Abstract

Purpose: The topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug bromfenac 0.09% has a potential benefit in uveitic macular edema (UME) with a safe side effect profile. The aim of the study is to assess the efficacy of bromfenac sodium solution in the treatment of UME.

Methods: The charts of 10 patients with macular edema due to noninfectious uveitis treated with bromfenac 0.09% were reviewed retrospectively. The main outcomes studied were the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and the central retinal thickness (CRT) compared 4 months before bromfenac initiation, at the time of its initiation, and 4 months later.

Results: Twelve eyes of 10 patients were included. BCVA and CRT were unchanged 4 months befoew bromfenac compared to the time of bromfenac initiation (P = 1.0 and P = 0.2, respectively). There were a significant improvement in BCVA after 4 months of bromfenac treatment (P = 0.043) and a significant decrease in CRT (P = 0.002). Subretinal fluid resolved completely in 8/9 eyes, and 4/9 eyes had a complete resolution of cystoid macular edema at 4 months.

Conclusion: Bromfenac may be a useful addition to the treatment of UME.

溴芬酸0.09%治疗继发于非感染性葡萄膜炎的黄斑水肿。

目的:局部非甾体抗炎药溴芬酸0.09%对葡萄膜性黄斑水肿(UME)有潜在的益处，且副作用安全。本研究的目的是评估溴芬酸钠溶液治疗UME的疗效。方法:回顾性分析0.09%溴芬酸治疗非感染性葡萄膜炎所致黄斑水肿10例的临床资料。研究的主要结果是比较溴芬酸起始治疗前4个月、起始治疗时和4个月后的最佳矫正视力(BCVA)和视网膜中央厚度(CRT)。结果:纳入10例患者12只眼。与溴芬酸起始治疗时间相比，溴芬酸治疗前4个月的BCVA和CRT没有变化(P = 1.0和P = 0.2)。溴芬酸治疗4个月后BCVA显著改善(P = 0.043)， CRT显著降低(P = 0.002)。8/9只眼的视网膜下积液完全消失，4/9只眼的黄斑囊样水肿在4个月时完全消失。结论:溴芬酸可能是治疗UME的有效补充。
