Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study was to prove that pneumatic vitreolysis using the drinking bird technique is a safe and effective method for treatment of vitreomacular tractions. Materials and methods: Eleven patients who came to Department of Ophthalmology, University Hospital of Split, with OCT confirmed vitreomacular traction. Patients were treated with pneumatic vitreolysis using sulfur hexafluoride gas, after that they would do the “drinking bird” technique for the next two weeks. Patients were followed-up for 1 month. Results: Eleven eyes of nine patients affected by symptomatic vitreomacular traction (VMT) were included in this pilot study. Three out of eleven patients had broad (≥1500μm) VMT (N=3/11); Eight out of eleven patients had focal (≤1500μm) VMT (N=8/11). One week after the procedure, resolution of VMT had occurred in one out of eleven patients (N=1/11). Two weeks after treatment resolution had occurred in two out of eleven patients (N=2/11). Resolution had occurred in 12.5 percent of patients (N=1/8) with focal and thirty-three percent of patients with broad VMT (N=1/3). Eyes with focal VMT had a shorter time to resolution (mean time to resolution 1 week) than the eye with broad VMT (mean time to resolution 2 weeks). The improvement of the best-corrected visual acuity occurred in two out of three patients with traction resolution. Visual acuity improved in all eyes with achieved resolution from a mean pre-interventional VA of 0,4 on decimal scale to 0,5 postintervention. In none of the patients did intraocular pressure go beyond normal limits. In eyes without resolution macular adhesion length didn’t significantly decrease despite intravitreal gas injection. No complications following the procedure were recorded. Conclusions: Pneumatic vitreolysis using the “drinking bird” technique is a safe and effective alternative for the treatment of vitreomacular traction.

Ciljevi: Cilj ovog istraživanja je ispitati sigurnost i učinkovitost pneumatske vitreolize uz pomoć “drinking bird” tehnike u liječenju vitreomakularnih trakcija. Bolesnici i metode: Jedanaest bolesnika koji su došli u Kliniku za očne bolesti, KBC Split, s potvrđenom dijagnozom vitreomakularne trakcije. Bolesnici su bili podvrgnuti pneumatskoj vitreolizi s plinom sumporovim heksafloridom te su nakon zahvata iduća dva tjedna izvodili povremene nakolone gornjeg dijela tijela prema naprijed. Bolesnici su bili praćeni kroz mjesec dana. Rezultati: Tri bolesnika su imali široku vitreomakularnu trakciju, a osam bolesnika su imali usku vitreomakularnu trakciju. Na prvoj kontroli, tjedan dana nakon zahvata, rezolucija vitreomakularne trakcije nastupila je u jednom od ukupno jedanaest bolesniku (N=1/11). Nakon dva tjedna dva bolesnika imali su rezoluciju vitreomakularne trakcije. Rezolucija je nastupila u trinaest posto bolesnika s uskom i trideset tri posto sa širokom vitreomakularnom trakcijom. Do poboljšanja najbolje korigirane vidne oštrine došlo je u pedeset posto bolesnika u kojih je nastupila rezolucija trakcije. Niti jedan bolesnik nije imao postoperativno poviđenje intraokularnog tlaka. Nikakve komplikacije nakon zahvata nisu bile zabilježene. Zaključci: Pneumatska vitreoliza uz pomoć “drinking bird” tehnike je sigurna i valjana alternativa za liječenje vitreomakularnih trakcija.
