Delayed macular hole formation after demarcation laser photocoagulation for subclinical retinal detachment
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this paper is to report a series of macular holes that developed after demarcation laser photocoagulation for subclinical retinal detachments. This observational case series consists of three eyes from three patients seen between 2005 and 2012. Delayed idiopathic macular hole formation occurred following demarcation laser photocoagulation for subclinical retinal detachment. Demarcation laser photocoagulation of subclinical retinal detachments may predispose to macular hole formation.

A 44 year old woman presented with decreased vision and floaters, started since 4 days before, in her right eye referred to our ophthalmology clinic. On examination, it was found that the best corrected visual acuity was limited to R-E: 20/80 and that of the left eye: 20/20. Fundus examination of the right eye revealed a rhegmatogenous subclinical retinal detachment and vitreous hemorrhage 15 m...
متن کاملRetinal neovascularization and an angioma-like lesion after demarcation photocoagulation for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
Laser photocoagulation might aggravate the ischemia of an area of retinal detachment and predispose the retina to formation of neovascularization and an angioma-like lesion. We present a case of retinal neovascularization (RNV) and an angioma-like lesion occurring after demarcation photocoagulation for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). A 20-year-old woman suffered from a retinal atrophic...

PURPOSE To evaluate the prophylactic effect of krypton yellow laser for the treatment of macular holes in high myopic eyes in order to reduce the risk of retinal detachment. METHODS Twenty-seven eyes of 27 patients with high myopia and macular holes were randomly assigned to two groups. Fifteen patients (group A, 15 eyes) were subject to laser photocoagulation around the hole margin along wit...
