Classification of Peripheral Retinal Degenerations. Peripheral retinal degenerations are classified according to the following criteria: Location- equatorial, peripheral, or combined; Pathomorphology- trophic, tractional, atrophic, or combined; Depth of retinal changes- intraretinal, retinal, vitreoretinal, or chorioretinal; Risk for retinal ...

2021年2月15日 · The region anterior to the equator is the peripheral retina. Distribution differences in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) between the peripheral and central retina can result in unusual appearances and cause diagnostic dilemmas (Figure 2).

2024年8月26日 · Gain a deeper understanding of peripheral retinal disease and how optometrists can identify these conditions with fundus photography. A detailed understanding of the anatomy and pathology of the peripheral retina is quintessential for the primary eyecare provider.

Peripheral retinal degenerations that can predispose to develop RD. The expert panel identifies the following PRDs which can predispose to develop RD. These include: Lattice degeneration. Snail track degeneration. Degenerative retinoschisis. Cystic and zonular tractional retinal tuft. Retinal tear. Retinal hole

2024年1月1日 · Recent advancements in imaging technology have revolutionized our ability to assess the peripheral retina, and increased awareness of peripheral alterations in various diseases. Namely, ultrawidefield (UWF) imaging has emerged as a valuable tool in capturing peripheral retinal abnormalities.

2020年4月5日 · The peripheral retina extends from equator to ora serrata , comprises of extensive degenerative changes and anatomical variations with clinical importance in certain situations indicating the importance of meticulous examination of peripheral retina with indirect ophthalmoscopy.

2022年6月27日 · Many different types of degenerations and developmental variations occur in the peripheral retinal, with variations in risk for retinal detachment, prognosis, location, depth, and morphology. Thorough examination and ancillary imaging studies may help elucidate the underlying condition.

retinal thinning, vitreous liquefaction, and strong vitreoretinal adhesions at the margins. Ultimately, these changes predispose the eye to retinal tears and de-tachments. Risk factors include myopia and hereditary vitreopathies such as Stickler syndrome. It is present in 6% to 10% of the population; the incidence is higher in myopes.

To review the degenerative diseases of the peripheral retina in relationship with the risk to develop a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and to present recommendations for use in eyes at increased risk of developing a retinal detachment. Focused …

Advancements in ultra-widefield imaging and fundus autofluorescence have allowed us to elucidate peripheral retinal pigmentary changes, drusen deposition, and much more. Novel grid overlay techniques have been introduced to aid in analyzing these changes for pattern recognition and grouping of findings.
