Intravitreal triamcinolone for diffuse diabetic macular oedema

Intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide for the treatment of diffuse diabetic macular oedema--a case report.

INTRODUCTION Although laser photocoagulation is the primary treatment for diabetic macular oedema, treatment of eyes with diffuse macular oedema has been disappointing. Intravitreal injection of steroids is being investigated for the treatment of diabetic macular oedema. Preliminary results indicate that steroid injections do improve macular oedema, but it is not clear if they improve visual ac...

Intravitreal versus sub-Tenon triamcinolone acetonide for refractory diffuse diabetic macular oedema

Intravitreal injection of triamcinolone for diffuse diabetic macular edema.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical outcome of an intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide as treatment of diffuse diabetic macular edema. PARTICIPANTS This prospective, interventional, clinical case series study included 20 patients (26 eyes) who received an intravitreal injection of 25 mg of triamcinolone acetonide for treatment of diffuse diabetic macular edema. Mean +/- SD follow-...

Diffuse diabetic macular oedema treated by intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide: a comparative, non-randomised study.

AIM To report on visual outcome of patients receiving an intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide for treatment of diffuse diabetic macular oedema. METHODS Prospective, comparative, non-randomised clinical interventional study included 136 patients with diffuse diabetic macular oedema.

[Intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide use in diffuse persistent diabetic macular edema].

PURPOSE To determine the efficacy of intravitreal triamcinolone injections (iv TA) for diffuse persistent diabetic macular oedema (DMO) based on the functional parameter of modification in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and the anatomic parameter of quantitative changes in central macular thickness, as determined by optical coherence tomography (OCT). The secondary outcome is to analyse th...
