| Abstract |
|
Four cases of retinal detachment with macular hole and no posterior vitreoretinal connections were treated successfully by draining subretinal fluid externally, injecting sulfur hexafluoride gas into the vitreous cavity, and then keeping the patient in a prone position. And in all four cases, the retina remained attached during follow-up periods of 6 months or longer. This approach is simple, easy, and safe. Moreover, it brings good functional success because the macula is preserved. This approach must be the treatment of choice in retinal detachments with macular hole but without other breaks or vitreous adhesion. |
