  • Title: Optical coherence tomography for classification and clinical evaluation of macular edema in patients with uveitis.
    Author: Iannetti L, Accorinti M, Liverani M, Caggiano C, Abdulaziz R, Pivetti-Pezzi P.
    Journal: Ocul Immunol Inflamm; 2008; 16(4):155-60. PubMed ID: 18716950.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To study use of optical coherence tomography (OCT) for macular edema in uveitis. METHODS: In total, 44 patients with uveitis and macular edema underwent OCT. Data obtained were correlated with anatomic type, duration of uveitis, and visual acuity (VA). RESULTS: Both cystoid macular edema (CME) and diffuse macular edema (DME) correlate negatively with VA, although statistically CME showed stronger correlation (p = .02). Also CME had higher mean foveal thickness than DME (p < .01). Negative correlation between foveal thickness and VA (p < .05) was observed. CME correlates with uveitis duration (p < .01). CONCLUSIONS: CME and macular thickening correlate with VA reduction and uveitis duration.
