Cystoid macular oedema following retinal detachment surgery

5 April 2022 | | Retina / Uvea / Vitreous | Cystoid macular edema, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, vitreoretinal surgery

There are limited studies examining the incidence and risk factors for postoperative cystoid macular oedema (CMO) following rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair. Postoperative CMO is thought to be due to pro-inflammatory state, where numerous cytokines lead to tight junction dysfunction,...

Foveal displacement after macular hole surgery

5 April 2022 | | Retina / Uvea / Vitreous | Foveal displacement, internal limiting membrane peeling, metamorphopsia, papillofoveal distance, temporal inverted internal limiting membrane flap

Previous studies show that internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling during macular hole surgery is associated with retinal shrinkage (microtubule depolymerization of the axons of the inner retina) and nasal shift of the fovea. A temporal inverted ILM flap technique was...

Occult central retinal artery occlusion

1 February 2022 | | Retina / Uvea / Vitreous | CRAO, Central retinal artery occlusion, OCT, RAO, optical coherence tomography, retinal artery occlusion, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography

Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is a sight-threatening condition resulting from occlusion of the central retinal artery and hypoperfusion of the inner retina. Early on, fundal examination may be normal. The authors present a retrospective case series of 11 patients...
