VITRECTOMY FOR RETINAL DETACHMENT CAUSED BY ACUTE RETINAL NECROSIS / 中华眼底病杂志

ABSTRACT

Five eyes of acute retinal necrosis(ARN) with multiple retinal breaks and retinal detachment were treated by closed vetrectomy combined with encircling buckle, gas/fluid exchange, endolaser and cryotherapy. After operation, the detached retinas reattached in 4 eyes, and among them the visual acuity was 0.2 in 1 eye, and better than 0.05 in 3 eyes. The follow-up duration in 5 eyes was from 6 to 18 months and recurrent retinal detachment was found in one eye.
