Experimental serous and hemorrhagic uveal edema associated with retinal detachment surgery.
A study of the effects of hypotony, cryotherapy as the adhesive modality and vortex system obstruction in repair of experimental retinal detachment in the owl monkey is reported. The presence of serous uveal edema (detachment) correlated mainly with the degree of cortex obstruction. Hemorrhagic extravasation appeared to be a more exaggerated manifestation of such vascular stasis.
