Quick-staining of whole retina for pathological demonstration of cystoid macular edema.
Quick-staining of the whole central retina with Hematoxylin-Eosin allows for a pathological demonstration of cystoid macular edema (CMC) that closely resembles its clinical fluorescein angiography appearance. Use of the simple new method will result in a better understanding of occurrence, patterns, stages and extent of the cystoid changes as well as of the associated central folding in CME under different clinical conditions. The preservation of a central vision around 20/40 in the present case with distinct CME is emphasized.
