    Abstract:

    AIM:To evaluate the efficacy of intravitreaI Becacizumab (IVB)combined with grid photocoagulation for the treatment of cystoid macular edema(CME)associated with central retinaI vein occlusion(CRVO).METHODS:Tirty-two cases(32 eyes)of CME associated with CRVO made a definite diagnosis by FFA were divided into two groups randomly.IVB combined with grid photocoagulation group(A group):16 eyes.Grid photocoagulation group(B group):16 eyes.Best corrected visual acuity(BCVA),central macular thickness(CMT),intraocular pressure(IOP) and complications at 4 weeks,12 weeks,24 weeks after treatment in these eyes were examined and compared between the two groups.RESULTS:BCVA of A group had improved and CMT were 351.81±57.68μm,320.44±58.94μm,296.50±52.15μm respectively at 4,12,24 weeks after treatment.Both of them had statistical significant difference before and after treatment.CMT of B group were 526.56±88.92μm,441.06±94.06μm,374.31±106.07μm respectively at 4,12,24 weeks after treatment.There was statistical significant difference before and after treatment.IOP of the two groups had no statistical significant difference before and after treatment.The energy and laser spots of B group were much more than those of A group.CONCLUSION:IVB combined with grid photocoagulation for the treatment of CME associated with CRVO has better efficacy than grid photocoagulation alone.
