[Origin of macular edema caused by pars planitis].
In four cases with clinical diagnosis of "pars planitis" fluorescein angiography was performed and macular area observed. Permeability disturbances were noted in retinal capillary area. This points to the vitreous changes being secondary to an inflammation of superficial retinal layers. For this reason in those conditions the name "hyalo-retinitis" used by Gärtner seems to be more correct than the limiting diagnosis of "pars planitis".
