Intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide for treatment of cystoid macular oedema in patients with retinitis pigmentosa

In our small series, all patients showed an anatomic improvement in CMO after intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide. However, in three out of five patients, despite good anatomic results, no improvement in VA was achieved. Because of the limitations of this pilot study, it is difficult to explain why no improvement in VA was achieved despite good anatomic results in some patients. Further study with longer follow-up periods and larger series is warranted to assess the efficacy of the treatment.
