Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment

Abstract: Patients often present after trauma with symptoms of vision loss or loss of a field of vision from a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). This study aims to equip the health care provider with knowledge on the recognition, evaluation, and management of RRD to improve communication between the patient and consultant. The article highlights the symptoms, signs (including ophthalmoscopic findings), and pathogenesis of RRD. Causes and presentations of RRD are considered. Treatment paradigms are discussed and s… Show more

“…Em consequência disso, pode haver perda importante e potencialmente irreversível da acuidade visual, caso não haja detecção e intervenção precoces. A incidência anual de DRR foi relatada em 12 casos a cada 100.000 pessoas e a maior parte dos casos ocorre em pessoas entre 40 e 70 anos de idade 3 . As taxas de incidência de descolamento não traumático são similares entre ambos os sexos, no entanto, existe uma preponderância pelo sexo feminino, devido as mulheres representarem maior parte na população mundial 4 .…”

“…14 The most common type of RD is rhegmatogenous RD, which is caused mainly by retinal breaks owing to vitreous traction. 15 Although vitrectomy surgery has contributed greatly to the successful treatment of severe retinal diseases, including RD, it is difficult to recover all cases of RD completely. Patients with severe and/or long-standing RD or those with unsuccessful surgical treatment tend to suffer PVR.…”

“…Retinal detachment (RD) is a serious disease that can cause blindness [ 1 ]. The incidence of RD was reported to be 0.6–1.8 per 10000 people [ 2 ], and the most common type of RD is rhegmatogenous RD (RRD), which is mainly caused by retinal breaks owing to vitreous traction [ 3 ]. Despite recent advances in surgical methods and technology that have improved the rates of structural recovery following surgery, [ 4 , 5 ] it is difficult to recover all cases of RRD completely.…”
