Role of Corticosteroid Treatment for Diabetic Macular Oedema in Pregnancy
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Diabetic macular oedema (DME) is the leading cause of reversible blindness in diabetes mellitus. Intravitreal steroids have been proven to be effective for treatment of DME. Diabetic patients who become pregnant carry higher risks of development and further progression of diabetic retinopathy and DME. We report a case of a pregnant diabetic who was treated with intravitreal dexamethasone bilaterally and responded satisfactorily with resolution of the DME and recovery of vision.
