Abstract

Retinal pigment epithelial tears have been recognized recently as a complication of retinal pigment epithelial detachments. They are characterized by sudden separation of detached from attached pigment epithelium at the margin of the detachment. Retraction of the overlying pigment epithelium occurs and exposes Bruch's membrane and choroid. Most pigment epithelial tears appear to arise spontaneously, but they also may occur following krypton red laser photocoagulation. The visual prognosis is poor in eyes in which the tear involves the subfoveolar pigment epithelium.

摘要

视网膜色素上皮撕裂最近被认为是视网膜色素上皮脱离的一种并发症。其特征是在脱离边缘处，脱离的色素上皮与附着的色素上皮突然分离。上方色素上皮发生回缩，暴露出布鲁赫膜和脉络膜。大多数色素上皮撕裂似乎是自发出现的，但也可能在氪红激光光凝后发生。如果撕裂累及黄斑下色素上皮，患眼的视觉预后较差。
