AI Article Synopsis
- RPE detachment can result from various eye disorders, including degenerative, vascular, and inflammatory conditions, with neovascular age-related macular degeneration being the most common cause in older adults.
- Only 10% of cases are classified as transudative, which involves high domed serous detachment without associated blood vessel growth.
- The article discusses a specific case of idiopathic bilateral avascular RPE detachment, examining its clinical, morphological, and functional characteristics, as well as its effects on vision and quality of life.
Article Abstract
Detachment of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is a manifestation of a number of degenerative, vascular, inflammatory processes in the eye. The most common cause of RPE detachment in older individuals is the neovascular form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Only in 10% of cases the detachment is transudative (avascular), characterized by high domed serous RPE detachment. The article presents an analysis of a case of idiopathic bilateral avascular pigment epithelium detachment - clinical, morphological and functional features of the disease, its impact on the visual functions and the quality of life.
