ABSTRACT
In two patients with macular hole, retinal detachment in the posterior pole and commotio retinae, we performed pars plana vitrectomy, fluid-air exchange, intravitreal injection and removal of 0.04cc autologous serum, and air-gas exchange. These patients absolutely maintained prone position during the two-week postoperative period. As a result, anatomical and functional success about macular hole was accomplished in both cases through a long term of observation over a year. In traumatic macular hole with retinal detachment, we suppose that anatomical and functional success will be accomplished through pars plana vitrectomy, intravitreal injection and removal of autologous serum and gas injection into the vitreous cavity.
