Contraction of a Giant Epiretinal Human Amniotic Membrane Patch Used to Manage a Highly Myopic Retinal Detachment Associated With Multiple Breaks

A 64-year-old highly myopic woman with macular hole retinal detachment (MHRD) in her left eye underwent vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling, and epiretinal implantation of a 4-mm diameter human amniotic membrane (hAM) patch. One month later, she developed a bullous superior RD in he...

Zusammenfassung:A 64-year-old highly myopic woman with macular hole retinal detachment (MHRD) in her left eye underwent vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling, and epiretinal implantation of a 4-mm diameter human amniotic membrane (hAM) patch. One month later, she developed a bullous superior RD in her right eye, associated with a huge MH and multiple posterior breaks. Vitrectomy and ILM peeling were combined with a 15-mm epiretinal hAM patch implantation. One year later, both eyes showed successful MH closure, but the right eye developed an eccentric hAM patch contraction starting 6 months postoperatively, causing a localized stable superonasal RD.
