Association between cystoid spaces on indocyanine green hyperfluorescence and optical coherence tomography after vitrectomy for diabetic macular oedema.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To study retrospectively the characteristics of residual indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence after ICG-assisted vitrectomy and the association with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) findings in diabetic macular oedema (DMO).

Methods

Thirteen consecutive eyes of 12 patients for whom fundus near-infrared fluorescence and 20° retinal sectional images were obtained using HRA2 and Spectralis OCT, respectively, 5 days after vitrectomy combined with ICG-assisted inner limiting membrane peeling for DMO. The relationship between the characteristics of the ICG hyperfluorescence and the cystoid spaces in the outer plexiform layer (OPL) on SD-OCT images was evaluated.

Results

A total of 390 well-demarcated areas of ICG hyperfluorescence were delineate
