“… 12 Previous reports showed a relationship between RRD and endothelin-1 (ET-1), which is a powerful vasoconstrictor peptide, and increased levels of ET-1 in the plasma and subretinal fluid in patients with RRD. 18 Our previous study reported that the macular vascular flow recovered after surgery for RRD, and it was suggested that the macular flow in eyes with macula-on RRD may undergo a reversible change. 15 Therefore, although SLDF can detect temporal changes in the velocity as a result of vasoconstriction, OCTA can detect the vascular structural changes that may be detected as capillary dropout.…”

PurposeTo evaluate microvascular changes in the macular area of eyes with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) without macular involvement (macula-on RRD) using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA).Patients and methodsFive patients with macula-on RRD were eligible for analysis. All patients underwent SS-OCTA examination (Triton) for the macular area. The healthy fellow eyes were included as controls. The vessel density (VD) was calculated using binarization, and the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) was measured. The VD and FAZ area were compared between the eyes with RRD and the fellow eyes using the Wilcoxon signed rank test.ResultsThe patients’ clinical characteristics were as follows: age, 49.0 years (21.0, 54.0) (median [25, 75th percentile]); preoperative best-corrected visual acuity, −0.08 (−0.08, 0.11) for RRD and −0.08 (−0.08, −0.03) for the fellow eye (P=0.50); and axial length, 27.0 (25.1, 28.7) mm for RRD and 27.4 (25.6, 28.5) mm for the fellow eye (P=0.31). The parafoveal VD was not significantly different between the eyes with RRD and the fellow eyes (P=1.00 for the superficial retina and P=0.44 for the whole retina). The FAZ area was also similar for the eyes with RRD and the fellow eyes (P=0.31 for the superficial retina and P=0.13 for the whole retina).ConclusionThe findings of this study suggest that the macular microvasculature remains intact in eyes with macula-on RRD.

“…11 The release of the vasoconstrictive endothelin-1 by endothelial glial cells could be a further significant factor. Roldan-Pallares et al 29 identified this peptide in subretinal fluid accumulations. This release fits to the observation that perfusion of the retinal microvasculature is reduced.…”
