چکیده

that the characteristic peripapillary lesions may be associated with choroidal thickening with or without hyporeflective areas of cavitation (Figure1, Figure2, and video [http://www.archophthalmol.com]). We reaffirm the findings of Toranzo and colleagues; however, we propose the term peripapillary choroidal thickening and cavitation to more accurately reflect a spectrum of optical coherence tomographic findings associated with this lesion.

Viscocanalostomy for refractory glaucoma secondary to intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injection.

Intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) has gained widespread use in the treatment of a variety of neovascular and inflammatory intraocular conditions, including proliferative diabetic retinopathy, chronic cystoid macular edema, and chronic uveitis. Intraocular pressure (IOP) greater than 21 mm Hg occurs in approximately 42% of eyes following IVTA. Most of these patients are su...

The effects and safety of intravitreal triamcinolone injections in the treatment of diabetic macular edema.

BACKGROUND Diabetic macular edema (DME) is responsible for three-quarters of vision-loss cases in diabetic eye disease. In most cases, early treatment by laser photocoagulation can only stabilize vision. Glucocorticoids have been used as a local pharmacological treatment in DME when the inflammation seems to have a pathological background. OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to establish the ...
