  • Title: [Persistent foveal retinal detachment after successful rhegmatogenous retinal detachment surgery by scleral buckling].
    Author: Passemard M, Lafontaine PO, Creuzot-Garcher C.
    Journal: J Fr Ophtalmol; 2007 Apr; 30(4):e10. PubMed ID: 17486035.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a phakic patient with late visual recovery after successful surgery of macula-off retinal detachment, using the scleral buckling procedure. Visual acuity remained low because of the persistence of subfoveal fluid despite the reattachment of peripheral retina. The amount of subfoveal fluid decreased slowly and final visual acuity finally recovered. We used optical coherence tomography (OCT) to quantify the remaining subfoveal fluid. Persistence of submacular fluid can explain late visual recovery after surgical treatment of retinal detachment.
