Macular Edema Following Silicone Oil Tamponade for Retinal Detachment: A Literature Review

Macular edema (ME) is a major cause of reduced vision following intraocular surgery. Although the pathophysiology of ME is not completely understood, inflammatory mediators play a key role. The incidence of ME following pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade varies between 13% and 27%. ME...

Zusammenfassung:Macular edema (ME) is a major cause of reduced vision following intraocular surgery. Although the pathophysiology of ME is not completely understood, inflammatory mediators play a key role. The incidence of ME following pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade varies between 13% and 27%. ME usually resolves spontaneously following silicone oil removal, but treatment may be required for resistant cases. In this review, the mechanisms of ME formation after pars plana vitrectomy, its incidence, and its possible therapeutic approaches are discussed.
