Posterior subtenon and intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide for diabetic macular edema.

Aim: To evaluate retroprospectively the clinical consequences of posterior subtenon (PSTT) and intravitreal (IVT) triamcinolone acetonide injections in diabetic macular edema (DME) refractory to conventional grid laser photocoagulation.

Material And Methods: Eyes with clinically significant DME refractory to grid laser photocoagulation were assessed for the inclusion in the study. Complete ophthalmic examination with fluorescein angiography (FA) and optic coherence tomography (OCT) were performed before and in the 1st, 3rd, and 6th months of the treatment.

Effects of intravitreal triamcinolone injection on macular edema and visual prognosis in central retinal vein occlusion.

Aim: To determine the effect of intravitreal triamcinolone injection on macular edema and the visual prognosis in cases with CRVO.

Methods: Eyes with CRVO were classified as ischemic or nonischemic according to extend of retinal capillary nonperfusion. The patients received intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injection (4 mg/0.

Postoperative secondary glaucoma and anterior staphyloma in a patient with homocystinuria.

We describe recurrent bilateral homocystinuria-related lens dislocation into the anterior chamber in a patient who had postoperative anterior staphyloma and secondary intractable aphakic glaucoma in only one eye. We discuss the possible causes of and treatment modalities for this complication.

Optical coherence tomographic assessment of diabetic macular edema: comparison with fluorescein angiographic and clinical findings.

Purpose: To compare the optical coherence tomographic (OCT) features with clinical and fluorescein angiographic (FA) findings in patients with diabetic retinopathy.

Methods: In a retrospective study ophthalmologic examination together with FA and OCT images were obtained from 195 eyes of 110 patients with different stages of diabetic retinopathy and OCT images were obtained from 40 eyes of 20 control subjects. Fluorescein leakage characteristics were organized into five groups: no leakage (1), focal (2), diffuse (3), combined focal+diffuse leakage (4) and cystoid (5).
