Case report shows improved visual acuity after treatment for cystoid macular oedema in a diabetic patient, highlighting the role of OCT biomarkers.
Key Points
This case report aims to demonstrate the diagnostic utility of spectral domain optical coherence tomography in assessing cystoid macular oedema linked to branch retinal vein occlusion.
Utilized spectral domain optical coherence tomography for high-resolution imaging.
Assessed visual acuity and Amsler grid results for metamorphopsia in the patient.
administered intravitreal ranibizumab and topical nepafenac as treatment.
Confirmed cystoid macular oedema with increased macula thickness and disruption of retinal layers.
Best-corrected visual acuity improved from 20/80 to 20/40 after treatment.
Resolution of macular oedema was observed during follow-up imaging.
