Purpose:
The detection of microretinal breaks in posterior staphyloma is frequently challenging. We evaluated the ability of three-dimensional optical coherence tomography to detect retinal breaks in posterior staphyloma.
Patients:
We prospectively examined two highly myopic eyes of two patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in posterior staphyloma.
Results:
Retinal breaks could not be detected in any of the two eyes by conventional fundus examination; however, these breaks were easily detected on the series of B-scan optical coherence tomography images. The location of retinal breaks was registered in the color fundus photographs, and it corresponded well with the findings during vitrectomy.
Conclusion:
Three-dimensional optical coherence tomography seems to be an effective tool for detecting microretinal breaks and is useful in vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in the area with posterior staphyloma.
