Retinal dialysis: pathology and pathogenesis

W E Smiddy, W R Green

    Retina (Philadelphia, Pa.)
    |January 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Retinal dialysis, a tear in the retina, is often caused by trauma but can be idiopathic. Lattice degeneration may play a role in its development.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Retinal dialysis is a significant cause of retinal detachment.
    • Understanding its etiology is crucial for effective treatment and prevention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To histopathologically review 103 cases of retinal dialysis.
    • To identify and discuss the major etiological mechanisms.
    • To explore the potential role of lattice degeneration.

    Main Methods:

    • Histopathological review of 103 retinal dialysis cases.
    • Analysis of etiological factors and clinical features.
    • Literature review of retinal dialysis.

    Main Results:

    • Most cases were trauma-related; some were idiopathic, with two bilateral cases.

  • Evidence suggests lattice degeneration may contribute to retinal dialysis.
  • Detailed histopathological features were analyzed.

    • Conclusions:

    • Retinal dialysis has diverse etiologies, including trauma and idiopathic factors.
    • Lattice degeneration is a potential contributing factor.
    • Further research into idiopathic and bilateral cases is warranted.
