Extennsion of Retinal Detachments as a Complication of Pneumatic Retinopexy

Results and complications of conventional repair of bullous retinal detachment using posterior segment air injection

“…[15][16][17][18][19][20] PVR up to grade C2 was present in 23% of eyes preoperatively. The prognosis for eyes with pre-existing PVR repaired using D-ACE was found to be poor with a success rate of only 54% including re-operations.…”

Treatment of Uncomplicated Cases of Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment with an Expanding Gas Bubble

“…Pneumatic Retinopexy posterior displacement of subretinal fluid in volving the macula [11]. Usually, we performed pneumatic retinopexy with cryotherapy because light coagula tion can be difficult in a partially gas-filled eye.…”

Retinal folds through the macula

“…Obviously, the relatively large volumes of the air/gas bubbles used after drainage in our patients, as well as in those reported previously, relate to the bullous nature of the detachment. Another factor to consider is the steam roller action of the gas bubble, as described in pneumatic retinopexy [7], causing posterior extension of a superior detachment when the patient sits up. This factor must have played a role in patient one, who had an attached macula preoperatively and a fold through the macula postoperatively.…”
