Peripapillary Staphyloma

A healthy 4-year-old male presented a fundus examination with a unilateral contractile peripapillary staphyloma surrounded by redundant retina and retinal pigment epithelium atrophy. Five years later, best-corrected visual acuity decreased to hand motion due to a retinal detachment with macular hole. One month after first vitrectomy, scleral buckle and intraocular gas, retina re-detached. Second surgery was performed with silicon oil tamponade and lensectomy without intraocular lens (IOL). Subretinal silicon oil was detected at the third month of follow-up when vitrectomy, inferior retinectomy, and laser photocoagulation of temporal border of staphyloma with silicon oil tamponade were performed. The retina remained attached and best-corrected visual acuity was 20/600 with intraocular silicon oil. A fourth surgery was performed for emulsified silicon oil extraction replaced with intraocular gas. At 6 months of follow-up, the retina re-detached again. This is a challenging vitreoretinal surgery in which re-detachments were due to retinal folds around the contractile staphyloma that raised macular hole. This is the first report of the combined presentation of contractile peripapillary staphyloma, retinal detachment and macular hole with a long-time follow-up period of years.

AIM: To evaluate the effect of vitrectomy combined with scleral shortening for eyes with myopic macular retinoschisis. METHODS: Thirty-seven patients with myopic macular retinoschisis who underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) combined with scleral shortening were reviewed. Axial length (AL), the height of macular retinoschisis, the height of retinal detachment if existed, the diameter of macular hole if existed and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were obtained. The preoperative and postoperative parameters were compared. RESULTS: At postoperative 24mo, the mean AL and height of macular retinoschisis were reduced significantly by 0.79 mm and 256.51 μm (t=8.064, P<0.0001; Z=-5.086, P<0.0001) respectively. In addition, the mean height of retinal detachment and diameter of macular hole were also reduced significantly by 365.38 μm and 183.68 μm (Z=-4.457, P=0.000008; Z=-2.983, P=0.003) respectively. Meanwhile, the postoperative BCVA was improved markedly (Z=-2.126, P=0.033). CONCLUSION: Vitrectomy combined with scleral shortening is an effective surgical method for eyes with myopic macular retinoschisis, whether or not macular hole and retinal detachment are present.

Background/aimsTo investigate the surgical outcomes of posterior scleral reinforcement (PSR) using genipin-cross-linked sclera to treat macular hole retinal detachment (MHRD) in highly myopic eyes.MethodsNineteen patients with high myopia (19 eyes) with MHRD were treated sequentially with genipin-cross-linked PSR and were followed at least for 1 year after the surgery. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), axial length (AL), optical coherence tomography (OCT) outcomes and the complications were evaluated.ResultsMacular hole was closed in 73.7% of the eyes, foveal reattachment rate was 100%. The mean logMAR BCVA improved from 1.27±0.55 preoperatively to 0.88±0.55 postoperatively. The preoperative AL (29.88±1.97 mm) was decreased (27.73±1.84 mm) after the operation (p<0.001).ConclusionsFor at least a 1-year period of follow-up, PSR with genipin-cross-linked sclera should be considered as a preferred surgical approach to treat MHRD in highly myopic eyes, especially when foveal retinoschisis is also documented.

Purpose: To compare the efficacy of ranibizumab and aflibercept in the treatment of diabetic macular edema associated with subfoveal retinal detachment. Methods: This is a retrospective, comparative study. The treatment-naïve diabetic macular edema patients who had diabetic macular edema associated with subfoveal retinal detachment and underwent intravitreal aflibercept or intravitreal ranibizumab treatment were included. The patients were treated on a pro re nata treatment regimen after a loading dose of 3-monthly injections and the follow-up time was 12 months. The primary outcome measure of this study was the presence of subfoveal retinal detachment after treatment at different time points. The secondary outcome measures were the change in best corrected visual acuity and central retinal thickness. Results: A total of 46 eyes of 46 patients were included. The aflibercept group consisted of 20 and the ranibizumab group consisted of 26 eyes. During the follow-up period of 12 months, subfoveal retinal detachment was completely resolved in 75% versus 57.7% of the eyes at month 3 (p = 0.2), 90% versus 76.9% at month 6 (p = 0.2), 90% versus 65.4% at month 9 (p = 0.05), and 100% versus 80.8% at month 12 (p = 0.03) in the intravitreal aflibercept versus intravitreal ranibizumab groups. The change in best corrected visual acuity was not statistically different between the groups at months 3, 6, 9, and 12, respectively (p > 0.05 for all). Conclusion: Both intravitreal aflibercept and intravitreal ranibizumab were effective in regards to anatomical and functional outcomes of diabetic macular edema patients associated with subfoveal retinal detachment. Interestingly, intravitreal aflibercept seemed more effective than intravitreal ranibizumab in the resolution of subfoveal retinal detachment at month 12.

