Autosomal dominant rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is a rare genetic disorder that affects the eyes. It is caused by a mutation in the COL2A1 gene, which is responsible for the production of collagen type II, a protein that helps to maintain the structure of the retina. People with this disorder are at risk of developing a retinal detachment, which is a separation of the retina from the back of the eye. Symptoms of this disorder include blurred vision, floaters, flashes of light, and a decrease in peripheral vision. Treatment typically involves surgery to reattach the retina.

The most common symptom of autosomal dominant rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is a sudden onset of floaters, flashes of light, or a curtain-like shadow in the peripheral vision. Other symptoms may include blurred vision, a decrease in vision, or a loss of peripheral vision.

The most common cause of autosomal dominant rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is a break or tear in the retina. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

• Eye trauma or injury

• Age-related degeneration of the vitreous humor

• Abnormal growth of blood vessels in the retina

• Abnormalities in the vitreous humor

• Inflammation of the retina

• Diabetes

• High myopia (nearsightedness)

• Retinal detachment in a family member

1. Scleral buckling: This is a surgical procedure that involves placing a silicone band around the outside of the eye to help push the detached retina back into place.

2. Vitrectomy: This is a surgical procedure that involves removing the vitreous gel from the eye and replacing it with a gas bubble or silicone oil to help push the detached retina back into place.

3. Laser photocoagulation: This is a procedure that uses a laser to create tiny burns around the edges of the detached retina to help seal it back into place.

4. Pneumatic retinopexy: This is a procedure that involves injecting a gas bubble into the eye to help push the detached retina back into place.

5. Scleral reinforcement: This is a procedure that involves placing a patch over the outside of

Yes, there are treatments available for autosomal dominant rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Treatment options include laser surgery, cryopexy, pneumatic retinopexy, scleral buckling, and vitrectomy. Medications such as corticosteroids and anti-inflammatory drugs may also be prescribed to reduce inflammation and swelling in the eye.
