Abstract
to report the presence of a new structural optical coherence tomography (OCT) finding, namely subretinal pseudocysts, in a patient affected by diabetic retinopathy (DR).
A 52-year-old man affected by type 2 diabetes from 10 years was referred to our department complaining of a visual decline in both eyes. Best corrected visual acuity was 20/100 and 20/80 in the right and left eye, respectively. Fundus examination, fluorescein angiography, and structural OCT revealed the presence of a proliferative DR with diabetic macular edema in both eyes. Interestingly, structural OCT showed subretinal pseudocystic spaces inside the subretinal fluid of the macular neuroretinal detachment.
Subretinal pseudocysts are a new structural OCT entity. We reported for the first time the evidence that pseudocysts may develop in the subretinal space in a case of diabetic macular edema.
