E11.352
Type 2 diabetes mellitus with proliferative diabetic retinopathy with traction retinal detachment involving the macula
Clinical Classification Guidelines
Medical Intelligence & Overview
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition affecting how your body processes blood sugar (glucose). When diabetes is unmanaged, it can lead to various complications, including eye problems. One serious eye complication associated with type 2 diabetes is proliferative diabetic retinopathy, which can cause new abnormal blood vessels to grow in the retina. These blood vessels can lead to a traction retinal detachment involving the macula, further impairing vision. Recognizing and understanding these conditions is essential for early management and preserving eye health.
Causes & Symptoms
Clinical Causes: Prolonged high blood sugar levels due to unmanaged or poorly controlled diabetes Damage to blood vessels in the retina caused by chronic hyperglycemia Formation of abnormal new blood vessels in the retina (neovascularization) Blood vessel leakage, bleeding, or scar tissue development in the retina
Key Symptoms: Gradual loss of vision in one or both eyes Blurred or distorted vision, especially when looking at fine details Floaters or spots in your field of vision Sudden vision loss if bleeding occurs in the retina Dark or shadowy areas in your visual field Possible visual changes involving the central vision if the macula is affected
Diagnostic & Treatment
Diagnosis Path: Diagnosis involves comprehensive eye examinations performed by an eye care professional. These exams often include:
Treatment Protocols: Effective management of this condition focuses on controlling blood sugar levels and addressing retinal issues. Typical treatments include:
