[Macular edema and chronic renal insufficiency].
The authors report two cases of macular oedema in two patients suffering from chronic renal failure. One of the patients, a women aged 36, with a renal transplant, presented with intra-retinal macular oedema, caused by a marked impairment of renal function. In the second case, the macular oedema, associated with papilloedema occurred in a patient aged 56, the day after renal dialysis and spontaneously regressed. The mechanism of macular oedema, seems to be related to modifications of the osmotic pressure and is probably associated with renal dialysis as shown in the second case.
