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

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...

RPE tear, and it's OCT features in a nutshell

RPE tear can occur in vascularized PEDs due to a complication of intravitreal AntiVEGF treatment, which causes a rapid contraction of CNVm, inducing traction on the RPE surface and shrinking of RPE surface. On OCT, the RPE rip will indent the retina with increased hyperreflectivity in contracted RPE with underlying shadowing hinders choroidal view in contrast to the area where RPE where it ripped of which only Bruch's membrane is visible and increasing the visibility of the underlying choroid. RPE tear Thus two opposite forces, the regression of CNVm and remaining attached RPE, other causes such as laser or spontaneous can occur. However, the AntiVEGF treatment continued despite the RPE tear. Please check  Clinical guidelines for ARMD  and  course of clinical changes in RPE

Approaching serous PED

Serous PED is a result of fluids leak via Bruch’s membrane to space between Bruch’s and RPE, causing an increased in hydrostatic pressure separating RPE from Bruch’s membrane. Fundus image  On clinical examination, a smooth, well-defined border of RPE elevation along with a slight pale appearance PED is associated with subretinal fluid or intraretinal hemorrhage. Fundus image showing serous PED with subretinal fluids and drusen Optical coherence tomography  On OCT, PED features smooth or irregular RPE elevation, which contains clear fluids that looks like a homogeneous hyporeflective area. PED may feature sub / intraretinal fluids accompanied by ellipsoid zone disruption. OCT cross-section showing serous PED with subretinal and intraretinal fluids Fluorescein fundus angiography On FFA, serous PED shows a distinct area of early hyperfluorescence, which increases in the mid and late phase due to dye pooling. FFA is useful to detect the presence of neovascular membrane. Fundus im...
