Retinal Detachment Dr Soujanya K Assistant Professor, YMCH Mangalore
Specific learning objectives • To understand the definition of RD • To describe pathogenesis of different types of RD • To describe the principle of management of RD
Retinal detachment - definition • Separation of the neurosensory retina (NSR) from the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE).
Potential space Embryology – Neurosensory retina and RPE
Types of RD 1. Rhegmatogenous RD - Primary 2. Tractional RD 3. Exudative RD Secondary
Choroidal haemorrhage • Exudativechoroiditis/retinopathy • Angiomatosis • Toxaemia of pregnancy By fluid
Proliferative retinopathy Retinopathy of prematurity.
Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment Risk factors
Myopia. • Aphakia • Retinal degenerations • Lattice degeneration • Snail track degeneration • White-with-pressure and • white-without-or pressure • Acquired retinoschisis • Focal pigment clumps • Trauma • PVD
Signs • IOP may be low • Marcus Gunn pupil/ RAPD • Altered red reflex
Slightly opaque and Corrugated retinal blood vessels appear darker convex configuration
3 Principles • Sealing the break • Draining sub-retinal fluid • Maintaining chorioretinalaposition
