ABSTRACT
Retinal detachment in congenital glaucoma is rare and often associated with a poor prognosis. In this report, we describe ocular manifestations of congenital glaucoma, pre- and post-operative ophthalmic findings, and overall anatomic and functional outcomes after successful rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair along with a review of the literature. Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in a 45-year-old monocular patient with congenital glaucoma was successfully repaired with small gauge pars plana vitrectomy, intra-operative perfluorocarbon use and 1,000 centistoke silicone oil tamponade. Best-corrected visual acuity improved from CF to 20/70; however, the post-operative course was complicated by hypotony-associated maculopathy after removal of silicone oil. Five thousand centistoke silicone oil was reinfused with good anatomic and functional outcomes. The functional outcome may ultimately be limited by pre-existing amblyopia and other ocular comorbidities.
