Background: Injection of Silicon oil is a standard procedure for vitreous replacement in vitrectomy procedure for retinal detachment cases. It acts as a great tamponading agent for reattachment of retinal breaks or retinal detachment. Despite its minor side effect, silicon oil could cause several complications such as cataract, endothelia decompensation, increased intraocular pressure, and secondary glaucoma. Thus needed to be evacuated after the retinal reattachment is stabilized. Following evacuation procedure, visual acuity are known to be significantly improved. However, some cases shows decreased of visual acuity due to retinal redetachment, optic nerve damage due to secondary glaucoma, hypotonym vitreous hemorrhage, expulsive hemorrhage, and cornea abnormality. Methods: A retrospective descriptive study of retinal detachment patients underwent silicon oil evacuation procedure in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Indonesia from September 2017 until Januari 2018. Results: There were seventy seven cases of retinal detachment undergoes silicon oil evacuation within period of September 2017-Januari 2018. There were improvement of visual acuity (greater than 6/60) after one month of silicon oil evacuation. Anatomical retinal reattachment was successfully observed in 91% patient. The most occuring complication after silicon oil evacuation includes secondary glaucoma and retinal redetachment. Conclusion: Silicon oil evacuation is a standard procedure following a vitrectomy in retinal detachment cases. The evacuation procedure yields in positive benefit for patient in term of visual acuity and anatomical structure.

Introduction: The results of surgical outcomes of 20 gauge pars plana vitrectomy in Eales’ disease are available in the scientific literature. However, all these studies have been done using the 20 gauge vitrectomy systems and most studies have been conducted in a retrospective manner. Objective: To evaluate the outcomes and safety of 23 gauge vitrectomy in complications of Eales’ disease. Materials and methods: Study design: Consecutive interventional case series. Participants: Seventy-six eyes of 72 nonconsecutive patients undergoing 23-gauge vitrectomy for complications of Eales’ disease were enrolled. The participants were followed up for a minimum of one year. Intervention: The participants underwent a complete demographic, medical and ophthalmic evaluation. A 23-gauge vitrectomy was performed. Endotamponade was used when necessary. Perioperative and postoperative events were recorded. Primary outcome measures were visual acuity and complications arising due to surgery. Results: Indication for surgery was non-clearing vitreous hemorrhage in 89.4% (68/76) and secondary retinal detachment in 10.6% (8). Visual acuity improved from Log Mar 1.80 ± 0.19 units preoperatively to Log Mar 0.47±0.59. Best-corrected visual acuity equivalent to Snellen 6/9 was achieved in 77. 6% of eyes. . Surgical failure was seen in 6.5% cases. Four cases were lost due to progression to neovascular glaucoma and 1 case was lost to severe residual retinal detachment. Iatrogenic portside retinal breaks occurred in 3.9% (3), post-vitrectomy retinal detachment 2.6% ( 2), hypotony 1.3% (1) and cataract in 38.1% (28) cases. Conclusion: 23-gauge sutureless vitrectomy in patients with Eales’ disease is a safe and effective technique with acceptable level of risk and complications.

Purpose. To describe the technique and outcomes of using either inverted or free internal limiting membrane flap in the management of retinal detachment due to paracentral retinal breaks. Methods. This retrospective observational case series includes nine patients who received surgery for retinal detachment due to paracentral retinal breaks developed either from primary rhegmatogenous origin, or secondary iatrogenic retinal breaks after prior membrane peeling, or during surgery for tractional retinal detachment. Either inverted or free internal limiting membrane flaps were inserted in the identified breaks, followed by air fluid exchange and gas tamponade. Visual acuity and structural changes were evaluated. Results. Nine eyes were included. One had primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, one had highly myopic eye with peripapillary atrophic hole, three had secondary retinal detachment after membrane peeling for foveoschisis or macular pucker, one had recurrent retinal detachment due to proliferative vitreoretinopathy, one had combination of tractional and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, and two had iatrogenic breaks during surgery. The retinal breaks of all eyes were sealed with retina attached postoperatively. Visual acuity in logarithm of minimal angle of resolution improved from 1.18 ± 0.55 preoperatively to 0.74 ± 0.47 postoperatively (p=0.04). Conclusion. Internal limiting membrane flap technique can be a surgical approach selectively for retinal detachment due to paracentral retinal breaks with difficulty for laser application. The retina can be attached successfully and achieve good visual outcome without major complication. This trial is registered with NCT03707015.

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.

