Posterior Retinal Folds Following Vitreoretinal Surgery

Time to Resolution of Outer Retinal Folds following Pars Plana Vitrectomy for Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment Using En Face Optical Coherence Tomography

“…These results are contrary to some studies that have linked some of these factors with ORFs resorption [1,16,17]. Although multivariate analysis could not be performed due to our small sample size, we found that greater cumulative mORFs length could be associated with delayed complete resorption.…”

Spontaneous Regression of Postoperative Paracentral Posterior Retinal Folds after Vitrectomy for Rhegmatogenous Pseudophakic Retinal Detachment

“…In our case, the posterior paracentral retinal folds most likely resulted from a combination of factors, such as the gas tamponade, the presence of residual subretinal fluid, and possible retinal slippage during fluid-air exchange 1 , 9 , 11 . The gradual resolution of the fold over a 3-month period indicates that the elasticity of the retina and the potential intrinsic reparative processes of the eye can, in certain cases, overcome the structural alterations induced by fold formation 1 , 12 .…”

Spectral-Domain OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY of a Macular Fold AFTER Retinal Detachment Repair

“…Therefore, they suggested that patients be positioned in a way that would allow intraocular gas or air to initially move from an area of attached retina to detached retina to avoid accumulation of the subretinal fluid at the margin of the attached and detached retina because of gravitational forces. 7 In this case, attempts to detach, shift, and unfold the retina using infusion of fluid subretinally, manipulation with the soft tip cannula, or application of perfluorocarbon liquid appeared only minimally successful intraoperatively. Other risk factors for macular fold formation after vitrectomy for retinal detachment repair include multiple retinal tears, use of circumferential buckles, slippage of giant retinal tears, and incomplete drainage of subretinal fluid intraoperatively.…”
