Giant tear retinal detachment
Pavlovic S., Weinand F.
Zentrum für Augenheilkunde, Friedrichstr 18, 35392 Gießen
Giant retinal tear is defined as a retinal break which extends at least
90 degrees around the circumference of the fundus. Because of large area
of bare pigment epithelium giant retinal tears have high tendency to develop
proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) and worse prognosis compared to
rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. In this video a surgical procedure
to treat giant tear retinal detachment is presented. "Simple"
cases of retinal detachment are presented, as well as cases complicated
with severe PVR. Both pars plana vitrectomy combined with gas tamponade
and silicone oil surgery are illustrated. In our clinical experience uncomplicated
giant tear retinal detachment as well cases complicated with PVR can be
successfully repaired. Late anatomic and functional results are favorable,
even in eyes with severe PVR.
