Clinical Takeaways:

  • The detection of MME has important prognostic and therapeutic implications
    • The presence of microcysts has been associated with a poor long-term functional outcome in patients with MS and ARMD compared to those without MME
  • Microcystic changes are most frequently observed in ARMD, post-op after vitrectomy and CE, and in ERMs
    • The percentage of patients with MME due to optic neuropathy, as in this case, is relatively small
