Abstract:
Vitreous surgery is used to treat complicated vitreo-retinal pathology. Retinal tears are a serious complication of vitreous surgery. In this report, the development of giant retinal tears in four eyes after pars plana vitrectomy for posterior segment pathology is described. The pathogenesis and implications of this serious and infrequent complication are discussed.
