简介:目的比较急性中心性浆液性脉络膜视网膜病变(CSC)的患侧与对侧眼视网膜频域相干光断层扫描(OCT)的图像特征。方法应用频域OCT对30例(60眼)单眼发病急性CSC患者患侧和对侧眼的黄斑部视网膜显微结构进行检测,比较患侧组与对侧组黄斑中心凹外核层厚度、光感受器层(IS/OS层)、视网膜色素上皮(RPE)形态差异。结果所有30例患者患侧眼均有不同程度黄斑部视网膜浆液性脱离,对侧眼中有4眼(13.3%)存在轻度视网膜浆液性脱离;患侧组黄斑中心凹外核层厚度均值为(95.32±24.87)μm,对侧组为(98.80±14.36)μm,两组差异无统计学意义(t=1.627,P=0.110)。患侧组中IS/OS层厚度均匀一致者12眼(40.0%),对侧组20眼(66.7%);患侧组IS/OS层厚度均匀一致伴内外节缺损、不均、凸起增厚者共18眼(60.O%),对侧组共10眼(33.3%),差异有统计学意义(X2=4.28,P=0.038)。患侧组中出现RPE异常者有24眼(80.0%),对侧组中有8眼(26.7%),差异有统计学意义(x。=17.143,P=0.000)。结论频域OCT能清晰显示急性CSC患者的细微病理结构改变,单眼发病CSC患者中一部分对侧眼存在IS/OS层和RPE异常,但是其发生率较患侧眼低。(中国眼耳鼻喉科杂志,2013,13:165—167)
简介:目的:观察小牛血去蛋白提取物眼用凝胶对复发性翼状胬肉术后角膜切口修复的应用疗效。方法:将68例68眼行复发性翼状胬肉术后发生角膜切口水肿的患者随机分为2组,每组34例。对照组常规应用双氯芬酸钠滴眼液加抗生素滴眼液同时加用贝复舒滴眼液交替点眼,4次/d。治疗组除每日应用双氯芬酸钠滴眼液加抗生素滴眼液交替点眼外,使用小牛血去蛋白提取物眼用凝胶,4次/d,疗程1mo,于用药前和用药后3,7,14d;1mo分别对患者主觉症状、体征、角膜切口修复情况进行对比分析。结果:复发性翼状胬肉术后3,7,14d,治疗组角膜切口水肿较对照组明显消退,切口修复较快,主觉症状在短时间消退,术后1mo,两组无显著性差异。结论:小牛血去蛋白提取物眼用凝胶对复发性翼状胬肉术后角膜切口的早期修复起效时间短、舒适度好、安全性良好,对减少术后感染性角膜病的发生及术后角膜散光有良好的作用。
