Multifocal electroretinogram in clinically significant diabetic macular edema.

چکیده
OBJECTIVE To explore the multifocal electroretinogram in patients with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy with clinically-significant macular edema. METHODS Forty-one eyes with clinically significant macular edema were tested. The latencies and amplitudes of average responses of 5 eccentric rings from 0 to 26 degrees relative to the fixation point were compared with normal values obtained from 13 nondiabetic subjects. RESULTS Local electroretinogram responses were significantly delayed and decreased in amplitude in patients with clinically-significant macular edema. CONCLUSION Multifocal electroretinogram can be used to quantify the visual function in clinically significant macular edema.

The retina is a vascularized neural structure that is composed of blood vessels, neurons, glial cells, and microglia. Diabetes produces a number of well-known alterations to the vascular structure of the eye, but also causes significant retinal neurodegeneration. The response of the retina to visual stimulation has long been evaluated using the electroretinogram. This method assesses the summed...
