“…The precise pathogenesis of postoperative CME is likely multifactorial and presumably includes infl ammation. 51,52,53,54 Cataract surgery is a common culprit and when postoperative pseudophakic CME occurs it is referred to as Irvine-Gass syndrome. 51 Through evolution of cataract surgery from extracapsular extraction to phacoemulsifi cation the incidence of CME has decreased.…”

Triamcinolone acetonide (TA) is a corticosteroid that has many uses in the treatment of ocular diseases because of its potent anti-infl ammatory and anti-permeability actions. Intraocular infl ammation broadly referred to as uveitis can result from several causes, including the immune system and after ophthalmic surgery. One of the most common reasons for vision loss with uveitis is macular edema. TA has been used for many years as an intravitreal injection for the treatment of ocular diseases. Several case control studies have been reported showing the effi cacy of TA in the treatment of intraocular infl ammation and associated macular edema caused by Behcet's disease, Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome, sympathetic ophthalmia and white dot syndromes. It has also been shown effi cacious in cases of pars planitis and idiopathic posterior uveitis. Some authors have reported its use in postoperative cystoid macular edema. Many of the studies on the use of TA in controlling intraocular infl ammation and concomitant macular edema showed its effect to be transient in many patients requiring reinjection. Complications can arise from intravitreal injection of TA including elevated intraocular pressure and cataract. Rarely, it can be associated with infectious and non-infectious endophthalmitis. TA may be useful as an adjuvant in the treatment of uveitis and its associated macular edema, especially in patients resistant or intolerant to standard treatment.

“…Pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (PCME), or Irvine-Gass syndrome, is a common complication following cataract surgery (1) . It was first described in 1953 by Irvine, and in 1966, Gass and Norton published an angiographic study of its characteristics (1,2) .…”

“…It was first described in 1953 by Irvine, and in 1966, Gass and Norton published an angiographic study of its characteristics (1,2) . The incidence of clinical (symptomatic) PCME has been greatly reduced because of its advances in surgical techniques (approximately 0.1%-2.35%), and most cases of PCME have spontaneous resolution (2) .…”

“…CME following cataract surgery is currently the most commonly encountered postoperative CME. Post-cataract or Pseudophakic CME was initially described by Irvine SR in 1953 andNorton in 1966; this is why this entity is also known as Irvine-Gass syndrome (Irvine, 1953(Irvine, , 1976Gass & Norton, 1966). Although most patients with CME after cataract surgery are visually asymptomatic, demonstrating only CME findings on angiography and on OCT, clinically significant CME still occurs even after an uncomplicated cataract extraction using phacoemulsification.…”
