Descriptor English: Macular Edema
Descriptor Spanish: Edema Macular
Descriptor edema macular
Entry term(s) edema macular cistoide
edema quístico macular
edema retiniano central cistoide
Scope note: Acumulación de líquido en la capa externa de la MÁCULA LÚTEA que es consecuencia de daños intraoculares o sistémicos. Puede desarrollarse en forma de patrón difuso en el que la mácula se muestra engrosada o puede adquirir el característico aspecto petaloide que recibe la denominación de edema macular cistoide. Aunque el edema macular puede asociarse con diversas afecciones de base, se observa más comúnmente después de una intervención quirúrgica intraocular, enfermedad oclusiva venosa, RETINOPATÍA DIABÉTICA, y una enfermedad inflamatoria del segmento posterior.

Scope note: Fluid accumulation in the outer layer of the MACULA LUTEA that results from intraocular or systemic insults. It may develop in a diffuse pattern where the macula appears thickened or it may acquire the characteristic petaloid appearance referred to as cystoid macular edema. Although macular edema may be associated with various underlying conditions, it is most commonly seen following intraocular surgery, venous occlusive disease, DIABETIC RETINOPATHY, and posterior segment inflammatory disease.
