| venula temporalis retinae inferior | The small vein that passes from the lower lateral (temporal) part of the retina to enter the central vein. Synonym: venula temporalis retinae inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| venula temporalis retinae superior | The venule that passes from the upper lateral (temporal) part of the retina to join the central vein. Synonym: venula temporalis retinae superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars ceca retinae | The embryological anterior part of the retina that evolves into the pars ciliaris retinae and pars iridica retinae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars ciliaris retinae | pars ciliaris retinae |
| pars iridica retinae | pars iridica retinae |
| pars nervosa retinae | pars nervosa retinae |
| pars optica retinae | The internal layer of the retina containing the neural elements, as distinguished from the outer leaf of the retina, or pigmented layer. Synonym: pars optica retinae, neural layer of retina, optic part of retina, stratum cerebrale retinae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rhytidosis retinae | Retinal wrinkling. (05 Mar 2000) |
| commotio retinae | Concussion of the retina that may produce a milky oedema in the posterior pole that clears up after a few days. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cyanosis retinae | Venous congestion of the retina. Shunt cyanosis, any blue colour of the entire skin or a region of the skin or mucous membrane due to a right to left shunt permitting unoxygenated blood to reach the left side of the circulation. (05 Mar 2000) |

| ischemia retinae | Diminished blood supply in the retina due to failure of the arterial circulation; it may occur as a result of arterial embolism or spasm; poisoning, as by quinine; or exsanguination from recurring profuse haemorrhages (e.g., in parturition, gastric and duodenal ulcers, and pulmonary tuberculosis); bilateral transitory or permanent blindness may result.
