| Popis: | In ten cases of nontraumatic retinal tears with initial vitreous hemorrhages so dense that all retinal detail was obscured, medical management included hospitalization, sedation, and binocular patching. It took an average of 4.3 days for the vitreous to clear so that the tears could be examined. All the tears were on or anterior to the equator, and all were in the superior quadrants. Surgery was performed promptly once the tears were visible even though much of the retina was still covered with hemorrhage. After total clearing of the vitreous, no additional retinal tears were found in any of the ten cases. Postoperative complications included hemorrhages in three cases, macular pucker in one case, and a paramacular star in one case. |
