Vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling for macular retinoschisis and retinal detachment without macular hole in highly myopic eyes - 26/08/11
, Yushi Sakamoto, MD a, Hazuki Kita, MD aAbstract |
Purpose |
To report anatomic and visual improvement following vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling for two highly myopic patients with retinoschisis and/or retinal detachment without a macular hole.
Design |
Two interventional case reports.
Methods |
Two highly myopic patients who had retinoschisis and/or retinal detachment without a full-thickness macular hole underwent vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane peeling, and long-acting gas injection. Main outcome measures included best-corrected visual acuity, biomicroscopic appearance, and optical coherent tomography finding.
Results |
Vitrectomy with ILM peeling results in biomicroscopic, functional, and tomographic improvement in both patients, for follow-up periods of 12 months and 8 months, respectively.
Conclusions |
Vitrectomy with ILM peeling and gas tamponade is an effective method for retinoschisis and/or retinal detachment without a macular hole in highly myopic patients.
