BACKGROUND Acute retinal necrosis is a rare but devastating ocular condition. We report two cases of acute retinal necrosis in immunocompetent patients, complicated by cystoid macular oedema and treated with intravitreal dexamethasone (OZURDEX®) implant. RESULTS Two patients diagnosed with acute retinal necrosis were treated with intravenous acyclovir. Both of them developed cystoid macular o...

Three premature infants with no family history of eye disease showed bilateral cystoid maculopathy on post-mortem examination. These macular lesions are indistinguishable macroscopically from the macular lesions of sex-linked juvenile retinoschisis. Cystoid change was observed at various vertical retinal levels. The oldest child had a schisis cavity within the nerve fibre layer. All cases had r...

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...

Bietti crystalline retinal dystrophy is a rare, inherited disorder whose hallmark is the presence of retinal crystal deposits associated with later chorioretinal degeneration. This condition may rarely be complicated by the development of cystoid macular oedema leading to rapid visual decline. Currently, treatment options for this complication of Bietti dystrophy are limited and the visual prog...

Cystoid macular edema is an uncommon, but well known, side effect of latanoprost. Two cases of bilateral and simultaneous cystoid macular edema associated with latanoprost use are described, which complete resolution of the edema is observed upon drug discontinuation.

INTRODUCTION Pseudophakic cystoid macular edema is a common cause of poor vision after cataract surgery, and topical corticosteroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are used for its treatment. We investigated the effectiveness of difluprednate (Durezol(®), recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration) in the treatment of cystoid macular edema, assisted with spectral domain ...

Purpose To report the efficacy and safety of interferon alpha 2b in the treatment of pseudophakic cystoid macular edema resistant to conventional therapy. Observations A 64-year-old patient presented with pseudophakic cystoid macular edema in her left eye, which developed two months after an uncomplicated cataract surgery and was resistant to multiple topical NSAIDs and multiple intravitreal ...

EDITOR,—Cystoid macular oedema is a well known complication of chronic uveitis and is the major cause of visual disability accounting for 29% of blindness and 41% of visual impairment in this group. ±Therapy consists of control of inflammation with both topical and systemic agents. Symptomatic treatment with acetazolamide orally and grid laser photocoagulation have been shown to reduce cystoid ...
