  • Sintomático:
    • Para aqueles com acuidade visual central preservada: Realizar o tratamento dentro de 24 horas (para evitar a progressão para um descolamento macular).
    • Pequeno descolamento: retinopexia a laser ou criorretinopexia
    • Opções para um descolamento de grandes dimensões:
      • Retinopexia pneumática
      • Colocação da fivela escleral
      • Vitrectomia
  • Assintomático:
    • Lesões pequenas: considerar laser ou criorretinopexia
    • Opções nas lesões grandes:
      • Retinopexia a laser ou criorretinopexia
      • Fivela escleral
      • Vitrectomia
Fivela escleral

Esta imagem ilustra a introflexão escleral, a colocação de uma estrutura em silicone flexível suturada à esclera. A fivela escleral empurra a esclera para dentro, mantendo assim as estruturas separadas mais próximas e permitindo que a retina se fixe novamente.

Tratamento do descolamento não regmatogénico da retina Retina The ten-layered nervous tissue membrane of the eye. It is continuous with the optic nerve and receives images of external objects and transmits visual impulses to the brain. Its outer surface is in contact with the choroid and the inner surface with the vitreous body. The outermost layer is pigmented, whereas the inner nine layers are transparent. Eye: Anatomy

  • Tracional:
    • Tratar a doença subjacente (por exemplo, a retinopatia diabética)
    • Remoção das forças de tração por vitrectomia (pode ser combinada com a introflexão escleral)
  • Exsudativo:
    • Tratar a doença subjacente.
    • As neoplasias podem exigir enucleação.

Diagnóstico Diferencial

  • Oclusão da artéria central da retina Retina The ten-layered nervous tissue membrane of the eye. It is continuous with the optic nerve and receives images of external objects and transmits visual impulses to the brain. Its outer surface is in contact with the choroid and the inner surface with the vitreous body. The outermost layer is pigmented, whereas the inner nine layers are transparent. Eye: Anatomy: oclusão da artéria central da retina Retina The ten-layered nervous tissue membrane of the eye. It is continuous with the optic nerve and receives images of external objects and transmits visual impulses to the brain. Its outer surface is in contact with the choroid and the inner surface with the vitreous body. The outermost layer is pigmented, whereas the inner nine layers are transparent. Eye: Anatomy, a principal irrigação do nervo óptico, por um êmbolo ou ateroma. Os doentes apresentam geralmente uma perda visual monocular súbita e indolor. Os achados fundoscópicos incluem o clareamento da retina Retina The ten-layered nervous tissue membrane of the eye. It is continuous with the optic nerve and receives images of external objects and transmits visual impulses to the brain. Its outer surface is in contact with the choroid and the inner surface with the vitreous body. The outermost layer is pigmented, whereas the inner nine layers are transparent. Eye: Anatomy com uma mancha “vermelho-cereja”. A oclusão da artéria central da retina Retina The ten-layered nervous tissue membrane of the eye. It is continuous with the optic nerve and receives images of external objects and transmits visual impulses to the brain. Its outer surface is in contact with the choroid and the inner surface with the vitreous body. The outermost layer is pigmented, whereas the inner nine layers are transparent. Eye: Anatomy é uma emergência médica e a recuperação visual depende da avaliação e tratamento imediatos.
  • Retinosquise: divisão da retina Retina The ten-layered nervous tissue membrane of the eye. It is continuous with the optic nerve and receives images of external objects and transmits visual impulses to the brain. Its outer surface is in contact with the choroid and the inner surface with the vitreous body. The outermost layer is pigmented, whereas the inner nine layers are transparent. Eye: Anatomy (geralmente na camada plexiforme externa) com o desenvolvimento de 2 camadas principais. A forma congénita (o tipo juvenil, recessivo ligado ao X) afeta mais MAIS Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome os homens que as mulheres, enquanto que na retinosquise adquirida ou senil, tanto os homens como as mulheres com idade > 50 anos são afetados. A acuidade visual reduzida é a apresentação habitual da retinosquise congénita. Os doentes com a patologia adquirida são geralmente assintomáticos. Pode levar ao descolamento da retina Retina The ten-layered nervous tissue membrane of the eye. It is continuous with the optic nerve and receives images of external objects and transmits visual impulses to the brain. Its outer surface is in contact with the choroid and the inner surface with the vitreous body. The outermost layer is pigmented, whereas the inner nine layers are transparent. Eye: Anatomy, que é tratado cirurgicamente.
  • Derrame na coroide: acumulação anormal de líquido no espaço supracoroide (entre a coroide e a esclera). O derrame coroidal pode resultar de uma cirurgia de glaucoma Glaucoma Glaucoma is an optic neuropathy characterized by typical visual field defects and optic nerve atrophy seen as optic disc cupping on examination. The acute form of glaucoma is a medical emergency. Glaucoma is often, but not always, caused by increased intraocular pressure (IOP). Glaucoma ou de trauma, infeções e neoplasias. Os doentes podem ser assintomáticos quando o derrame é pequeno; no entanto, em derrames maiores ocorrem alterações refrativas, diminuição da visão e dor. A ecografia oftálmica ajuda a diferenciar o descolamento da retina Retina The ten-layered nervous tissue membrane of the eye. It is continuous with the optic nerve and receives images of external objects and transmits visual impulses to the brain. Its outer surface is in contact with the choroid and the inner surface with the vitreous body. The outermost layer is pigmented, whereas the inner nine layers are transparent. Eye: Anatomy do derrame coroidal. Dependendo da patologia subjacente, o tratamento varia desde a vigilância até à drenagem cirúrgica.
  • Massa da coroide: pode resultar de um nevo benigno a lesões malignas como melanomas. A coroide possui uma irrigação vascular abundante, tornando-se um local comum de metastização de neoplasias. A apresentação pode variar desde casos assintomáticos a visão turva. A ecografia ajuda a diferenciar as várias lesões oculares. O tratamento deve ser dirigido à etiologia da massa.
  • Hemorragia supracoroidal: sangramento entre a coroide e a esclera. Esta condição é rara, mas pode resultar de uma cirurgia intraocular. Os fatores de risco incluem a diabetes Diabetes Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia and dysfunction of the regulation of glucose metabolism by insulin. Type 1 DM is diagnosed mostly in children and young adults as the result of autoimmune destruction of β cells in the pancreas and the resulting lack of insulin. Type 2 DM has a significant association with obesity and is characterized by insulin resistance. Diabetes Mellitus, a hipertensão não controlada e os fármacos anticoagulantes ou antiagregantes plaquetários. A hemorragia supracoroidal pode ocorrer no intra ou no pós-operatório. Os sintomas incluem cdefaleias, náuseas, dor ocular e diminuição da acuidade visual. A ecografia deteta a extensão e a localização da hemorragia. O tratamento visa a redução da pressão intraocular com o controlo da dor e da hemorragia.
