Recalcitrant Cystoid Macular Edema? Bilateral Intraretinal Hyporeflective Spaces on SD-OCT as a Presentation of a Pituitary Macroadenoma.

Purpose: To report a case of a pituitary macroadenoma that presented with bilateral intraretinal hyporeflective spaces located primarily in the inner nuclear layer in the macular SD-OCT.

Methods: Case report.

Results: Based on the findings of a macular SD-OCT, a 53-year-old man was considered as having cystoid macular edema secondary to a retinovascular condition. He was treated with intravitreal VEGF inhibitors and corticosteroids with no improvement. Confrontation visual fields suggested a bitemporal defect. MRI confirmed the presence of a non-secreting pituitary macroadenoma compressing the optic chiasm.

Conclusion: Not all intraretinal hyporeflective spaces in the OCT are secondary to a retinal vascular condition. Hyporeflective spaces in the INL on OCT imaging that do not leak on fluorescein angiography may be secondary to optic atrophy from chiasmal compression.

Purpose: To determine clear-cut distinctions between tractional and exudative intraretinal cystoid spaces subtypes.

Design: Retrospective, multicenter, observational case series.

Methods: A cohort of patients diagnosed with intraretinal cystoid spaces and imaged with optical coherence tomography (OCT), fluorescein angiography (FA), blue fundus autofluorescence (BFAF), en face OCT, and OCT angiography (OCT-A) was included in the study. Read More

Biomed Res Int 2019 20;2019:7835372. Epub 2019 Mar 20.

Eye Clinic, University of Cagliari, Cagliari, Italy.

Purpose: To compare and evaluate images of macular cysts with different degrees of reflectivity (from gray to black signal) as observed in B scan spectral domain OCT (SDOCT) and EnFace OCT with decorrelation signal obtained with OCT-angiography (OCTA) in eyes with cystoid macular edema (CME) secondary to diabetic retinopathy (DR) and retinal vein occlusion (RVO).

Methods: Images from 3033 patients affected by CME secondary to diabetes or RVO examined OCTA (Optovue XR Avanti, Optovue, USA) at the University Eye Clinic of Créteil, Hôpital Intercommunal, France, and at the University Eye Clinic of Cagliari, "San Giovanni di Dio" Hospital, Italy, were retrospectively examined. The deep capillary plexus OCTA images and the corresponding EnFace OCT images, both acquired with the same automatic segmentation, had been overlapped to compose RGB color images as red and green channels, respectively, using ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD).

Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto, Japan.

Objective: To study the characteristics of the reflectivity of the cystoid spaces and serous retinal detachment (SRD) on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and the correlation with fluorescein findings in diabetic macular edema (DME).

Design: Retrospective, observational, cross-sectional study.

Participants: Consecutive 134 eyes of 114 patients with clinically significant macular edema for whom SD-OCT and fluorescein angiography (FA) were performed on the same day. Read More

Department of Ophthalmology, Fukushima Medical University School of Medicine, Japan.

Purpose: To describe the optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fluorescein angiography findings in the macula of eyes with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) and reduced central vision.

Methods: Using OCT, clinical examination, and fluorescein and indocyanine green (ICG) angiography, the authors examined eight eyes of seven patients with CSC, an attached macula, and reduced central vision of 20/200 or worse. All had a history of chronic CSC with resolution of the subretinal fluid in the macular area and poor vision. Read More
