| Summary: | The aim: to conduct a clinical and diagnostic evaluation of the effectiveness of the administration of a complex of drugs in the region of hemolymphocirculation in optical neuropathy in patients with edematous form of endocrine ophthalmopathy.Materials and methods. The results of diagnosis and treatment of 31 patients (61 eyes) with optical neuropathy on the background of edematous exophthalmos in endocrine ophthalmopathy were analyzed. To identify hidden forms of optical neuropathy, such studies were prescribed as computer microperimetry on a confocal infrared ophthalmoscope, a complex of electroretinographic studies: registration of maximum ERG, oscillatory potentials. Latent forms of optical neuropathy were detected in 22 cases. In 9 cases, there were obvious forms of optical neuropathy. All patients underwent a 10-day course of intensive complex treatment, consisting of injections into the region of hemolymphocirculation (projection of the pterygoid fossa) No. 6–8 (No. 3–4 on each side) with an interval of 24 hours of a drug mixture, the formulation of which included Lidocaine 20 mg, Dexazone 4 mg, Hemase 3000 UNITS, Dalargin 1 mg.Results. In all patients, there was a pronounced positive dynamics in the form of a significant (from 0.6 to 1.0) increase in visual acuity, a decrease in exophthalmos from (2.0 to 3.0 mm), an increase in color and contrast sensitivity.Conclusions. Due to the violation of venous and lymphatic outflow due to thickening of extraocular muscles and retrobulbar fiber, injections into the hemolymphocirculation region (projection of the pterygoid fossa) of drugs with a wide range of decongestant and metabolic effects are justified, effective and safe. |
