Abstract

A follow-up study on 93 patients suffering from diabetic preretinopathy showed different courses of development. Predominantly occlusive types of microangiopathy were significantly more predisposed to a rapid progression of lesions than predominantly exudative types or occlusive exudative types. In addition, transition of one type into the other and reversibility of all symptoms were observed.

Zusammenfassung

Eine prospektive Studie an 93 Patienten mit diabetischer Präretinopathie zeigt verschiedene Verlaufsformen. Fälle mit überwiegend okklusiver Mikroangiopathie sind mit statistischer Signifikanz für eine raschere Progredienz prädisponiert als überwiegend exsudative Verlaufsformen. Außerdem wurden Übergänge von einer Form in die andere sowie eine Rückbildung aller Symptome beobachtet.
