Giant Retinal Tear | Retinal Detachment | Dr. Aureliano Moreno | Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico

Giant Retinal Tears -Represent 1.5% of all rhegmatogenous retinal detachments. -Incidence in general population estimated to be approximately 1 case per 2 million individuals per year. -Surgery is technically difficult and should be performed by an experienced surgeon. -Rate of reattachment following one procedure is 80-90%. Giant retinal tears (GRTs) are full-thickness circumferential tears of more than 90 degrees of the retina that are associated with vitreous detachment. They are related to OCULAR TRAUMA, high myopia, aphakia, pseudophakia, genetic mutations involving collagen and young age. Giant retinal tears comprise 1.5% of all rhegmatogenous retinal detachments and the average age of incidence is 42 years. Giant retinal tear are more common in males, as 72% of all cases occur in males. The incidence of Giant retinal tear in the general population is estimated to be 0.05 per 100,000 individuals. Common techniques used in the management of giant retinal tears include fluid-air exchange, pneumatic retinopexy, scleral buckling, primary vitrectomy with gas or silicone oil tamponade, and combined scleral buckle-vitrectomies. However, management of giant retinal tears poses a great challenge to physicians due to the high risk of intra- and post-operative complications and the many technical difficulties involved. The advent of perfluorocarbon liquids (PFCL) and the use of micro-incisional surgery for the treatment of giant retinal tear has provided new opportunities for the management of giant retinal tears. Today, retinal reattachment can be achieved in 94-100% of cases. Bibliography: J Ophthalmic Vis Res. 2017 Jan-Mar; 12(1): 93–97. doi: 10.4103/2008-322X.200158 Tijuana, Mexico.
