ABSTRACT
The separation of outer retinal photoreceptors in patients with toxoplasmosis chorioretinitis was first named bacillary layer detachment (BALAD), which was manifested as a split at the level of the photoreceptor inner segment myoid creating a distinctive intraretinal cavity in optical coherence tomography.Subsequently BALAD has been reported by many researchers in different diseases.In the outer retina, the myoid is a relatively weak structure in photoreceptor inner segment.When the outward force that promotes the attachment of the photoreceptor outer segment to the retinal pigment epithelium exceeds the tensile strength of the photoreceptor inner segment myoid, the myoid zone splits and BALAD occurs.BALAD has its unique multimodal imaging characteristics, and the identification of it can provide a new idea for the diagnosis, detection and treatment of ocular diseases.This paper reviewed the development of BALAD nomenclature, its anatomical structure, pathophysiological mechanism and multimodal image features.
