Embedding the Retinal Flap in the Original Retinal Hole as a Treatment for Retinal Detachment of the Posterior Pole
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) of the posterior pole accounted for only 3.5% of all RRD cases in Japan, with most being macular hole retinal detachments, which are difficult to treat. Retinal detachment of the posterior pole not caused by a macular hole is rare. He...

| Zusammenfassung: | BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) of the posterior pole accounted for only 3.5% of all RRD cases in Japan, with most being macular hole retinal detachments, which are difficult to treat. Retinal detachment of the posterior pole not caused by a macular hole is rare. Herein, we report a case of RRD of the posterior pole that was successfully treated by embedding the original retinal flap with a bridging vessel into the retinal hole PATIENTS AND METHODS: A 56-year-old woman with a preoperative visual acuity of 20/100 was diagnosed with RRD of the posterior pole. We sealed the original retinal tear by embedding the retinal flap within the tear RESULTS: One year after surgery, blood flow was maintained in the bridging vessels and peripheral retina CONCLUSION: This technique may be useful for treating retinal detachment caused by retinal tears of the posterior pole.
