Reticulate Formation

Network formation

Today we will talk about a very common disease in medicine - **reticular formation.** From the name you already guessed that the disease is associated with the retina. The network can appear at any age. The disease is quite serious and has a number of consequences. Some forms of the disease are completely blind and cannot even distinguish between loved ones and strangers.

Clinical picture of the disease

The syndrome manifests itself in the form of a completely black spot in the patient’s field of vision. Surrounding objects appear white. In this case, the person loses control over vision. A person may also experience dizziness and nausea. This is most likely the body's reaction to injury to the retina. As the disease progresses, the patient begins to see a human figure with black spots around the edges. This figure is actually a human skeleton. Overall, the disease is very serious and can lead to complete loss of vision.

Diagnosis of the disease

It is quite easy to identify this disease. Doctors simply check the condition of the retina. In addition, the doctor deciphers the fundus. Different areas of the mesh may indicate the presence of certain diseases. Depending on the specific disease, various changes are observed. Sometimes it is difficult to make an accurate diagnosis based on the results of an examination of the patient’s fundus. Sometimes the disease requires additional tests or medical procedures. After a person makes a diagnosis, he should immediately contact a specialist. Surgical intervention is extremely necessary if the disease has reached an advanced stage.
