The authors discuss the pathogenesis and the method of treatment of a retinal detachment with a macular hole basing on personal material and a review of foreign literature. Personal material consists of 11 eyes in 10 patients operated upon in the University Ophthalmic Department in Munich in the period November 1988--April 1990. In all the cases the primary method of treatment based on vitrectomy performed through the pars plana with a gas tamponade. In 4 cases a reoperation with silicon oil tamponade was necessary. Anatomical reattachment of the retina was achieved in 9 among 11 treated eyes. In 10 cases the visual acuity was 1/50 or better. Five among them showed the visual acuity at last 0.1.

D012163 Retinal Detachment Separation of the inner layers of the retina (neural retina) from the pigment epithelium. Retinal detachment occurs more commonly in men than in women, in eyes with degenerative myopia, in aging and in aphakia. It may occur after an uncomplicated cataract extraction, but it is seen more often if vitreous humor has been lost during surgery.
