Embedding the Retinal Flap in the Original Retinal Hole as a Treatment for Retinal Detachment of the Posterior Pole
2025
Overview
Background and Objective
Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) of the posterior pole accounted for only 3.5% of all RRD cases in Japan, with most being macular hole retinal detachments, which are difficult to treat. Retinal detachment of the posterior pole not caused by a macular hole is rare. Herein, we report a case of RRD of the posterior pole that was successfully treated by embedding the original retinal flap with a bridging vessel into the retinal hole.
Patients and Methods
A 56-year-old woman with a preoperative visual acuity of 20/100 was diagnosed with RRD of the posterior pole. We sealed the original retinal tear by embedding the retinal flap within the tear.
Results
One year after surgery, blood flow was maintained in the bridging vessels and peripheral retina.
Conclusion
This technique may be useful for treating retinal detachment caused by retinal tears of the posterior pole.
