Vitreous and intraretinal macular changes in diabetic macular edema with and without tractional components.

Diabetic macular edema (DME) is still one of the main causes of visual impairment. Repeated intravitreal injections of ranibizumab are considered the gold standard treatment, but the efficacy in patients with prominent cystic characteristics remains uncertain. In diabetic retinas, the identification of both antero-posterior and, particularly, tangential tractions is crucial to prevent misdiagnosis of tractional and refractory DME, and therefore to prevent poor treatment outcomes.

SPECTRAL DOMAIN OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY FINDINGS IN A CASE OF WHIPLASH MACULOPATHY WITH INCOMPLETE RESOLUTION.

Purpose: To report spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings of a patient who experienced bilateral visual loss after a motorcycle accident.

Methods: A 51-year-old man presented to the emergency department complaining of bilateral visual loss after a motorcycle falling down. A complete ophthalmologic examination and OCT testing were made on the same day of the accident.
