Retinal vascular changes in congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The overlying retinal blood vessels were abnormal in five cases of congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium. This illustrated the well-recognized association between outer retinal degeneration and obliteration of the overlying retinal vasculature. The proposed pathophysiological mechanisms, however, seem inadequate to explain completely the morphological changes of the retinal blood vessels in the presence of atrophy of the outer retina.

Morphological changes in injured retinal pigment epithelium and photoreceptor cells after transplantation of stem cells into subretinal space
Introduction: Degenerative retinal diseases are main cause of irreversible blindness. Stem cells therapy is a promising way in these diseases. Therefore, mesenchymal stem cells because of its safety can produce degenerated cells and can play important role in treatment. The aim of this study was to examine morphological changes in injured retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and photoreceptor cells...

The authors describe the use of high-definition optical coherence tomography (HD-OCT) in a case of congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium. A 40-year-old woman presented with a large flat pigmented lesion in the inferior retinal quadrant of the left eye, which was compatible with congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium. The lesion was studied with HD-OCT (5 lin...
