygın kullanılan vasküler endotelyal büyüme faktörü̈ inhibitörlerinin
başarılı sonuçları nedeniyle
FDT'nin YBMD tedavisinde sınırlı bir kullanımı mevcuttur.

Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the results of photodynamic therapy
(PDT) using verteporfin in different types of choroidal neovascularization
resulting from age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Materials and Methods: Forty-two eyes
of 40 patients were included in the study. Visual acuity, contrast sensitivity
and lesion characteristics in fluorescein angiography (FA) of the cases were
recorded before and after PDT. The patients were evaluated at the 7th day, 6th
week, 12th week, and afterwards, if no problem was observed, every 3 months in
a year.
We evaluated the success or failure rates of the treatment.
Results: Mean age of the patients was 64.50±12.00 years.
Eighteen of the lesions (43%) were pure-classical, 4 (9%) minimally-classical,
15 (36%) predominant-classical and 5 occult. Of these lesions, 31 (74%) were
subfoveal and 11 (26%) juxtafoveal; 18 (43%) well-defined, and 28 (67%)
poorly-defined. When examined in terms of lesion types, success rate was higher
in predominant-classical group, but this difference was not statistically
significant (p=0.062). Success was achieved in 30 of 31 eyes with subfoveal
lesions (97%) and in 8 of 11 (73%) eyes with juxtafoveal lesions (p=0.049). The
visual acuity level determined at the last visit in the successful group was
significantly higher than that of the unsuccessful group (p=0.015).
Statistically significant improvement in contrast sensitivity was achieved
after treatment (p=0.028).
Conclusion: PDT reliably reduces the risk of visual loss
in subfoveal choroidal neovascularization due to AMD. However, the use of PDT
in the treatment of AMD is limited because of the higher
success of recently used vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitors.
