Triamcinolone-assisted neodymium:YAG laser vitreolysis. Ophthalmic surgery, lasers & imaging : the official journal of the International Society for Imaging in the Eye [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging] Journal article | | Title | Triamcinolone-assisted neodymium:YAG laser vitreolysis. | | Author(s) | Hosseini H, Mehryar M, Farvardin M | | Institution | Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Poostchi Eye Research Center, Shiraz, Iran. | | Source | Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging 2008 May-Jun; 39(3):234-6. | | Abstract | Triamcinolone acetonide was injected into the vitreous cavity to treat a case of cystoid macular edema. After the injection, slit-lamp examination was performed and the vitreous strands adhered to the remaining edge of the posterior capsule were clearly visualized. The strands were dissected with neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) laser shots. A technique that can be used to facilitate diagnosis and Nd:YAG laser dissection of vitreous strands in cases with complications of adhesion of vitreous strands into anterior segment structures is described. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
