RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 'Blow-outs' in the retinal pigment epithelium. JF British Journal of Ophthalmology JO Br J Ophthalmol FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd. SP 676 OP 681 DO 10.1136/bjo.71.9.676 VO 71 IS 9 A1 B. G. Goldstein A1 P. R. Pavan YR 1987 UL http://bjo.bmj.com/content/71/9/676.abstract AB A hole was detected in the epithelium of a retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) detachment in two patients. Leakage through the hole led to an elevation of the overlying neurosensory retina in each case. The resulting vision was 20/70 in one eye and 20/30 in the other. The defects in the RPE occurred in a setting different from that usually seen with tears in the pigment epithelium and had a different clinical appearance.
