[Pathology of the vitreoretinal interface].

This comprehensive review of vitreoretinal junction involvement in various diseases is classified according to the static and dynamic features of the pathology. Apart from hereditary conditions such as Wagner's and Stickler's diseases, juvenile retinoschisis etc., retino-vitreal adhesions in equatorial degeneration and either idiopathic or secondary epiretinal membranes are described. Vitreo-retinal caused either by trauma, by cellular contraction in epiretinal membranes or by posterior vitreous detachment may especially provoke peripheral retinal tears or macular involvement.
