Isolated Bilateral Microspherophakia With Giant Retinal Tear and Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment

Silicone oils are polymer structures including siloxane repeats in the center. Copolymers formed by combining these polymers at different ratios constitute different silicone structures with different physical and chemical properties. The presence of several factors such as trauma, giant retinal tear, proliferative vitreoretinopathy and retinal tear in posterior localization is the main medical indications for the use of silicone oils in the surgery of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Problems associated with the need for a second surgical intervention to remove silicone oil, the emulsification of silicone oil with the problem this emulsification, and the presence of foreign structure in eye globe are the most important conditions limiting the use of silicone oil.

Purpose: We describe the outcome of a 23-year-old man undergoing vitreoretinal surgery for a macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment secondary to a giant retinal tear. Methods: Patient underwent combined 25- gauge 3-port pars plana vitrectomy with scleral buckle, perfluorocarbon liquid, and perfluoropropane gas tamponade. During surgery, triamcinolone inadvertently entered the subretinal space and was retained. Results: The subretinal triamcinolone deposits spontaneously absorbed over a 2-month period. No adverse sequelae were associated with this complication. Conclusion: This may support avoiding aggressive mechanical removal of iatrogenic subretinal triamcinolone in the context of retinal detachment repair.

A 7-year-old boy with Marfanoid habitus presented with sudden and painless decrease in the vision of the right eye. Ocular examination revealed rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with 360° giant retinal tear in the right eye and small peripheral retinal breaks with lattice degeneration in the left eye. The patient underwent a 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy with scleral buckling in the right eye and laser around the breaks in the left eye. At 1-week follow-up visit, the child presented with similar complaints in the left eye as were seen in the right eye. This was later managed effectively with 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy only. So, with our case report, we would like to highlight the need for aggressive screening in children who are diagnosed with Marfan’s syndrome and the need for prophylactic treatment in the unaffected eye.

Outcome Of Surgery

Purpose: To describe the excellent outcome of surgery for bilateral giant retinal tears (GRTs) with better options of endotamponade. Methods: This is a case report of a 62-year-old man who presented with bilateral GRTs and associated retinal detachment. The tear in the right eye was supero-temporal and silicone oil was used as an endotamponade. The tear in the left eye was infero-temporal and perfluorocarbon liquid was used as an endotamponade. Results: The outcome at 6 months after surgery was excellent with visual acuities of 6/6 in both eyes. Conclusion: Improved availability of endotamponade agents allows repair of bilateral GRTs to be done at the same time, with good surgical outcomes.
