ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To report two cases of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment following rupture of retinal arterial macroaneurysm.DESIGN:
Observational case report.METHODS:
Review of clinical records of 75 consecutive eyes (73 patients) with macroaneurysm.RESULTS:
Ruptured macroaneurysm was present in 68 of the 75 eyes, and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment developed spontaneously in 2 (2.9%) of the 68 eyes. In the 2 eyes with retinal detachment, there were no predisposing lesions to retinal detachment and the detachment occurred either 2 weeks or 1 month after the rupture of a macroaneurysm. Retinal detachment and posterior vitreous detachment developed simultaneously after bleeding from the macroaneurysm spread into the vitreous in 1 eye.CONCLUSIONS:
We report the occurrence of retinal detachment after macroaneurysmal rupture. Detailed fun-dus examination is required to detect retinal detachment in the follow-up of patients with ruptured macroaneurysm.
