Retina neurosensory

Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD) is defined by fluid accumulation in the subretinal space through retinal tear, inducing separation of the neurosensory retina from the retinal pigmentary epithelium (Fig. 1). 

The retina consists of 10 layers the RPE, photoreceptor outer segments, external limiting membrane (ELM), outer nuclear layer, outer plexiform layer, inner nuclear layer, inner plexiform layer, ganglion cell layer, nerve fiber layer, and internal limiting membrane (ILM). The term neurosensory retina includes all the above except the most external layer, the RPE. 

The neurosensory retina is an immune privileged tissue situated in a highly protected compartment with multiple defense lines (Figure 24.3). Like brain neurons, the retinal neurons... 

The two main adverse reactions to intravitreal inserts of sustained-release glucocorticoids are cataracts and increased intraocular pressure [31 ]. Glucocorticoids can also be associated with central serous chorioretinopathy or exacerbation of existing chorioretinopathy, a disorder that is characterized by serous detachment of the neurosensory retina at the posterior pole of the fundus. Central serous chorioretinopathy has been reported in a 42-year-old...
