Biomicroscopic study of the vitreous in eyes with macular pucker after retinal detachment surgery. 1985

M P Avila, and C L Trempe, and J M Kozlowski, and A E Jalkh, and M Takahashi, and C L Schepens

The posterior vitreous condition of 43 eyes with macular pucker following retinal detachment surgery was studied using the El Bayadi-Kajiura preset lens mounted on a slit lamp. The posterior vitreous was found to be attached in one eye (2%), completely detached in 29 eyes (68%), and partially detached with residual vitreoretinal adhesion to the macular area in 13 eyes (30%). Macular pucker with partial posterior vitreous detachment was significantly more frequent (P less than .05) in eyes with refractive errors of -4 diopters or less. That condition was also accompanied by a higher incidence of dye leakage in the macular area by fluorescein angiography, a shorter time lapse between retinal detachment surgery and development of macular pucker, and a worse visual outcome than was found in eyes with complete posterior vitreous detachment.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008266 Macula Lutea An oval area in the retina, 3 to 5 mm in diameter, usually located temporal to the posterior pole of the eye and slightly below the level of the optic disk. It is characterized by the presence of a yellow pigment diffusely permeating the inner layers, contains the fovea centralis in its center, and provides the best phototropic visual acuity. It is devoid of retinal blood vessels, except in its periphery, and receives nourishment from the choriocapillaris of the choroid.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D011183 Postoperative Complications Pathologic processes that affect patients after a surgical procedure. They may or may not be related to the disease for which the surgery was done, and they may or may not be direct results of the surgery.

D012160 Retina The ten-layered nervous tissue membrane of the eye. It is continuous with the OPTIC NERVE and receives images of external objects and transmits visual impulses to the brain. Its outer surface is in contact with the CHOROID and the inner surface with the VITREOUS BODY. The outer-most layer is pigmented, whereas the inner nine layers are transparent. Ora Serrata
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.
