Complications include subretinal neovascularization and pigment epithelial detachment. [36] The disease can re-occur causing progressive vision loss. There is also a chronic form, titled as type II central serous retinopathy, which occurs in approximately 5% of cases.
It is described as an exudative maculopathy, characterised by multiple recurrent serosanguineous retinal pigment epithelial detachments. [3] Elevated reddish to orange lesions on fundus examination, dilated inner choroidal vessels, and polypoidal vascular structures beneath the retinal detachment are other features of PCV. [4]
If the continuous congestion in the blood vessel system of the choroid causes pressure damage to its fine blood vessels (capillaries) and a continuous leakage of fluid in the direction of the adjacent Bruch's membrane and retinal pigment epithelium, the resulting damage in the pigment epithelium, which can be seen on funducsopy or retinal ...
Retinal detachment is a condition where the retina pulls away from the tissue underneath it. [1] [2] [3] It may start in a small area, but without quick treatment, it can spread across the entire retina, leading to serious vision loss and possibly blindness. [4] Retinal detachment is a medical emergency that requires surgery. [2] [3]
Ignipuncture is an outdated treatment method. The term retinal detachment is used to describe a separation of the neurosensory retina from the retinal pigment epithelium. [60] There are several modern treatment methods for fixing a retinal detachment: pneumatic retinopexy, scleral buckle, cryotherapy, laser photocoagulation and pars plana ...
Through in vitro studies, alkylphosphocolines were observed to impede cell division of human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells. This has therapeutic implications on the treatment of proliferative vitreoretinopathy , as this condition can lead to retinal detachment through the abnormal growth and contraction of retinal membranes with RPE ...
The pigmented layer of retina or retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is the pigmented cell layer just outside the neurosensory retina that nourishes retinal visual cells, and is firmly attached to the underlying choroid and overlying retinal visual cells. [1] [2]
Fuchs spots are caused by regression of choroidal neovascularization. [3] Since it is a medical sign, treatment is given for the actual cause. Photothermal laser ablation, photodynamic therapy, anti-VEGF therapy, or a combination of these are the treatment options of choroidal neovascularization due to pathological myopia.
