Abstract
This case report describes an innovative procedure for addressing retinal detachment in patients with morning glory syndrome. An 18-year-old woman with unilateral morning glory syndrome complicated by macula-off retinal detachment without any visible peripheral retinal breaks underwent three corrective surgeries. In the first surgery, a 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy with a 3-mm human amniotic membrane (hAM) patch positioned on the optic disc and gas endotamponade was performed. When the gas reabsorbed, inferior retinal detachment recurred, and a second vitrectomy with silicone oil endotamponade was done. At three months, the retina was still attached under the silicone oil, so the oil was removed. At the second follow-up, retinal detachment had recurred, and a third vitrectomy with a larger amniotic patch and silicone oil endotamponade was performed. Three months following the last surgery, the subretinal fluid had totally reabsorbed, and the retina was completely attached. Best corrected visual acuity was 20/100. To our knowledge, the first description of a human amniotic patch associated with vitrectomy in morning glory syndrome complicated with retinal detachment is described. Using hAMs, positioned onto the optic nerve, and silicone oil endotamponade could be useful for morning glory syndrome complicated by retinal detachment.
