چکیده

THis paper presents the results of a study of the chemical composition of subretinal fluid from cases of retinal detachment, with particular reference to the protein and ascorbic acid content of the fluid. Many workers have studied the chemical composition of subretinal fluid obtained from patients undergoing surgery for retinal detachment. It is generally agreed that the subretinal fluid contains more protein than normal human vitreous: Magitot and Lenoir (1932) 0-135-6-0 per cent.; Arruga (1933) 0 09-9 per cent.; Magitot (1934) 0-135-15 per cent.; Franta (1937) 0 72-3 35 per cent.; Weve and Fischer (1940) 0 055-7 72 per cent.; Contino (1941) 0-37-3-85 per cent.; Santoni (1946) 0-6-2-64 per cent. These authors have shown that the protein concentration usually, but not always, increases with the duration of the detachment. This high protein content has been the major argument against the vitreal origin of the subretinal fluid. Recently, paper electrophoretic studies by Santoni (1954), Dorello (1955), Reichling (1955), Nakano (1958) and Smith and Douty (1960) have demonstrated the variable content of the albumin and globulin fractions in the subretinal fluid. The electrophoretic pattern of fluid with a high protein content resembles that obtained from human plasma, and the five components (albumin and
