BACKGROUND Pneumatic retinopexy (PR) remains a popular technique for the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). OBJECTIVE To evaluate the single operation and final success rate of PR for primary treatment of RRD and to determine factors associated with anatomical and visual outcomes. METHODS This retrospective case review study analyzed the data of patients who underwent PR ...

A 52-year-old man developed severe vision loss in the right eye due to a large retinal detachment. Vitrectomy was performed in that eye, with 15% C3F8 perfluoropropane gas injected into the posterior chamber.1 He transiently regained hand-motion acuity. Posterior chamber paracentesis was performed for elevated intraocular pressure; endophthalmitis was treated with intraocular antibiotics. After...

We report a 24-year-old man with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome who developed a macular hole (MH) during the acute inflammatory stage. Spontaneous resolution was unlikely because of the MH dimensions and absence of vitreous adherence. The patient underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and internal limiting membrane peeling during the acute stage followed by retinopexy with octafluoropropane...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To compare pneumatic retinopexy (PR) and scleral buckle for the repair of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. PATIENTS AND METHODS Retrospective analysis of 90 patients undergoing surgery for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, with 46 patients undergoing PR compared with 44 patients undergoing scleral buckle procedure (SBP). RESULTS Both groups had si...
