Course abstract:
Macular edema is the final common pathway of many intraocular and systemic insults. It may develop in a diffuse pattern where the macula appears generally thickened or it may acquire the characteristic petaloid appearance referred to as cystoid macular edema. Although macular edema may be associated with protean underlying conditions, it is most commonly seen following intraocular surgery, venous occlusive disease, diabetic retinopathy, and posterior segment inflammatory disease. As well as clinical suspicion, a wide range of investigations may lead to the diagnosis of macular edema. Fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography provide enhanced visualization of the geometry and distribution of macular edema.
A variety of approaches to the treatment of macular edema have been attempted, with avariable degree of success. The current evidence supporting these options and the clinical trials investigating novel therapeutic choices are presented. This instructional course will encourage through interactive sessions, active discussion of several clinical examples, focusing on the current therapeutic strategies for the management of macular edema.
