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...

Currently there remains controversy in the surgical management of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) due to giant tears (GRTs), a potentially blinding condition. To clarify which technique is better depending on origin and magnitude tear this study aimed analyze anatomic functional outcomes. trans- postoperative complications, we used long-term final structural, optical coherence tomograph...

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...

BACKGROUND Retinoblastoma is considered the most common intraocular malignancy in childhood, comprising 4% of all pediatric cancers. Management of retinoblastoma has evolved over the past two decades and intra-ophthalmic artery chemotherapy has emerged as a new modality of globe-conserving treatment with excellent results. This treatment achieves effective tumor reduction by delivering localize...

PURPOSE To report cases of spontaneous retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) tear complicating serous pigment epithelial detachment (PED). METHODS The records of 3 Asian patients with spontaneous giant RPE tear were reviewed retrospectively by including clinical presentation, angiography, optical coherence tomography, fundus autofluorescence imaging, and visual outcome. RESULTS Three patients (4...
