Macular Migration toward the Optic Disc after Inner Limiting Membrane Peeling for Diabetic Macular Edema
نویسندگان
چکیده
METHODS. In this retrospective case series, 72 eyes of 57 consecutive patients who underwent vitrectomy for DME were included. Retinal images dissecting the fovea horizontally were obtained using OCT before and after vitrectomy. After identification of the disc margin and the presumed foveal center, the papillofoveal distance was measured on the OCT images. The association of the distance with retinal thickness and peeling of the inner limiting membrane (ILM) was evaluated.

Macular migration toward the optic disc after inner limiting membrane peeling.
PURPOSE To investigate the papillofoveal distance and its association with retinal thickness on optical coherence tomography (OCT) images after vitrectomy for diabetic macular edema (DME). METHODS In this retrospective case series, 72 eyes of 57 consecutive patients who underwent vitrectomy for DME were included. Retinal images dissecting the fovea horizontally were obtained using OCT before ...
متن کاملAuthor response: macular migration toward the optic disc after inner limiting membrane peeling for diabetic macular edema.
We thank Jonas for their interest in our article. They raised a question about whether the shortening of the papillofoveal distance after inner limiting membrane (ILM) peeling for diabetic macular edema (DME) depends on the shift of the neural retina on the RPE sheet or the sliding of Bruch’s membrane on the spongy choroid. Several forces or membranes might contribute to the globe morphologies ...
متن کاملVitrectomy with peeling of the inner limiting membrane for treating diabetic macular edema.
PURPOSE to evaluate the results of pars plana vitrectomy with peeling of the inner limiting membrane (ILM stained with infracyanine green (IfCG) in 26 patients with diabetic macular edema, and to identify which factors are associated with a better postoperative visual outcome. PATIENTS AND METHODS 26 patients with diabetic macular edema were included in the study. A pars plana vitrectomy with...
متن کاملSurgical Versus Medical Treatment for Diabetic Macular Edema: A Review
We aimed to compare the results of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling, an alternative therapeutic strategy, with those of medical treatment for chronic macular edema. We conducted a review of the literature on the microscopic, anatomical, and functional reasons for performing PPV with ILM peeling in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME). We searched t...
متن کاملComplications of Macular Peeling
Macular peeling refers to the surgical technique for the removal of preretinal tissue or the internal limiting membrane (ILM) in the macula for several retinal disorders, ranging from epiretinal membranes (primary or secondary to diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment…) to full-thickness macular holes, macular edema, foveal retinoschisis, and others. The technique has evolved in the last two ...
