Using slit lamp or direct/indirect ophthalmoscopy, clinically significant foveal edema and retinal thickening more than 300 μm can be seen as a loss of foveal reflex; this is better visualized using green light to outline the cystic spaces.

Different methods have been used to diagnose PCME. It has been determined from angiographic findings by fluorescein angiography, from clinical findings by fundoscopy, by deterioration in visual acuity, and from optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings of …

2023年8月5日 · Cystoid macular edema may be more likely to develop in patients undergoing PPV than SB, those who underwent more surgeries for RRD repair, those who had prior intraocular surgery, or those who developed an ERM after RRD repair.

Cystoid macular edema is a type of swelling (edema) that happens in your macula. Your macula is the central part of your retina. It plays an important role in your sight because it’s responsible for your central vision. It helps you see color and fine details, like individual bricks on buildings or …

We review the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and etiology of cystoid macular edema (CME). Inflammatory, diabetic, post-cataract, and macular edema due to age-related macular degeneration is described. The role of chronic inflammation and hypoxia and direct macular traction is evaluated in each case according to different views from the literature.

2020年5月28日 · Postsurgical cystoid macular edema can occur after any intraocular surgery but is most commonly described after cataract surgery. The reported incidence for PCME is variable, depending on the specific surgical technique for cataract extraction (intracapsular or extracapsular cataract extraction, phacoemulsification).

2022年4月1日 · Three months after drug discontinuation, the patient presented best corrected visual acuities of 20/20 and 16/20 in the right and left eye, respectively, and normal fundoscopy. Macular edema is a very rare side effect of taxanes, and the etiopathology is still unknown. Edema is usually reversible upon discontinuation of the offending agent.

Eyes suspected of having CME (reduced VA and/or abnormal fundoscopic findings) underwent macular optical coherence tomography. Potential risk factors for CME examined included age, axial length, anterior chamber rebubbling, not using a topical nonsteroidal antiinflammatory after surgery, and concurrent DMEK and cataract surgery (triple-DMEK).

We review the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and etiology of cystoid macular edema (CME). Inflammatory, diabetic, post-cataract, and macular edema due to age-related macular degeneration is described. The role of chronic inflammation and hypoxia and direct macular traction is evaluated in each case …

2008年12月5日 · The different diagnostic methods for evaluating the edema are described. Special attention is given to fluoroangiography and the most modern methods of macula examination, such as ocular coherence tomography and multifocal electroretinography. Finally, we discuss the treatment of cystoid macular edema in relation to its etiology.
