Treatment of pupillary exudative membrane with tissue plasminogen activator after intraocular lens implantation / 眼科

ABSTRACT

Pupillary exudative membrane could occur after cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation. Tissue plasminogen activator (10?g) was injected into the anterior chamber for treatment of the membrane, and its effect and toxicity were investigated. The membrane was dissolved completely in 5 of 7 eases in a mean time of 1.3 hours (0.5-3 hours), and dissolved partially in 2 cases. After the injection, on the second day the membrane recurred in 2eases, and headache and periorbital pain occurred on the involved side in 2 cases. No corneal endothelial toxic reaction was seen.
