THE HISTOPATHOLOGY OF FAMILIAL EXUDATIVE VITREORETINOPATHY - A REPORT OF 2 CASES ARCHIVES OF OPHTHALMOLOGY Boldrey, E. E., Egbert, P., Gass, J. D., Friberg, T. 1985; 103 (2): 238-241

Abstract

Two eyes were enucleated for angle-closure associated with familial exudative vitreoretinopathy. Characteristic features included total retinal detachment, peripheral retinal vascular proliferation, and a fibrovascular preretinal membrane. Angle-closure glaucoma developed in one case when sudden massive subretinal hemorrhage, associated with abnormal intraretinal vessels, produced anterior displacement of the lens-iris diaphragm; in the second case, angle-closure was associated with the development of rubeosis iridis. Intraretinal inflammatory cells and exudates were also seen in the enucleated eyes.