Purpose: To report a case of endophthalmitis and retinal detachment after injury caused by an animal inoculation needle. Case summary: A 39-year-old man received an injury to his left eye with an animal inoculation needle while vaccinating a pig came to the hospital due to decreased visual acuity. At initial presentation, the best-corrected visual acuity in the left eye was “counting fingers,” and slit lamp examination revealed corneal lacerations, anterior capsule rupture, and traumatic cataract. Ultrasonography showed no specific findings in the vitreous and retina. Primary corneal suture, phacoemulsification, anterior vitrectomy due to rupture of the posterior capsule and vitreous prolapse, intraocular lens implantation, and intravitreal antibiotic injection were performed. On day 1 postoperatively, vitrectomy, anterior chamber irrigation, intravitreal antibiotic injection, and silicone oil injection were performed as signs of endophthalmitis, such as hypopyon and retinal tear, and focal retinal detachment were observed during surgery. Silicone oil removal was performed 7 months after the operation and the best-corrected visual acuity was 0.6. There has been no recurrence during follow-up. Conclusions: This is the first report in Korea of ocular injury caused by an animal inoculation needle. If the fundus is not observed in such injuries, there is a possibility of endophthalmitis and retinal detachment and early vitrectomy should be considered.

Purpose. The treatment of idiopathic macular holes has been basically modeled, and vitreoretinal surgery is recognized as an effective treatment. However, the postoperative tamponade of gas will still make the patient uncomfortable and may have related complications. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether air as an intraocular tamponade is equivalent to gas and what advantages may exist. Methods. A retrospective study was performed in one hundred and ninety-eight patients from 2013 to 2017; 112 received gas tamponade and 86 received air tamponade. After receiving retinal surgery, the outcomes of best corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, slit lamp examination, fundus examination, and imaging of the macula by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography were analyzed. Results. Before operation, there was no statistically significant difference in age, sex, macular hole diameter, or visual acuity between groups. The median follow-up period for the C3F8 group was 26 months, and the median follow-up for the air group was 25 months. After the operation, the best corrected visual acuity and macular hole closure rate were not significantly different between the two groups. The face-down time after the operation, the incidence of lens opacity on the third postoperative day, the intraocular pressure on the third postoperative day, and the operation time were significantly different between the two groups. Conclusions. In idiopathic macular hole surgery, the effect of air as an intraocular tamponade material can be similar to that of C3F8 but has fewer complications. In particular, it is a better choice for patients for whom the face-down position is not suitable.

Aphakic Retinal Detachment

Introduction: Retinal detachment remains one of the most serious complications of cataract surgery. Treatment of this condition has represented a challenge for vitreoretinal surgeons. Scleral buckle (SB) surgery is one of the treatment options in pseudophakic and aphakic retinal detachment (RD). Aims: To find out the anatomical and visual outcome of SB in pseudophakic and aphakic RD. Subjects and methods: Retrospective case series of 46 consecutive eyes of 46 patients with RD (38 pseudophakic and 8 aphakic eyes) that had undergone conventional SB surgery were reviewed from patient files. Postoperative retinal status at 3 weeks, 6 weeks and 3 months were recorded to see the anatomical success rate after retinal reattachment surgery. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at 3 months follow-up was noted. Results: The mean age of the patients was 54.28 ± 13.49 years. Forty eyes (86.9 %) had primary attachment by 6 weeks duration. Five eyes had undergone repeat surgery within a six-week duration (pars plana vitrectomy). Forty patients had follow-up visit to 12 weeks, achieving retinal attachment in 37 eyes (80.5 %). Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at 3 months was better than 6/60 in 18 eyes (39.1%), BCVA better or equal to 1/60 but less than 6/60 in 18 eyes (39.1%) and BCVA less than 1/60 in 4 eyes (8.7 %). Conclusion: Conventional scleral buckling has good outcome for pseudophakic and aphakic RD and can be useful for patients in peripheral eye hospitals where patients cannot afford high cost surgeries.

Purpose: We report a case of bilateral serous retinal detachment (SRD) associated with inferior posterior staphyloma (IPS) treated successfully with scleral shortening. Patient and Methods: A 63-year-old woman presented with bilateral visual loss due to an SRD with IPS. The best-corrected visual acuity levels were 0.6 (20/30) and 0.5 (20/40) in the right and left eye, respectively. The patient underwent vitrectomy and scleral shortening in the right eye. The lamellar scleral crescent was resected 4 mm in width from the 5- to 8-o'clock positions. Seven interrupted 5-0 polyester sutures were placed at the edge of the lamellar scleral crescent. After 25-gauge three-port vitrectomy, the sutures were tightened. Optical coherence tomography showed decreased curvature at the staphyloma border. The choroidal thickness decreased in the superior flat portion of the fundus and increased slightly in the staphyloma. The SRD resolved 3 months postoperatively. The best-corrected visual acuity in the right eye improved to 0.8 (20/25) 6 months postoperatively. Angiography 6 months postoperatively showed decreased diffuse dye leakage at the fovea in the right eye; indocyanine green angiography did not show marked changes. Discussion: Scleral shortening with vitrectomy changes the eye wall shape, may improve the retinal pigment epithelial integrity, and may be a treatment option for SRD with IPS.

