Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment
摘要
Retinal detachment (RD) is the separation of the neurosensory retina from the underlying retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). RD can be classified into three groups based on the cause: rhegmatogenous, tractional, and exudative. In addition, proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) accompanies 5%–12% of cases of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and is associated with poor prognosis. The incidence is approximately 12/100,000 annually and increases in the presence of high myopia (axial length >26 mm), aphakia, and pseudophakia.
