Pneumatic retinopexy for displaced macular laceration from intraocular foreign body
نویسندگان
چکیده
Purpose To report a case of macular laceration from intraocular foreign body (IOFB) treated with pneumatic retinopexy. Observations A 74 year old man sustained penetrating injury to his left globe with retained metallic intraocular foreign body (IOFB). The patient underwent prompt pars plana vitrectomy, intravitreal antibiotics and removal of IOFB. The posterior point of impact left a displaced foveo-macular laceration which was recognized postoperatively and treated with pneumatic retinopexy for re-approximation of the foveal tissue. Optical coherence tomography confirmed acute traumatic laceration and edema, closure of the tissue and subsequent healing and adjacent retinal and retinal pigment epithelial atrophy. He regained visual acuity of 20/30. Conclusions and importance Traumatic macular lacerations can be treated with pneumatic retinopexy, after pars plana vitrectomy, with potentially good visual result.

Twenty-three consecutive cases of perforating ocular injuries with retained intraocular foreign body (IOFB) are examined in this retrospective study. The group most affected was that of males with mean age of 32 years, who sustained a job injury, presenting with a single corneal laceration. Of the 23 cases with injuries 22 (95%) were due to metallic foreign bodies. Of these, 12 (54%) involved f...

Pneumatic retinopexy is a minimally invasive, non-incisional procedure for repairing retinal detachment. This procedure is associated with reduced morbidity, reduced cost and faster postoperative recovery compared to pars plana vitrectomy and scleral buckling. Superior visual acuity outcomes have also been reported. Intraoperative complications are primarily related to the intraocular pressure ...
