Posterior pole retinal detachment due to a macular hole in a patient with a Boston Keratoprosthesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
PURPOSE To describe the clinical course of a patient with a Boston Keratoprosthesis type I who developed a localized posterior pole retinal detachment secondary to a macular hole. OBSERVATIONS A 73-year-old patient with a Boston Keratoprosthesis developed a localized posterior pole retinal detachment secondary to a macular hole. The retinal detachment was repaired with a 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy, membrane peel, fluid-air exchange and 18% C3F8. Retinal reattachment was achieved but the macular hole remained open. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE A posterior pole retinal detachment secondary to a macular hole can be repaired using standard techniques despite the limited view through a Boston Keratoprosthesis.

متن کاملPosterior Pole Detachment Technique for the Management of Full Thickness Macular Hole
Full thickness macular holes have an estimated prevalence of 1/3300, with more than fifty percent occurring in patients aged 65-74 years [1]. The vast majority (>80%) are idiopathic, with smaller proportions occurring in the setting of trauma, inflammation, and myopia. Furthermore, it is estimated that even fewer (less than 1% of full thickness macular holes (FTMH)) have been reported in associ...
