Diabetic papillopathy (DP), a form of optic disc edema, is characterized by decreased visual acuity and mild to severe visual field defects. While there is no consensus about treatment, some publications report that intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) injection may be beneficial. To our knowledge, however, no research reports on the effects of combining anti-VEGF injection and oral steroids in DP treatment.

Purpose: To analyse baseline imaging characteristics and factors affecting poor visual acuity in diabetic papillopathy.

Methods: This was a retrospective, observational study conducted at a tertiary eye care centre in eyes with a diagnosis of diabetic papillopathy. Demographic data including age, gender, duration of diabetes, type of diabetes, HbA1c values and other systemic co-morbidities were recorded.

Peripapillary fluid: Obvious and not so obvious!

University of Pittsburgh, UPMC Eye Center, Pittsburgh, United States. Electronic address:

Intraretinal or subretinal fluid in the peripapillary area can be clinically visualized in conditions such as peripapillary choroidal neovascularization, optic disc pit maculopathy, and optic nerve head tumors and granulomas. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) helps to visualize peripapillary fluid in many other chorioretinal conditions such as peripapillary pachychoroid syndrome, posterior uveitis, central retinal vein occlusion, malignant hypertension, hypotonic maculopathy as well as neuro-ophthalmological conditions such as glaucoma, microcystic macular edema and disc edema due papilledema, non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, neuroretinitis, and diabetic papillopathy. Often, the differential diagnosis of peripapillary fluid is a bit tricky and may lead to misdiagnosis and improper management.

Purpose: To offer a comprehensive review of the available data regarding non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy and its phenocopies, focusing on the current evidence to support the different existing aetiopathogenic hypotheses for the development of these conditions.

Conclusions And Importance: Due to the limited array of responses of the neural tissue and other retinal structures, different aetiopathogenic mechanisms may result in a similar clinical picture. Moreover, when the insult occurs within a confined space, such as the optic nerve or the optic nerve head, in which different tissues (neural, glial, vascular) are highly interconnected and packed together, determining the primary noxa can be challenging and may lead to misdiagnosis.
