Types of avulsed retinal vessels associated with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment: treatment and results

G P Theodossiadis et al. Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol. 1987.

Abstract

We performed a prospective study of 87 cases with avulsed retinal vessels in conjunction with tears and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. The postoperative follow-up period ranged from 6 months to 5 years. The avulsed vessels were classified according to their location (peripheral or central) as well as with respect to their form (5 types). The surgical procedure comprised the fixation of an episcleral sponge implant (high indentation), cryoapplication, and, if necessary, laser coagulation or endodiathermy at a later stage. The postoperative condition of the avulsed vessel mainly depended on its location, the type of avulsion, and the buckle height.
