BACKGROUND
Acetazolamide as inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase, in glaucoma therapy, has an effect on lowering intraocular pressure. In addition to this primary effects, we attempted to determine the effect on the cornea after phacoemulsification. In our study, we determined the effects of systemically
Normal auditory function depends on maintenance of the unique ion composition in the endolymph. Carbonic anhydrase in the inner ear has been suggested to play an important role in maintaining the ion concentration and regulating fluids of the inner ear. Cochlear dysfunction may indicate changes in
Medical treatment of cystoid macular edema (CME) with carbonic anhydrase inhibitors has been known for over a decade. Initial observations were based on experimental data which suggested that acetazolamide can increase fluid absorption across the retinal pigment epithelium. Carbonic anhydrase
OBJECTIVE
To report the combination cocktail of strong steroid, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and carbonic anhydrase inhibitor drops for treatment of cystoid macular edema.
METHODS
This is a retrospective case series of patients with cystoid macular edema managed with a topical
BACKGROUND
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAI) are often used in the treatment of cystoid macular edema (CME) in retinitis pigmentosa (RP) patients. The aim of this meta-analysis is to gain a better understanding of the overall efficacy of CAI treatment.
METHODS
Databases including PubMed, EMBASE,
Recently, Gao et al. published an experimental study based on the pathophysiology of diabetic macular edema in Nature Medicine (Nat Med. 2007 Feb;13(2):181-8). They found an increased amount of carbonic anhydrase in the vitreous, which causes a pH shift. This activates the kallikrein-kinin system
OBJECTIVE
Gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina (GACR) is a rare chorioretinal dystrophy characterized by a deficiency of the enzyme ornithine aminotransferase, inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern.
METHODS
We report a case of a 17-year-old girl with GACR, for whom the level of serum
To investigate the functional and anatomical results of subtenon triamcinolone acetonide injection (TA) in eyes with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) that had cystoid macular edema (CME) unresponsive to carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAIs).This is a prospective, OBJECTIVE
To determine the efficacy and prognostic factors associated with carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAI) in the treatment of cystoid macular edema (CME) in retinitis pigmentosa (RP).
METHODS
This was a cohort study of 81 subjects who were assessed before and after treatment. Spectral-domain
Alström syndrome is a rare genetic ciliopathy caused by a mutation in the ALMS1 gene. The syndrome is characterized by cone-rod dystrophy, dilated myocardiopathy, childhood obesity and sensorineural hearing loss. To date, cystoid macular edema has not been reported.
A female affected by Alström
BACKGROUND
Observations made by Cox, Bird et al. (1988), who first used acetazolamide (Diamox) for treatment of macular edema of various origin in a higher number of patients, let assume a positive effect of this therapy on fluid accumulation specifically inside the inner retinal layers. Based on
