Vitrectomy and silicone oil injection were performed for treatment of 43 patients with complicated retinal detachment (RD, n=21 ) or subsequent atrophia bulbi (AB, n=22). Retinal reattachment was achieved in 14 (66.7%) of 21 patients with RD, including 11 with idiopathic proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR),6 with traumatic PVR, 3 with congenital uveal coloboma or Marfan syndrome. The visual acuity was better than 0.05 in 7(50%) of successful cases,and better than 0.02 in 11 (78.6%).Only 6(27.3%) patients had retina reattached with visual improvement in 22 cases of AB, including 13 of traumatic PVR,8 of idiopathic PVR.However,the intraoccular pressure was stable and shrinkage of the globe was controlled in 21 (95.5%) of 22 patients with AB.The results indicate that silicone off injection following vitrectomy may provide advanced severe PVR with a chance of successful treatment. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1994,10:4-6）
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the toxicity of retinoic acid in silicone oil to the retinal tissue. METHOD:Twelve New Zealand white rabbits(24 eyes)were divided into three grorps at random. Three days after gas-compression vitrectomy,24 eyes were unedrgone gas/silicone oil exchange. The silicone oil 0.5 ml was injected intravitreally in 4 eyes as controls ,and 5mu;g/ml retinoic acid silicone oil 0.5ml in 10 eyes and 10 mu;g/ml retinoic acid silicone oil 0.5 ml in 10 eyes respectively as 2 study groups. After intravitrea[ injections, all the eyes were examined by ophthalmoscopy on the 1st, 3rd, 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th day. The retinas of the enucleated eyes on the 28th day were then examined by light microscopy and transmission electrone microscopy. RESULT: No evidence of toxicity was found in retinas after intravitreal injections of silicone oil with 5 mu;g/ml or 10 mu;g/ml retinoic acid. CONCLUSION :There was no toxic effect on the retinas by using 5 mu;g/ml or 10 mu;g/ml retinoic acid in intravitreal silicone oil tamponade operation. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1997,13: 81-82）
We uesd domestic perfluorotributylamine to treat 21 eyes with giant retinal tears,including 5 rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with folded and fixed flap and 16 giant retinal tears resulting from retinotomy and retinectomy due to complicated retinal detachment.The success rate of retinal reattachment was over 95%,with no serious side effects.The activities and complications of perfluorotributylamine in the mangement of giant retinal tears were discussed. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1996,12: 22-24）
Objective To probe the clinical feature and complications of extraction of silicon oil after operation of simple rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in child patients. Methods The clinical materials of 22 patients (22 eyes) of child patients (5~14 years old) and 11 cases (11 eyes) of adult patients with simple rhegmatogenous retinal detachment undergone surgical treatment and subsequent retraction of silicon oil tampon, were reviewed and analyzed retrospectively. The reasons of extraction silicon tampon, ocular complications of intrao cular silicon tamponade and the changes of visual acuity pre- and post-extraction of silicon tamponade in above 2 groups were explored. Results The main reason for the extraction and complications of silicon oil tamponade were similar in both groups. The rate of occurrence of the complications in either group rose as time went on . There was no significant difference in change of visual acuity between two groups after the extraction of silicon oil tampon. Conclusion The responses to silicon oil after the operation for simple rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is quite similar in either children or adult patients,and there is no obvious difference between child and adult patients in the results of silicon oil extraction.
