Our approach to rhegmatogenous retinal detachment associated with choroidal detachment

Abstract

The medical records of 3 patients with simultaneous choroidal detachment and retinal detachment with grade C vitreoretinopathy, treated in Marmara University School of Medicine between the years 2013 and 2015, were retrospectively investigated. All 3 patients received pulse steroid followed by an oral maintenance dose of steroid treatment. Upon regression of choroidal detachment, the patients underwent a combined surgical procedure of encircling scleral buckling, pars plana vitrectomy and 5500 centistokes silicon oil infusion procedure. Two phakic patients underwent cataract extraction with phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation at the same session. Anatomic success was achieved in all cases. Visual gain was obtained in 2 patients after 12 months of follow-up. © 2016 Gazi Eye Foundation. All Rights Reserved.
