[Use of intracameral triamcinolone in pediatric cataract surgery. Diagnostic and therapeutic usefulness].

ranibizumab in the past 10 months, his vision had reached 20/70, which produced significant difficulties for carrying out his daily activities. Fluorescein angiography was carried out, which revealed a superior extrafoveal leak point temporal to the papilla which caused serous detachment of the entire macula (Fig. 1). After the patient declined the photodynamic therapy option, a single photocoagulation session was performed on the leak point with subthreshold diode laser in a rectangular pattern including 6 treatment points, activating EndPoint Management® (Topcon Medical Laser Systems, Santa Clara, CA, USA) with an intensity of 150 mV and a spot size of 100 . Three weeks later, a significant subretinal fluid reduction was observed and patient vision improved to 20/40. Subsequently, after 8 weeks the subretinal fluid had disappeared entirely and vision had improved to 20/25. No anatomic changes were found in the laser treatment area or in infrared reflectance, or autofluorescence or optic coherence tomography. The option of treating active leak points with subthreshold laser in patients with visual deterioration secondary to CSC3 could constitute a safe and effective alternative for accelerating visual recovery. Future studies are necessary to verify the excellent results obtained in the case presented herein. r e f e r e n c e s
