Long-term functional and structural outcomes after large chorioretinectomy for ruptured globe following blunt trauma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The purpose of this study was to present a modified surgical technique involving pars plana vitrectomy with large chorioretinectomy for eyes with rupture of the globe due to severe ocular blunt trauma.

Methods

This retrospective study included consecutive patients with rupture of the globe due to blunt trauma who were treated at the King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia). All patients underwent 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy with large chorioretinectomies involving all the tissue around the posterior scleral wounds. Outcome measures included best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), anatomical success and globe survival, rates of complications.

Results

15 eyes of 15 patients were included. Mean BCVA was 2.88 ± 0.13 logMAR at presentation, and
