Excessive permeability in diabetic maculopathy.

Excessive permeability in diabetic maculopathy.

Four cases of diabetic maculopathy with excessive permeability are described. Fluorescence angiography is distinctive, showing profuse early leakage from the entire capillary bed of the posterior pole. Careful studies have failed to reveal any cause for this excessive permeability response at the macula or any constantly associated medical abnormality. The prognosis for visual acuity is poor, a...

Diabetic maculopathy.

Progress in diabetic maculopathy.

[Diabetic retinopathy and maculopathy].

Diabetic retinopathy and maculopathy usually develop and progress without symptoms. Fundus screening is mandatory, since only advanced stages cause symptoms. Signs and symptoms that suggest the development of retinopathy are: ▶ sudden drop of visual acuity ▶ non-correctable drop of visual acuity If the macula is affected: ▶ impaired vision ▶ impaired colour vision ▶ blurred vision ▶ “floaters” ...

OCT parameters in patients with diabetic maculopathy

The treatment of the clinically significant macular edema in patients with diabetic maculopathy by the intravitreal administration of corticosteroids and antiangiogenic factors requires rapid and more accurate investigation methods aimed at following up the dynamic evolution of the structural parameters of the retina. The purpose of the study is to compare the outcome of OCT parameters for each...
