Incidence, Management, and Surgical Outcomes of Macular Splitting Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment
Background And Objective:
Limited knowledge exists regarding macular splitting retinal detachment (RD). The purpose of this study is to investigate clinical features and outcomes of macular splitting RD.
Patients And Methods:
This was a retrospective case series performed at a single practice. Macular splitting RD was identified clinically and on optical coherence tomography (OCT). Primary outcomes were anatomical and functional success, and secondary outcomes were factors associated with postoperative visual acuity.
Results:
The overall number of patients with OCT-confirmed macular splitting RD was 16 of 664, which is an incidence rate of 2.4%. Preoperative and final logMAR were 0.33 and 0.13, respectively (P = .002). Presenting visual acuity (VA) (P = 0.015) and duration of symptoms (P = .007) were associated with final VA, whereas time to surgery was not significant (P = .581).
Conclusion:
The incidence of macular splitting RD is higher than previously reported. Anatomical and functional outcomes were excellent in this study. [.
