Membranes of the Orbit

HIDE
PrevNext

0:00

Let's discuss the membranes of the globe in

0:03

a little bit more detail.

0:05

As I mentioned,

0:06

the sclera is the most outer portion of the membranes and

0:11

becomes continuous with the cornea far anteriorly.

0:17

The next membrane to talk about is the choroid.

0:21

As I mentioned,

0:22

the choroid goes far anterior and communicates with the

0:26

ciliary body at the level of the lens of the eye.

0:34

The third membrane is the retina.

0:36

The retina is seen in yellow here

0:40

and as I mentioned previously,

0:42

it ends at an area called the ora serrata at that junction

0:48

with the 10:00 and 02:00 on the globe and does

0:52

not go as far anteriorly as the choroid.

0:55

This helps you in identifying retinal detachments which

0:59

stop at 10:00 and 02:00 from choroidal detachments

1:03

which will go all the way up to the lens.

1:06

These detachments occur between the different layers

1:10

of the membranes, as you can see here.

1:14

This is the vitreous

1:17

compartment and you can have a collection which occurs

1:23

between the edge of the vitreous and the retina

1:27

and this is the post-hyaloid or subhyaloid space.

1:33

You may also have a collection between the sensory and

1:39

retinal pigment epithelium of the retina

1:44

which would be in the subretinal space.

1:49

There is also a space between the choroid

1:54

and the sclera which is termed the suprachoroidal space.

2:01

And finally, although it's unusual to see,

2:04

you can have a collection that is between the choroid

2:09

and the retina in the subchoroidal space.
