Idiopathic reactive hyperplasia of the retinal pigment epithelium.
OBJECTIVES To present and discuss 2 patients with acquired peripapillary pigmented lesions. METHODS We reviewed the patients' clinical records and histopathologic findings. RESULTS The first patient was diagnosed with a pigmented papillary lesion that was followed up for 38 years. The second patient was a child with neurofibromatosis type 1 who developed a pigmented peripapillary lesion fol...
متن کاملSeven-year evaluation of idiopathic multiple retinal pigment epithelium detachments
Objective: To analyze a 7-year natural history of idiopathic multiple retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) detachment based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. Methods: Case report. SD-OCT imaging (Topcon 3D OCT-1000). Results: A 55-year-old female presented with three foci of pigment epithelium detachment (PED) in her left eye. Her past ophthalmic and medical history was uneventful. The ...
متن کاملHistochemical study of retinal photoreceptors development during pre- and postnatal period and their association with retinal pigment epithelium
Objective(s):The aim of this study was to evaluate distribution and changes of glycoconjugates of retinal photoreceptors during both pre- and postnatal development. Materials and Methods: Tissue sections from days 15 to 20 of Wistar rat embryos and 1 to 12 postnatal days of rat newborns including developing eye were prepared for lectinhistochemistry technique. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-label...
متن کاملAcid hydrolases of the retinal pigment epithelium.
Two enzymes, P-galactosidase and N-acetyl-fi-glucosaminidase, have been detected in pigment epithelial cells of cattle. The optimum activity for N-acetyl-P-glucosaminidase is at pH 5; in contrast, /3-galactosidase exhibits a broad activity maximum from approximately pH 4 to 6, with a "shoulder" in the latter range. Differential centrifugation of .25M sucroseethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDT...
متن کاملTumours of the retinal pigment epithelium
Under normal circumstances there is little, if any, turnover of the pigment epithelium of the human retina, and this absence of opportunity for aberrant genetic mutations to occur may in part account for the rarity of neoplasia in this tissue. Moreover, in those rare instances where tumours have developed, they have not infrequently been preceded by a hyperplastic proliferation associated with ...
