Degenerations of the dog retina. III. Retinopathy secondary to glaucoma.

چکیده
ALTHOUGH the effects of glaucoma on the human retina are well known (Duke-Elder, 1940; Wolff, 1951), accounts of the retinal degeneration following glaucoma in the dog are rare. It seemed of interest therefore to record details of two cases, particularly as the degeneration differs from other types reported in this series and follows closely the changes seen in man, except that the area centralis is spared in contra-distinction to the early changes in the human macula. The early recognition of glaucoma in animals is uncertain owing to the absence of subjective information and the difficulty of assessing changes of intra-ocular tension clinically. However, there is one syndrome following spontaneous luxation of the lens in which a diagnosis can be made before the general eye structures are seriously disorganized. This syndrome, which is described by Formston (1945), affects Smooth-coated Fox Terriers and Sealyhams and is due to an inherited weakness of the suspensory ligaments of the lens, which rupture spontaneously in early adult life, causing luxation ofthe lens and secondary glaucoma. One case of this syndrome is described together with one of glaucoma secondary to idiopathic irido-cyclitis.

Rationale. Neovascular glaucoma is the type of glaucoma most refractory to treatment. The most frequent causes are those associated with retinal hypoxia, such as proliferative diabetic retinopathy, central retinal vein occlusion, branch retinal vein occlusion, central retinal arterial occlusion, ischemic ocular syndrome etc. Rare causes of neovascular glaucoma are multiple and are due to VEGF s...
متن کاملCell based therapies in retinal diseases
Background Degenerative retinal diseases, including age related macular degeneration, glaucoma, and hereditary retinal dystrophies are major causes of blindness. The principal defect in these diseases is cell loss which is amenable to both cell based neuroprotective and neuroregenerative therapies. To briefly review the lines of research and potential candidates for cell based therapies among ...
