Abstract
To determine the effectiveness of scleral buckling with a macular plombe in eyes with myopic macular retinoschisis and retinal detachment without a macular hole. A prospective, consecutive interventional case series. Clinical practice at university hospitals. Six eyes of five consecutive patients with myopic macular retinoschisis and retinal detachment without a macular hole. Intervention Procedure: Scleral buckling with a macular plombe. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), ophthalmoscopic appearance of fundus, and optical coherence tomographic images were recorded preoperatively, and at two weeks, at one, three, and six months, and then every three months thereafter. The mean retinal thickness was reduced significantly by the macular plombe (P < .05). The BCVA was improved by 2 lines or more in four eyes (66%), and remained within 2 lines of the preoperative BCVA in two eyes (34%). The complications were subretinal hemorrhage without choroidal neovascularization in one eye, and a progression of choroidal neovascularization with subretinal hemorrhage, which caused a transient visual impairment in one eye. We recommend that macular scleral buckling with a macular plombe be considered for eyes with myopic macular retinoschisis and retinal detachment without a macular hole.
