Spontaneous Retinal Reattachment following Multiple Vitreoretinal Interventions: Case Report.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The aim of the study was to document and analyze a rare case of spontaneous retinal reattachment in a patient after successive unsuccessful vitreoretinal surgeries and to explore potential mechanisms contributing to this unexpected outcome.

Case presentation

A 61-year-old patient with a history of high myopia presented with a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. After undergoing multiple vitreoretinal procedures, including pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade, anatomical reattachment was not achieved, and the patient developed complex retinal detachment associated with myopic foveoschisis. Surprisingly, spontaneous reattachment of the retina was observed during routine follow-up. Comprehensive ocular examination, optical coherence tomography (OCT), an
