Posterior pole retinal detachment due to a macular hole in a patient with a Boston Keratoprosthesis

PURPOSE: To describe the clinical course of a patient with a Boston Keratoprosthesis type I who developed a localized posterior pole retinal detachment secondary to a macular hole. OBSERVATIONS: A 73-year-old patient with a Boston Keratoprosthesis developed a localized posterior pole retinal detachm...

description PURPOSE: To describe the clinical course of a patient with a Boston Keratoprosthesis type I who developed a localized posterior pole retinal detachment secondary to a macular hole. OBSERVATIONS: A 73-year-old patient with a Boston Keratoprosthesis developed a localized posterior pole retinal detachment secondary to a macular hole. The retinal detachment was repaired with a 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy, membrane peel, fluid-air exchange and 18% C(3)F(8.) Retinal reattachment was achieved but the macular hole remained open. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: A posterior pole retinal detachment secondary to a macular hole can be repaired using standard techniques despite the limited view through a Boston Keratoprosthesis.
