Coastline like peripheral chorioretinal degeneration as a suspected cause of nasal retinal dialysis

Retinal dialysis is mostly associated with blunt trauma or at times spontaneous. A patient presented to us with fresh rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with no telltale history or signs of trauma. The causative break was retinal dialysis noted on the superonasal periphery. A characteristic peripheral chorioretinal degeneration simulating a coastline almost extending six clock hours was seen in both the eyes. We have discussed this rare presentation and the possibilities of the association between this newly identified lesion and spontaneous retinal dialysis in the following case report.

Vitrectomy for Giant Traumatic Avulsion of Vitreous Base / 中国医师杂志

Objective To describe the clinical features and observe the effect of vitrectomy on traumatic avulsion of vitreous base with giant retinal dialysis.Methods Seven cases with giant retinal dialysis(rang 120～150?) secondary to traumatic avulsion of vitreous base and PVR grade B to C 3 were retrospectively reviewed.All eyes had recieved vitrectomy,scleral buckle and lenses removed,and six eyeballs underwent postoperative sequential fluid-gas exchange.Results In most cases,the dialyses and avulsed vitreous base developed in the temponate quadrants and complicated lenses dislocation,pupilloparalysis,and vitreous hemorrhage.All cases attained success after disappearance of the intraocular tamponate.The major complication was elevated intraocular pressure,which was transient.Conclusions Giant retinal dialysis may result from traumatic avulsion of vitreous base.These dialysis often become clinical manifestation for several days or longer following ocular contusion.Vitrectomy is a very effective management for these cases.
