To describe the excellent outcome of surgery for bilateral giant retinal tears (GRTs) with better options of endotamponade.
This is a case report of a 62-year-old man who presented with bilateral GRTs and associated retinal detachment. The tear in the right eye was supero-temporal and silicone oil was used as an endotamponade. The tear in the left eye was infero-temporal and perfluorocarbon liquid was used as an endotamponade.
The outcome at 6 months after surgery was excellent with visual acuities of 6/6 in both eyes.
Improved availability of endotamponade agents allows repair of bilateral GRTs to be done at the same time, with good surgical outcomes.
描述双侧巨大视网膜裂孔(GRTs)手术的良好效果以及更好的眼内填充选择。
这是一例62岁男性双侧GRTs伴视网膜脱离的病例报告。右眼裂孔位于颞上象限,使用硅油作为眼内填充剂。左眼裂孔位于颞下象限,使用全氟碳液体作为眼内填充剂。
术后6个月效果良好,双眼视力均为6/6。
眼内填充剂可用性的提高使得双侧GRTs能够同时进行修复,手术效果良好。
