Hereditary Vitreoretinal Diseases

  • Chapter
The Vitreous and Vitreoretinal Interface

Abstract

The vitreous body and retina can be affected by degenerative conditions with obscure etiology but with definite hereditary patterns suggesting a genetic defect. As a number of signs overlap in both the hereditary and the non-hereditary types, differential diagnosis may be difficult in isolated cases of vitreous liquefaction, vitreous bands, veils, sheathing of peripheral retinal vessels, retinoschisis, or latticelike degeneration (1).
