[The cytology of subretinal fluid in retinal detachment]

The Authors discuss the ever topical problem of subretinal liquid genesis in patients affected with retinal detachment. For this and they study its cytology and in the light of the results they have obtained, they draw the following conclusion: 1. Cells are extremely rare. 2. Such cells are partly monocytes (roundish, with a large nucleus and positive esterases), partly histiocytes and hyalocytes (elongated or polygon-shaped, with cytoplasmatic extensions and negative esterases).
