Title: Pars Plana Vitrectomy for Macular Hole Retinal Detachment
Abstract: Purpose : To evaluate the clinical characteristics and surgical results of retinal detachment due to macular hole. Methods : We analyzed the record of the patient undergoing pars plana vitrectomy(PPV) for the treatment of macular hole retinal detachment (MHRD). Results : Of all 13 eyes, the follow-up period was 25.7 months on average and 10 eyes were highly myopic. Mean preoperative axial length was 26.58 mm (29.15 mm in high myopia group). In terms of visual acuity, 11 eyes showed less than 0.04 before the operation and on the final examination, 10 eyes 0.04 or more and 11 eyes improved 2 lines or more. Silicone oil was injected in a recurrent case. Finally there was the complete retinal attachment in all 13 eyes and sealed macular hole in 12 eyes. Conclusions : PPV seems to be an effective method for the treatment of MHRD.
