Diabetic macular edema in a glaucomatous patient with a history of endophthalmitis treated with HT laser

Sixty-four-year-old pseudophakic known to be diabetic had a history of steroid-induced glaucoma and successfully treated for endophthalmitis with intravitreal antibiotics due to intravitreal Bevacizumab.


His vision is counting fingers with central diabetic macular edema managed with Hybridthrehold laser (HT laser).

After 24 weeks, there is a reduction of central macular thickening and improved vision up to 20/40

Adult-onset vitelliform macular dystrophy

One of the most common pattern dystrophies similar to best occurs in adulthood, as it appears as oval or yellowish macular material, originated from the debris of photoreceptors, or the RPE phagocytosis failure. Fundus image showing Adult-onset vitelliform macular dystrophy  On OCT, it appears as subretinal vitelliform material accumulation but above the RPE with intact ellipsoid zone and thus explains good visual acuity without an increase in retinal thickness. OCT cross-section showing Adult-onset vitelliform macular dystrophy Fluorescein angiography typically shows hypo-fluorescence at the area of vitelliform accumulation surrounded with hyper-fluorescence increases intensity in late phases; however, it may show liner, patchy, or ring-like, which is inconsistent with visual acuity. Adult-onset vitelliform macular dystrophy itself does not warrant any treatment; however, a regular follow up to monitor any progression to choroidal neovascularization. How would you approa...

Cellophane maculopathy

Caused by an epiretinal membrane, clinically, it appears as a sheen abnormal foveal reflex which features epiretinal membrane, due to inflammatory mediators and proliferation of glial cells secondary to a partial separation of posterior cortical vitreous. Fundus image shows cellophane maculopathy OCT features a hyperreflective band covering the inner retinal layers, causing minimal disturbance of inner retinal tissues. OCT cross-section shows epiretinal membrane  Cellophane maculopathy itself in individuals with good visual acuity may not need any interventions, but it is warranted to do a detailed peripheral retinal exam to rule out retinal tear or hole However, an epiretinal membrane may proliferate further and cause additional tangential traction. Thus, it may induce macular pucker or lamellar/pseudo hole and increase disturbance of inner retinal tissues, macular thickness, and reduction of vision. These patients may require pars plana vitrectomy to remove the epiretinal membran...

Chronic Central Serous Chorioretinopathy fundus image, OCT and FFA in a nutshell

CSCR is a spectrum of pachychoroid FFA, OCT, and Fundus image can aid in the diagnosis and the follow-up. Fundus image  Chronic CSR appears as granular RPE changes along with subretinal fluid and PED. Fundus image showing granular RPE changes due to chronic CSCR Optical coherence tomography OCT shows central subretinal fluid with PED and visible with granular changes of the RPE, along with elongation of photoreceptor cells and increased the thickness of choroid and dilated of Haller's. OCT cross-section showing chronic CSCR featuring subretinal fluids and RPE granular changes Fluorescein Fundus Angiography FFA shows a granular hyper fluorescence in the early through late-phase along with subretinal dye pooling and under the RPE in late phases. Early FFA phase showing granular hyperfluorescence  Mid FFA phase showing the increased intensity of granular hyperfluorescence  Late phase showing Mid FFA phase showing the increased intensity of granular hyperfluorescence wi...
