“…1 In one study, blindness in patients with proliferative vitreoretinopathy was seen in 12%. 14 However, in a larger study of young patients in Jamaica (307 patients with SS and 166 with SC), followed for 20 years up to the age of 26 years, only two patients had sight-threatening disease, one patient suffering irreversible sight loss in one eye and one patient with a successfully treated RRD. 3 The Jamaican study provides the best incidence information available to date on complications from a population group.…”

“…7 The use of scatter laser as a means of regressing neovascularisation is controversial because of the high incidence of autoinfarction of the retinal proliferation in 30%. 13,14 In this study, all patients who received surgery were treated by PPV without external plombage or scatter laserFno cases of anterior segment ischaemia were encountered. Occlusion of the feeder vessels supplying sea fans has been employed but was not used in our study.…”

“…Este, muito frequente, mostrou-se presente em 95% dos olhos examinados e a tortuosidade vascular retiniana (Figura 2) em 36,6%. Os "black sunburst" (Figura 3), que correspondem à hiperplasia e hipertrofia do epitélio pigmentado da retina, secundários às hemorragias, foram encontrados em 24,4% dos exames, sendo a terceira alteração mais frequente, ratificando estudos anteriores (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15) . A presença de estrias angióides em 5,5% dos casos merece ênfase em função de sua evolução natural que somada à retinopatia falciforme, aumenta o risco de seus portadores ao longo do tempo de desenvolver perda visual grave (16) .…”

“…A variável genótipo mostrou maior número de homozigotos SS, seguidos dos SC e S-Tal respectivamente, conforme todos os estudos relacionados (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15) . Sobre os estudos que concluíram que o eletrorretinograma seria útil no monitoramento da evolução da retinopatia falciforme (19,20) , o presente estudo obteve dados opostos.…”

“…3,22 Estas estruturas neovasculares, desenvolvidas a partir de alças ou cruzamentos arteriovenosos, muito freqüentemente sofrem auto-infartos, possivelmente pelas características pouco usuais do fluxo. 6,23 Os novos vasos são frágeis, imaturos e aderentes ao gel vítreo. Isso facilita a ocorrência de hemorragia vítrea e caracteriza o estágio IV da RP na DF.…”
