Diabetic Retinopathy01:27

Diabetic Retinopathy

DefinitionDiabetic retinopathy is a microvascular complication of diabetes affecting the retinal blood vessels.Risk FactorsDiabetic retinopathy is present in almost all individuals with type 1 diabetes and more than 60% of those with type 2 diabetes after two decades of disease.The risk increases with poor glycemic control, hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking, pregnancy, and puberty.Although cataracts and glaucoma are also more frequent in people with diabetes, retinopathy remains the leading...
Anatomy of the Eyeball01:20

Anatomy of the Eyeball

The eye is a spherical, hollow structure composed of three tissue layers. The outer layer — the fibrous tunic, comprises the sclera — a white structure — and the cornea, which is transparent. The sclera encompasses some of the ocular surface, most of which is not visible. However, the 'white of the eye' is distinctively visible in humans compared to other species. The cornea, a clear covering at the front of the eye, enables light penetration. The eye's middle layer, the vascular tunic,...
Glaucoma: Overview01:25

Glaucoma: Overview

Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...
Photoreceptors and Visual Pathways01:22

Photoreceptors and Visual Pathways

At the molecular level, visual signals trigger transformations in photopigment molecules, resulting in changes in the photoreceptor cell's membrane potential. The photon's energy level is denoted by its wavelength, with each specific wavelength of visible light associated with a distinct color. The spectral range of visible light, classified as electromagnetic radiation, spans from 380 to 720 nm. Electromagnetic radiation wavelengths exceeding 720 nm fall under the infrared category, whereas...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Retinal Surgery

Background:

  • Choroidal nevi are common benign growths in the eye.
  • Progression of choroidal nevi to retinal tears is infrequent.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a unique case of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).
  • To describe an RRD associated with a retinal tear overlying a choroidal nevus.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a 66-year-old female patient.
  • Ocular examination revealed a macula-off RRD originating from a tear at a choroidal nevus.
  • Surgical intervention included vitrectomy, cryotherapy, gas tamponade, cataract surgery, and biopsy.

Main Results:

  • Successful surgical repair of the RRD.
  • Histopathological analysis of the choroidal nevus was performed.

Conclusions:

  • RRD secondary to a tear overlying a choroidal nevus is a rare clinical event.
  • This condition presents distinct diagnostic and therapeutic challenges for ophthalmologists.
