Microcystic 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...
متن کاملThe 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 ...

Sir, it has been reported that microcysts from macular oedema occur in 4.7% of patients with multiple sclerosis (Gelfand et al., 2012). It is now evident that these microcysts do not represent oedema, nor is their occurrence a specific feature of demyelinating disease, because they have been identified in patients with Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy, Kjer's dominant optic atrophy, and opti...
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 کاملRetinal glymphatic system: an explanation for transient retinal layer volume changes?
The most extensive exchange of letters in the history of Brain (Gelfand et al. 2012). was about a minuscule region of the eye, the retinal inner nuclear layer (INL). With the advent of optical coherence tomography (OCT), a forgotten autopsy observation was restored to the top of the current research agenda in multiple sclerosis (MS) (Gelfand et al. 2012). Severe atrophy of the retinal nerve fib...
