“…Reports have differed, however, regarding the visual results. Initial problems with early postoperative visual loss have improved with changes in technique 8. These have included the recognition that these patients are unusually susceptible to central retinal artery occlusion by increased intraocular pressure, so that the height of the infusion bottle during surgery and the pressures induced during and immediately after silicone oil injection are kept relatively low 3.…”

“…Scleral buckling may be omitted in cytomegalovirus related detachments in which there is very minimal PVR, unlike in this case 4. Other studies considered use of vitrectomy and scleral buckle without silicone oil,5 highlighting the importance of prophylaxis for anterior PVR in these cases with use of a buckle.…”

“…It has been shown to be effective in the management of the epiretinal proliferation associated with proliferative vitreoretinopathy 1213 Since AIDS patients undergoing surgery for viral retinitis related retinal detachment have a limited life expectancy3 5 6 9 10 14 the long term sequelae of intraocular silicone oil15 are less likely to be encountered. The rationale for the use of silicone oil in this setting is therefore fundamentally different from its more general use in vitreoretinal surgery as a temporary (albeit long term in some cases) tamponading agent allowing time for adequate chorioretinal adhesion and the abatement of intraocular proliferation.…”

“…Other series demonstrate mean or median survivals ranging from 17 to 37 weeks 35 6 9 11 14 18 Visual results are also fundamental to our surgical decision making. A best postoperative visual acuity of 20/100 or better was achieved in over 60% of patients, usually 1 to 2 months postoperatively.…”
