ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To evaluate the result of vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling and silicone oil tamponade with short term face-down positioning in highly myopic patients with retinal detachment due to macular hole.METHODS:
Eleven eyes of highly myopic patients with retinal detachment caused by macular hole were retrospectively reviewed. All patients underwent pars plana vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane peeling, and silicone oil tamponade with short term (1-3 days) face-down positioning. Silicone oil was removed between 6 and 12 months postoperatively. Outcomes included best-corrected visual acuity, retinal reattachment rate, macular hole closure, and complications.RESULTS:
The mean age of patients was 63.3 +/- 8.3 years. During the silicone oil period, all 11 eyes (100%) had complete retinal attachment. After silicone oil removal, retinal detachment recurred in 2 eyes (18.2%). Macular hole closure was observed in 8 eyes (72.7%). The best corrected visual acuity (log MAR) improved from 1.99 +/- 0.94 before surgery to 1.33 +/- 0.62 at final visit.CONCLUSIONS:
Pars plana vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane peeling and silicone oil tamponade with short term face-down positioning was effective in treating retinal detachment caused by macular hole in highly myopic eyes.
