Diabetic macular edema: OCT retinal biomarkers as predictive factors of treatment response and long-term visual outcome

Diabetic macular edema: OCT retinal biomarkers as predictive factors of treatment response and long-term visual outcome

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the leading cause of blindness in working-aged people worldwide[1]. Diabetic macular edema (DME) occurs in nearly 12% of patients with DR and represents a frequent complication of diabetes resulting from disruption of blood-retinal barrier and accumulation of fluid in the retina, which can lead to significant central visual loss if left untreated[2].

Imaging of a retinal arterial macroaneurysm
Imaging of a retinal arterial macroaneurysm

(A) Ultra-widefield fundus imaging shows a case of a 74-year-old woman with a ruptured retinal arterial macroaneurysm (white arrow) in the left eye. Preretinal (green dot) and subretinal hemorrhages (yellow asterisks) are visible at the posterior pole. (B) Optical coherence tomography examination obtained in the acute phase shows large amount of sub-inner limiting membrane hemorrhage (greendots) with outer-layer shadowing, subretinal hyperreflective material (yellow astetisks) and a pocket of subretinal fluid.

Bilateral papilledema associated with retinal hemorrhagic appearance as earliest sign of spinal cord tumor

A 57-year-old obese patient admitted to our ophthalmic department complaining of bilateral sense of eye swelling and mild blurring vision. The anterior segment and pupillary reflex were normal on ophthalmological testing. Likewise, eye movements were preserved and she did not report diplopia in any position of gaze. Dilated fundus examination revealed bilateral hemorrhagic papilledema, pre-retinal hemorrhages in both eyes, dot and blot hemorrhages in the peripheral retina. Visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes. Routine hematological investigations revealed increased both Von Willebrand factor and ristocetin factor and LAC positivity. The lumbar puncture (LP) showed elevated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteins. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with contrast of brain and spinal cord showed signs of intracranial hypertension and the presence of two lesions in continuity with each other respectively located at T12-L1 and L1-L2. Radiologic features were compatible with the diagnosis of ependymoma. A surgical procedure was conducted and confirmed the diagnosis after anatomical pathology analysis.

Isolated Foveal Hypoplasia
Isolated Foveal Hypoplasia

A-60-year-old female patient without remarkable ocular and/ or systemic history referred for a routine eye examination. Best corrected visual acuties were 20/25 in both eyes. SD-OCT scan cutting through the center revealed lack of foveal pit. In OCT-A slabs, FAZ was not appreciated at superficial  and deep capillary plexus levels. She was diagnosed as isolated foveal hypoplasia.

Fish Tail flecks
Fish Tail flecks

A 55-year-old male patient was referred to our medical retina unit for bilateral vision loss occurred in the last year. Fundus examination revealed bilateral macular atrophy with foveal sparing surrounded by yellowish ‘fish tail flecks’ all over the posterior pole. SD-OCT, FAF, FA and ERG were performed. Genetic evaluation confirmed diagnosis of Stargardt Disease.
