Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment

In macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, post-surgical recovery can be evaluated using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). An excellent recovery of the external retina is characterized by the restoration of the ellipsoid zone (EZ) and external limiting membrane (ELM). These findings on OCT are associated with better visual outcomes, indicating effective surgical intervention and retinal reattachment.

Retinal reattachment in the wrong position can occur following surgery for retinal detachment, and fundus autofluorescence (FAF) can reveal hyperautofluorescent lines where the retinal vessels originally lay. These lines represent areas of misalignment and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) stress, providing insight into the surgical outcome and potential functional impact.

A giant retinal tear is a full-thickness break in the retina, often exceeding 90 degrees of circumference, and frequently leads to retinal detachment. This condition requires urgent intervention, typically with vitrectomy and retinal reattachment surgery, to prevent further vision loss. Early detection and prompt surgical management are crucial for preserving vision.

Giant retinal tears can be assessed using fundus autofluorescence (FAF), which reveals the previous location of retinal vessels as hyperautofluorescent lines. These lines indicate where the retinal vessels were detached from the underlying retinal pigment epithelium, aiding in the evaluation of the extent of the tear and guiding surgical repair.

Degenerative retinoschisis involves the splitting of retinal layers, which can lead to retinal detachment if a tear occurs in both layers, such as in this case.

A 41yo male presented with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (macula on) and multiple retinal tears, the larger one was superior. He was treated by primary pars plana vitrectomy. Forty days after surgery BCVA was 20/20 and C3F8 was filling 1/3 of the vitreous cavity. Vitrectomy with gas injection is a common treatment for retinal detachment, involving the removal of the vitreous gel and injecting a gas bubble to press the retina back into place. The gas bubble helps flatten the retina against the wall of the eye, facilitating reattachment and healing.
