Cystoid macular edema after retinal detachment surgery. 1980

T A Meredith, and F H Reeser, and T M Topping, and T M Aaberg

One hundred eyes in 98 patients were studied by fluorescein angiography and stereo color photography six weeks after successful scleral buckling surgery. Twenty-five percent of 67 phakic eyes and 40% of 33 aphakic eyes demonstrated cystoid macular edema. Older phakic patients were at significantly greater risk to develop cystoid macular edema than younger phakic patients. Seventeen percent of successfully repaired eyes demonstrated distortion of the macula by preretinal membranes; 16 of these 17 eyes showed leakage of fluorescein dye into the surrounding retina sometimes also causing cystoid edema. Either cystoid macular edema or macular distortion was present in 38% of the phakic eyes and 64% of the phakic eyes after successful retinal detachment surgery.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008266 Macula Lutea An oval area in the retina, 3 to 5 mm in diameter, usually located temporal to the posterior pole of the eye and slightly below the level of the optic disk. It is characterized by the presence of a yellow pigment diffusely permeating the inner layers, contains the fovea centralis in its center, and provides the best phototropic visual acuity. It is devoid of retinal blood vessels, except in its periphery, and receives nourishment from the choriocapillaris of the choroid.

D011183 Postoperative Complications Pathologic processes that affect patients after a surgical procedure. They may or may not be related to the disease for which the surgery was done, and they may or may not be direct results of the surgery.

D012163 Retinal Detachment Separation of the inner layers of the retina (neural retina) from the pigment epithelium. Retinal detachment occurs more commonly in men than in women, in eyes with degenerative myopia, in aging and in aphakia. It may occur after an uncomplicated cataract extraction, but it is seen more often if vitreous humor has been lost during surgery.
