Diffuse retinal pigment epitheliopathy complicating systemic corticosteroid treatment.
AIMS/BACKGROUND This study was undertaken to confirm the association between diffuse retinal pigment epitheliopathy (DRPE) and systemic corticosteroid therapy. This finding can be of help in determining an aetiological factor in DRPE and associated diseases. Corticosteroids may contribute to the development of leakage in the presence of a retinal pigment epitheliopathy or central serous chorior...
متن کاملDiffuse retinal pigment epitheliopathy: treatment with laser photocoagulation.
PURPOSE To evaluate the effectiveness of laser treatment in eyes with diffuse retinal pigment epitheliopathy (DRPE). METHODS The authors retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 56 consecutive patients (78 eyes) with DRPE. All eyes were treated with digital fluorescein angiography guided argon green laser photocoagulation, direct on the focal retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) leaks and ...
متن کامل[Treatment of two cases of diffuse retinal pigment epitheliopathy with photodynamic therapy].
CASE REPORT We present two patients with Diffuse Retinal Pigment Epitheliopathy (DRPE) treated with verteporfin photodynamic therapy (PDT). The first patient was treated with PDT because there was foveal involvement. The second patient received PDT because he had multiple recurrences of DRPE with poor resolution following previous argon-laser photocoagulation. Resolution of the lesions occurred...
متن کاملCentral serous chorioretinopathy complicating systemic corticosteroid treatment.
Central serous chorioretinopathy developed in 2 cases of retrobulbar neuritis during systemic treatment with corticosteroids. Fluorescein angiography confirmed leakage surrounded by central serous detachment of the retina. In one case the central serous chorioretinopathy recurred 3 times during 3 separate courses of treatment. Spontaneous recovery accompanied a reduction in steroid treatment to...
متن کاملAcute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy associated with diffuse retinal vasculitis and late haemorrhagic macular detachment.
A 20-year-old healthy man suffered rapid loss of bilateral central vision with placoid lesions at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium and choriocapillaris scattered in the posterior pole of the fundus. In addition, acute vasculitis of the retinal veins was remarkable and widespread throughout the posterior pole and midperiphery. These inflammatory signs subsided in several weeks and wer...
