Triangle retinal detachment- ultrasonic identification of massive periretinal proliferation in eyes with opaque media. 1977

D G Fuller, and H Laqua, and R Machemer

The demonstration of a triangle configuration retinal detachment by B-scan ultrasonography in eyes with opaque media is diagnostic of advanced massive periretinal proliferation. Eyes with this type of retinal detachment have a very poor surgical prognosis even with modern vitrectomy techniques.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.