Background. The method of the use of autologous conditioned platelet rich plasma is a promising method in the surgery of retinal pathology, particularly in the surgery of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment without the use of additional endolaser photocoagulation, but requires the foundation of its efficiency.Aim: to evaluate the effectiveness of the surgery of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with central (macular) and peripheral retinal tears, including retinal abruption from the dentate line, with the use of 25, 27-gauge subtotal vitrectomy, pneumoretinopexy and silicone oil tamponade with blocking of retinal defect with the use of autologous conditioned plasma without the use of endolaser photocoagulation around retinal defects.Materials and methods. The surgery included 25, 27-gauge vitrectomy, posterior hyaloid membrane removal, internal limiting membrane removal in case of macular hole, pneumoretinopexy, instiilation in 2–3 layers of autologous conditioned platelet rich plasma, devoid of leukocytes and containing 1.5–3 times more thrombocytes than in whole blood into the area of retinal detachment or along the edge of retinotomy till the retinal defect and nearby intact retina are totally covered. A total of 29 patients with visual acuity from 0.03 to 1.0 underwent the surgery.Results. In the early postoperative period (up to 1 month) 96.6 % of patients showed total retinal reattachment, retinal detachment was blocked, in one patient with multiple retinal tears recurrent retinal detachment was detected; in the early delayed postoperative period (1–3 months) 82.8 % of patients showed total retinal reattachment, in 5 patient retinal reattachment was partial.In the late postoperative period (4–12 months) 86.2 % of patients showed total retinal reattachment, there were 4 recurrent retinal detachments. Patients with recurrent retinal detachment were successfully reoperated. Autologous conditioned plasma was not used during reoperations. Visual acuity of the patients, which underwent surgery in the late postoperative period, was 0.1–1.0.Conclusions. 25, 27-gauge vitreoretinal surgery of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with central and peripheral retinal tears, including tears with abruption from the dentate line and retinal defects blocking with the use of autologous conditioned plasma rich with thrombocytes without the use of endolaser photocoagulation around retinal defects – is a method which allows to achieve in most cases total retinal reattachment, better functioning of the operated eye.

A longitudinal study was carried out in the vitreo-retina clinic of the National Institute of Ophthalmology andHospital (NIO&H) on 30 eyes of 25 patients who were treated with scleral buckle (SB) surgery during theperiod of October 2004 to September 2005 of either sex. The aim of this study was to determine the outcome ofSB surgery in Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). The main entry criteria for this study wereprimary RRD treated with SB and for which 12 weeks of follow-up were available. The eyes with proliferativevitreoretinopathy or with history of SB surgery, vitrectomy, posterior segment open-globe trauma orsignificant concurrent eye disease e.g. amblyopia, macular disease etc were excluded from this study. Overalltwenty-four eyes (80%) achieved retinal reattachment with one SB procedure (encircling or segmental); themedian 12-week visual acuity was 6/12. Three additional eyes (10%) achieved retinal reattachment with onevitreoretinal procedure; the median 12-week visual acuity was 6/9. Three eyes (10%) never achieved retinalreattachment despite one additional vitreoretinal procedure, and 12-week visual acuity was no perception oflight. It can be concluded that SB for primary RRD achieves anatomical efficacy and preservation of centralvision in the majority of eyes.Key words: Scleral buckle; Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment outcome.DOI: 10.3329/jafmc.v6i1.5987Journal of Armed Forces Medical College, Bangladesh Vol.6(1) 2010 p.21-24

Abstract Aim: To evaluate the risk factors, clinical presentation, management and outcome of inadvertent globe perforation during peribulbar anaesthesia.Methods: This retrospective study evaluated the medical records of all the patients treated for globe perforation secondary to peribulbar block preceding ocular surgery from 2012 to 2020. The patients were divided into three groups; Group 1 - clear media with no retinal detachment (RD); group 2 - vitreous hemorrhage (VH) without RD; and group 3 - RD with/without VH.Results: Twenty-five patients (25 eyes) were identified. The incidence of globe perforation was 0.002 %. The mean axial length (AL) was 24.7±2.7mm (Range, 20.9-31.2mm). Eleven eyes (45.8%) had AL≥24mm. The most common presenting features were VH (n=14), ocular hypotony (n=7) and RD (n=7). The treatment included laser photocoagulation for the retinal break(s) (n=7) and vitrectomy (n=17). Retinal breaks were identified in all the patients (total breaks, 37). Other complications included full-thickness macular hole (n=5), subretinal haemorrhage (n=4) and retinal vascular occlusions (n=4). Mean presenting best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in group 1,2 and 3 were logMAR 0.79±0.73, 1.82±0.78 and 2.13±0.59 respectively. All the patients, except one who did not undergo surgery due to advanced proliferative vitreoretinopathy, had an attached retina at the time of last follow-up. The mean final BCVA was logMAR 0.59±0.79, 0.48±0.26 and 1.25±0.64 respectively. Conclusion: Early intervention can help manage the eyes with inadvertent perforation successfully. The presence of retinal detachment, as well as macular and vascular complications are risk factors for poor prognosis.

