Retinal separation as an ocular complica-authors2 reported a close association with di tion of systemic hypertension with renal insufficiency is probably not as rare as the infrequent reports in the literature imply. It is most often encountered in the terminal stages as part of a hypertensive neuroretinopathy, and whenever correlated studies of the clinical and histopathologic findings are possible, it usually is found to concern the terminal variety of systemic disease. However, with improving techniques of organ transplantation, recovery from severe renal insufficiency after nephrectomy and kidney transplants, such as Buchanan and Ellis1 reported recently, may become more common, justifying the renewed interest in the pathogenesis and therapy of this type of retinal separation (Lapco, Weiler and Greene. 2 Bosco3).Clinically, this type of retinal separation is usually bilateral, nonrhegmatogenous, often multilocular, bullous and extremely smooth, with its first appearance frequently in the periphery. Like other secondary detachments it has a tendency to shift readily, and at the height of its course it commonly occupies the inferior half of the fundus. It is reversible with recovery of the patient from the underlying disease and may recur on its exacerbations. Therapy must be directed toward the systemic disease. It has been recognized that formation and reversibility of the detachment are not directly related to height of blood pressure or degree of azotemia. Lapco and his co-
