Choroidal Drainage Technique

Sergio Rojas Juarez, MD

Show Description +

This is a surgical case of a 79-year-old woman with a history of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and non-specific glaucoma surgeries in both eyes. Her right eye is at no light perception. Her left eye has a total choroidal detachment with choroidal kissing sign in B-scan ultrasonography with light perception. We performed a choroidal drainage with vitrectomy (silicon oil as endotamponade); the final result was a BCVA of 20/200. We plan to do a silicon oil extraction in 3 months.

Why do a vitrectomy? Both the retina and choroid were were attached...

What was the reason for silicone oil in a drainable choroidal detachment? “Non-specified” glaucoma surgery? Not obvious in preop checkup? Must be the reason for the choroidals.
