Management of Giant Retinal Tear Detachments
Giant retinal tears (GRTs) are full-thickness circumferential tears of more than 90 degrees of the retina that are associated with vitreous detachment. They are related to ocular trauma, high myopia, aphakia, pseudophakia, genetic mutations involving collagen and young age. GRTs comprise 1.5% of all rhegmatogenous retinal detachments and the average age of incidence is 42 years. GRTs are more c...
متن کاملBilateral Giant Retinal Tear and Sequential Vitrectomy
PURPOSE To describe the excellent outcome of surgery for bilateral giant retinal tears (GRTs) with better options of endotamponade. METHODS This is a case report of a 62-year-old man who presented with bilateral GRTs and associated retinal detachment. The tear in the right eye was supero-temporal and silicone oil was used as an endotamponade. The tear in the left eye was infero-temporal and p...

متن کاملThe outcome of surgical management for giant retinal tear more than 180°
BACKGROUND To evaluate the surgical outcome for management of giant retinal tear (GRT) more than 180° by combined pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), encircling scleral buckle, 360° Laser endophotocoagulation, and silicon oil tamponade. METHODS This was a Prospective, interventional case series study. Twenty four eyes of 23 patients suffering from GRT more than 180° underwent PPV combined with encir...
متن کاملGiant Retinal Tear Retinal Detachment Etiologies, Surgical Outcome and Incidence of Recurrent Retinal Detachment after Silicon Oil Removal
A Giant Retinal Tear (GRT) is defined as a full-thickness retinal break extending circumferentially for 3 clock hours (90°) in the presence of a posteriorly detached vitreous [1]. GRTs are rare; their incidence has not been well established in the literature. The true incidence of GRTs is difficult to assess given their rarity, but one recent study estimates 0.094 per 100,000 of the general pop...
