Despite improvements in vitreoretinal surgery techniques, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is still one of the major causes of visual loss in the world. Pneumatic retinopexy (PR), scleral buckle, and pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) are the modalities that are used in the treatment of retinal detachment. Intraocular gases, which are frequently used in PR and PPV, are indispensable molecules due to their tamponade effects. In order to get favorable postoperative outcomes, the proper type of gas selection should be made by considering the properties of the gases, indications, potential complications, and findings of the patients together.

Abstract Behçet’s disease (BD) is a multisystemic, immune-mediated occlusive vasculitis of unknown etiology with a chronic, relapsing remitting course. Ocular involvement is characterized by recurrent nongranulomatous uveitis with necrotizing obliterative vasculitis affecting both the anterior and posterior segments of the eye and often leads to blindness. We describe successful surgical management of a rare case of combined rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and tractional retinal detachment (TRD) in a patient with Behçet’s disease. A 28-year-old Hispanic women with known Behcet’s disease presented with loss of vision of both eyes. She was found to have extensive bilateral necrotizing vasculitis with severe ischemia. Despite aggressive antivascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy and pan retinal photocoagulation, patient progressed to total blindness from development of combined rhegmatogenous and tractional funnel retinal detachment. Small gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with silicone oil tamponade was performed for retinal detachment repair (without scleral buckle). Combined RRD and TRD was successfully treated with standard PPV with silicone oil placement without use of scleral buckle. Visual acuity 1 year postoperatively improved from ability to perceive light to 20/400. Combined forms of retinal detachment, a rare development in Behçet’s disease may be effectively treated with PPV (without scleral buckling) with favorable visual and anatomic outcomes.
