- The study focuses on verifying the placement of fluocinolone (FAc) corticosteroid implants in the vitreous cavity after injection, using various clinical and imaging methods.
- It involved 12 patients at Bordeaux University Hospital, where different techniques like indirect biomicroscopy and ultrasonography were employed to check for the implant’s presence immediately and one week post-injection.
- Results showed that UBM ultrasonography was the most effective method, detecting 75% of implants, highlighting the necessity of accurate assessment methods for implant positioning.

- Macular edema affects about 20% of people with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and can impair central vision, with corticosteroid injections showing effectiveness in treatment.
- A case study outlines a 34-year-old woman with persistent macular edema who had previously not responded to other treatments and found success with a fluocinolone acetonide implant.
- The results indicate that fluocinolone acetonide could be a promising treatment option for patients with persistent, steroid-dependent macular edema associated with RP.
