Peripheral retinal degenerations and the risk of retinal detachment
Cystic retinal tuft is a congenital abnormality in the development of the peripheral retina. Histologically, accumulations of glial tissue form in nodules on the retinal surface that enclose crypts of formed vitreous within the lesion.
Relationship of cystic retinal tufts to retinal detachment
The histologic and gross pathologic features of cystic retinal tufts are reviewed, and the clinical characteristics of this lesion described. A survey of 200 retinal detachments revealed that cystic retinal tuft was the precipitating lesion for the detachment in from 6.5 to 10% of cases.
