HERNANDEZ CRUZ, Claudia et al. Detachment of the Bacillary Layer of the Retina Associated with Ocular Inflammatory Disease. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2023, vol.36, n.2  Epub June 01, 2023. ISSN 1561-3070.

Retinal bacillary layer detachment is the separation of the inner segments of the photoreceptors from the rest of the neurosensory retina, or separation between the myode and ellipsoid zone of the retina, which in a recent finding can be identified by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. The objective is to update the knowledge about the detachment of the bacillary layer of the retina and the use of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography in ocular diseases that are associated with this sign. Bibliographic sources such as academic Google, SciELO LAC, MEDLINE and MEDICARIBE were consulted. Fifty-four documents were retrieved, of which 18 were relevant to this research. The results were limited to the Spanish and English language and to the last five years. The most mentioned authors were Ramtohul, Metha and Cicinelli. They worked on the clinical sign in question and reported the experience in caring for patients afflicted with this ocular disease. Detachment of the bacillary layer of the retina is a sign present in several diseases associated with ocular posterior segment inflammation. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography is an effective technique to determine it, although it is still scarce in the literature, which reaffirms the scientific validity of continuing studies from initial hypotheses from the histological and tomographic point of view.
