Retinoschisis is an eye disease characterized by the abnormal splitting of the retina's neurosensory layers, usually in the outer plexiform layer.Retinoschisis can be divided into degenerative forms which are very common and almost exclusively involve the peripheral retina and hereditary forms which are rare and involve the central retina and sometimes the peripheral retina.
Retinal detachment occurs when the retina separates from the layers underneath it. [2] This impairs its function, potentially leading to vision loss. [2] [4] Retinal detachment often requires urgent medical intervention to prevent permanent vision loss. [3] Retinal detachments are divided into three main types based on their distinct causes. [6]
A retinal tuft is a gliotic degeneration of the retina composed of focal adhesions in the extracellular matrix joining the retina and the posterior hyaloid of the eye. [4] [5] Retinal tufts are a common lesion of the retina and under 1% of these tufts are thought to lead to retinal detachment.
Generally, diseases outlined within the ICD-10 codes H30-H36 within Chapter VII: Diseases of the eye, adnexa should be included in this category. Wikimedia Commons has media related to Disorders of choroid and retina .
Alterations in receptor distribution can be the result of epiretinal membrane, neuroretina detachment and/or re-attachment, or retinoschisis. Macropsia caused by surgical re-attachment of macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is not symmetrical around the fovea, resulting in differences size changes in the horizontal and vertical ...
Intraretinal microvascular abnormalities (IRMA) are abnormalities of the blood vessels that supply the retina of the eye, a sign of diabetic retinopathy. [1] IRMA can be difficult to distinguish from and is likely a precursor to retinal neovascularization. One way to distinguish IRMA from retinal neovascularization is to perform fluorescein ...
Many times, an optic pit is asymptomatic and is just an incidental finding on examination of the eye by a physician. However, some patients may present with the symptoms of a posterior vitreous detachment or serous retinal detachment. This is because optic pits are associated with these disorders and are even speculated to be the actual cause ...
