title: [Irvine-Gass-syndrome (author's transl)].
abstract: Cystic edema or the macula of Irvine-Gass syndrome, accompanied by a diminution of the central vision, is observed in 5% of the patients who have been recently operated for cataract. Only the fluorescin angiography can confirm the diagnosis with certainty. The inflammatory and vitreous theories explain most satisfactorily the pathogenesis of the condition.
