A Case Report of Retinal Pigmented Epithelium rip
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
Tears of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) are defined as complication of pigment epithelial detachments (PED) in the setting of wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). RPE rips, also known as RPE tears, have been described spontaneously in association with central serous retinopathy, angioid streaks, and trauma and as a result of various treatments for neovascular AMD. Clinically, a well-demarcated area of bare choroid is visible immediately adjacent to a hyperpigmented area, which represents the redundant, retracted RPE. The overlying neurosensory retina remains intact and a localized exudative detachment of the neurosensory retina may be present. In this study, we discuss a case of Retinal pigmented epithelium rip reported to the Department of Opthalmology, MGM hospital, Kamothe.
