| Abstract |
|
Recently, various types of perfluorocarbon liquids are used to treat the retinal detachment due to giant tear. The authors treated 3 cases of giant retinal tear with perfluorodecalin and silicone oil. After pars plana vitrectomy, posterior retinal flap was unfolded by injection of perfluorodecalin and exchanged it for silicone oil subsequently. Silicone oil was removed after 4 weeks. Endophotocoagulation and scleral buckling were taken in all cases, and lensectomy for normal lens in 1 case. After the close observation for 6 months or more, retina was reattached successfully in 2 of 3 cases. Because of proliferative vitreoretinopathy, reinjection of silicone oil was needed in 1 case. Perfluorodecalin and silicone oil were useful materials to reattach the folded retinal flap of giant retinal tear. |
