Cryotherapy enhances intravitreal dispersion of viable retinal pigment epithelial cells. 1985

Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is the most common cause of failure in retinal reattachment surgery. Giant retinal tears are associated with a particularly high incidence of PVR. It involves the formation of cellular membranes that contract and cause traction retinal detachments. Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells are a major component of these cellular membranes. Displacement of viable RPE cells from their normal position into the vitreous cavity is necessary for membrane formation to occur. This study demonstrates that cryotherapy, but not diathermy, enhances intravitreal dispersion of viable RPE cells in bovine eyes in vitro. This suggests that in some circumstances, excessive cryotherapy may play an exacerbating role in the initiation of PVR.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010857 Pigment Epithelium of Eye The layer of pigment-containing epithelial cells in the RETINA; the CILIARY BODY; and the IRIS in the eye. Eye Pigment Epithelium
D012163 Retinal Detachment Separation of the inner layers of the retina (neural retina) from the pigment epithelium. Retinal detachment occurs more commonly in men than in women, in eyes with degenerative myopia, in aging and in aphakia. It may occur after an uncomplicated cataract extraction, but it is seen more often if vitreous humor has been lost during surgery.
