Histological changes in retinal detachment: A systematic review for the clinician.
Survey of Ophthalmology 2023 August 30
Although there have been numerous innovations in the management of retinal detachment (RD) over the past decades, there is still limited understanding of the pathophysiological processes that take place before and after repair. Summarizing key concepts using animal studies may allow a better assessment of common pre and postoperatively microstructural abnormalities in RD. We performed a systematic literature review on Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Controlled Register of Trials from January, 1968, to January, 2022, searching animal or human studies reporting retinal histologic changes following primary or induced RD. Thirty-two studies were included. Main cellular events were that photoceptor apoptosis occurs as early as 12 hours after RD and, although most cells survive, there is extensive remodelling. Outer segments progressively degenerate, while inner segments are reorganized. Rod and cone opsins are redistributed, and rod axons retract whilst cones undergo changes in shape. Second- and third-order neurons rearrange their dendritic processes, and Müller cells become hypertrophic, growing into the subretinal space. Finally, retinal pigment epithelium cells change their morphology. Acknowledging critical morphologic changes following RD is crucial in understanding why anatomical and functional outcomes can vary. Insights from histological studies, together with high-resolution imaging, may be key in identifying novel biomarkers in RD.
