RESUMEN
We reviewed our medical records of primary retnal detachment(239 patients, 243 eyes) to compare the clincal findings of phakic retinal detachment(206 eyes) and pseudophakic retinal detachment(37 eyes). Pseudophakic retinal detachment was more common in male(73.0%) than in female(27.0%) and occurred more frequently in aged 60 years or more than phakic retinal detachment(10.4%)(P<0.001). Associated ocular finding such as high myopia(35.0%), peripheral retinal degeneration(23.3%0, retinal tear in fellow eye(5.8%) were more commonly seen in phakic retinal retinal detachment. Rupture of posterior capsule(40.5%), high myopia(18.9%), small pupil(13.5%) were associate with pseudophakic retinal detachment. In pseudophakic retinal detachment, more than 3 quadrant retinal detachment(73.0%) and macular involvement(78.4%) were more common than in phakic retinal detachment(P<0.01), but atropic hole(29.7%), or 2 or more retinal break(10.8%) were less common than in phakic retinal detachment(P<0.01) where the success rate of first operation(59.5%) and the overall success rate(81.1%) were lower in paeudophakic retinal detachment than phakic retinal detachment. The degree of visual recovery was nearly equal between two.