Aim. To describe epidemiologic and clinical characteristics and prognostic factors influencing visual outcome after intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) injury. Methods. Medical records of 370 patients (373 eyes) with IOFBs were reviewed to identify the factors influencing visual acuity by univariate and multivariate analyses. Results. The majority of patients (97.0%) were men, with a mean age of 38.1 years. The most common cause of ocular injury was hammering (52.6%); magnetic IOFBs occurred in 84.7% of these cases. Factors associated with poor visual outcome (defined as <1.3 logMAR) included the following: age ≥50 years (P=0.046); worse presenting visual acuity (P<0.001); complications of retinal breaks (P=0.006) and endophthalmitis (P=0.032); vitrectomy (P=0.035); and intraocular C3F8 gas tamponade (P=0.038). Excellent visual outcome (defined as ≥0.5 logMAR) was associated with age <50 years (P=0.003); better presenting visual acuity (PVA) (P<0.001); wound length <4 mm (P=0.005); absence of vitreous hemorrhage (P=0.026) and retinal breaks (P<0.001); nonvitrectomy surgery (P=0.043); and use of balanced saline (P=0.029). Conclusions. Multiple prognostic factors were identified that may predict visual outcome and globe survival after IOFBs injury. Age, initial presenting visual acuity, wound length, complications (vitreous hemorrhage, retinal breaks, and endophthalmitis), surgical approach, and intraocular tamponade were significant predictors of visual outcome.

Background. To review the pattern of retinal detachment (RD) in patients with choroidal coloboma and type of reattachment surgery performed and to study its outcome in terms of retinal reattachment, visual acuity, and postsurgical complications. Methods. Observational case series of a single tertiary eye institution of 13 eyes having choroidal coloboma with RD done from January 2015 to June 2017. Results. Mean age of presentation was 29.3 years (Range 14–60 years). Males were two times more affected than females (2.25 : 1). The overall rate of anatomic success achieved after RD repair and silicon oil removal at 6 months was 92.3% (12/13 eyes). Following surgery, visual acuity improved in 6 out of 11 eyes (54.54%), remained unchanged in 4 eyes (36.36%), and worsened in 1 eye (9.1%). The most common complication following surgery was secondary glaucoma in 30.7% (4/11 eyes). Conclusion. The overall anatomic success rate of retina reattachment surgery in colobomatous eye is good, and the visual outcome following surgery can improve in majority of the cases or may remain same in few cases. Hence, timely surgery is advocated. But careful follow-up is required as the risk of postoperative complications is also high.

Purpose.To identify and study causes of vitreous hemorrhage (VH) in pediatric age group and to investigate factors predicting visual and anatomical outcomes.Procedure.A retrospective review of patients aged 16 years or less with the diagnosis of vitreous hemorrhage from January 2005 until December 2010.Results.A total number of 230 patients (240 eyes) were identified. Traumatic vitreous hemorrhage accounted for 82.5%. In cases of accidental trauma, final visual acuity of 20/200 was significantly associated with visual acuity of ≥20/200 at presentation and the absence of retinal detachment at last follow-up. Patients with nontraumatic vitreous hemorrhage were significantly younger with higher rates of enucleation/evisceration/exenteration and retinal detachment at last follow-up compared to traumatic cases.Conclusion.Trauma is the most common cause of VH in pediatric age group. In this group, initial visual acuity was the most important predictor for visual outcome, and the presence of retinal detachment is a negative predictor for final good visual outcome. The outcome is significantly worse in nontraumatic cases compared to traumatic cases.


Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is one of the most important pathologies within the retinal diseases that threaten the visual acuity. It may be complicated for any other retinal disease. One of them is vitreous hemorrhage. Vitreous hemorrhage may cause some difficulties either during diagnosis or treatment period. Vitreous hemorrhage may also lead to some treatment challenges as proliferative vitreoretinopathy and threatens visual acuity.
