Full thickness macular breaks in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with peripheral retinal breaks.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Between 1975 and 1989, 11 eyes were treated for retinal detachments with both peripheral and full thickness macular breaks. Long term retinal reattachment was dependent on successful closure of peripheral retinal breaks. Direct treatment of the macular break was necessary in only one case, which redetached 3 months after vitrectomy. Vitrectomy is not the initial treatment of choice for uncomplicated retinal detachments with both peripheral and full thickness macular breaks, unless required for the closure of the peripheral retinal breaks.

To evaluate the efficasy of primary vitrectomy for uncomplicated rhegmatogenous retinal detachment associated with posterior hyaloid separation, a series of 63 eyes were reviewed retrospectively. The criteria for vitrectomy included not only eyes with posterior retinal breaks but also those with multiple peripheral retinal breaks. The reattachment rate was 92.1% (58 eyes) after the initial surg...
متن کاملEvaluation and management of suspected retinal detachment.
Retinal detachment often is a preventable cause of vision loss. There are three types of retinal detachments: exudative, tractional, and rhegmatogenous. The most common type is rhegmatogenous, which results from retinal breaks caused by vitreoretinal traction. Risk factors for retinal detachment include advancing age, previous cataract surgery, myopia, and trauma. Patients typically will presen...
متن کاملRetinal breaks due to intravitreal ocriplasmin
Ocriplasmin represents a new treatment option for numerous vitreoretinopathies involving an abnormal vitreomacular interface. While the drug may circumvent the traditional risks of surgical treatment, pharmacologic vitreolysis is not devoid of risk itself. This report presents two cases, one of vitreomacular traction syndrome and the other of a full-thickness macular hole, both of which were tr...
