Method: We examined 81 eyes of 58 consecutive patients diagnosed as DME. The condition of the posterior wall of the posterior precortical vitreous pocket (PPVP) was classified into 4 groups based on 12-mm horizontal and vertical scans through the macula using SS-OCT. Classifications were: Group 1, no posterior vitreous detachments (PVDs); Group 2, perifoveal PVD; Group 3, macular PVD; and Group...

Abstract While combined use of BRAF/MEK inhibitors has elicited dramatic clinical efficacy in incurable melanoma, drug‐associated retinopathy become an emerging adverse event. We present two Japanese men with advanced melanoma who developed visual impairment due to serous retinal detachments (SRDs) cystoid macular edema (CME) immediately after initial administration encorafenib/binimetinib, a B...

BACKGROUND Juvenile X-linked retinoschisis (RS1, OMIM: 312700) is a hereditary vitreoretinal dystrophy characterized by bilateral foveal schisis and, in half of the patients, splitting through the nerve fiber layer in the peripheral retina. In the first decade of life, patients usually develop a decrease in visual acuity. Long-term visual outcomes can be poor due to the limited number of known ...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this retrospective chart review was to evaluate factors associated with improvement of visual acuity after a single sub-Tenon injection of triamcinolone acetonide in patients with diabetic macular edema. METHODS We reviewed the medical records for 63 consecutive eyes with diabetic macular edema treated by sub-Tenon injection of triamcinolone acetonide and assessed at...

This article gives an overview of the vitreal anatomy and its changes in ageing, which have a significant impact on the two main retinal complications after damage of the vitreolenticular barrier, namely retinal detachment and cystoid macular edema. The possible reasons and pathomechanisms for this entity of retinal diseases in the context of anterior segment interaction are highlighted, and a ...

PURPOSE In patients with diabetic macular edema and cysts, quantification of the extent of the cystoid formation has been difficult. This study was performed to introduce reliable measurements of cysts, the quantification of the extent, and its relation to visual acuity. METHODS Fluorescein angiography generated with a scanning laser ophthalmoscope provided detailed recognition not only of th...

AIM To report the success of vitrectomy in eliminating cystoid macular oedema and improving vision in three eyes of two patients with diabetic cystoid macular oedema. In all of the eyes there was no ophthalmoscopic evidence of traction from a posterior hyaloid membrane or from proliferative tissue. METHODS Pars plana vitrectomy was performed on three eyes of two patients with diabetic cystoid...
