VITRECTOMY COMBINED WITH PERIOCULAR/INTRAVITREAL INJECTION OF STEROIDS FOR RHEGMATOGENOUS RETINAL DETACHMENT ASSOCIATED WITH CHOROIDAL DETACHMENT

Abstract

For the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment combined with choroidal detachment, pars plana vitrectomy with periocular/intravitreal corticosteroids was comparable in reattachment rate to pars plana vitrectomy with systemic steroids, suggesting an acceptable alternative for patients with this condition who cannot tolerate systemic steroids.
