| Summary: |
Diabetic maculopathy is a
very common complication of diabetic retinopathy. It
could be the first symptom of visual loss and in some
cases it is also the first sign of diabetes at all. In
type 1 diabetes mellitus, maculopathy is mostly
associated with non-proliferative retinopathy (42%). But
in type 2 diabetes mellitus maculopathy is the most
common in proliferative retinopathy (56%). Macular edema
caused by vascular leakage should be treated very
quickly. The treatment of choice in diabetic macular
oedema is laser treatment (grid photocoagulation). It
preserves or improves vision in 50% of patients. But
grid photocoagulation is not very effective method of
treatment in case of diffuse diabetic macular oedema. We
are looking for the alternative methods. One of them are
intravitreal or subtenon injections of triamcinolone (triamcinolone
acetonide). This article presents advantages and
disadvantages of those methods. |
