The expanding spectrum of aetiologies causing retinal microcystic macular change.
In this issue of Brain, John Kisimbi et al. (2013) describe spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings in a cohort of patients with Tanzanian endemic optic neuropathy, a disorder of unknown aetiology, leading to severe bilateral subacute optic neuropathy. They describe severe retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thinning and concomitant microcystic macular changes in 12.5% of this ...
متن کاملThe clinical spectrum of microcystic macular edema.
PURPOSE Microcystic macular edema (MME), originally described in British literature as microcystic macular oedema (MMO), defines microcysts in the inner nuclear layer (INL) of the retina. Microcystic macular edema was described in multiple sclerosis (MS), but can be found in numerous disorders. The presence of MME has important prognostic and therapeutic implications; however, the differential ...
متن کاملSimultaneous segmentation of retinal surfaces and microcystic macular edema in SDOCT volumes
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive imaging modality that has begun to find widespread use in retinal imaging for the detection of a variety of ocular diseases. In addition to structural changes in the form of altered retinal layer thicknesses, pathological conditions may also cause the formation of edema within the retina. In multiple sclerosis, for instance, the nerve fiber an...
متن کاملMicrocystic macular degeneration from optic neuropathy.
Sir, We read with great interest the article by Gelfand et al. (2012) in the June issue of Brain. The authors described in detail vacuolar macular changes in the inner nuclear layer of patients with multiple sclerosis. This ‘microcystic macular oedema’ was associated with decreased visual acuity and a higher disability score. We found similar microcysts in the macular inner nuclear layer of a 1...
