ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To describe a case of optic nerve (ON) anomaly and retinal detachment with extensive subretinal silicone oil after repair of retinal detachment. A three-generation family history of ON anomaly, two generations with detachment, is presented. METHODS: Retrospective chart review. A multigenerational family with ON anomalies and macular detachment. RESULTS: Final repair of retinal detachment was achieved using retinotomy for removal of subretinal 5,000-centistoke silicone oil, gas-fluid exchange, and peripapillary photocoagulation. Silicone oil had been previously used successfully in this eye, yet on subsequent use resulted in subretinal migration. A four patient-three-generation family history of ON anomalies was elicited, and three members were photographed for documentation. CONCLUSION: Optic nerve anomalies and macular detachment present a treatment dilemma because they are associated with poor vision and often a suboptimal visual outcome after surgery. This case demonstrates a large amount of subretinal silicone oil, which migrated over a 2-month period. This case series is a report of a three-generational family demonstrating variable expressivity of ON anomalies complicated by macular detachment in two generations.
