[Autoimmunity against the retina in idiopathic retinal detachment. Study of 50 cases].
Auto-immunity against the retina was studied on fifty patients suffering from retinal detachment. The results of the present study confirm the development of auto-immunity against the retina in long standing retinal detachments, which has already been demonstrated by other authors. In addition, the present study shows a significant correlation between the development of auto-immunity against the retina and the surgical treatment on one hand, and evidence of epiretinal proliferation and retraction on the other hand. It is suggested that auto-immunity against the retina may be the result of endocular inflammation which may be one of the causes of epiretinal proliferation and retraction.
