AbstractDue to their complexity, globe ruptures are highly compromising traumas for the patient. This is due on the one hand to the eye injury itself with the accompanying loss of vision and on the other hand due to the need for extended treatment with uncertain prognosis and the resulting psychological stress. Globe ruptures are among the prognostically most unfavorable injuries due to the force and peak pressure impacting the eye. Furthermore, contusional retinal necrosis may be of significance prognostically. In the present review, we discuss treatment of globe ruptures involving retinal surgery. We discuss the primary sugery, its chronological planning and extent as well as the necessity for follow-up interventions. We also discuss the origin of traumatic retinal detachment with differential diagnosis of giant retinal tear versus oradialysis as well as secondary sequelae of traumas such as formation of macular holes and their treatment. On this basis, the use of buckling surgery versus pars-plana vitrectomy is discussed. Further focus is set on the role of the iris lens diaphragm in surgery of globe ruptures.

Case Summary

Background: Stickler syndrome is one of the most common inherited connective tissue disorders and is an important cause of pediatric vision loss due to a high risk of retinal detachment in these patients. Methods: Case report. Case summary: This case reports describes the clinical course of a 10 year old boy with Sticklers Syndrome who underwent bilateral peripheral laser prophylaxis. During routine follow up, he was found to have an asymptomatic giant retinal tear (GRT) with limited sub-retinal fluid expansion due to prior prophylactic laser. He underwent surgery with vitrectomy and scleral buckle with vision remaining at 20/25 at 6 month follow up. Conclusion: Although the utility of laser prophylaxis in Stickler patients is debated, this case demonstrates that after laser prophylaxis, even if GRT develops, expansion can be limited. Laser prophylaxis along with frequent examinations, can prevent development of PVR and complex detachments and preserve macular function with excellent visual outcome.

And Chemical Properties

Silicone oils are polymer structures including siloxane repeats in the center. Copolymers formed by combining these polymers at different ratios constitute different silicone structures with different physical and chemical properties. The presence of several factors such as trauma, giant retinal tear, proliferative vitreoretinopathy and retinal tear in posterior localization is the main medical indications for the use of silicone oils in the surgery of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Problems associated with the need for a second surgical intervention to remove silicone oil, the emulsification of silicone oil with the problem this emulsification, and the presence of foreign structure in eye globe are the most important conditions limiting the use of silicone oil.
