Treatment of retinal detachment in Marfan syndrome

Pars plana lensectomy and vitrectomy were done to treat six eyes with retinal detachment and dislocated lenses in five consecutive patients with Marfan syndrome. In five eyes, the retinas were reattached (follow-up range, 18 months to 4 years). In one eye, the retina redetached ten months after primary surgery and was repaired successfully with pneumatic retinopexy (follow-up, 3 years).
