[Ultrasonic investigations of the vitreous space in idiopathic retinal detachment (author's transl)]. 1978

A Oksala

63 patients suffering from unilateral, idiopathic detachment of the retina were examined by the A-scan ultrasound method. A vitreous degeneration always appeared in eyes with detachment of the retina, and this was severe in 52 eyes. In the other eye the degeneration of the vitreous body was much smaller and in 11 eyes it was not at all proved by ultrasound. In 24 eyes with detachment of the retina the subretinal space could be examined and it was always acoustically heterogenous. The observations concerning acoustic characteristics of the vitreous body may be important in planning of operative treatment and prophylaxis.

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.

D014822 Vitreous Body The transparent, semigelatinous substance that fills the cavity behind the CRYSTALLINE LENS of the EYE and in front of the RETINA. It is contained in a thin hyaloid membrane and forms about four fifths of the optic globe.
