Macula-Off Retinal Detachment with Refractory Macular Hole Previously Closed with Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this report was to present a case of a refractory full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) complicated with recurrent retinal detachment (RD) previously treated with an autologous platelet-rich plasma (aPRP) plug. A 65-year-old male patient presented to our department with a FTMH, RD, and a giant retinal break. Preoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 1.40 logMAR (20/500). A 25-G pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) was performed, with peripheral retinal-breaks laser barrage, peeling of the internal limiting membrane, and silicon oil injection. One month later, spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) showed the persistence of the FTMH with a diameter of 712 μm. Therefore, the patient underwent silicon oil removal and aPRP injection with good anatomical outcome and
