Non leaking cystoid macular edema

ABSTRACT

The current study was conducted to report the discrepancy in findings between Spectral Domain-Optical Coherence Tomography [SD-OCT] and Fundus Fluorescein Angiography [FFA] examinations of the macular area regarding Cystoid Macular Edema [CME] in patients with diabetic retinopathy [DR] or retinal vein occlusion [RVO]. This was a retrospective observational case study, involved 205 eyes of 179 patients. Eyes with diabetic retinopathy or retinal vein occlusion those underwent SD-OCT and FFAwere included in the study. All eyes had SD-OCT detected CME. In the current study, SD-OCT detected CME was associated with diabetic retinopathy in 56.1% of eyes and with retinal vein occlusion in 43.9% of eyes. CME associated with DR or RVO was undetected on FFA examination in 12.2% and 7.3% of eyes, respectively. Both SD-OCT and FFA were complementary to each other in the detection of CME in eyes with DR or RVO. The use of both SD-OCT and FFA aided in the diagnosis, the choice of the treatment option and the final visual outcome:
