Estudiar los factores de riesgo sistémico del edema macular clínicamente significativo (EMCS) en una población de diabéticos. Método: Se revisaron las historias clínicas de los pacientes diabéticos diagnosticados de edema macular clínicamente significativo entre 1995 y 2005. Se evaluó la asociación entre EMCS y HgbA1c, comienzo y duración de la diabetes, hipertensión arterial, índice masa corporal, nivel de lípidos, sexo, fumar y excreción urinaria de albúmina. Resultados: 208 ojos fueron considerados con los criterios del estudio. Los pacientes tenían un rango de edad entre 15 y 82 años (media, 66 años) y tenían entre 8 y 64 años (media, 47,5 años) de historia de diabetes. Factores de riesgo significativos para desarrollar EMCS fueron edad avanzada, cifras elevadas de HgbA1c, hipertensión arterial, fumar, valores elevados de colesterol y LDL-colesterol y niveles elevados de proteinuria y microalbuminuria. Conclusiones: Independientemente del tipo de diabetes, los pacientes con diabetes mellitus de larga evolución tienen un elevado riesgo de desarrollar ARTÍCULO ORIGINAL ABSTRACT Objective: We examined the influence of non-ophthalmic parameters as risk factors of clinically significant macular edema (CSME). Methods: The authors reviewed clinical records of all clinically significant macular edema between 1995 and 2005. The association between the presence of CSME and HgbA1c, onset and duration of diabetes, blood pressure, body mass index, lipid status, sex, tobacco smoking and urinary albumin excretion was evaluated. Results: 208 eyes met the study criteria. Patients ranged in age from 14 to 82 years (mean, 66 years) and had 8 to 64 years (mean, 47.5 years) of history of diabetes. Significant risk factors for CSME were older age, high levels of HgbA1c, high values of blood pressure, tobacco smoking, high cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol and high levels of proteinuria and microalbuminuria. Conclusion: Independent on the type of diabetes, patients with long standing diabetes have a high risk to develop diabetic maculopathy, but other closelyrelated risk factors are hypertension, hyperglyce
Neuromyotonia must be considered when evaluating a patient with intermittent diplopia.
