[Topographic study of angiographic lesions in central serous retinopathy (author's transl)]. 1977

G Bonamour, and M Bonnet, and J D Grange, and C Pingault, and M Heireis

The 595 angiographic lesions observed in 233 eyes of 169 patients affected with central serous retinopathy have been classified upon their localization. 498 angiographic lesions (83.7 percent) are located within a three optic disc diameter area centered by the foveola. Among them 20 are located right behind the foveola, 113 are located in the upper temporal quadrant, 166 in the upper nasal quadrant and 85 in the lower temporal quadrant. The relative density of the angiographic lesions decreases from the center of the macula to the periphery. 97 angiographic lesions (16.3 percent) are located beyond the three optic disc diameter central area. 41.1 percent of the lesions are situated behind the macula or/and behind the papillo-macular bundle. Therefore only 58.9 percent of the angiographic lesions observed in central serous retinopathy can be treated without any risk by means of photocoagulation.

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.

D011859 Radiography Examination of any part of the body for diagnostic purposes by means of X-RAYS or GAMMA RAYS, recording the image on a sensitized surface (such as photographic film).

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.

D003388 Cranial Fossa, Posterior The infratentorial compartment that contains the CEREBELLUM and BRAIN STEM. It is formed by the posterior third of the superior surface of the body of the sphenoid (SPHENOID BONE), by the occipital, the petrous, and mastoid portions of the TEMPORAL BONE, and the posterior inferior angle of the PARIETAL BONE.

D001100 Arachnoiditis Acute or chronic inflammation of the arachnoid membrane of the meninges most often involving the spinal cord or base of the brain. This term generally refers to a persistent inflammatory process characterized by thickening of the ARACHNOID membrane and dural adhesions. Associated conditions include prior surgery, infections, trauma, SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE, and chemical irritation. Clinical features vary with the site of inflammation, but include cranial neuropathies, radiculopathies, and myelopathies.

D012173 Retinitis Inflammation of the RETINA. It is rarely limited to the retina, but is commonly associated with diseases of the choroid (CHORIORETINITIS) and of the OPTIC DISK (neuroretinitis). Neuroretinitis
