Microcystic macular oedema confirmed, but not specific for multiple sclerosis.
Sir, a potentially new sign in multiple sclerosis was described in Brain (Gelfland et al., 2012). This new sign, microcystic macular oedema, is intriguing because it is considered to indicate breakdown of the blood-retinal barrier with or without microglial inflammation (Gelfland et al., 2012). There are earlier reports on vascular instability and leakage during inflammation in multiple scleros...
متن کاملMicrocystic macular oedema in multiple sclerosis is associated with disease severity.
Macular oedema typically results from blood-retinal barrier disruption. It has recently been reported that patients with multiple sclerosis treated with FTY-720 (fingolimod) may exhibit macular oedema. Multiple sclerosis is not otherwise thought to be associated with macular oedema except in the context of comorbid clinical uveitis. Despite a lack of myelin, the retina is a site of inflammation...
متن کامل[Cystoid macular oedema after fingolimod treatment in multiple sclerosis].
CASE REPORT A woman, treated with immunomodulatory and immunosuppressive drugs for multiple sclerosis, developed macular oedema 4 months after oral fingolimod administration. The patient was previously seen by an ophthalmologist, with a normal anterior segment and funduscopic examination. Four months after the treatment she referred to decreased visual acuity in both eyes. The funduscopic and O...
متن کاملMacular Oedema in Idiopathic Macular Telangiectasia Type 1 Responsive to Aflibercept but Not Bevacizumab
We report a patient with macular oedema due to type 1 macular telangiectasia responding to intravitreal aflibercept injection. A 51-year-old man was diagnosed with type 1 idiopathic macular telangiectasia (IMT) in the right eye. The macular oedema was refractory to initial treatment with intravitreal bevacizumab and argon laser photocoagulation. The patient was then treated with intravitreal af...
متن کاملMicrocystic macular oedema, thickness of the inner nuclear layer of the retina, and disease characteristics in multiple sclerosis: a retrospective study.
BACKGROUND Microcystic macular oedema (MMO) of the retinal inner nuclear layer (INL) has been identified in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) by use of optical coherence tomography (OCT). We aimed to determine whether MMO of the INL, and increased thickness of the INL are associated with disease activity or disability progression. METHODS This retrospective study was done at the Johns Hop...
