To report on results of pars plana vitrectomy with ILM peeling in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and concomitant macular hole (MH) and to assess for preoperative associated conditions related to this type of RRD. Patients undergoing surgical repair for RRD between 2014 and 2021 were reviewed, and subjects with concomitant, non-causal, macular hole were identified. We studied post-operative macular status, retinal reattachment rate and visual acuity. Over 532 eyes operated on for RRD, 11 (2.06%) had a concurrent non-causal macular hole. Preoperative PVR B or superior was recorded in 86 eyes (16.6%) of the entire cohort and in 6 eyes (54.54 %) with RRD and concomitant MH (p=0.00001). Severe hypotony with choroidal detachment was present in 15 eyes (2.81%) of the entire cohort and in 3 eyes (27.27%) with RRD and concomitant MH (p=<0.00001). RRD with concomitant MH is an infrequent association. Retinal reattachment and anatomical hole closure can be achieved in most of cases but despite this fact, functional recovery is usually not good. Preoperative PVR is a more frequent finding in this group of patients, as well as severe hypotony with choroidal detachment.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D012160 Retina The ten-layered nervous tissue membrane of the eye. It is continuous with the OPTIC NERVE and receives images of external objects and transmits visual impulses to the brain. Its outer surface is in contact with the CHOROID and the inner surface with the VITREOUS BODY. The outer-most layer is pigmented, whereas the inner nine layers are transparent. Ora Serrata
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.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.

D041623 Tomography, Optical Coherence An imaging method using LASERS that is used for mapping subsurface structure. When a reflective site in the sample is at the same optical path length (coherence) as the reference mirror, the detector observes interference fringes.
