Abstract
- PURPOSE
To report five cases with management of macular folds by submacluar BSS injection and partial fluid-gas exchange. METHODS: This prospective study report 5 patients (5 eyes). Between December 1999 and October 2002, 5 patients with macular folds underwent submacular BSS injection and partial fluid-gas exchange. We analysed the preoperative and postoperative best corrected visual acuity, color fundus photography, FAG and Amsler-Grid test.
RESULTS
Four cases developed macular folds postoperatively and one case was due to secondary macular folds;complicated with fibrovascular traction by proliferative diabetic retinopathy. The surgery was anatomically successful in all 5 cases. Visual acuity increased two line or more in 4 cases. Subjective metamorphopsia decreased in all 5 patients.
CONCLUSIONS
It is thoughted that submacluar BSS injection and partial fluid-gas exchange can be new and effective method in selective cases of macular folds.
