Macular oedema with associated uveitis and cataract following presentation of Type 1 diabetes mellitus in severe ketoacidosis.
We present a case of cystoid macular oedema presenting in a newly diagnosed diabetic teenager. She had developed anterior uveitis prior to diabetes and whether this contributed to the subsequent ocular complications remains speculative. The macular changes resolved spontaneously over 6 months without the use of grid laser photocoagulation.
