Primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is probably much less common in blacks than whites. We reviewed 100 consecutive black patients with retinal detachment who were seen over a 3 year period, and compared them to a randomly selected group of 100 whites seen during the same period. Trauma was the most common cause of detachment in blacks (52%), but was a relatively uncommon cause in whites (12%). Posterior vitreous detachment was the most frequent etiology of detachment in whites (47%), but was rare in blacks (15%). Aphakia was the second most common etiology in whites (30%), while it was relatively uncommon in blacks (13%). Myopia and/or lattice was a more frequent associated finding in blacks with detachment (19%), than in whites (9%). These findings are discussed and the literature reviewed.
原发性孔源性视网膜脱离在黑人中可能比在白人中少见得多。我们回顾了连续100例在3年期间就诊的黑人视网膜脱离患者，并将他们与同期随机选取的100例白人患者进行比较。外伤是黑人视网膜脱离最常见的原因（52%），但在白人中相对不常见（12%）。玻璃体后脱离是白人视网膜脱离最常见的病因（47%），但在黑人中很少见（15%）。无晶状体是白人中第二常见的病因（30%），而在黑人中相对不常见（13%）。近视和/或格子样变性在黑人视网膜脱离患者中（19%）比在白人中（9%）更常见。本文对这些发现进行了讨论并回顾了相关文献。