Abstract Purpose To investigate the macular vessel density and thickness in macular-on rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) after vitrectomy with gas and silicone oil (SO) tamponade. Methods Patients with macular-on RRD eyes, treated with a single successful vitrectomy with gas or SO tamponade and a minimum 30 months follow-up, were reviewed. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), macular vessel density and retinal thickness by using optical coherence tomography angiography, were compared to the contralateral eyes. Results Sixteen eyes with gas tamponade and 17 eyes with SO tamponade were included in the study. LogMAR best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) slightly improved from 0.25 ± 0.18 (Snellen 20/36) to 0.17 ± 0.23 (Snellen 20/30) in eyes with gas tamponade, and decreased from 0.30 ± 0.22 (Snellen 20/40) to 0.49 ± 0.28 (Snellen 20/62) in eyes with SO tamponade. The parafoveal vessel densities in superficial vascular complex (SVC) and the corresponding inner retinal thickness (IRT) were similar between the affected eyes and the contralateral eyes in gas tamponade group (P = 0.578, P = 0.943), while significantly reduced in the affected eyes, compared to the contralateral eyes in SO tamponade group (P < 0.001, P < 0.001). Conclusion Eyes in SO tamponade group had worse BCVA, lower SVC vessel densities and thinner corresponding IRT after vitrectomy for macular-on RRD, than those in gas tamponade group.

Purpose. To report the anatomic and visual results of a new sutureless illuminated macular buckle designed for patients with macular hole retinal detachment related to high myopia (MMHRD). Design. Prospective nonrandomized comparative interventional trial. Methods. Twenty myopic eyes of 20 patients (mean age, 51.4 years; range, 35–65 years) presenting with MMHRD with a posterior staphyloma, in whom the new buckle was used, were evaluated. The buckle used was assembled from a 5 mm wide sponge and a 7 mm wide silicone tire; it was fixed utilizing the sterile topical adhesive Histoacryl Blue (B Braun, TS1050044FP) which polymerizes in seconds upon being exposed to water-containing substances. The primary outcomes measured included aided visual acuity (BCVA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings. The mean follow-up period was 6 months. Results. Postoperatively, the MH closure was identified by OCT in 8 (40%) eyes. The mean BCVA increased from 0.11 to 0.21 (p<0.005). The axial length of the eyes included decreased from 30.5 mm preoperatively to 29.8 mm (p=0.002) postoperatively. Conclusion. Preparation of the new sutureless macular buckle is simple and easy. Illumination of the terminal part of the buckle ensures proper placement. Histoacryl Blue is effective in fixing the buckle in its place for at least 6 months with no reported intra- or postoperative complications.

Aim: To evaluate the effect of phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation in eyes with pre-existing trabeculectomy.Methods: This prospective single-center clinical study evaluated intraocular pressure in 60 eyes of 60 patients who underwent phacoemulsification and implantation of a foldable intraocular lens after a previous successful trabeculectomy. Patients who had a trabeculectomy more than one year prior to the study were included. Intraocular pressure, number of antiglaucoma medications, bleb appearance, and visual acuity were recorded preoperatively, and at each follow-up examination and 12 months after phacoemulsification.Results: The mean intraocular pressure before phacoemulsification was 12.42 mmHg (SD, 4.60 mmHg), which increased to 14.98 mmHg (SD, 4.18 mmHg), 14.47 mmHg (SD, 3.58 mmHg), 15.44 mmHg (SD, 3.60 mmHg), and 15.71 mmHg (SD, 3.47 mmHg) after one, three, six, and 12 months, respectively. At each follow-up visit, the mean IOP was significantly higher than the preoperative value (p < 0.001, p = 0.015, p ≤ 0.001, and p = 0.001 at month one, three, six, and 12, respectively). The mean preoperative best-corrected visual acuity was 0.98 logMAR (SD, 0.44 logMAR) and the mean postoperative best-corrected visual acuity at 12 months was 0.20 logMAR (SD, 0.21 logMAR) [p = 0.0001]. The mean preoperative number of antiglaucoma medications used was 0.57 (SD, 0.63), which increased to 0.65 (SD, 0.63 ), 0.70 (SD, 0.72 ) 0.68, (SD, 0.70), and 0.67 (SD, 0.77 ) at one, three, six, and 12 months, respectively, but there were no statistically significant differences. Bleb size decreased clinically after phacoemulsification. Nineteen of 60 eyes (32%) developed fibrosis of bleb with decreased bleb size.Conclusion: Phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation significantly increased intraocular pressure and increased the number of antiglaucoma medications in eyes with pre-existing functioning filtering blebs.
