L'œdème maculaire cystoïde (OMC) clinique est une complication de l'EIC [extraction intra-capsulaire] dans la majorité des cas (9 % des cas, dont près de 4 % ont des séquelles irréversibles, contre 1,5 % après EEC [extraction entra-capsulaire] qui guérissent en général sans séquelle). Il est soit précoce, soit tardif (entre 6 et 18 mois) et alors sévère. Il s'accompagne très souvent d'hypertonie oculaire. 1, record 1, French, - %26oelig%3Bd%C3%A8me%20maculaire%20cysto%C3%AFde

Rhegmatogenous retinal detachments are due to holes that occur in the retina allowing fluid from the vitreous cavity to lift the retina from the outer coats of the eye.

Exudative retinal detachments occur due to the collection of fluid between the retina and the outer coats of the eye. This fluid may have many origins including inflammation and tumors. When the retina is detached from the coats of the eye, it fails to function properly leading to blurred vision in the area of the detachment. 1, record 7, English, - exudative%20retinal%20detachment

Baudouin et al.(1992) assessed the possible ocular-protective effect of Ginkgo extract(EGb761) in rabbits. A model of periretinal proliferation was used to simulate retinal detachment by means of an immunologically-mediated inflammatory reaction, which in turn stimulated intra-ocular growth of vitreous stands. Their test followed observations of a possible immunologically-mediated activation of cell proliferation which they observed in specimens from human cases of periretinal proliferative disorders, which are the main cause of retinal-origin blindness. The researchers also found evidence of intravitreal macrophages and lymphocytes in the rabbits, indicating an immune-mdiated inflammatory response involved in the pathological state induced, and hypothesized in the etiology of proliferative retinal diseases in humans. 1, record 12, English, - immunologically%2Dmediated%20inflammatory%20reaction
