Acute panendothelial retinal leakage in a patient with diabetes mellitus type 1 with a poor metabolic control.

Ophthalmological diabetic complications are one of the main causes of blindness worldwide, so careful diagnostic and management is important. The screening plans implemented in our population made possible an early diagnosis and treatment, trying to reduce the consequences. Diabetic retinopathy is widely known, however we present the case of a rare retinal condition, acute panedothelial retinal leakage. It typically affects patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) type 1 and poor glycemic control. Its diagnosis is important since a strict metabolic control is sufficient for its resolution, avoiding aggressive therapies.
