In order to characterize the preoperative findings in different cases of retinal detachment (RD) a non-selected series of 538 patients from a population of about 560.000 inhabitants in Sweden during a ten-years period was studied, Since the probability is very high that all cases of RD were included

โฆ Synopsis
Central serous choroidopathy can occur in an atypical, severe clinical expression also known as diffuse retinal pigment epitheliopathy. We report two cases in which this affection was complicated by a bullous retinal detachment of the lower quadrants. In one case the subretinal leaking point was photocoagulated. The evolution was favourable in both cases with resolution of the detachment and partial recovery of the visual acuity.

Relative hypotony in the affected eye was present in 40% of patients with uncomplicated unilateral retinal detachments. The average pressure asymmetry was only 1.3 mm Hg, but in one out of every four patients the difference was 3 mm Hg or more. In a control group, such a difference occured in only o
We operated on one hundred cases of pseudophakic retinal detachments with a reattachment rate of ninety-eight percent. Fifteen of the one hundred required more than one operation and all reoperations were associated with vitrectomy. Thirty-seven percent of all cases achieved good vision of 20/40 or
In retinal detachments the scotopic ERG is generally more disturbed than the photopic ERG; both are more disturbed than would be expected from the visibly detached retina. The disturbance is characterized by a reduction of both the a-wave and the bwave. Furthermore, the photopic responses are clearl
The hyperosmolarity response of the ocular standing potential was recorded in unilateral rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (8 eyes) and in the fellow 'healthy' eye (8 eyes). The hyperosmolarity response was greatly suppressed (M-4 SD: M and SD indicate respectively the mean and the standard deviatio
