Tractional retinal detachment (TRD) secondary to diabetic retinopathy occurs when the fibrous scar tissue, which forms as a complication of Diabetes, contracts and pulls on the retina, leading to its separation from the underlying tissue. This condition is often a result of proliferative diabetic retinopathy, where abnormal blood vessels grow and can cause scarring. TRD can lead to vision loss if not treated promptly, typically requiring surgical intervention such as vitrectomy to reattach the retina and remove the scar tissue. Early detection and management of diabetic retinopathy are crucial in preventing TRD.
