Proteomic Analysis of Macular Fluid Associated With Advanced Glaucomatous Excavation

Abstract
The association of maculopathy with advanced glaucomatous cupping is known, but controversy remains over the origin of fluid.1-3 Reports using enhanced depth imaging have demonstrated a track communicating from cavities posterior to the lamina cribrosa to the peripapillary retina, and these cavities presumably consist of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).2,3
